Matilda weakly leaned on the bed, tears filling her eyes, looking pitifully at Roderick, “I just want you to be with me, my head hurts so much, I feel so bad.”
Roderick looked at her like that, feeling even more annoyed: “If you’re uncomfortable, go see a doctor. I can’t cure you.”
Matilda’s tears streamed down her cheeks.
In Roderick’s indifferent eyes, there was not a single flicker.
This man was like a machine!
She was not willing to accept it.
“Roderick, if Auntie were here, she definitely wouldn’t ignore me.”
She turned her head and choked up, “I miss Auntie so much.”
“Auntie used to be so nice to me, just like my mom, Roderick, do you still remember her?”
The man’s tall figure froze for a moment.
Roderick was pulled into memories.
The image of my mother is gradually piecing together in my mind, becoming clearer and clearer.
Mother was extremely kind to Matilda before she passed away, treating her like her own, and even gave her…
“You see.”

The jade pendant in memory appeared in Matilda’s palm.
Roderick’s pupils shrank.
That was the jade pendant that my mother loved the most when she was alive, it used to be a pair with the one on his body.
He walked quickly to the bed and took the jade pendant.
The warm jade body still had body temperature, with the back engraved with the elegant handwriting of the mother: Safe and sound.
“I remember Auntie once said, this is her favorite jade pendant, she personally said she wanted to give it to her favorite person.”
“Just a pity, only half a piece.”
Matilda gently rubbed her fingers on the jade pendant, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Plop!”
Tears fell on the jade pendant, sliding down onto Roderick’s hand.
Roderick took out the half piece of jade pendant from his pocket, and when he closed it, his throat tightened.
My vision started to blur, and I could vaguely see my mother’s hand tightly holding mine.
“Sorry, Roderick, bringing up your sad story again,” Matilda took the opportunity to comfort.
Roderick took a deep breath and handed the jade pendant back to Matilda, saying, “Since you know its meaning, keep it safe.”
Outside the door.

Andrea was just passing by, but caught a glimpse of Roderick’s profile out of the corner of her eye.
He sat on Matilda’s bed, slightly lowering his head, as if in a deep gaze.
She rarely received such warm looks from him.
The hand hanging by the side gradually clenched, sinking into the flesh.
Gross!
Andrea opened her eyes, left without saying a word.
He was Matilda’s fiance, so it was only natural for him to stand guard by her bedside when she was injured.
Although Andrea knew everything, her heart still felt like it was being weighed down by a heavy stone.
I was so overwhelmed that I couldn’t catch my breath.
Just wanted to get away.
In the room, Roderick had a blank expression on his face.
His standing up made Matilda look over anxiously, afraid that Roderick would leave.
“Sleep tight, I’ll leave when you’re asleep.”
Seeing his tall figure, Matilda sat down by the window and her doubts slowly faded away.
But he knew that Roderick stayed not because he cared about her.
It was just the jade pendant that brought back Roderick’s memories of

his mother.
I just took advantage of the convenience of this nostalgia.
She didn’t waste the opportunity she worked so hard for, did she?
“Roderick…”
As soon as I spoke, I was met with Roderick’s cold and lonely face.
