Her silence, indeed, caused Samuel to become even angrier.
He grabbed Matilda by the wrist, lifted her off the ground and dragged her away.
The nurse quickly came forward to stop.
“What are you doing, Sir?” The nurse stopped him, frowning reproachfully, and said, “Did you know she have...”
“I'm fine!” Matilda hurried to interrupt the nurse. “Thank you, but I'm really fine.”
Samuel took a cold glance at that nurse, dragging Matilda out from the hospital.
Putting Matilda in the car, before she could sit steady, he stepped on the accelerator and the car started with a roar.
Matilda turned to stare out the window, trying to suppress the discomfort that was welling up in her body.
The car drove quickly to a villa on the outskirts of the city.
Samuel took the lead to get off the car and walked to the villa without saying a word.
Matilda hesitated for a while, but still followed with some skepticism.
She still held a trace of hope and felt Samuel could not really find Rebecca!
They came nearer and nearer to the garden, where came the soft voice of the child.
Matilda was stunned. Not waiting for Samuel to speak, she rushed to the place where the voice came.
Rebecca her daughter was here!
At the edge of the pool, she was playing with a doll with a young maid.
“Rebecca...” Matilda's mind went blank, with her heart stalling in her chest.
Rebecca heard the voice, raised her head and then showed a bright smile on her little face.
“Mommy!” She dropped the doll and ran over to Matilda on her short legs.
Matilda crouched down and stretched out her arms to catch her.
But Samuel was faster than her. Before she caught Matilda, he held Rebecca into arms.
Matilda's heart tightened and her face darkened.
“Samuel, give Rebecca to me!”
