Time had stopped.

Dolores Flores stood there and was wobbling as if she was about to collapse.

Matthew Nelson stared her in the eyes desperately and spoke word by word.

"That night, it was me."

She was stunned by Matthew’s remarks and was thrown into confusion as if she had gotten struck by lightning.

She stood rooted to the ground.

"What...What did you say?" "How can it be, how can it be, how can it be you?" She said, covering her face with her hands while weeping and laughing at the same time.

It was unbelievable, she walked back and forth, thinking how could that be.

"Back then Sampson Herbert investigated for me, he said... he said it was a local that night, how could it be you?" Her leg accidentally knocked the bed edge, tumbled onto the bed, and rubbed her hair vigorously.

Matthew seized her self-injury-like scratching hand, held her chin, and forced her to look at him, "What did you say? You've investigated it?"

There were still remnants of tears in her eyes.

She looked at him with fear and anxiety, her mouth was like holding an ice cube in it, she whimpered for quite a long time but couldn’t get the words out, she pulled out her hand that Matthew had clutched, her fingers swept over his cheek, slid to his neck, along his collar, and touched his shoulder, "I suspected it when I discovered bite marks on your shoulder. So I requested Sampson to assist me to investigate, and he subsequently  informed me... that night was a local."

She gradually calmed down; could it be that her original thoughts were correct and Sampson had lied to her?

Sampson had always been there for her, taking care of her and assisting her, and had frequently stated that Samuel Flores and Simona Flores are pathetic without a father.

But, in reality, had he already known the truth all along but was keeping it from her?

"Did he lie to me?" she said, raising her gaze.

Matthew reached out to her and covered the back of her hand with his warm pal. He held her icy hands tight by wrapping them up with his hands.

At this time, his emotions were indescribable; All the words that he wanted to say turned into a kiss that deeply covered her lips.

Dolores was still in a dreamlike state where everything was so blurry and surreal.

Like a bubble in an illusion which burst after a poke.

But the heat from him who stood very close to her was so real and so intense.
