Chapter 457

My eyes widened as I grabbed his hand that was reaching out for me. "Matthew, I'm here. Don't be

scared. You'll be fine. Nothing will happen to you."

Matthew used his last strength to smile at me." Wanda, my feelings for you aren't just a crush. I

really love you, but it seems like we're not fated to be together. If we meet again in another life, don't

fall in love with Theo. Let me take care of you, okay?"

I shook my head hard. "Your life isn't ending. Stop that nonsense about another life. You'll be fine.

Didn’t you tell me that you'll get revenge for me? I need you. I need you, Matthew."

Matthew spat out a mouthful of blood and said in a rushed voice, "Wanda, you must live a long life.

Live a good life for me. And... I love you."

As he said those words, the cardiac monitor sounded its alarm.

"No!" I hissed. I was overwhelmed by fright and grief.

I passed out, and when I woke up again, I saw a blinding white ceiling. I looked over to Theo and

Quinn who were standing by my bed. "Where is he?"

Theo said indifferently, "He’s gone."

He was gone...

It was just two simple words, but it meant that a life was gone.

Why was I constantly losing people who were important to me, people I loved, and people who

loved me? They died in front of my eyes again and again. Yet all I could do was watch without doing

anything.

Why was I still alive?

The person who was supposed to die was clearly me. I t was my incompetence and my selfishness

that killed them, so why was I still alive?

Quinn's face looked as cold as Theo's, and hatred started to rise up from my chest. I sat up from the

bed and looked at her coldly. "Quinn, why are you still alive?"

After a pause, I continued, "You're the one who's supposed to die. I regret pushing you away. I

should've let him run you over. I would've rather you died than him."

Quinn was shocked by the intensity of the hatred in m y eyes, and her face instantly turned pale.

"What are you talking about, Wanda?"

"Did I say anything wrong?" I clenched the blanket. " Wasn't telling Nancy about the truth back then

really just a ploy so that she would kill herself? Nancy's death became the last straw that completely

pushed Matthew over the edge and he's dead now. You must b e so happy that your plan exceeded

your expectations, right? Congratulations, Zimmer Corporations is now

yours.”

"What are you talking about?" Quinn looked at me with disbelief.

"A family of three died because of you. You're undoubtedly the murderer who caused all of this," I

said fiercely through clenched teeth.

"Wanda, I advise you to watch what you say!" Quinn's face turned red with anger. "I won't take what

you just said personally for Theo's sake, but if you ever say anything like that again, I won't hold

back."

"Don't be shy, let's see what you got!" I grabbed the vase that was on the bedside table and threw it

at her. "If you have so much time to talk to me about this, why don't you put that energy into

worrying about the Zimmers' haunting you in the middle of the night and killing you?"

The vase crashed into her leg, and she cried out in pain for a while before she angrily said, "You

crazy woman! You're just as crazy as Matthew!"

"You don't deserve to mention his name!" I gritted my teeth and looked at her. "If I ever hear you say

his name again, I'll rip off your lips."

Quinn got so angry that her chest started hurting. She clutched her chest and said in a cold voice,

"Why are you acting like your husband just died? Is it because you love him? If you have feelings

for other men when you're the daughter-in-law of the Grant family, I think it's better if you move out

of the house."

I sneered. "Only a slut like you would think everything is problematic. Get out right now."
