Chapter 140

Kelly took a deep breath and forced a gentle smile onto her face.

“Your name’s Matty, right? When did you get here?”

Matty answered plainly, “A while ago. I heard everything you said. So it was you who told Theo that we didn’t let the doctor save him? And that Theo’s daddy was lying to him? I guess I’ll have to ask Theo’s dad why he would lie.”

“No, wait!” Kelly reached out quickly, blocking Matty’s path. “Matty, you misheard. I didn’t say that.”

Matty tilted his head, studying her, then glanced at Theo.

“She didn’t say that? Then what did she say to you? Didn’t she tell you that Sharon and I were trying to save you, and that she was the one who kept stopping us and almost got you killed?”

Kelly’s face tightened. She opened her mouth to speak, but Theo interrupted, his voice bursting with fury.

“You’re lying! You two were the ones who stopped the doctors! You didn’t let them save me!”

Matty replied calmly, “So the sun really rises in the west now? Pigs have grown wings and learned to climb trees, huh?”

Theo was stunned.
