The relationship between Matthew and Saoirse was simply too complicated.
Matthew wasn't exactly innocent in the matter, but Selina couldn't bring herself to blMatthew for it. She could only accept it as God's test for her.
"Natalie, you too think that I should forgive Matthew, right? You also think that I should continue to be with Matthew, right?" Selina whispered.
"Matthew is a decent man, and you both love each other. But that woman is really pitiful," Natalie said. After Tobias told her the whole story, although she still sided with Selina, but she felt sorry for Saoirse too. Selina bit her lip and said, "You're right, she's indeed quite pitiful. If she is a cruel woman who used tricks to get together with Matthew, I suppose that Matthew would be able to cut all ties with her immediately. But in fact, it's not like that. She's pitiful, and Matthew thinks so as well, that's why Matthew didn't forcefully cut ties with her." Selina continued, "Natalie, I think Matthew is being kind to her only because he feels sorry for her." Natalie was stunned for a bit.
After a while, she said, "But he's just doing it out of pity, and not love right?" Selina nodded, "Right." Natalie's sighed slightly with relief, "Selina, if Matthew didn't pity her at all, and heartlessly forced her to leave, would you still think that he was a good person? If Matthew was like that, do you think that he's going to be the person that you're looking for?" Selina's breathing stopped for a moment.
"Natalie, I understand," Selina said with a bitter smile on her face.
If Matthew was heartless and cold-blooded, she wouldn't be able to entrust him with her own future would she? She would surely be worried and doubt herself! And it was precisely because this man was such a caring person, hence the outcof the whole matter becslightly awkward.
"Both you and Matthew still have a long way to go. So as long as you're able to overcsuch hardships, nothing can stand in the way of your relationship with Matthew," Natalie said comfortingly.
"I understand, Natalie. If I am not able to think it through, I wouldn't be here with you now." Natalie was touched, "You've really grown a lot. In fact, when Tobias toldabout it, I couldn't believe that you would take care of Matthew in the hospital. If it was the you in the past, you would have kicked up a huge fuss over it." "People will eventually grow up, not to mention that I'm already at this age," Selina sighed, "Right?" Upon hearing Selina's words, Natalie sounded more emotional as she said, "Selina, sometimes when I think about it, I still can't believe it. I feel as if it was just yesterday that we were both still young girls. How could we have grown up so much in such a short time?" "Yeah," Selina sighed along, "I was only nineteen years old when I met you, but look at us now." "Treally flies." As Natalie and Selina chatted, Tobias was also in Matthew's ward.
Men rarely spoke as emotionally as women. They were rather more straightforward in their conversation. "Matthew, are you feeling better now?" Tobias asked.

One is my brother, and the other is my sister," Tobias paused for a moment before changing the topic. "Matthew, how is it with that woman?" The woman Tobias was referring to was surely Saoirse.
At the mention of Saoirse, Matthew's expression beca little complicated.
After a long time, he said, "Let's just take it one step at a time. I'll wait for five months later." Five months was the end of the promised period between him and Saoirse.
Tobias had heard about this as well previously, so he knew what Matthew meant when he mentioned five months.
However, Tobias was still a little worried, "What if she won't leave after five months?" Matthew's eyes were slightly gloomy, "We had both signed an agreement. I feel guilty towards Saoirse, but at the stI am guilty towards Selina as well. Although this is complicated now, at least it won't be for a long time. I will surely settle this matter in five months, I guarantee it." Upon hearing Matthew's words, Tobias felt more at ease.
"That's good." Tpassed quickly and in the blink of an eye, it was already Sunday.
It was the day for Yesseca to go for her medical check up.
That morning, she dressed up nicely and left hearly.
Before she left, Lothar asked where Yesseca was heading to. Yesseca just smiled, "I'll tell you when I return." If Yesseca was being honest, she wasn't too confident about her full recovery either. She wasn't sure how her body would be faring. Thus, she didn't want to tell Lothar about it too early because the probability of success was too low.
"There aren't any problems, right?" Lothar was a little worried.
"I'll be fine. I'm just going out to look for a job." Only then did Lothar feel more relaxed.
"Do you wantto go with you?" "There's no need for that," Yesseca immediately refused, "If I need my brother to accompanyever when looking for a job, what would others think of me?" Lothar thought to himself that it was somehow true as well.
"You should be careful then." After Yesseca left, Lothar sat at hand looked up at the ceiling with a depressed face.
Last time, because of Selina, he offended his supervisor, and now he was jobless.
Lothar was worried that he wouldn't get employed too.
Perhaps he should just go out for a stroll and look around? Lothar stood up.
Just then, he heard a series of rapid knocks on the door.
Lothar thought that Yesseca had returned and immediately went over to open the door.
However, when he saw the person standing at the door, Lothar's face instantly went pale! The person who'd showed up in front of him was Reid.
Lothar felt a chill ran down his spine.
How did Reid find him?
He soon figured it out. Reid's men had chere during last visit, so he supposed Reid had known where he was staying at for a very long time. Unlike Lothar, who was anxious, Reid looked calm. It was as if the predator was teasing its prey, tormenting it. "M-Mr. Perry," Lothar stammered.

After all, Reid was once Lothar's benefactor. When he saw Reid, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and awkward. "Are you not going to welcme in?" Reid asked. Lothar's heart skipped a beat.
"C-cin," Lothar said.
Reid walked into Lothar's house. He took a look around and smirked, "How wrecked." Lothar poured Reid a cup of tea.
His thoughts were very simple. It would be best if he could make peace with Reid.
"Mr. Perry, please have stea," Lothar tried to be as welcoming as possible.
Reid took the tea.
A beam flashed in Lothar's eyes.
Since Reid took over the tea cup, it seemed that it would be possible.
He spoke again, "Mr. Perry, I know that I owe you 200,000 dollars, but I you can rest assured that I wille return it to you including the interest." én.swReid simply chuckled.
"Do I look like I'm short of merely 200,000 dollars?" X
