Chapter 1334
When Love Comes Late
The woman stabbed Matthew with the knife.
A sudden, searing pain erupted from Matthewâs abdomen, causing a rush of blood.
Instinctively, he covered the wound, his legs giving way as he knelt on the ground.
Amid the chaos, his phone slipped from his pocket.
Breck stood in astonishment, caught off guard by the abrupt shift in the situation.
Witnessing the woman poised to strike Matthew again, Breck snapped out of his stupor.
Reacting swiftly, he seized her wrist and disarmed her.
With blazing eyes, Hamiltonâs wife cried to Matthew, âGive my children back to me! Theyâre all I have.
â
Having given birth to the twins later in life, she held them dear, and the thought of losing them was unbearable.
With pain etched across his face, Matthew bit his lip, his expression somber and tense.
Exasperated, Breck berated the woman, âYouâre out of your mind! Your kids are at the police station! Youâre delusional!â
âYouâre lying to me! Youâll stop at nothing to get what you want.
Theyâre just innocent kids!â the woman protested, her voice a mix of anguish and desperation.
Just as emotions reached a boiling point, Ermaâs phone rang-a call from the police station.
Overwhelmed with joy upon hearing that her children were safe, she forcefully pushed Breck aside and hurriedly left.
Breck staggered backward, casting a resentful gaze at her retreating figure.
âWhat is wrong with these people?â
âBreck.
Matthewâs weakened voice called out.
âMr.
Clark!â Breck hurried to Matthewâs side, alarmed by the severity of his injury.
He took out his phone and said, âIâll call an ambulance.
Hold on.

Matthew drew in a deep breath, his thin lips forming a firm line, a delicate sheen of sweat adorning his forehead.
From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the flickering phone screen, He gestured to Breck, silently urging him to retrieve it from the ground.
Upon realizing it was a call from Stella, a subtle shift played across Matthewâs features.
Taking note of his expression, Breck inquired cautiously, âMr.
Clark, do you want me to end the call?â
Matthew remained silent for a moment, then exerted effort to utter, âAnswer it.
â
Breck proceeded to activate the speakerphone, bringing the device closer to Matthew.
Through the phone, Stella inquired, âDarling, did I interrupt your work? Iâve just finished my work and have some time to talk with you.
