"Yesseca, Selina does in fact have your brother's heart, but the reason that she received his heart was because he only had three more days to live. Even then, Selina did not agree, but it was because of your brother's insistence that she finally gave in," said Matthew. "The reason why Selina and I hid the truth about your brother's death from you was because that was his wish. I hope you understand where we were coming from."
Yesseca didn't say anything.
There were all kinds of emotions in her eyes.
After a long while, she stood up. "I want to go back and rest. My mind is in a mess. I need some time to think about all this."
Matthew stood up as well. "Alright, I'll walk you out."
After getting into the car, Matthew said to Yesseca, "By the way, Selina doesn't know about this. She doesn't know I came to look for you. She just gave birth to our baby, I don't want to worry her. I hope you understand."
Yesseca didn't reply.
Matthew started the engine and drove out.
The atmosphere was dreary.
Neither Yesseca nor Matthew spoke.
Matthew also knew that Yesseca couldn't digest so many things at once. He needed to give her time. He only hoped that Yesseca could believe his words and not be misled by others.
Although Yesseca didn't mention the person who misled her, Matthew could make a guess.
There were only a few people who knew about this matter. Except for Essie, no one else would tell Yesseca about this.
But why didn't Essie keep her promise? Why did she tell Yesseca? She must have made up a few parts of the story as well.
No one knew for certain where Essie's whereabouts were. Matthew had sent people to look for her, but she could not be found.
What on earth did Essie want?
Matthew furrowed his brows.
He was worried that if Essie really did something bad, it would be very tricky. After all, she wasn't an ordinary person. She was skilled in dark magic, and could do all kinds of things that most people could not.
In a blink of an eye, they had arrived at Yesseca's house.
Matthew stopped the car. "Yesseca, go back and have a good rest. If you have any questions, call me immediately."
Yesseca pushed open the door.
She was about to step out when she came to a realization.
She turned back. "So, your brother attacked my brother, and threw him into the sea."
Matthew's expression turned apologetic. "Yes, that's right."
No matter what his relationship with Reid was, Reid was indeed his biological brother. Their relationship could not be denied. If Yesseca was angry at him because of Reid, there was nothing Matthew could do about it.
Yesseca stressed each word, "If it weren't for the fact that he was beaten up, he would have lived."
"That's right."
Yesseca didn't say anything more. She turned around and got out of the car.
On the second floor, Yesseca saw a gloomy man standing by the entrance of her house.
He exuded an aura of nobility. His presence was incompatible with that of the shabby corridor he was standing in.
It was Tremaine.
Yesseca acted like she didn't see him.
It was as if he was invisible. She just wanted to walk into her home.
Her apathy ignited the anger within Tremaine.
He had already been angry because of that phone call.
Yesseca didn't pick up her phone. He'd even sent someone to look for her, and in the end, she scolded him.
He thought, for the sake of this woman, he was completely irrational.
He had so many things to deal with, and yet he'd actually went all out to look for Yesseca.
But after looking for her, she treated him as though he was invisible.
No one had ever regarded him as thin air.
Tremaine went in along with Yesseca the moment she opened the door and entered. He locked Yesseca in his arms.
