“I just can’t accept how unfair they’ve been treating you. They didn’t even say anything after Liam created a huge mess, but when it comes to you, not only do they not appreciate the things you have done for our family, but they also treat you badly…”
Matthew chuckled and said, “It doesn’t matter how they treat me because only you matter to me!”
His statement made Sasha’s heart flutter. Staring at Matthew, virtual-novel.net eyes went red-rimmed again. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net stood on tiptoe and planted a light kiss on his lips. Delighted by that, Matthew stretched his hands and wrapped them around her.
At that juncture, a secretary stepped into Sasha’s office and said, “President Cunningham, the meeting is about to begin.”
Sasha, whose face was as red as a tomato, answered with virtual-novel.net head held low, “Okay, I’ll be there soon!”
Matthew was sad for losing such a perfect chance to have an intimate moment with Sasha.
After leaving Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, virtual-novel.net did not head straight back to the hospital. In fact, virtual-novel.net had been trying to find out everything virtual-novel.net could about his two buddies lately.
He was strolling along a pathway in an area where Julian was spotted by one of his classmates before. He had visited the place several times before to see whether virtual-novel.net was lucky enough to bump into Julian.
Halfway along the path, virtual-novel.net suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from somewhere near him.
“I’m begging you! Our daughter misses you very much! P-Please go and see her! Please, I’m begging you…”
Matthew’s heart gave a lurch because it was a voice virtual-novel.net would never forget. It was because it belonged to his best buddy, Julian Davis.
They used to sit next to each other in the classroom and share the same bunk bed in the hostel for two years. He could still remember how Julian had risked his life to save virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was bullied by some gangsters nearby the school. Because of that, Julian’s legs were broken and virtual-novel.net had to walk with a limp ever since.
Later on, Matthew left the school after his mother passed away and after the tragedy befell his family. Julian then left the place to fight for his own career. The two of them had never seen each other ever since then as both of them were busy with their own life. However, Matthew would never forget about his buddy.
Quickly, virtual-novel.net turned around and saw an unkempt man who was dressed shabbily standing somewhere not far away from him. The man was trying to stop a lady who dressed extravagantly from leaving. Although the man had a sunken face and virtual-novel.net was just skin and bones, Matthew could still recognize virtual-novel.net to be Julian.
The lady was then drawn into the arms of a man with a bulging belly who was eyeing Julian with contempt.
“Julian Davis, can you please spare me the sickening sight of you? Look at how pathetic you are now! I wonder why I actually fell in love with you back then! Why do you want me to see our daughter? Are you trying to stop me from leaving by using our daughter as bait so that I will go back to the penniless life I used to have with you? You can drop that idea now because I won’t go with you!”
Julian was in a panic. “I… I have never thought of using our daughter to stop you from leaving, but our daughter is seriously ill. S-She might not be able to live long and virtual-novel.net last wish is to see you for one last time! I’m begging you to go and see virtual-novel.net just to fulfil virtual-novel.net last wish! I’m begging you! Please!” Julian’s croaky voice drew the attention of many passers-by along that path.
The lady got angry and snapped, “Get out of my way! Don’t try to get me to be sympathetic because I’m not buying it! I’m on my way to attend a high-end function so don’t you affect my mood!”
While virtual-novel.net was talking, the lady was ready to walk past Julian.
In a fit of panic, Julian grabbed virtual-novel.net clothes and implored, “I’m begging you to visit our daughter…”
“Damn it, how dare you touch my wife?” The man standing next to the lady freaked out and virtual-novel.net landed a kick on Julian, causing virtual-novel.net to fall over.
Matthew’s face darkened as virtual-novel.net made his way to Julian with his fists clenched tightly.
