My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Hey, Why Didn’t You Dodge? “The Hood family is very strange. Since Matthew is little, they haven’t liked him much. After his younger brother was born, everyone in the family treats his brother as the heir. “Maybe it’s because when they were young, the adults always favor his younger brother, Matthew has never really liked his brother. And now, their father is sick. There has been a constant argument on the topic of the heir. “So, Matthew’s younger brother getting into a car accident now is not a good sign.” While Braxton was driving the car, Isabella briefly told Freya about the situation in the Hood family. When the three arrived at the hospital, the operating theater’s red light sign was lit up, which indicated that the surgery was still going on. Matthew was sitting outside with his arms crossed on his knees. His face was expressionless. “Matthew, what happened? How did your brother get into a car accident?” After a few seconds of silence, Matthew responded, “He borrowed my car and went out to have fun.” Hearing that, the three froze. It was Matthew’s car that his brother drove in the accident. The Hood family would make a fuss about this! Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

At this time, the operating theater’s red light sign went out. Soon, a doctor came out, took off his mask, and shook his head. “We did our best.” Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically, especially Matthew, whose face turned pale. Freya didn’t know how the Hoods had reacted when they arrived later because she was called into the mortuary. More or less, those who died in a car accident needed their appearance restored by morticians. This was Freya’s first task after returning to work, and it was Matthew’s younger brother. So, she did the job very carefully. When the restoring work was done, Matthew’s brother looked almost no different from when he was alive.

Her colleagues who previously looked down on her skills due to her two years of absence from work all fell silent. … When Freya saw Matthew again, it was at the cemetery. The Hood family were weeping in grief together, except Matthew. He stood on the side in black with no expression on his face. In contrast, his mother cried so much that she almost fainted. “My son… My son!” After crying, she threw herself at Matthew and hit him hard with her fists. “He’s your brother!” Matthew staggered. But he remained silent, and his gaze was full of bone-chilling coldness and disappointment. Even his father, who was sick, came. He seemed pale and weak. But when he noticed the expressionless Matthew, he grew angry and slapped the latter hard in the face. “You wicked child! You even schemed against your brother! How ruthless you are!” The cause of the car accident was later found to be brake failure. Everyone thought it was Matthew’s doing. Being hit by his father, Matthew didn’t move. He stubbornly endured the attack and stared at his father icily before saying word by word, “I’ll repeat it again. It has nothing to do with me.” That didn’t stop his father from giving him another punch. He staggered. Then, he wiped off the blood from his lips. Finally, Freya couldn’t bear to watch it anymore. Besides, Matthew had previously helped her to clarify her innocence. Hence, she went forward and pulled Matthew away before warning the latter’s father coldly, “Sir, please watch yourself. We’re in a cemetery.” After that, she pulled Matthew to leave. Braxton originally wanted to stop his sister, but she was too fast. So, he could only go to Matthew’s father, Tripp Hood, and say calmly, “My sister has been spoiled since she was a child. Please forgive her rudeness.”

Because of how Matthew was treated, Braxton didn’t have a good impression of the Hoods either. Tripp’s face turned red with anger, and his chest was heaving. But due to Freya’s background, he just waved his hand and said nothing. On the other hand, Freya took Matthew to a tree nearby. Noticing his slightly swollen cheeks, she frowned and asked, “Hey, why didn’t you dodge when your father hit you?” Matthew remained quiet. Freya tiptoed and carefully examined his wound. Somehow, she sensed that someone was watching her. She looked around and found Radley, who was wearing a black suit, not far away. He was gazing at them with an icy-cold expression.
