Chapter 574

Linus returned to his car and lit a cigarette.

He was extremely nervous before his first meeting with Matthew, but it turned out differently than expected.

The long-lost sense of familiarity returned, but it was unlike the fleeting and intangible feeling one would experience when dreaming. Linus felt as though he had met Lucy a long time ago.

Linus' entire focus was on Matthew's wife, Lucy.
