The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1965

In the end, Matteo decided to visit Tobias, and was also updated on recent events by Lana, whom he hadn't seen in a while.

While leading him to the ward, Lana related, "He was indeed informed that a kidney donor was found. However, this is the first time I have heard that they were donated by Hugo's daughter."

The injuries that Tobias suffered were very grave indeed.

Back then, out of the five she had chosen from the academy, only Tobias and Matteo made the cut to be sent to Tilan Palace.

In the end, no one had expected Hugo to be so cruel as to hire eight mercenaries and order them to fight to the death, with the goal of choosing the last man standing.

As a result, Matteo, in order to complete his mission, had no choice but to kill everyone else and grievously hurt his fellow classmate.

Fortunately, Lana had arrived at the nick of time to save Tobias.

Back at the ward, Matteo arrived at the door with Lana.

One year had passed since he last saw Tobias, who had gone through a kidney transplant. The latter, lying in bed in good spirits, broke into a smile at the sight of Matteo.

"Theo, you're here."

"Mmm-hmm."

Matteo nodded as he threw Tobias' body a concerned glance, especially at the latter's waist.

"How do you feel? Are they compatible?"

"Huh?"

His words stunned the other two in the ward.

Compatible? What a strange question. If they weren't, how could the transplant even be completed?

When both of them gave Matteo a quizzical glance, they noticed that his gaze continued to be fixed on Tobias' waist. It felt as if he could see through Tobias' skin and look directly at the kidneys.

As it was the hospital's protocol to keep the donor's identity a secret, Tobias had no idea where the kidneys came from.

When the two of them came out a few minutes later, Lana brought up Rosalie.

"Actually, Rosalie, who was long suffering from uremia and relied on kidney dialysis to survive, didn't know that the kidneys she received belonged to your uncle. The entire encounter was probably just a bad coincidence."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. When we questioned Hugo, he wasn't aware of the matter too. Moreover, he treated his daughter just like a pawn. Her mother was his first wife and also a member of the Southeast Astorian royal family. After her death, the only one who could maintain relations between the royal family and the Tilans was Rosalie.”

When Lana provided a summary of Rosalie's background, her voice was filled with pity and regret.

Without a doubt, that girl was innocent. The only thing she did wrong was being born into the Tilan family, who raised her into an arrogant and wilful girl. But behind that spoilt character of hers, no one

knows how much she has suffered.

Subsequently, Matteo headed home.

"Where did you go today?"

Matteo was surprised to run into Sebastian who was seldom at home at that hour. When Sebastian, who recognized the gloomy look on Matteo's face, asked him about it, Matteo hesitated.

"I... I went to see Captain Warlow, Daddy. I still want to be a police officer. Just like them, I can fight crime and uphold justice in every corner of the world," Matteo, staring at Sebastian, pleaded with conviction.

This was the third time he had appealed to his father about the matter. Ever since he returned, his family, especially his mother, had refused to discuss the matter due to their fear of losing him.

Meanwhile, Sebastian's swept his gaze across Matteo's face before checking his height. It then dawned upon him that the twenty-year-old Matteo was now as tall as he was.

In the end, he asked, "Have you thought through it?"

Matteo nodded without reservation. "I have. Look, Ian and Susan are now engaged. Once they have graduated from Atlantius, they will likely join Hayes Corporation.

"As for Kurt and Vivi, there's even less need to worry about them. Upon graduation, they will return to Oceanic Estate to take care of you and Mom.

Therefore, I'm in the best position to join the police force. Also, I want to become just like Grandpa and Uncle Devin. Daddy, isn’t that what you wish for me prior to this?"

Matteo looked sincerely at his father, his eyes filled with passion and determination. The look on his face made it hard for anyone to refuse him.

Naturally, Sebastian agreed in the end but on one condition.

Matteo was to give Natalie a call or send her a message every day.

"Ever since Nat watched the video of her dad being harmed, she isn't willing to talk to anyone else other than you. Even your mom has failed to get her to speak. Hence, I'm worried that she would turn into a second Ian if you leave," Sebastian commented with his brows furrowed tightly.

As Matteo's eyes darkened at the words, a sense of anguish struck him momentarily. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Back then, no one had expected the sudden turn of events, for Lana and Ian had made sure Brandon's case had been entirely covered up.

Subsequently, due to the perpetrator's arrest, his subordinates sent Natalie, who was in school at that time, the video of how her father was humiliated and had his kidneys harvested. They probably had likely done so out of revenge.q
