Chapter 656 Can’t Accept Reality

Thomas, who was standing nearby, immediately noticed what was happening and ran forward. “Young

Master Matthew? Young Master Matthew, what happened to you?”

Thomas stood in front of the wheelchair and lifted the hollow, dangling sleeve. “Where’s your arm?

What’s going on?”

“W-Who are you?” The woman who was pushing Matthew’s wheelchair glared at Thomas as she came

forward to push him away. He could vaguely hear what she said as she snapped, “What’s wrong with

you? Are you insane or something?”

Thomas stumbled after being shoved aside. He stared incredulously at the plump, average-looking

woman with short hair. “Who are you? What’s your relationship with Young Master Matthew? What

happened to Young Master Matthew?”

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. He even grabbed the woman by the collar and

snarled at her.

“What the hell are you doing, Thomas?!”

Just then, Skyler darted over and pushed Thomas away. “Stop it!”

Skyler stood between Thomas and the short-haired woman. He turned to her and explained, “Sorry

about that, Sadie. This is a friend of mine. We were all his friends, so it’s just a little hard for us to

accept what’s happened to him.”

“Oh. I see.” Sadie glared at Thomas before crouching down beside Matthew. Her tone instantly became

soft and gentle as she asked, “Scotty, they’re all old friends of yours. Do you recognize them?”

The man in the wheelchair stared at them blankly before shaking his head.

“Who’s Scotty?” Veronica came forward and asked after taking some time to compose herself.

Skyler started explaining right away. “Sadie here saved Matt and she’s the one who has been looking

after him the past few days. She didn’t know his name, so she called him Scotty. Also…”

He paused and pressed his lips together before stammering, “He’s… mute… and… he lost his memory

too.”

“N-No. That’s impossible…”

Veronica had known that Matthew would be injured when they found him, but even then, she could not

accept the fact that Matthew lost his left arm, was half-disfigured from burn scars, and couldn’t even

speak anymore.

She shook her head vehemently. After holding out for three months, she finally crumbled. All her hopes

were dashed. She was left with nothing but the shock and horror of the earth-shattering reality.

The pain that coursed through her felt like she had fallen onto a bed of needles that were stabbing into

every fiber of her being. It left her teary-eyed and gasping for air. It hurt so much that she could only

sob in silence.

“Veronica, don’t… don’t be like this…”

When Miguel saw how anguished she was, he couldn’t help but sigh. “I’m sorry. I should’ve listened to

Caleb. I shouldn’t have told you about this.”

Veronica clutched her chest and her mouth. She didn’t want to try, but her tears kept streaming down

her face.

Her body went weak, and Miguel had to hold her up. All she could do was lean against him for support.

After a while, she finally regained some of her composure, but she shook her head determinedly. “Have

they done a DNA test? Is it possible that he isn’t… isn’t actually Matt?”

Skyler turned around and glanced helplessly at Caleb and Miguel.

“Exactly. Young Master Matthew is a very capable man. How could it be… how is it possible that he

ended up like this? But…” Thomas added.

He wanted to suspect the veracity of this as well, but there was nothing to suspect.

Although the man in front of them right was a little disfigured, his face was not completely wrecked.

How could he not recognize his own boss?

“Roni, don’t try to fool yourself anymore. I had the same thought when I saw Matt yesterday, so I can

relate to what you’re feeling. You… you have to accept reality.”

Skyler’s eyes were bloodshot as he added, “I’ve been buddies with Matt for several decades now. Do

you think I’d fail to recognize him?”
