Chapter 459: Chapter 459

Kevin was at her side, also crying.

“He suffered so much.”

Matthew was standing in the doorway. Without entering the room, he lowered his head. His emotion was hidden behind the hair on his forehead.

“I remember when I was twenty years old, something happened to our family. Our parents passed away and I was put in jail. She was alone, looking for help, trying to rescue me…” Kevin sobbed.

“At the time I didn’t know until months later. To rescue me from jail, she made a deal with a woman named Jolene Harris. She gave Victoria a large amount of money to pay off the debt we owed so I wouldn’t have to go to jail. So, my sister left White City with Jolene Harris.

The woman named Jolene Harris did not love her husband and had a secret lover. However, she felt sorry for her husband, so she sent Victoria to him in the hope that they would fall in love with each other…later, Victoria became pregnant. Jolene Harris said she would give the child a decent identity, so she announced to the public that she was pregnant.

As soon as the baby was born, Jolene Harris began to raise it in the name of her own son. Unfortunately, Jeffery Harris discovered the relationship between Jayden and Victoria. He thought it was Victoria who had seduced Jayden during Jolene Harris’ pregnancy…at the time, Terrell Harris was still in his position, quite powerful. Jeffery Harris had nothing to fear, so he kidnapped Victoria and forced her to call Jayden, telling him she wanted to break up with him. Victoria was unwilling to do so. Jeffrey Harris found out that she used to have a beloved man before, so he also kidnapped Nathan White, threatening Victoria with him….

She could do nothing but call Jayden, telling him that she was still in love with Nathan and wanted to leave. In fact, she didn’t leave town. She was locked up by Jeffery Harris. He locked her up for six years…

It was Jolene Harris who discovered that she had not left with Nathan White, but was locked up by Jeffery Harris. As a result, Jolene Harris forced her brother to release Victoria. By this time, six years had passed. Jeffery Harris believed that since Victoria and Jayden had been separated for so many years, they should not love each other. Besides, Jolene Harris and Jayden’s son had grown up, so he agreed to let her go…..

It was six years, over two thousand days and nights. When she was locked up, she had just given birth to the baby. At that time, she was also injured, so she couldn’t give birth again. In addition, she suffered from a mental disorder. She did not get better until a year later.

Later, to be by her son’s side, she married Jayden. However, Jeffery Harris disagreed. He threatened to exchange her marriage with his family’s ancestral craft. I don’t know how that Jolene Harris died.”

Red-eyed, she looked at Matthew, who was standing in the doorway. He continued as he cried, “The woman lying here under the white cloth is your birth mother.”

Then she emphasized, “Your birth mother who carried you for nine months and endured the severe labor pains.”

Matthew still did not look up, his body trembling weakly.

Jayden stood up. His cloudy eyes had lost their color. He carefully lowered Victoria’s hand with reluctance and concern. Finally, he released her. Looking at Kevin, he said, “Let’s go outside and let him see her one last time. You should talk to her…she’s been waiting for you all her life…”

Kevin wiped his eyes and walked out of the room first. On the other side of the door, Boyce stood frozen in the hallway. He had heard what Kevin had just said, feeling quite surprised. He hadn’t expected Victoria to turn out to be Matthew’s biological mother.

At that moment, he was worried, wondering what Matthew should do.

How would he cope with the situation?

Jayden walked past Matthew and stopped. Raising his hand, he placed it tightly on Matthew’s shoulder. “Don’t let him leave with regret.”

After that, he left the room, closing the door. As soon as the door was closed, the outside was cut off as well as the air.

The entire ward was silent, without a sound.

Faintly, Matthew trembled more than before. Slowly, he leaned against the wall, sliding to the floor.

His arms were on his knees. With his head between his arms, his expression didn’t show. No one could see that she was crying.

Tears ran down her cheeks, dripping onto the floor.

At that moment, she didn’t even dare to glance at him.

When Dolores woke up, her nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant. She discovered that she was in a patient gown. She remembered that Victoria had protected her from danger so that she would be safe and sound. Victoria was seriously injured at the time. Dolores wondered if she was okay now.

She lifted the quilt, feeling sharp pains in her legs. She pulled up her pants and checked that her legs were injured. During the car accident, her legs were trapped somewhere and could not move.

He assumed they might have been injured at the time, but the doctor should have attended to them.

He slowly walked out of the room. Since there was no one in the operating room, he stopped a nurse who was passing by. “Excuse me, miss, how is the patient from the car accident now?”

The nurse glanced at her and pointed in the other direction down the hall. “She’s in that room.”

“Thank you, miss.” Dolores breathed a sigh of relief. Since Victoria was in the ward, she thought she must be okay by now. Feeling relieved, she made her way to the living room and saw Boyce standing there.

She quickened her steps.

“Hi, Boyce.”

Boyce came over to help her up. “Are you okay?” She shook her head and asked, “Did you come here?” Boyce hummed softly in response.

Dolores sensed something was wrong from his voice and looked at him.

“You’ve known, haven’t you?” she asked him.

“Known what?”

“Victoria Forbis is Matthew’s birth mother.”

A bad feeling rose in Dolores’ heart. Instinctively, she grabbed Boyce’s arm. “Does she know?”

Boyce nodded.

Meanwhile, Dolores breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t think it was a bad thing. Even if Matthew had a hard time dealing with it, his knot had to be untied sooner or later.

Besides, Victoria was hurt and needed someone to go with her.

“I’ll go check on her.” Dolores headed for the living room.

Boyce stopped her. “Matthew’s in there.” His voice was rather hoarse. “The doctor failed to save Victoria. Right now, he must need some time alone.”

Dolores gaped. “What… What did you say?” Boyce’s words echoed in her mind.

Suddenly, a wave of sharp pains assaulted her, making her body writhe all over and her stomach clench. She felt very sick all of a sudden.

She covered her chest, squatting on the floor.

Boyce was startled. Holding her by the shoulders, he asked, “Are you all right? Do you need a doctor?”

Dolores shook her head. “I feel so sorry for you. What should you do?”

She looked up to stare at the closed door, tears in her eyes. She asked between sobs, “Boyce, what should I do?”
