Ch.1134 Chapter 1137 - When Love Comes Late

Cordell administered the antidote to Matthew.

âLuckily, we got here in time.

The antidote should work swiftly.

âGood.

ââ Fernando acknowledged, then caught sight of Leslie attempting to flee.

Swiftly, he advanced, seized her, and issued a stern warning.

âStay put until Mr.

Clark wakes up, or elseâ¦â

The fear of her scheme unraveling drained color from Leslieâs face.

Her eyes welled up, tears streaming down.

âI never meant for this.

I just loved Matthew too much.

Her words tumbled out in a desperate attempt to explain.

Fernando retorted coldly, âSave those words for Mr.

Clark when he wakes.

Suddenly, Matthew coughed, having inhaled ether and an aphrodisiac.

After taking the antidote, he regained some consciousness.

Opening his eyes, he gazed emotionlessly at Leslie.

âI gave you too many chances, and you never learned.

I genuinely pity your father.

Leslie pressed her lips together, hurling irrational words.

âI loved you too much! Youâre the reason I had to do this!â

âLove?â Matthew scoffed.

âDo you even comprehend what love truly means? Your actions were nothing short of foolishness.

With a weary motion, he signaled to Fernando.

âTake her away.

âMatthew.

Only after Leslieâs voice had completely dissipated did Matthew rise.

With a solemn expression, he adjusted his clothes and ordered, âGo find Stella.

As they exited the building, Matthew suddenly heard a voice from above.

He looked up and spotted Stella and Benny on the rooftop.

Benny had Stella by the neck, one hand gripping a gun pointed at her head.

Both precariously balanced on the rooftopâs edge; Stella was in grave danger.

With an anguished expression, Stella called out, âMatthew!â

Matthewâs demeanor turned frigid in an instant.

Matthewâs eyes narrowed, glacial with intent.

He didnât waste a breath, already heading for the stairs to reach Stella.

Benny bellowed, âHold it right there! One step closer, and Iâll shoot Stella!â

âBenny!â Matthewâs voice rumbled, his face dark.

Benny met his gaze unflinchingly, a cruel sneer twisting his lips.

âIâve nothing left to lose.

At worst, Iâll take your wife with me to the grave.
