Saoirse didn't speak. Her heart was full of emotions.
After a long while, she said, "William, if anything happened to Miss Whitlock, and you had to give up your life to save her. Are you willing to do that?"
Matthew said without hesitation, "Yes."
"Wouldn't you have any hesitation?"
"No, I wouldn't."
Saoirse didn't say anything.
At that moment, she seemed to have realized something.
The next day, Selina received a call from Matthew.
She was still asleep at the time.
She had been in bed for almost the whole day.
After she'd returned from Reid's place, she had immediately laid on her bed.
She fell asleep without even having dinner that night.
And she had a dream.
She dreamt of Lothar.
Everything she dreamt about was about what had happened after she and Lothar met.
However, towards the end of her dream, the scenes suddenly changed.
Lothar's face seemed to have changed, and the sunshine and joy on his face no longer existed. His eyes turned cold, just like Reid's.
He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to strangle Selina.
Then, a sudden ringtone could be heard.
Selina woke up with a jump.
Her entire body was drenched in sweat.
After she took a few deep breaths, she finally calmed down.
However, the person on the other end of the phone had already hung up.
Selina picked up her phone.
The phone call was from Matthew. She was just about to call back, but he had already called again.
"Selina," Matthew sounded cheerful.
"Yes?"
"I'll be coming back in a few days."
Selina was stunned, "That's fast."
"Yes," Matthew said, "Saoirse has already completed the operation and the operation was very successful. It's also time for me to come back."
Selina looked puzzled.
"Saoirse's operation was done."
"That was so fast!"
Previously, when the doctor had said that Saoirse could not be saved, Matthew had decided to accompany her to Germany to spend the last few moments of her life there with Selina's approval. She did not expect that Saoirse would be cured so fast.
That was almost unbelievable.
Just like how she had thought of her friendship with Lothar as the most precious one she had in this world. However, she had never expected that everything was a setup.
It was unbelievable.
Everything in this world was too unpredictable.
Selina became even more absent-minded.
"Young lady, are you so happy that you have forgotten how to speak?" Matthew said as his tone rose.
Selina muttered, "Come back, I'll wait for you."
Matthew felt that something was wrong with Selina's tone, but he thought it was because she was too happy when he said that he would be returning soon.
He said slowly in a low voice, "Wait for me, Selina.
I haven't seen you in a long time. I miss you so much."
A strong sense of longing could be felt from the last sentence he said.
Selina was taken aback.
"Me too," she instinctively said.
On the other end of the line, Matthew smiled, "Then wait for me to come back."
After they hung up the phone, Selina sat on the bed for a long time before she got up.
