All too late for his love

Chapter 222

As the noise reached his ears, Matthew sprinted to the staircase. Upon arrival, he beheld a horrifying scene: Wilhelmina lay at the foot of the stairs, drenched in blood, while Willow loomed above, her hand poised in midair.

It was crystal clear to Matthew that Willow had sent Wilhelmina tumbling. In a heartbeat, a ferocious anger consumed Matthew. It transformed him into a primal beast, craving vengeance against Willow.

But Wilhelmina's dire state demanded his immediate attention. Pushing his desire for retribution aside,

he hurried to Wilhelmina's side.

"Willa!"

Matthew cradled Wilhelmina gently in his arms. "Willa, are you alright? Let's get you to the hospital right away!"

"Matt, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the pregnancy. I wanted to surprise you when we got engaged, but I couldn't protect our baby.

"Matt, it's my fault. I shouldn't have interfered with Willow. If I hadn't, she wouldn't have lost control and

harmed our child!"

"A baby?" Matthew murmured, stunned. He hadn't realized Wilhelmina was carrying their child. "Matt, I know your memory wasn't the best before. During your recovery, I was there for you, and that's when we conceived our baby."

Matthew's eyes glazed over, lost in the haze of his past struggles. Though the details were fuzzy, certain

memories remained vivid.

He couldn't remember all the details of those years, but he remembered the most important things.

Wilhelmina had been his rock during those dark times. His love for her ran deep, and their intimacy during his recovery felt like the most natural thing in the world.

"Matt, this is our first child. I was so excited for him to come into this world, but my stupid mistakes have put him in danger. Matt, I hate myself for it. If anything happens to our baby, I don't know how I'll go on!" "Willa, I won't let anything happen to you or our baby! You hear me? You both gotta be okay!"

"Matt, it hurts... God, it hurts so much...'

Wilhelmina was in genuine agony A surge of warmth stained her pristine white dress red. Her body trembled violently, and she collapsed into Matthew's arms, completely limp.

"Willa!"

Matthew gathered Wilhelmina in his arms and bolted toward the door. Abruptly, he wheeled around, fixing a piercing stare on Willow at the top of the stairs.

Willow's heart clenched at the sight of him. She'd never seen him so menacing, not even during the car

incident.

His eyes blazed with a fury that seemed to swallow everything in its path. There was a hatred so potent it could annihilate all in its wake. Read

Willow knew that trying to plead her case to Matthew now would be pointless. What mattered most was replaceing evidence to clear her name.

In a store this size, there had to be

security cameras. Just as she was

about to head downstairs to inquire NO

about the surveillance footage,

Damon, Matthew's assistant, intercepted her.

He seized her hand firmly. "Ms.

Willow, you're coming with mem ing with Without waiting for her response, he

escorted her to Matthew's waiting car.

Meanwhile, the store staff carried on with their tasks and acted as if they hadn't seen a thing.

Damon took her to Matthew's car, where Matthew and Wilhelmina were already in.
