The next day, our friend Carl rushed to Matthew with news of my disappearance.
At that time, Matthew was discussing Susan's surgery with the doctor.
He hummed nonchalantly, "Really? What does this have to do with me?"
Carl was so anxious that he was furious.
"Nora is missing. She might be in danger!"
Matthew replied, "If you’re in a hurry, then go find her yourself."
My life or death was not important to him, especially with Susan's surgery imminent.
Carl sighed, "Matthew, why are you so cruel to Nora?"
"Cruel?" Matthew snorted coldly. "When she caused my sister's tragic death, did she feel she was cruel?"
Carl was silent for a moment but still wanted to fight for me. "What happened to your sister was an accident..."
His sister's death was Matthew's deep pain. He was furious.
"Carl, that's enough!"
Matthew lowered his voice, but couldn't suppress his anger.
"Even if that woman is dead, it has nothing to do with me!
"I don't care whether she's dead or alive.
"No, if she died, I would feel very happy.
"I hope you can bring the news of her death with you next time you come to see me."
Carl looked at him in disbelief. "You used to care about Nora a lot. How can you say such heartless words now?"
Matthew snorted coldly. "You also said it was in the past.
Now in my mind, she is just the murderer who killed my sister!"
I was shocked when I heard this.
After all this time, he still hates me so much.
He could not forget what happened to his sister Jennifer.
But I am obviously innocent!
Her sister and I died at the hands of the same person.
I knew who the murderer was, but I couldn't tell him.
Matthew, why can't you take a closer look at my body?
I clearly left you the most important clue...
Carl knew that his persuasion was futile, so he turned and left.
When he left, Matthew rushed to the ward to stabilize Susan's emotions.
He coaxed her and called her "baby," afraid that she would be scared.
He had no idea that with her manipulative nature, she wasn't afraid at all.

Matthew’s sister Jennifer and I used to be good friends.
A few years ago, we made plans to go shopping together at the mall.
I waited outside while she entered a fitting room in a luxury store.
After waiting for ten minutes and still not seeing her come out, I went in to check.
It scared me so much that I broke out in a cold sweat.
Jennifer was missing!
I quickly contacted Matthew, and soon he received a kidnapping call.
