Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 

Matthew felt that his idea was a bit absurd and decided to keep it to himself

Next, he saw Owen, wiping his eyes and sighing. As her uncle, I feel ashamed” 

Matthew put 

the photos back into the folder and pushed the tissue box on the coffee table toward Owen 

Having experienced the loss of loved ones himself, Matthew understood the feeling well

Although it might not have been the best timing to continue questioning, after some thought, Matthew asked, By the way, how did the girl pass away!” 

Owen paused wiping tears and took out a medical record and CT scan from the folder, handing them to Matthew 

Matthew took a look and asked, Pneumonia?“ 

Owen nodded. Their house is near a mine, where they’ve been extracting limestone for years. Many locals developed respiratory diseases as a result. Due to the girl’s initial drowning incident, coupled with her frail health, she contracted pneumonia. The couple couldn’t afford her. treatment, and since she wasn’t their biological child, they lacked emotional attachment. Eventually, they brought her back from the hospital, and took her to their back mountain, intending to let her fend for herself

Upon sensing something wrong, she tried to escape but ended up slipping and falling off the cliff.” 

Owen became agitated as he recounted the events, his eyes reddening with a hint t of hatred as if he wanted to go back to the village and seek 

revenge

Matthew asked, Is this what the couple claimed? Do they have any evidence? Without proof, this could just be their lies, and Miss Sarah might still be alive” 

Chen slammed his fist on the table

Impossible, she couldn’t have survived. The couple saw her tall and since they fear of getting into trouble, they immediately set fire to the bottom of the cliff that day. Now, all that’s left of her are some tattered clothes and this photo

She was bright and clever since childhood, a treasure to our family and I never imagined she would suffer like this. Ever since I found out about this, I can’t sleep at night, afraid of dreaming abour William. I’ve failed to protect his only child, I’ve let him down.” 

Matthew quickly reassured him. Mr. Owe don’t blaine yourself as you’ve done your best. Besides, Olivia is already deeply hurt. If you fall apart too, what will happen to her!” 

The mention of Olivia stabilized Owen’s emotions, he wiped his tears and nodded repeatedly 

Yes, Matthew, you’re right. I can’t afford to break downWith that, he looked earnestly at Matthew

Mathew, now that you know everything, there’s something I need to ask of you Olivia only knows Sarah died of illness but doesn’t know the suffering Sarah endured before her passing. I want you to keep this from her and to spare her from mare grief, let her believe that the couple who took care of Sarah were kind” 

Matthew agreed and showed his concem. Mr. Owen, don’t worry, I understand. You have to take care of yourself too 

After some pleasantries, the butler led Matthew upstairs to meet Olivia

The door to Olivia’s room was slightly ajar, and as Matthew approached, he caught a whiff of medicine, stronger than that of the last time when he visited. Pushing the door open, he saw Olivia lying on the bed, surrounded by medical equipment. A nurse was adjusting her hedding, but she remained motionless, staring blankly out the window

When she saw Matthew, Olivia weakly smiled. Mathew, you’re here, How’s your Grandma?” 

Matthew went forward to hold her hand, saying. “She’s doing well, Mrs. Anderson. Please take care of yourself in.” 

Yes, don’t worry about me. I’ll get better.” Olivia replied, but her eyes lacked any sparkle

Sering her like this, Matthew felt a pang of sadness and realized he needed to say something, otherwise Olivia would seem to lose hope anytime and leave with her granddaughter

Remembering something, Matthew placed a spare phone beside Olivia and said, I’ve been working nearby lately. Mrs. Anderson, If you anything, feel free to contact me anytime. Also, there are some apps installed in this phone that might help pass the time

iful need 

Matthew opened the audio app on the phone, and a soft and calm feinale voice began reading literature. Knowing that Olivia appreciated classical literature, Matthew chose something that would capture hier attention and hopefully distract her from hier sadness

Olivia graciously accepted the gesture and took the spare device

When Matthew went downstairs, Owen approached to thank him for comforting Olivia

Mr. Owens, don’t worry, Olivia will surely get better.” 

When Matthew Grant walked away, he turned back and saw Owen wiping his eyes with his sleeve. The builer on the side couldn’t help bur say that Owen had been crying quietly ever since he returned, afraid to let Olivia see, and could only cry in secret. To comfort Olivia, the entire Anderson family will gather in Kranson City in a few days to hold a grand memorial for the deceased Sarah
