Chapter 230


    As Matthew listened to Willow’s fragmented words, his difort grew. “Matthew, I won’t ever forgive you. Never gonna forgive you…”


    Willow’s voice seemed distant. She was lost in her own turmoil, oblivious to his presence. And she wouldn’t forgive herself either. Because she had falled to protect Aaron and Nic.


    “Shut your mouth, Willow!”


    Matthew’s words sliced through the tension as he clutched her throat in a fit of rage.


    “Matthew, I…”


    But Willow’s attempt at a response was silenced by the tightening grip, leaving her staring into the abyss,


    <b>lost </b>like a child in the dark.


    With nothing left, she knew. Even in death, Aaron and Nic, would never forgive her.


    It was a bitter irony–bereft of everything, yet <b>unable </b>to seek retribution for Nic, Aaron, Kenan, or her grandmother.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Skyler’sughter rang out. It was a haughty, disdainful sound that grated on Willow’s nerves. How could she find amusement in Willow’s suffering?


    With a surge of adrenaline, Willow pushed aside the fear of Matthew snapping her neck and lunged at Skyler. Spotting a shard of broken wood on the ground, Willow seized it and swung at Skyler’s head.


    “Are you out of your fucking mind, Willow?”


    No one expected Willow to act so boldly, not even with Matthew’s hand tightening around her throat. Skyler took the brunt of the blow.


    But Willow was weak, and it wasn’t enough to draw blood. Still, she continued to rain down blows on


    Skyler, determined to make her feel the same pain she endured.


    “Thunk!”


    Willow’s attack came to an abrupt halt as Matthew viciously mmed her to the ground. Looking down at her with disdain, he spat, “Willow, have you really turned into a rabid dog?”


    Willow’sughter was tinged with bitterness and despair. She wished she were a rabid dog. That way, she’d be capable of tearing apart everyone who had ever wronged her.


    “Mr. Mayer, I reckon Willow’s gone off the deep end. Let’s just leave her be. Wi’s still waiting for you at the hospital,” Skyler suggested.


    She was eager to get Matthew away so she could continue her cruel game with Willow.


    <b>She </b>figured when Matthew heard Wilhelmina’s name, he’d bolt to the hospital. Instead, he barked orders to his crew, “Get Ms. Dawson back to the damn hospital!”

    Then, stepping forward, he yanked Willow up like she was a <b>rag </b>doll. Willow was limp and powerless <b>as </b>Matthew grabbed her shoulders and did as he pleased.


    “Mr. Mayer, Wi…”


    Matthew didn’t even nce at Skyler. His eyes drilled Into Willow with a hatred as sharp as a de. Willow, you still owe me.”


    Skyler had nned to rough up Willow herself. But hearing Matthew’s words, she knew he wouldn’t go easy on her.


    Matthew’s ways were always brutal. Skyler savored the thought of Willow suffering. With Willow’s fate. sealed, Skyler turned and briskly left the cemetery.


    “Willow, you killed my child. Now, you owe Wi and I a child in return!”
