Chapter 1656 You Will Never See Her Again
However, just when he was about to leave, Vivian woke up amidst her fever and stopped him.
“Matt, let’s leave this place, shall we? I miss Daddy and Mommy already,” she pleaded in tears.
Her face was burning red from the fever, and it was painted with nothing but misery.
Not knowing what to say, Matteo chose to comply with her wishes and returned to Summerbank with her so that she could see the doctor.
In the meantime, when Riley, who was based there, heard about it, she rushed to the hospital and made all the necessary arrangements.
“What happened? How did Vivi end up being so sick?”
After she was done with the paperwork, she became furious upon learning that Vivian was hurt on top of having a high fever. Therefore, all she wanted to do was to find out what had transpired so that she could stand up for Vivian.
Even though the siblings were already seventeen, they were still children in her eyes.
Matteo replied in an exasperated tone, “It’s just a trivial matter. Ms. Cooper, can you help me take care of Vivi, as I still need to make a trip back?”
In the end, Matteo’s indignance got the better of him. Hence, he decided to return and get to the bottom of the matter.
Riley readily agreed.
With that, Matteo returned to Elysium that night.
This time, he went straight to the royal palace and located Agarwood Pavilion, which was the building the heir to the royal family supposedly stayed in.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, a sharp object whizzed through the air.
Inside the building, Kurt, who was about to get in bed, dodged it by reflex and retreated to the side.
Upon seeing Kurt’s reaction, Matteo emerged from the dark.
“Aren’t you supposed to only remember incidents before you were ten? In that case, how did you learn to react like that?” Matteo sneered with a fiery gaze.
Nevertheless, Kurt stared icily at him.
“Who are you? How dare you barge in here in the middle of the night! Do you have a death wish?”
Death wish?
The words caused Matteo to lose his temper.
Without saying another word, he charged forward and swung his fists.
This little rascal needs to be taught a lesson!
Just like that, an intense battle broke out in Agarwood Pavilion in the middle of the night. Both of them were expert fighters in their own right. One was personally trained by Karl within SteelFort, while the other was trained by Devin in the army.
As a result, neither of them were ordinary warriors.
In slightly over ten minutes, the raging battle had shattered everything in the room.
It was a truly terrifying sight.
It was not until half an hour later that a large group of royal guards arrived at the scene after hearing the commotion. As for the two of them, their faces were already swollen and covered with bruises.
That was when they finally stopped to catch their breath.
“You ungrateful assh*le. Let me warn you, if you bully my sister again, I’ll definitely punch all your teeth in!” Matteo warned when he finally recognized that he could not beat Kurt. He also sensed the impending arrival of the palace guards.
Panting heavily, Kurt stared at him. ”I don’t know your sister at all.”
Matteo’s fury was ignited again. If it was not because of the increasingly unfavorable odds he was facing, Matteo would have given Kurt another beating.
“Fine. If you claim to not know her, so be it. Let me tell you, Kurt, you’re the one who said so yourself. After this, I’ll take my sister back to Yartran. Going forward, you can be king of Elysium, while she goes back to living her own life. If you dare bother her in the future, I’ll make sure you regret it if it’s the last thing I do!”
Burning with rage, Matteo made a vow before escaping the palace grounds.
That was the first time in his life he made such a solemn oath.
All this while, he always had a cheerful disposition and was angered to an extent where he needed to swear.
Meanwhile, Kurt was standing in the middle of the mess they left as he watched Matteo’s leaving silhouette in a daze.
Unable to control himself, he balled his fingers that were red from battle into fists. He clenched them so hard that they turned pale instead.
The night felt exceptionally dark to him.
In the end, Vivian did not return to Miralaea.
After giving it some thought, she decided not to let her parents worry. If they found out that Kurt had lost his memory and idly watched as she was beaten, they would definitely feel devastated.
Consequently, they would blame Kurt for it.
Given how soft-hearted she was, she still wanted to protect Kurt’s reputation in front of her family, despite what had happened.
On the other side, Riley brought Vivian back to the Cooper residence, where Edmund used to stay previously.
“Vivi, don’t think too much about it. Just stay with me here for the time being so that you can clear your mind. Is that okay with you?”
Riley was an exceptionally gentle and attentive person.
After taking Vivian in and understanding what she was going through, she felt the urge to take good care of Vivian and cheer her up.
Reacting to Riley’s offer, Vivian nodded in agreement.
When Vivian was feeling a bit better, Riley planned to take her out.
“Vivi, why don’t we go out today? We can head to the city’s old quarter. Since you’re into fashion design, I heard that there’s a fashion show there showcasing beautiful traditional clothing. Would you like to go and take a look?”
“Traditional clothing?”
After being cooped up at home for the past few days, Vivian was beginning to feel depressed. Hence, her interest was piqued when she heard Riley’s suggestion.
