Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2159

In the gazebo, Gianna finally chose to tell Brittany the truth. ''Your mother passed away shortly after giving birth to you. These years have also been hard for you.''

As she spoke, her eyes teared up just a little. The love between kin was definitely a bond that couldn't be snapped even in the face of death. So, although so many years had passed, she could still see her sister smiling happily in her memories. Of course, when it came to the truth behind her sister's death...

Gianna merely glossed over the matter. She didn't see a need in mentioning the feud between Billy and the Nolan Family.

She only did this so that Brittany would be able to digest this information without getting too agitated. Unfortunately, even though her words were kind and gentle, Brittany's mind was an utter mess.

She would have never thought that the elegant and proud woman in front of her was her aunt. She had asked her father countless times about her mother over the years, but he would always find a way to dodge her questions. After a while, he would constantly use dystocia as an excuse to avoid the topic altogether. Yet, now that this woman before her was actually her aunt, she didn't know how to react. Not only that, but her aunt was also coincidentally the richest woman in Bainbridge.

For a moment, Brittany was at a loss as to what to do.

She could only look at Matthew, the only man whom she could trust and rely on at this moment.

Alas, Matthew also didn't know what to say when faced with her bewildered and desperate eyes. He just knew that Brittany needed Gianna's protection.

Besides, the truth wouldn't stay hidden forever and it was best to face things in a somewhat controlled environment. It was just a matter of timing.

After a slight hesitation, he nodded and replied softly, ''Brit, Miss Gianna is right. You're her biological niece.''

As soon as Brittany heard his words, she couldn't restrain her feelings any longer. Tears immediately rolled down her cheeks like a string of broken pearls.

''Tell me, Matt, did you know about this?''

Matthew slowly rose to his feet and initially wanted to comfort Brittany. However, when he reached out to touch her shoulder, he was harshly shoved aside.

Thus, he could only turn to Gianna in resignation. ''Ms. Nolan, I'm afraid I'll have to leave her in your care for the time being.''

Gianna smiled sadly. ''Of course. I had already planned to do that from the very beginning. All right, you should head to work. I'll try my best to comfort Brit.''

As she reassured Matthew, she moved to sit down by Brittany's side. Then, she hugged the girl gently in her arms. Matthew cleared his throat before saying, ''Then, Brit, I'll be taking my leave now. You should stay here for now. I will visit you when I have the time.''

Finally, he turned to Gianna and bid her farewell, saying, ''Ms. Nolan, I'll see you again.'' With that, he turned around and left the manor.

It took Brittany a while before she could process what happened. Only then did she straighten up quickly and swivel her head to look for the man. Unfortunately, Matthew was nowhere to be seen. There was only her aunt, whom she barely knew, looking at her lovingly.
