    Chapter 1965 Hurt


    In the end, Matteo decided to visit Tobias, and was also updated on recent events by Lana, whom he


    hadn’t seen in a while.


    While leading him to the ward, Lana rted, “He was indeed informed that a kidney donor was found.


    However, this is the first time I have heard that they were donated by Hugo’s daughter.”


    The injuries that Tobias suffered were very grave indeed.


    Back then, out of the five she had chosen from the academy, only Tobias and Matteo made the cut to


    be sent to Tn Pce.


    In the end, no one had expected Hugo to be so cruel as to hire eight mercenaries and order them to


    fight to the death, with the goal of choosing thest man standing.


    As a result, Matteo, in order toplete his mission, had no choice but to kill everyone else and


    grievously hurt his fellow ssmate.


    Fortunately, Lana had arrived at the nick of time to save Tobias.


    Back at the ward, Matteo arrived at the door with Lana.


    One year had passed since hest saw Tobias, who had gone through a kidney transnt. Thetter,


    lying in bed in good spirits, broke into a smile at the sight of Matteo.


    “Theo, you’re here.”


    “Mmm-hmm.”


    Matteo nodded as he threw Tobias’ body a concerned nce, especially at thetter’s waist.


    “How do you feel? Are theypatible?”


    “Huh?”


    His words stunned the other two in the ward.


    Compatible? What a strange question. If they weren’t, how could the transnt even bepleted?


    When both of them gave Matteo a quizzical nce, they noticed that his gaze continued to be fixed on


    Tobias’ waist. It felt as if he could see through Tobias’ skin and look directly at the kidneys.


    As it was the hospital’s protocol to keep the donor’s identity a secret, Tobias had no idea where the


    kidneys came from.


    When the two of them came out a few minutester, Lana brought up Rosalie.


    “Actually, Rosalie, who was long suffering from uremia and relied on kidney dialysis to survive, didn’t


    know that the kidneys she received belonged to your uncle. The entire encounter was probably just a


    bad coincidence.”


    “Is that so?”


    “Yes. When we questioned Hugo, he wasn’t aware of the matter too. Moreover, he treated his daughter


    just like a pawn. Her mother was his first wife and also a member of the Southeast Astorian royal


    family. After her death, the only one who could maintain rtions between the royal family and the


    Tns was Rosalie.”


    When Lana provided a summary of Rosalie’s background, her voice was filled with pity and regret.


    Without a doubt, that girl was innocent. The only thing she did wrong was being born into the Tn


    family, who raised her into an arrogant and wilful girl. But behind that spoilt character of hers, no one


    knows how much she has suffered.


    Subsequently, Matteo headed home.


    “Where did you go today?”


    Matteo was surprised to run into Sebastian who was seldom at home at that hour. When Sebastian,


    who recognized the gloomy look on Matteo’s face, asked him about it, Matteo hesitated.


    “I… I went to see Captain Warlow, Daddy. I still want to be a police officer. Just like them, I can fight


    crime and uphold justice in every corner of the world,” Matteo, staring at Sebastian, pleaded with


    conviction.


    This was the third time he had appealed to his father about the matter. Ever since he returned, his


    family, especially his mother, had refused to discuss the matter due to their fear of losing him.


    Meanwhile, Sebastian’s swept his gaze across Matteo’s face before checking his height. It then


    dawned upon him that the twenty-year-old Matteo was now as tall as he was.


    In the end, he asked, “Have you thought through it?”


    Matteo nodded without reservation. “I have. Look, Ian and Susan are now engaged. Once they have


    graduated from Antius, they will likely join Hayes Corporation.


    “As for Kurt and Vivi, there’s even less need to worry about them. Upon graduation, they will return to


    Oceanic Estate to take care of you and Mom. Therefore, I’m in the best position to join the police force.


    Also, I want to be just like Grandpa and Uncle Devin. Daddy, isn’t that what you wish for me prior


    to this?”


    Matteo looked sincerely at his father, his eyes filled with passion and determination. The look on his


    face made it hard for anyone to refuse him.


    Naturally, Sebastian agreed in the end but on one condition.


    Matteo was to give Natalie a call or send her a message every day.


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    “Ever since Nat watched the video of her dad being harmed, she isn’t willing to talk to anyone else


    other than you. Even your mom has failed to get her to speak. Hence, I’m worried that she would turn


    into a second Ian if you leave,” Sebastianmented with his brows furrowed tightly.


    As Matteo’s eyes darkened at the words, a sense of anguish struck him momentarily.


    Back then, no one had expected the sudden turn of events, for Lana and Ian had made sure Brandon’s


    case had been entirely covered up.


    Subsequently, due to the perpetrator’s arrest, his subordinates sent Natalie, who was in school at that


    time, the video of how her father was humiliated and had his kidneys harvested. They probably had


    likely done so out of revenge.
