Ch.1179 Chapter 1182 - When Love Comes Late

Leaning back in his chair, Matthew looked thoughtful.

âWe need to find him quickly.

He could become a major problem if left unchecked.

âUnderstood!â Fernando acknowledged with a nod.

As Matthew organized the documents on his desk, he rubbed his temples and suggested, âYou should head home.

Youâve put in a lot of effort these past few days.

Itâs Christmas Eve, after all.

Spend some quality time with your family.

Fernando gave a slight nod, replying, âIâll head out then.

And you should leave early too.

Be careful driving in the snow.

Matthew responded nonchalantly.

It was already getting dark very early in winter.

As Matthew exited the company building, the sky was overcast, with fine snowflakes gently falling.

The streets were adorned with colorful lights, creating a festive atmosphere.

The cheerful scene lifted Matthewâs spirits.

He swiftly started the car, his thoughts turning to Stella.

That was the first time he felt such eagerness to return home and reunite with his family.

The Christmas Eve meant fewer people on the roads.

Matthew picked up speed, his car gliding swiftly along.

Suddenly, a figure darted in front of his car.

Matthew frowned and blared his horn.

But the person seemed oblivious and stumbled forward.

Matthew slammed on the brakes, the car screeching to a halt.

When he looked again, the figure had disappeared.

Without hesitation, Matthew stopped the car, unbuckled his seat belt, and stepped out to investigate.

There, in front of his car, lay a woman.

Matthew knitted his eyebrows together as he knelt down.

He moved closer to the woman and was hit by a strong whiff of alcohol.

He scrunched up his face and lightly tapped her shoulder, saying, âExcuse me, Miss?â

The woman didnât respond.

After a momentâs hesitation, Matthew reached out to lift her up.

When he saw her face, he caught his breath.

She looked so much like Stella, especially her eyes and eyebrows.

But he quickly shook off the thought.

Noticing her thin coat and the bruises on her bare arms, Matthewâs frown deepened.
