All too late for his love

The knuckle where her thumb used to be had already scabbed over. But when he dragged her with his car, her hand had gotten hurt again. The scab had broken open as it rubbed against the ground. It was now a bloody mess, The sight shook Matthew, and it made his heart ache. It hurt so much that he couldn't do anything, and his chest nearly stilled Willow was innocent. And yet, Matthew himself had caused her to become disabled. There was also what had happened today.

Matthew clutched at his chest. His heart felt like it was being repeatedly stabbed. If Kenan hadn't arrived in the nick of time, Willow would have already died under his car. Even though she survived, she had also sustained grievous injuries.

Immediately, Matthew kicked Jonathan away and made a mad dash for the dungeon behind the house.

Matthew's assistant, Damon, was worried when he noticed Matthew's irrationality. Worried, he chased after his employer Matthew didn't bother to open the door the usual way. Instead, he kicked it open and rushed inside. Once he was inside, he scrambled around on the ground, searching for something in a frenzy.

Damon felt that he should help his employer. He approached Matthew and asked hesitantly. "Mr. Mayer, what are you looking for?" "Her thumb! Willow's thumb!"

Matthew tossed the litter on the ground aside. He remembered that he had ordered his men to cut off Willow's thumb that day. He also remembered that her thumb had fallen by a certain wooden board. Though the board was in the same spot, Matthew couldn't find Willow's severed thumb.

Damon had no words. He felt that Matthew had gone crazy. It had been days since Willow's thumb had been cut off. Even if Matthew did find it, it could no longer be reattached. What was the point of this?

Still, Damon didn't dare to voice his thoughts. All he could do was quietly observe Matthew while he pretended to search for Willow's severed thumb as well.

However, they still couldn't find the thumb at all despite their searching The blood on the ground had long since dried. Meanwhile, that severed thumb had seemingly vanished into thin air.

At long last, Damon hesitantly spoke up. "Mr. Mayer, it seems that her thumb is... gone."

"Gone?" Matthew was eerily calm, but Damon couldn't pinpoint why he seemed scarier than usual. "What do you mean, "gone"?

Damon promptly kept quiet after that. Instead, he hastily gathered his subordinates and made them search for Willow's thumb as well Damon had only started working for Matthew recently, but he already had a handle on his personality. If Matthew wanted that severed thumb found, then they must find it at all costs, even if it had already rotted.

"L... I think I know where it might be!" one of the guards stuttered as he raised his hand

"Out with it!" Matthew barked.
