A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 691

Yvan couldn't help but chuckle at the word "instinct" coming from Logan. It amused him and intrigued him at the same time. So, he asked the boy, "How can you tell it's me without seeing my face?"

"It's just a gut feeling," Logan replied vaguely, silently adding to himself that it was the intuition shared between father and son.

However, Yvan, standing before him, seemed to have fragmented memories and couldn't recall that Logan was his son.

Yvan indeed didn't remember, but his heart softened inexplicably when Logan turned around to greet him. It felt familiar, as if he had known this little boy for a long time.

"Have we met before?" Yvan blurted out involuntarily.

Logan paused, then whispered, "Maybe we have, in a way that's beyond our understanding."

Hearing Logan speak in such a mysterious manner made Yvan laugh, "You're quite the character."

Indeed, Matilda was interesting, and so was her son.

Suddenly, Yvan felt an urge to investigate Matilda's ex-husband, instinctively believing that the boy's father must have been no ordinary man. How did he die? What led to his death?

Noticing Yvan deep in thought, Logan asked casually, "Did you come to Zach Country for a reason?"

Yvan's lips curled into a meaningful smile, "Yeah, to meet an old friend."

Logan mirrored Yvan's enigmatic smile, their expressions uncannily similar. After eliminating the impossible, what remained must be the truth.

Yvan's miraculous escape and prolonged disappearance must have had Keaton's secret support. Otherwise, the deception couldn't have been so perfect!

The question then was, what made Keaton keep this secret? Or, more precisely... why hadn't Keaton shared Yvan's past memories with him?

Something must have happened in the meantime, leading Keaton to conceal Yvan's past, which is why Yvan didn't recognize them. But emotions are peculiar things. Even if Yvan had forgotten the mutual hurt and deep love shared with Matilda, the moment he saw her again, he couldn't help but feel drawn to her.

Perhaps it was an instinct, a deep-rooted habit from within the brain, telling Yvan that this woman was someone he had once loved with all his heart.
