A Journey from Bitterness to Truth

Chapter 106

Matilda’s eyes brimmed with tears, laughter shaking her like an autumn leaf in the wind, Her voice, once sweet and melodious, now carried the tragic weight of a nightingale singing with Its last breath. She called out to Yvan with a teasing familiarity, reminiscent of their intimacy five years prior. But the fleeting joy was quickly smothered by an onslaught of frigid agony, every sense amplified and wailing in despair.

“Yvan, oh Yvan, my brother’s dead! Can’t you crack a smile for me? If I were you, I’d be laughing in my dreams! You keep accusing me of lying, but today was truly my brother’s birthday, now forever marred by his passing! Yvan, you wanted revenge, didn’t you? You wanted me to suffer worse than death! Well, congratulations, you’ve succeeded!”

Her last words tore from her throat with the force of her anguish, gesturing towards the door, a metallic taste of blood in her mouth. “Get out!”

Yvan felt an inexplicable panic, gazing at the Matilda before him, drained of all strength.

Why had it come to this?

“Get out, I said! Leave!” The Matilda of the past would never have unleashed such fury on Yvan, not even if she was deeply wronged. But now…

“Could you both please calm down? The deceased has passed; let’s show some respect.” A nearby nurse, witnessing the volatile emotions, intervened out of concern for maintaining order in the hospital.

But the phrase ‘The deceased has passed‘ drained the color from Matilda’s face, leaving her feeling as if crucified in the next instant–bleeding profusely, her pain bone–deep and excruciating. Every cell, every inch of her skin screamed with a pain that made life feel worse

than death.
