A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 631

It was all over. Forget about me and live a good life.

You've let go, you've walked away, but who's going to release me from this world of suffering?

...

Three days later, in the quiet Boyd family living room, Matilda sat on the couch while Violet cried her eyes out beside her, and even Noel's eyes were red. The couple seemed to have aged a decade in just a few days. Their once harmonious and happy life had been shattered by a devastating blow, an unbearable catastrophe.

The day Yvan decided to take Chad down with him, many people went searching for them.

Hadrian, Cyprian, and Declan sent countless skilled people to comb through the area below the cliff, all efforts in vain.

That day, a storm broke out, lasting three days and nights. When the storm finally subsided, sunlight shone through the forest leaves, and droplets of water fell, clear and transparent.

It was as if a rebirth had occurred, the rain washing away all traces of blood, as if... nothing had ever happened.

Yvan was gone.

Violet, unable to control her sobs, clutched her husband's arm as if she had lost her anchor, her eyes bloodshot with grief. The pain of a mother losing her son in middle age was immeasurable, and she still couldn't accept this reality.

Yvan was gone.

No one was found.

The Boyd family was shattered.

"Mat, I appreciate your kindness..." Noel couldn't hold back his tears, "I'm begging you, please... find Yvan. He always had his own way of doing things; he might be hiding somewhere... we have to find him..."

Eventually, Noel was overcome with grief, and Matilda, wiping her tears fiercely, stood up and said to her former father-in-law, "Noel, don't worry, I'm heading back to the site right now. If anything comes up, I'll let you know first."

"Mat, you're a good kid..." Noel grasped Matilda's hand again, "I know, what Yvan did before hurt you deeply, and I'm grateful you stayed after the incident. We don't expect you to feel responsible, what's done is done... if it becomes too much, feel free to leave and live your life. The Boyd family will hold no grudge..."

Noel’s words hit Matilda right in her most vulnerable spot, and she broke down, her emotions collapsing at that moment, "I can't leave now, none of us can leave, we have to wait for Yvan to come home."
