Marrying

Meanwhile, people outside were also anxious. Everyone had seen it for so many days. Matthew led his men to search up and down the mountain, They had searched the whole mountain several times.

In the end, a corpse was

Upon seeing Matthew in such a state, Sophia was very anxious. She brought Hugo to the door and knocked. “Matthew Matthew! Open the door! If you collapse, what will happen to your child? Matthew, I know you’re upset, but no matter how upset you are, you can’t ruin yourself. Come out quickly!”

No matter what Sophia said outside, Matthew refused to open the door. He selectively isolated all the voices outside and immersed himself in his memories with Valerie.

Sophia was anxious. “Kick the door open!” she told Leon.

No matter what, she could not watch Matthew degenerate like that.

Hugo started crying just as Leon and the others were about to force open the door.

was unknown if they w

were telepathic, Hugo was sobbing uncontrollably outside the door. He was heart–wrenching, and no one could coax him.

Upon seeing Hugo’s voice was hoarse from crying. Sophia was anxious. She patted the door and said, “Matthew, come out Hugo is about to faint from crying! Valerie isn’t here. Don’t you even want Hugo?”

“Valerie isn’t here. Don’t you even want the child?” said Sophia.

Matthew heard Sophia’s voice and Hugo’s cries. Only then did he relax a little.

He stood up and walked to the door. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The door was opened with a click.

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Matthew come out.

When Hugo saw Matthew, he opened his arms, and Matthew held Hugo in his arms instantly. It was strange Hugo stopped crying immediately when he was in Matthew’s arms.

Hugo sobbed with tears in his e

his eyes. No one

could bear

to look at his pitiful appearance.

Matthew had not slept for a few days, and his hair had turned white again. Upon seeing Matthew become like that, Sophia’s eyes could not help but turn red. “Matthew, you will collapse if you continue like this. Hugo is still so little. We all have to rely on you! Good boy, please cheer up. Otherwise, what will happen to us, the old and the young!”

Hugo hugged Matthew’s neck and leaned his head against Matthew’s chest. His small hands held onto Matthew tightly, afraid that Matthew would disappear.

His little body was still twitching. Matthew calmed down and regained his rationality when he sensed little Hugo in his arms.

Taking a deep breath, Matthew said, “Grandma, I’ll leave Hugo to you. I believe you can raise him. I will also put all the Noria Group’s assets in Hugo’s name. When Charles gets better, I’ll let him assist Hugo. I’ll also promote a few reliable youngsters of the Grant family. Everything in the Grant family goes to Hugo. I’m sorry, Grandma. I… I want to be with Valerie. I want to accompany her!”

Matthew’s words immediately stunned Sophia. She could not help but cry.

“You untilul child! Are you going to entrust your son to me before you die? I’m telling you, I won’t do it! You must personally teach Hugo, or I won’t forgive you!”

Sophia patted Matthew, and her muddy eyes filled with tears.

Sophia had brought up Matthew with great difficulty. She never thought that Matthew would lose his courage to live. Sophia could not accept it. She could never promise.

However, Matthew felt he would not have the courage to face reality alone if Valerie was no longer around. He would have to follow Valerie. There was nothing in the world that he was reluctant to part with.

Matthew’s eyes had already lost their luster,

10:23 AM c

Sophia held his hand. “Look, how hard it was for the Grant family to build the family business! Valerie’s whereabouts are unknown. What can a corpse prove? Do you believe she’s gone just like that? We’ve got to hold on to every hope, haven’t we? The results are not out yet. How can you be sure Valerie is gone? You still have Hugo, who is so young. Valerie will never leave you and Hugo! Take my word for it, and pull yourself together!“

Sophia said that to encourage herself, too. She loved Valerie, her granddaughter–in–law, and did not want anything to happen to Valerie.

However, Matthew never spoke whatever she said, which made Sophia extremely anxious. She wished she could hammer Matthew awake and let him see there were many other things to do besides women in the world.

Hugo was so young. How could Hugo leave his family? An old woman like Sophia could not bear the pain of losing her family again.

However, Matthew didn’t say anything no matter what she said.

Matthew was almost completely disheartened. How could there be anyone who looked exactly like Valerie in the world?

He had lost all his hope of continuing the search. He was vaguely certain the female corpse was Valerie. If that was the case, he had no motivation to live anymore.

Sophia was about to cry when she saw Matthew say nothing

The Grant family’s servants were also anxious Matthew’s appearance made them panic.

Everyone knew there would be no hope for the Grant family if Matthew were gone. Sophia was so angry that she almost fainted at that moment. But then, an ear–piercing ringtone suddenly sounded. Matthew was in a daze and suddenly widened his eyes.

Usually, Matthew’s men would only call him when they found something important.

Matthew panicked and quickly took out his phone.

“Mr. Grant, we found something new. We found Owen, He’s still alive!”

It made Matthew’s eyes light up. Owen and Valerie have disappeared together. If Owen is still alive, Valerie must be alive, tool thought Matthew,

“Wait, I’ll be right there!”

Matthew hung up the phone with a hint of joy on his face. Grandma, they found something new. I’ll go there at once!”

Matthew was shocked and rushed to the scene. Sophia was uneasy and thought. They found something new! What is it They have been searching for four to five days, but there is still no trace of Valerie. What if they can’t find her?

Sophia was scared. What if Valerie was gone in the end? What would Matthew do thent

Matthew looked like he had lost his soul just now. Valerie’s whereabouts touched the hearts of all of them.

Sophia was frightened. If Valerie were gone, the Grant family would be gone, too. Poor Hugo. He is so young. What will he do if he loses his parents?‘ thought Sophia.

They rushed to the river. Owen was lucky. After being pushed down into the sea, he carried the driftwood and floated in the water for a few days. His body was covered in leaves and withered grass. There was also a lot of rotten flesh on his body, but he miraculously survived.

When Matthew rushed to the scene, he saw Owen’s whole body had turned white from soaking in the water. His wounds had festered, and maggots had grown out!
