Chapter 156
Yvan’s heart skipped a beat, words failing him as Matilda slipped away. He hurried after her. blocking her path once more, “What the hell do you want?”
Matilda chuckled lightly. “I’ve already made it crystal clear; you need to get Ella to turn herself
- in.
“Ella would never do that!” Yvan still thought Matilda was messing around. “It’s not safe for your out there alone. Wouldn’t it be better to stay in the hospital and recover properly?”
“Not safe?” Matilda wrenched herself free and, in front of the bustling hospital crowd, stapped Yvan hard across the face. “What right do you have to say that to me? Who got me into this mess, Yvan? Don’t you dare play innocent with me!”
Publicly humiliated, Yvan felt a surge of anger, but before he could retort, Matilda cut him off. “Shut up! Yvan, I owe you nothing! Go live your life with Ella, but from today forward, stop bothering me! Hugging Ella while refusing to let me go, Yvan, did you lose your fucking conscience or something? Let me tell you, I couldn’t care less. I don’t need this kind of drama in my life!”
Spectators at the hospital sensed the commotion at the front desk, casting sidelong glances their way.
“See those two over there? Looks like the lady’s giving the guy a piece of her mind.”
“Why’s she going off on him? The guy’s pretty easy on the eyes.”
“I caught a bit of their convo. Sounds like the dude’s been playing the field.”
“Tsk, tsk. looks can be deceiving, he’s a scumbag. No wonder she’s so cut up about it…”
“Yeah, look how thin that poor girl is. She needs a good man to take care of her…”
“That jerk has the nerve to show up at the hospital after what he did? Bet she’s there because of his crap.
“Shh. let’s go, let’s go. Always the same story – plenty of beauties fall for assholes who don’t appreciate them.”
Yvan trembled with rage, the bystanders‘ comments stinging his ears. When had he ever been subjected to such insult? He found Matilda utterly irrational. “Matilda, you’ve really outdone yourself since five years ago!”
“Yeah. I was a murderer back then!” Matilda’s laugh was tinged with hysteria, “Let go of me!”
“Don’t you care about your son anymore?” Yvan roared, “Logan is still with me…”
“I don’t care anymore!”
The moment those words spilled out, Yvan felt as if the ground beneath him shifted.

The pain began to spread throughout his body. In disbelief, his hands shaking, it took him a while to regain his composure and ask again, “What did you just say?”
Matilda’s laughter was bitter as she walked away, “I said I don’t care anymore. Yvan, you like using Logan to threaten me, right? Well, I don’t want my son anymore! Is that what you wanted? If I were you, I’d be laughing in my dreams! You can make him call anyone ‘mom‘ you like. I don’t care about Logan anymore; he’s all yours. Now get fucking lost!”
Her final word, “lost,” was a scream of exhaustion. She had said it; she had voiced it out loud!
“Yvan, from now on, you have nothing to threaten me with!”
At that moment, her slender silhouette was etched into the far reaches of his vision, and it stayed there until Matilda completely disappeared from view. Only then did Yvan seem to snap back to reality, his face ashen. After several seconds, he staggered backward as if he’d been pushed.
