My Heart only Beats for You

Reid snorted. "Dad, you must have talked to him, but it was useless, right?"

The awkwardness on Ludwik's face deepened.

Indeed, Reid was right.

When Reid's company had just started facing that crisis, he'd gone to find Matthew.

Matthew had always been filial, but he'd refused to help with the matter.

No matter how hard he'd tried to persuade him, Matthew would not agree.

"Reid, what happened between you and Matthew? Why is there such a big gap between you two?" Ludwik sighed heavily. "I only have two sons. I really don't want the relationship between you two to become too tense."

Reid did not speak. He pursed his lips and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, he said, "Dad, I don't want to mess up with Matthew, so I came to see you this time to see if I can improve my relationship with him."

He paused and lowered his voice. "I thought about my relationship with Matthew. It went bad since eight years ago. Eight years ago, Matthew suddenly disappeared for a year. That year, I didn't contact him either. After he came back, there was a distance between us."

Ludwik froze.

Reid asked tentatively, "Dad, what happened to Matthew?"

Ludwik let out a long sigh.

He didn't want to talk about it, but since Reid asked, he had no choice.

Since the relationship between Reid and Matthew had deteriorated, he thought if Reid knew everything that Matthew had done, he might feel moved.

Ludwik looked at Reid. "Reid, do you know what Matthew did for our family? He almost died eight years ago."

Reid was stunned.

Ludwik seemed to be in a trance as if he was recalling something. A moment later, he said, "Reid, do you know that when I was young, I was involved in wars?"
