Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 462 He Had Gone Missing

The wind outside of the window was getting stronger. The tree branches were swaying and creaking, forming countless dark wavering shadows outside the window. The clock on the wall was tick-tocking.

After a long while, Dolores's legs were a little numb, and felt that her body was slightly warm. Matthew carried her upstairs and put her in bed. She was feeling a little drowsy. In the morning, she felt a little cold when she got in the rain, but she didn't care about it.

But now, after she laid herself in the blankets, she still felt a little cold.

She could vaguely hear someone said, "Go to sleep."

She slightly opened her eyes and blurrily looked at him, asking concernedly, "What about you."

Dolores didn't get a response. She felt very sleepy, these few days she hadn't rest much, and today was particularly exhausting for her.

Her consciousness was gradually drained from her and soon, she fell into a deep slumber.

She was awoken by a loud thunderclap in the middle of the night.

The room was dark, and only a dim and warm yellow light was lit on the bedside table. The windows were shut tight, and from the curtains, she could vaguely see the water droplets on the glass, pouring from the heavy rain.

There was no one beside her. The bedsheets were neat, and only her side was creased. Matthew didn't lay down on the bed. She recalled how he behaved in the study, Dolores got out of bed, went downstairs, and pushed the study's door. There was no one inside, and the only sound she could hear was the dripping sound from the rain outside.

She searched the whole villa but couldn't replace him.

She desperately knocked on Boyce's door. It just so happened that Boyce was awoken by the thunderclap as well, so he immediately opened his door when he heard the knocking sound. Dolores stood at the door and asked anxiously, "He's gone missing."

Boyce furrowed his eyebrows, "What?"

Matthew had gone missing?

"Wait for me, I'll go and change." Boyce shut the door and went into his room.

Dolores stood in the living room and looked outside. Due to the rain, the sky was very dark, and she couldn't see even a sliver of light. She opened the door, and the cold wind instantly blew in. Dolores shivered in the cold breeze, wore her slippers, and went to the garage. There was one less car, so Matthew must have gone out.

Boyce came out and saw Dolores standing outside in thin clothes. He frowned and said, "Even though the weather is getting warm, but it's still cold if it rains. Go and wear something thicker, I'll replace him together with you."

Dolores turned around and looked at him, "I might know where he has gone to."

If she had an idea, that would be easier. Boyce urged her to change into thicker clothes. Dolores thought that she might have a fever as she was still feeling a little dizzy, but what's important now was to look for Matthew first.

She wore a jacket and changed her shoes. Then, Boyce held the umbrella and walked her to the car.

"Let's go to the Q cemetery."

Boyce tilted his head and looked at her, but he didn't say anything and drove in the direction of Q cemetery. The whole City B was engulfed in the heavy rain which was raging wildly.

A black figure stood on the green stoned steps in Q cemetery. The chrysanthemums on the ground and the scent of the rain were entangled together, making it looked even more rueful.

A man silently stood in front of the lonely tombstone, looking at the black-and-white photo on the stone tablet.

The first time he saw her was when Jayden brought her back home. At that time, he thought that this woman was the reason that he lost his mother. When the maid handed her a teacup, he blatantly knocked i to the ground and smashed the porcelain cup, splashing hot tea everywhere. She immediately ran over to him. However, instead of rebuking him for being unreasonable, she was checking he's hurt or not. At that time, he thought that this woman was very good at pretending.

She pretended to be concerned about him, pretended that she was nervous and caring like she was his own mother.

When he realized that she was actually his own biological mother, he couldn't take the step and address her, even though she was right in front of him.

He was angry with her, resented her for hiding this secret from him for so many years.

However, after he listened to what Kevin said, he knew that all his resentment, his anger, and his unacceptable attitude were all so minute in front of her sacrifice.

She was confined for six years. The best time and years of her life were mercilessly taken away from her. She gave up the ancestral business of the Forbis family just so that she could stay beside him. She could have selfishly left on her own, replace another person, and live peacefully for the rest of her life.

'If you wanted to stay with me so much, to the point where you can give up the entire Forbis family, why are you willing to leave me behind and leave now?'

'Victoria, you are as cruel to me as before."

His body dropped straight down, and his knees fell heavily on the rain-drenched ground.

He knelt in front of the tombstones, feeling that he had uncountable words stuck in his throat. He bent his body and bowed, touching his head onto the wet and cold ground, with the rain endlessly beating on his body.

The rain was getting heavier as if God was shedding tears for this scene.

The rain ran across his face, unable to differentiate if it's rainwater, or it's his heartache tears. Other than pain, there was a hint of hatred flashed through his cold eyes.

At this moment, Dolores came over with an umbrella and stood beside him, blocking all the dripping raindrops for him. She stood there silently and looked at Victoria's posthumous photo. She would always stand by his side.

She would replace out who did this to Victoria and punished them per the law!

'Mum, I promise you. I'll take good care of him and protect the two children.'

"Matthew, let's go back." Dolores squatted down and said in a soft voice.

His resolute face was wet from the rain. Her fingers brushed through his cold face, "We still have a lot of things to do next. We need to replace out who did this."

She knew that the only thing that could help him get out of this pain is hatred was to replace out the person who had harmed Victoria. Only then, he could pull himself together. He reached out, held her in his arms, and replied to her with a soft "hum".

The heavy rain ravaged the whole night and stopped in the morning. Matthew had left the house early. Dolores knew that he should have gone to investigate the car accident. She took care of the children's meal. The two of them had already grown up and were very obedient, so she didn't need to do much.

They would eat their own meal, wash their hands, and wipe their mouths themselves.

She hugged her daughter, then hugged her son. Then, she rubbed their heads and said, "You two are so well behaved. It's like you two have suddenly grown up all of a sudden." Samuel went to hug Dolores. Seeing that her brother hugged her mother, Simona also wanted to hug Dolores. The two children instantly tangled themselves around her waist. After Coral cleaned up the table, she came over and said, "It's time for you two to learn how to read and write. You need to prepare for elementary school."

"Go and study." Dolores let go of the two children.

Dolores looked at their tiny but upright back figure. She remembered how tiny they were when they were just born, and in a blink of an eye, they had all grew up. She stroked her belly. The life inside her belly was still small, and she couldn't even feel it if she didn't press against her belly. She lowered her head and spoke to the baby inside her belly, "You have to behave well too. Your grandmother had exchanged her life for yours."

She felt a bit feverish yesterday. However, she didn't want Matthew to be worried, so she had been holding on. Now that he's not at home, she told the chauffeur to prepare the car, brought a bodyguard with her, and went to the hospital.

Because of her identity, she went to the hospital first for a check-up. The same doctor who did her treatment conducted a thorough check-up for her. Her foetus was in good condition. However, Dolores had a mild fever, resulting in the foetus' heart beating slightly fast.

With her current condition, it would not be suitable for her to take medicines. The doctor told Dolores to go back and cool herself down with some physical cooling methods. Since it was just a mild fever, a physical cooling method would do.

"Keep it up. I didn't expect you would recover so fast." The doctor told Dolores before she left.

Dolores thanked the doctor.

When she came out from the hospital and was preparing to get into the car, she saw a familiar figure standing at the hospital park.

She stood there, waited for two seconds, and as the familiar figure turned around, she saw a face.

Her eyes narrowed. Matthew said that there was no problem with Jessica's examination result and that she was still serving her sentence, so why was she here? And why was she wearing patient clothing? What was going on here?
