Chapter 945
"Why did you give up on him?"
| suddenly broke down. "What right did you have to give up on him? As long as there was a little ray of hope, you
shouldn't have given up on him. Even if there wasn't any hope at all, you should've at least waited until | could
take a look at him!"
Matthew cast his eyes down, his expression remaining calm. "He was already deformed. Even if he survived, he
would only becyour burden. That would've been equally painful for him."
"He's my child!" | covered my chest, finding it hard to breathe through the pain in my chest.
"Besides, | was the one who didn't protect him well and caused him to get hurt. How could | blhim?"
Matthew looked atwith a coldness in his eyes. "I told Theo these things so he would let you go. He needs a
child of his own but I don't. If you like children, then when Liz delivers, I'll give her enough money to send her
back to France and let you raise the child. He'll grow up with Munchkin and you'll be very content. You'll be much

I looked at his calm demeanor as he said those words
and felt fear in my heart. How did he beclike this? How selfish, scary, and frightening!
Knowing that I could not conceive anymore, he wanted Liz to leave the country after she gave birth and let me
raise her child. With that, he would have both a lover and a child.
He only put himself first and did not put himself in other people's shoes.
"You're too selfish, Matthew." | looked at him with a face full of disappointment. "You only think about yourself.
What about Liz? She loves you so much, yet you're hurting her so unscrupulously.
Do you not have a conscience at all?"
Matthew sneered. "Why should | care about the feelings of someone | don't even care about?"
We were on a different page. | did not want to change his mind, nor did | have the ability to.
| took a deep breath and got up from the bench. "You obliterated my child’s hope of surviving, and Theo
destroyed your career. This is absolutely fair. And for saving my life, I'll find the chance to repay you."
Having said that, | was about to leave but Matthew grabbed my arm, refusing to letleave.
"There's nothing left to say between us." | looked at him with an icy gaze.
"Can you sit withfor a while more?"
He pulledback to the bench again. "I know you hate me. Maybe you don't even want to see me, but I'm just
too lonely. On the night of the eve of National Day, I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a very long
tand looked out at the lights of various houses. | felt so lonely that it was almost too much forto bear.
I've spent the last few years like this. | don't want to think of the past, but I still can't stop myself from dreaming
about my parents. | dreamed that on the night of the eve of National Day, there was a sumptuous meal on the
table. My parents and | were sitting at the table and the sound of laughter lingered i n my ears."

After a pause, he continued, "Every t| woke up to a n empty house, a piece of my heart would go missing.
During moments like these, | would feel a strong urge t o see you. | would drive to your place, stand outside to
look at the brightly lit villa, and imagine what you were doing. Sometimes, | even felt the urge to go in and take
you away."
His voice was filled with sorrow, and his words could make one's heart ache. However, | did not say anything. |
would not.
| glanced indifferently at him. "It's getting late. | should go.”
He nodded and did not stopanymore. He merely said, "Wanda, has it ever crossed your mind that Munchkin
is not Theo's son? No matter how much he loves you, he has a whole family behind him to think about. He needs
a child, an heir who carries the Grants ' bloodline. If Quinn knows that you can't give him a
child, do you think she'll allow you to stay with him?"
I laughed out of anger. "Matthew Zimmer, you're really great at adding salt to a person’s wound. You know the
best things to say to bring pain to other people. But that's just your own opinion. Everyone's different. Not
everyone is so selfish and inconsiderate to divorce their wife just because she can't conceive and then find «
someone they don’t even love just so she can give him a child." 1
