Chapter 395
Louis was shocked. He recalled Matthew’s unwavering determination when he had intercepted him in the <b>parking </b>lot. Perhaps Matthew truly meant what he said. He might indeed be sincere about Valerie and not <b>just </b>ying around with her. This revtion unsealed him <b>deeply</b>.
<b>Meanwhile</b>, not far away, Angel had overheard their conversation. She couldn’t help clenching her fists tightly. Her nails dug deep into her flesh, and she <b>was </b>unaware of the pain.
Angel thought, <b>Is </b>Matthew really going to reveal the truth to Valerie?‘
Watching Olivia and Max emerge from the hall, Matthew headed towards Olivia. Angel felt her heart racing uncontrobly. Her mind raced. ‘No, this can’t happen! I won’t ept it, not at any cost!!
Then, a sudden crash startled everyone. It was the sound of a wine <b>ss </b>hitting the ground.
Olivia was just emerging from the hall. She heard the sound and turned towards Angel. There she saw Angel, holding her injured hand, <b>blood </b>dripping from her fingers.
“Angel, what happened?” Olivia eximed in shock. She quickly walked toward Angel. “Oh dear, you’re bleeding. Let’s bandage that up quickly. How did this happen?”
Angel quickly stepped forward and embraced Olivia. Her shoulder was trembling as tears streaming down her face. She wiped her tears and said, “I’m fine, I just… I just thought about Sarah, she was about my age, and so unfortunate… I was ovee with grief and lost myself for a moment…
Olivia was taken <b>aback</b>. Her eyes also became teary. She gently patted Angel’s back. “You’re so thoughtful, my dear. But please be careful, don’t hurt yourself. Let’s go and get that hand bandaged right away”
Angel nodded tearfully<b>, </b>clinging to Olivia’s arm, and <b>said </b>affectionately. Thank you, Olivia, for being so curing. From now on, please think of me as Sarah, and I will take care of you <b>as </b>she would have”
Over the years, Olivia had indeede to see Angel as a part of <b>Sarah</b>. Hearing Angel say this warmed her heart, tears nearly welling up in her eyes <b>as </b>she nodded softly. “Alright… alright!
With this exchange, the <b>two </b>embraced tightly, leaving no room for anyone else to intervene.
Matthew’s gaze turned cold as he fixed his eyes on Angel. No matter what Angel did, he felt she had ulterior motives. He suspected <b>that </b>she hurt herself on purpose.
Meanwhile, Valerie had finished resting. Absentmindedly sipping water, she hadn’t noticed <b>what </b>was happening nearby. <b>Walking </b>over, she saw Olivia chatting with Angel. Valerie said, “Mr. Redfield, Mrs. Anderson, it’s gettingte. I’m ready to leave now,”
Olivia <b>had </b>initially wanted to keep Valerie for a chat, but seeing Angel’s distressed look, she nodded to Valerie. Take care on your way back. Visit us
next time.”
Valerie <b>smiled </b>politely, neither confirming nor denying future visits. She didn’t <b>have </b>much connection with the Anderson family. Yet, if the opportunity arose, she wouldn’t mind seeing Olivia again. Valerie <b>had </b>admired the paintings on the wall just now. She had loved painting since childhood but hadn’t <b>had </b>many chances to study it
However, she quickly dismissed the thought. She would soon be busy with her new job. She wouldn’t <b>have </b>much free time when <b>she </b>went <b>to </b>Redfield Pictures. She would think about learning painting in the future.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
Valerie bid farewell to the two elders and left.
Watching Valerie walk away, Angel felt a secret joy in her heart as if she had won a <b>battle</b>. However, Matthew immediately said, “Mrs. Anderson, I should also take my leave.
Olivia <b>nodded </b>repeatedly. “Okay. Despite your busy schedule, thank you foring to see Sarah. She would appreciate it. It’s gettingte. You should go home.”
Olivia thought <b>Matthew </b><b>was </b>heading back to the Grant <b>family’s </b>residence. Only Angel knew Matthew <b>was </b>likely going after <b>Valerie</b><b>.</b>
Angel had worked hard to stop Matthew <b>from </b>telling Olivia the truth. If <b>Matthew </b><b>and </b>Valerie confessedter, all her efforts would be in vain. Her hand injury would have been for nothing.
“Matthew… She couldn’t help but pout, wanting to say her hand hurt and ask him to take her home,
But before she could speak, Matthew nced <b>at </b>her. “You got hurt today. Why not stay here with Mrs. Anderson? You’ve been missing Sarah, <b>haven’t </b>you? Spend some time with her.”
Angel was left speechless. She thought, What did he mean spend some time with Sarah She’s dead
already!”
