When Love Comes Late
Chapter 2159

Upon hearing this, Cordell and Neville exchanged a look of confusion.

It seemed improbable that Matthew had lost his memory.

After all, as he had just affirmed, he remembered everyone in Seamarsh who held any significance to him.

Yet, if his memory was indeed intact, why was Stella treated so differently? She alone bore the brunt of his altered demeanor.

Before Cordell could articulate his thoughts, Matthew dismissed them curtly.

“If there’s nothing more, I’d suggest you leave.

I have work that demands my attention.

”

Neville, puzzled and reluctant, made to question further but was swiftly silenced by Cordell.

A shake of the head and a meaningful glance from Cordell made it clear-it was futile to pursue the matter further.

Resigned, Neville had no option but to relent.

“Alright then.

Take care.

We’re leaving,” Cordell announced, and the two of them exited the office.

As they stepped out, the weight of their unspoken questions hung heavy on Neville.

He couldn’t resist voicing his frustration.

“Why did you stop me? We should dig deeper.

”

Then he turned around and was about to push the door.

Cordell swiftly intercepted him.

“Do you really think he’ll reveal what he’s so determined to hide?”

Neville’s resolve faltered instantly.

Without another word, Cordell walked away, with Neville trailing behind.

After a moment, Neville ventured, “So, you sense something is off with him too, right?”

Silent, Cordell acquiesced to Neville’s inquiry with a nod.

Neville muttered to himself, “But he remembers everyone and everything.

It doesn’t seem like he’s lost his memory at all.

What went wrong? Why did he suddenly want to divorce Stella?”

A new thought struck him.

“Could he be under some threat and trying to protect her?”

As they stepped into the elevator, Cordell, feeling somewhat resigned, suggested, “Instead of letting your imagination run wild, you might as well investigate the private hospital he stayed at in Sothrea and see if you can unearth any leads.

”

Enlightened by the suggestion, Neville responded with a spark of determination, “You’re so smart.

I’m on it.

”

Meanwhile, Lindsay was in her apartment.

Her phone buzzed, and she glanced at the incoming message.

“The medical records from the hospital have been taken care of.

”

Seeing that, a smile of relief spread across her face.

With Matthew’s return, Lucia’s spirits had been lifted.

Her recovery had hastened, and she was soon to be discharged.

On the day of her discharge, Matthew arrived at the hospital to pick up Lucia in person.
