Chapter 1301
When Love Comes Late
âSo, you think breaking up makes you worthless? Neville, whatâs happened to you?â
Neville met his gaze briefly, then offered his phone without a word.
Matthew hesitated, but Neville pushed it closer.
Puzzled, Matthew took the phone.
The screen displayed a hospital diagnosis report, Nevilleâs name stark at the top.
As Matthew read the final diagnosis, his expression changed.
He looked up at Neville, a beat of silence hanging heavy in the air.
âThe accident caused this?â he finally asked, his voice low.
Neville nodded.
âThis is me now.
How could I make Miley happy Like this? Breaking up felt right.
But that night on the mountain, I thought I was dying, and the regret hit me hard.
Dying like that wasnât what I wanted.
â
He cradled his head in his hands, his voice thick with pain.
âALL I want after waking up is to be with Miley again.
Even if she rejects me, I want to protect her.
But she wonât give me a chance.
â
Matthew sank onto the sofa beside Neville, squinting in thought.
After a tense silence, he asked, âDo you truly want to reconcile?â
âWith every fiber of my being,â Neville confessed.
âI canât imagine loving anyone else.
I know I was a jerk, but being with her made me want to be better.
â
He turned to Matthew, his voice strained with pleading.
âMatthew, I rarely ask favors.
Can you help me win Miley back this time?â
Matthewâs gaze remained cold.
âMy influence wonât solve this, Neville.
Drowning your sorrows here wonât either.
Itâll destroy your health and any chance of reuniting with Miley.
â
Neville slumped in defeat, silent.
âStand up,â Matthew commanded.
âIâll help you get healthy.
As for Miley, thatâs your problem.
You have to win her over yourself.
â
After a long moment, Neville seemed to snap out of it.
He wiped his face, stood up, and finally met Matthewâs gaze with a glimmer of determination.
âYouâre right.
This pathetic state wonât get me anywhere.
If I want Miley back, I need to show her Iâm serious.
â
Matthew snorted.
âSpare me the theatrics.
Go change.

He arranged for Nevilleâs transport.
Once alone, Matthew fired off an email to Benjamin Kennedy, a medical PhD he knew.
âRumors say your hospitalâs endocrinology team is well-established.
I have a friend facing some challenges.
Could we meet to discuss in detail?â
Elizabeth lounged on the sofa, fuming at the thought of Stella stealing her heroine role.
Witnessing her distress, Galen looked at her with frustration and helplessness.
âElin has joined Starlight Entertainment.
Iâll find you another assistant.
Stop being unreasonable.
