His love

Matthew’s chest felt heavy, and he suffocated from the intense emotions. He got into his car and stepped on the accelerator. However, he soon realized that he had no idea which hospital Zayn brought Willow to. 

He couldn’t comb through the various hospitals in Havenpoint. That would be akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Instead, he quickly called his assistant Damon. “Look into the hospital that Willow was sent 

to!” 

With that, he hung up. The efficient Damon called back with the information not long after Matthew absentmindedly drove around the streets. 

Willow had been transported to the same hospital as Wilhelmina, and she was currently in the ER. 

Sick from being worried, Matthew rushed to the hospital in no time. When he arrived, he belatedly realized that he had hung up on Damon before Damon could inform him about the location of the ER. It would be difficult for him to check the multiple ERS in the hospital, 

Just when he was about to call Damon, he overheard a conversation among a few patients who passed him by. 

One said, “I pity that girl! She bled so much!” 

“Yeah. She was badly hurt. Poor girl took her last breath before the doctors could save her.” 

“I can’t understand girls these days. Why would she cut her wrist at this young age? Her parents would be devastated.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Kids these days are worrisome.” 

“Say, did she take her life over love troubles? I glanced at her when they wheeled her in. Her clothes were in tatters.” 

“Oh, she did not kill herself over love. She must have failed to get over a sexual assault!” 

Matthew’s ears buzzed. He could not hear what the patients said after that. All he could think of was Willow’s death. 

Without warning, he charged at them and grabbed the collar of one of the men. “Who died? Where is she now?” 

The man, shocked by his attack, did not immediately recognize Matthew Mayer as he rarely watched the news. Despite feeling angry at Matthew’s treatment of him, he sympathized with Matthew as he had mistaken the guy for the family of the dead girl. 

He replied truthfully, “I do not know her name. She was recently transported to the hospital, and she tried to cut her wrist.” 

“She’s dead now. I think she must be at the morgue!” 

Matthew let go of the man stiffly. At that moment, he seemed to have lost all his energy. His towering 

build was hunched.

He thought, “Willow is dead… I have forced her to her death…” 

Clutching his chest, he felt as though a knife was plunging repeatedly into his heart. He could not breathe. 

due to the intense pain. 

Still, he wanted to pay Willow a visit at the morgue. He was confused by his stubbornness. Did it stem from guilt or other emotions? 

He had no answer. One thing was clear: he had made Willow’s life hell, and in return, he put himself through hell as well. 

The morgue was in the basement. The girl who died from cutting her wrist had just been wheeled into the morgue. The doctor was still around. 

Matthew charged at the doctor like a madman. “Where’s Willow? Where’s that girl who cut her wrist?” 

The doctor recognized Matthew. Though he did not manage to catch the name of the girl, he knew that Matthew was looking for the suicide victim.
