My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

555 Chapter 554

Matthew turned his head away and wiped the wet corners of his eyes.

Keira didn't rush him and waited patiently for him to calm down.

In fact, Keira suspected that Matthew had a connection with her sister, and it wasn't solely based on a photo she hadn't seen in years...

It was because, after she woke up as Keera, she not only didn't go into shock, but she also didn't show any symptoms of anemia. This indicated that while she was unconscious, someone had been administering iron to her.

And that person could only be Matthew.

Strangers wouldn't understand her condition well enough to execute such a flawless intervention.

It had only been a suspicion until the last time when she thought she saw Matthew at the Clance Hospital. She had someone look into it and discovered that Matthew was, in fact, a doctor there and had been on assignment in Oceanion for the past few years.

Connecting all these dots, Keira came to her conjecture.

After what seemed like an eternity, Matthew finally regained his composure.

He took a deep breath and said, "I don't really know what the deal is with the South family. I grew up in an orphanage. The head of the orphanage told me that I had to work hard and become outstanding if I wanted a family, so I was diligent and became the smartest child in the orphanage. Finally, one day, a luxury car came, and I was taken away.

"I thought I was going to join a happy family, but to my surprise, I was sent overseas to study. They arranged for me to learn many things until I was sent back to the country when I was fourteen, to your sister's side. They told me that my life's mission was to ensure your sister's safety, to be her Guardian, and your sister was my master."

"At that time, Keera was about seven years old, extremely adorable and obedient... She always treated me like an older brother and never like an underling..."

Matthew spoke of Keera with an especially tender tone.

His eyes revealed a sense of nostalgia and affection, clearly showing his deep love for her.

Keira spaced out for a moment.

Keera was indeed a gentle and kind woman, and most men around her seemed to like her.

Like Matias...

With Keera's personality, there wouldn't be many who disliked her.

Keira looked at Matthew and asked, "Then what happened?"

Matthew slowly continued. "Your sister only wanted to keep a low profile and to be abandoned by the South family, so she outright rejected the second mission they assigned. Mary and Ellis never got together, and that's why she chose such a husband."

Keira was confused. "The second mission?"

"Yes, the first mission was to become good friends with Mary. Keera was sent to the same kindergarten by her foster parents when she was little. She was very young, and her parents told her to play with Mary, so she did without making a big deal out of it. But as she grew older, she realized she didn't want to exploit her relationship with Mary, so she took the opportunity to fall out with Mary and gradually faded from Mary's life..."

Matthew smiled bitterly. "She was such a kind girl, not wanting to burden anyone, so she took on everything herself. Including that time on the sea, she chose to save you and gave up on herself."

Keira's eyes gradually moistened. Her relationship with Keera, whom she had met for the first time only to face life and death separation, wasn't close. She had impersonated Keera partly out of responsibility and partly to save her mother, Jodie South.

But at this moment, listening to Matthew's words, the image of Keera seemed to come alive before her.

Keera was timid and cowardly, yet she could give up the mission issued by the South family for her friend…

She was fearful and panicked, yet for Keira's sake and Jodie South, she could let her Guardian, who would never betray her, protect Keira…

How could she be so foolish?

Keira clenched her fists.

Matthew then continued. "Speaking of which, after your sister found out about her identity, she chose to become a dispensable pawn to protect you, fearing that the South family would discover you… After she was abandoned, it was as if I had been exiled, destined to be just an ordinary doctor, guarding her by her side for the rest of my life. But to protect you and your mother, she sent me to Oceanion…" He lowered his gaze. "Since I was little, I was taught to obey my master's commands, so even if I knew the request was unreasonable and that the one who would get hurt by this request would only be Keera herself, I still had to comply.

"I went to Oceanion, and I met you. I thought you would be as gentle and lovely as your sister, but while your sister was like a rabbit, docile and calm, you were like a cat, always showing sharp claws. You and your sister are completely different people."

His description was quite apt.

But Keira didn't want to hear all this.

She asked, "So, what exactly is the deal with the South family? What do they do? Why are they like this? What exactly is my sister to the South family? And what's with this 'rabbit' code name?"

Seeing her so anxious, Matthew sighed. "Actually, I don't know the answer."

Keira was stunned. "What?"

Matthew gave a wry smile. "I'm just an orphan, so what right do I have to be in touch with the higher-ups of the South family? I don't know what this is all about. All I know is that I receive orders from above, and my mission is to protect the identity of your sister from being discovered and to work together with your sister to complete missions until, finally, we get acknowledged by the South family and can return home."

Keira heard the keywords. " Return home?"

"Yes, return home," Matthew looked at her. Whether it's me, your sister, or even you, don't you feel we're all like orphans stranded outside? We have a home but cannot return. The South family is our home. Only by completing the mission can we return home."

Keira frowned. "Who is your superior?"

"I don't know," Matthew said, "I just receive missions regularly."

Keira scoffed. "So you've never been back to the South family? You don't know where it actually is."

"Correct."

Matthew's response was crisp. "Your sister also has never returned. She has always been yearning to go home, so can you help her complete the mission? Marry Scott Martin, even if it's a sham marriage. Just get past this immediate hurdle first. I believe, if the marriage is fake, Mr. Horton will understand!"

"Marriage is sacred and shouldn't be used as a bargaining chip."

Keira said flatly and then looked at him. "However, Matthew, I'm very curious. Since you don't know the South family's location, how come you had a video of the South family threatening my mother?"

At those words, Matthew's pupils constricted.

Keira took a step forward, staring at him. "Can you give me an explanation? Where did you get the video? And what about the photos?"

Matthew looked at her.

Keira then took a step back. "So, I only believe half of what you just said. You must know what the South family is doing and where they are! Work with me, and we can rescue my mother. I will join you in avenging my sister! I believe if my sister were here, she wouldn't just watch my mother fall into their hands. So, tell me, where exactly is the South family?!"
