Chapter 1255

"But please promise me, no matter what, you cannot go see Matthew alone, no matter what he uses to tempt you. You cannot go."

When he said this, his eyes were full of tension and anxiety.

I couldn’t help but hug him and whispered, “Don’t worry, during this time I will stay at home obediently, waiting for you to rescue Johnathan. Of course, you must also prioritize your own safety.”

“He clearly came for you this time. Who knows what cunning means he will use to deal with you.”

“Um.”

Reynaldo stroked my long hair, and his warm embrace always made me feel at ease.

When I went back, the two children were still not asleep.

Essie was telling stories to Reynaldo.

Roddy showed me the airplane model he had built.

The four-year-old child had a particularly strong ability to work with his hands, and he built the airplane model vividly.

The family had a great time playing together for a while, and then Madisyn took them upstairs to go to bed.

I watched Essie’s cute little figure, feeling quite melancholy in my heart.

Fortunately, Essie’s condition remained stable during this period; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to know what to do if she had fallen ill at such a critical moment. After dealing with these matters, I really had to take her to see a doctor. The other day I asked Reynaldo if there had been any progress in the research on this disease by the medical team Roxafito.

Reynaldo said, “There hasn’t been any progress so far.”

Also, Essie’s illness is not the first case. After so many years, if a way to overcome this disease could have been researched, it would have been discovered long ago. Why would there only be the method of using umbilical cord blood left?

Thinking of this, I unconsciously stroked my flat stomach. If we could have another child with Reynaldo, how wonderful that would be.

Recently there have been quite a few troubling things, one after another, like big stones weighing on my heart. Even at night when I went to bed, I was a little out of breath.

When I woke up, it was past one in the middle of the night, and Reynaldo was not by my side. I rubbed my eyes and woke up a bit. Thinking that he might be working in the study, I got up and put on a robe to go find him.

As soon as I reached the study, I faintly heard the sound of him making a phone call. His voice lowered slightly, with a clear hint of coldness.

“You tell him, it’s best not to covet things that don’t belong to him. I was able to bring him down four years ago, and I can still kick him out of Freybourne four years later!”

“I wanted my life, huh? Then you tell him, I am always ready.”

I stood quietly outside the door, my heart pounding.

He was talking to Matthew’s people.

It seems that Johnathan’s situation was really tricky. Matthew wouldn’t even talk to him personally.

Was Matthew forcing Reynaldo to come to him?

Now he had Johnathan as a threat; Reynaldo’s situation was extremely passive.

At present, it seems that we can only go along with the conditions set by that Matthew, which is the most hateful part.

I didn’t go in to disturb him, but quietly returned to the bedroom. Just as I got back into bed, I couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. All that lingered in my mind were these troubling matters.

What Matthew asked for was fine if it was just some material things.
