Chapter 155
For a whole week, Yvan had not set foot in Matilda’s hospital room. When he finally re–entered the sterile space. Matilda’s pale face lifted to meet his gaze, her eyes seething with a startling intensity of loathing.
“I’m taking our son with me,” she declared.
It wasn’t a plea but a statement, crisp and clear.
A twitch flickered between Yvan’s brows. He couldn’t quite explain his obsession with Logan, their son. Perhaps he feared that if Logan left. Matilda would vanish from his life entirely.
Holding Logan close was like holding onto Matilda; it was his way of keeping her within his
grasp.
But this time, the raw emotion in Matilda’s eyes frightened him. She seemed to have cast aside. all her vulnerabilities, ready to flee from him at all costs.
His voice took on a darker edge. “You don’t have the right to take Logan away.”
Matilda remained silent, her voice only surfacing after a long pause. “Yvan, if you want to be a part of Logan’s life, then you better come clean about Ella! I won’t let my son be around a murderer!”
The accusation set a wave of irritation through Yvan. “What do you want to achieve with this tantrum, Matilda? I admit the kidnapping was an unfortunate accident, but can’t you stop slandering innocent people? Murderer? Who is the murderer here?”
Matilda felt as if her chest had been torn open, the icy wind whistling through the gaping hole. She fixed her gaze on Yvan’s handsome face, searching for a shred of guilt or remorse, but he was impassive.
She laughed bitterly. “Yvan, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me. I’m beyond caring! But I will never put my son back in such danger! It’s because of you that he was taken!”
“Have you had enough of this?” Yvan could no longer contain his frustration and roared, “Matilda, stop using your grievances to justify your overreactions!”
Her body shuddered under the force of his shout, and with a low, mocking laugh, she retorted, “Me? Grievances? What right do I have to feel aggrieved when my life is in someone else’s hands?”
She was taunting him relentlessly.
Yvan understood her game, but as he stepped closer and saw the redness in her eyes, the hurtful words he meant to say suddenly got stuck in his throat.
Matilda had once warned him, “Yvan, one day, I will leave your world for good.”
She wanted to escape desperately.
When Yvan stormed out, slamming the door behind him, his hands trembled violently. Matilda’s expression always made him feel as if their hopeless situation might Indeed be reaching its
end.
What would he do the day Logan could no longer anchor her to him? Yvan’s heart shook at the thought.
The next day, the skies over Sea City wept a torrential downpour as if the heavens themselves were crying. The rain lashed against people’s faces, stinging with its ferocity.
It was on this dreary day that Matilda chose to leave.
She packed her bags, determined to discharge herself from the hospital, her body still marked. with bruises. At the reception desk, Yvan arrived to visit her while she was completing the discharge paperwork. His eyes immediately found her frail form amid the crowd. She looked painfully thin after the ordeal of the kidnapping.
Noticing the luggage at her side, Yvan’s heart clenched. He strode over and grabbed her wrist. “What are you trying to pull now?”
But Matilda simply looked up at him with an indifferent gaze as if he were a stranger.
She pulled her hand free and gave Yvan a wry smile. “Yvan, I’ve finally escaped your clutches.”
