Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1966

Chapter 1966 Guilt

Subsequently, Nat was sent to the hospital and stayed there for a week. By the time she was discharged, she was no longer willing to speak.

It wasn’t until Matteo’s rescue that she, at the sight of his grievous injuries, asked him, “Does it hurt?” From that day onward, he was the only one whom she was willing to talk to.

After Sebastian walked away, Matteo went to school to personally pick up the children, in particular Natalie. He even made an effort to collect her at her classroom. “Natalie Emmanuel, your cousin is here!”

Inside the empty classroom, the mute Natalie was indirectly neglected. After being arranged to sit in the last row, she cut a lonely figure waiting there. The pitiful sight of her was enough to tug at anyone’s heartstrings.

While standing outside the classroom, Matteo saw Natalie turn around in delight at the teacher’s call. Her beautiful eyes were sparkling as brightly as the stars, eliciting a smile from his face.

Soon, he was on his way out of school with the three children. Yoel asked, “Matt, is Vivi and the others still at home?”

Nina was curious. “Why are you asking about them?”

“She promised to take me to Warlock Church, where she’ll buy me desserts and toys. After all, my parents don’t allow me to eat them because they’re worried I’ll spoil my teeth.”

Much to Matteo’s surprise, even such obedient children had their own frustrations to deal with.

In response, Nina gave him a condescending look.

Observing the children through the rearview mirror, Matteo pursed his lips when he noticed Natalie, amidst the animated discussion between the other two, quietly fiddling with the silver whistle.

“Don’t worry. If they have left, I’ll take you there. Nat, do you want to come along?”

“Hmm?”

Just as expected, Natalie was particularly sensitive to him.

She was very similar to Ian back in the day, where he would block out whoever or whatever he resented. Furthermore, her condition seemed to be more serious than his.

Matteo suggested, “Shall we visit Warlock Church? I’ll be taking you there.”

Natalie agreed obediently, “Okay.”

As she looked at him with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, he could see the delight brimming in them.

Matteo, briefly jolted by the sight, felt a stinging pain in his heart once he returned his attention to the front.

Upon their arrival at Oceanic Estate twenty minutes later, Ian and the others were really gone. Ian had mentioned that he had an upcoming exam, while Vivian and Kurt joined him since they were heading the same way.

That night, Matteo brought the three children out by himself.

Warlock Church was indeed bustling with activity. He remembered enjoying himself a lot when his mother brought him and his siblings there during their childhood.

Subsequently, Matteo led them to a lively street.
