Chapter 63: Cruel and inhumane torture (1)
Matthew dragged his tired body and had just returned to the villa when Tom came to him with his maid, with a somewhat unnatural expression on his face, which made Matthew a bit puzzled. "Tom, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Ton nodded, with a somewhat laconic expression on his face, he wasn't sure if he would be as calm as he was when he told him about it.
He looked at Tom, the man who had watched him grow up, and in Matthew's heart, he still respected him. He put down the paper bag in his hand and sat down on the sofa in the living room. "Tom, say it, what is it, I am no longer the little boy I used to be, now I have the ability to bear whatever happens."
Tom nodded and glanced at the maid beside him.
"You tell Matthew what you saw,"
The servant nodded understandingly.
"This afternoon, Miss Li ran out in a great hurry, Tom was afraid she might be in danger, so he sent me to follow her, but I saw, instead, Miss Li meeting with Lisa."
The servant told Matthew what he saw, because the distance was too far, so he couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Are you sure that Lauren and Lisa met?" The servant's words made Matthew stand up from the sofa at once.
The man nodded with certainty.
"That's what I saw with my own eyes, and I vaguely heard, what Miss Lee said about the heirloom, except that Lisa seemed to scold Miss Lee and finally left with that young man." Matthew took a few deep breaths in order to calm himself to receive this information, his narrow black eyes, can not see any emotion.
"Tom, has she come back now?"
Tom shook his head.
"No, hasn't been back until now."
Matthew nodded.
"When she comes back tell her to meet me in the study, I have something to ask her." After saying that, Matthew picked up the file bag beside him and headed upstairs to the study.
I don't know if it was his illusion, Tom felt his back, as if he had a lonely look.
Lauren, who didn't know how to face Matthew, still returned to the villa when it was dark.
"Tom, is something wrong?"
Seeing Tom standing at the door, as if waiting for her, Lauren had a bad feeling.
"Matthew asked you to meet him in the study when you return, he seems to have something to ask you,"
Lauren nodded, unsure of what exactly Matthew knew, but she knew that what was coming would come, and she could not choose to avoid it.
She dragged her heavy steps, then made her way to Matthew's study.
"Matthew, are you in there? Why don't you turn on the light?"
Lauren walked into the study, and the darkness inside gave Lauren an inexplicable feeling of unease.
"Lauren, can you bring out the pictures of the two of us from before? I want to go to the rooftop with you to see how sweet we used to be."
A mature and somewhat low voice came from the corner of the study.
Hearing Matthew's voice, Lauren felt at ease and without any doubt walked towards the second drawer of the desk and directly opened it to take out the large stack of photos inside. 'Snap' Matthew turned on the study's headlight.
"Lauren, I want to ask you, have you ever lied to me?"
Matthew's words made Lauren's heart feel uneasy once again. She slowly walked over to Matthew's direction.
"Matthew, what are you saying? Why can't I understand?"
Lauren forced herself to face Matthew calmly, but the subtle expression on her face still gave away her nervousness and uneasiness.
"Lauren, are you scared?"
Matthew's face had no expression, but his long index finger was laced with coldness, slowly stroking Lauren's cheek, little by little, swimming downward.
"How can I...... be afraid?"
Lauren's uneasiness is getting stronger, especially the coldness on Matthew's fingertips, making Lauren's face raise in fear.
"I'm asking you, do you know where Lisa is?"
"Lisa?"
Lauren was visibly startled, her shoulders trembled slightly a few times, although she quickly regained her composure, but such a subtle reaction was still caught by Matthew. A flash of heartache of being deceived flashed through his heart.
"I don't know where my mother is. I'm looking for her, too, and if I hadn't lost my old memory, maybe I might have found her."
"Ah."
There was a scream from Lauren in the study, a scream that gave the maids outside a creepy feeling.
"Matthew, let go of
......
ah......"
The choking on her neck made Lauren's eyes full of supplication and her face full of pain.
"Why? Why did you lie to me? You obviously did not lose your memory, but you keep lying to me and cheating me out of my feelings for you, you obviously have a connection with Lisa, but you cheat me out of any connection, Lauren, do you see my Matthew's feelings for you, as worthless?"
He did not immediately leave his hands from Lauren's neck, but instead increased the force, the more pain Lauren was in, the more he could ease the shock he was feeling inside because of the deception.
"I ...... I didn't."
With her neck held tightly by Matthew, Lauren spoke with some effort. Her beautiful eyes were now filled with pain.
"No?"
Matthew's dark eyes, locked tightly on Lauren's body, those shady and feverish eyes as if the world owed him.
"How are you going to explain these photos? Only the Lauren who didn't lose her memory before would know where these photos are? But you just found these photos easily, Lauren, how do you expect me to believe you?"
Matthew let go of his hand and dropped all the photos on the table on Lauren's body. He didn't pay any attention to whether the sharp corners of these photos would hurt Lauren. "Did you ...... just test me?"
Lauren covered her painful neck and looked in pain at the man she loved with all her heart.
"If I didn't test you, how could I know that the woman I love has been staying by my side by means of deceiving me. Lauren, this is what you asked for, at first I warned you, don't deceive me, or I will let you taste, the taste of life is worse than death, today's result, is your own creation, can't blame me.
Matthew's eyes, flooded with an eerie cold. Lauren subconsciously shivered a few cold shivers.
"Matthew, give me a chance, I didn't mean it, I just want to be with you, huh?"
Lauren knelt on the ground, grabbed the corner of Matthew's pants and begged bitterly.
Matthew raised his right foot, and with a miserable scream, Lauren was like a ball, kicked hard into the corner by Matthew.
The pain instantly hit her entire body, and during her descent, Lauren's tender back hit the bedpost hard, and a heartbreaking pain caused Lauren to slowly close her eyes. She endured this painful moment alone.
