Chapter 338
It happened on a winding mountain road in the evening. Matthew’s parents drove out to a relatively remote mountainous area. At the bend in the road, the car stopped on the side to avoid a big track. However, the driver of the big truck did not dodge at all and crashed his parents‘ car into the protective fenker.

in broken glass and were covered in
The protective fence was broken, and the front of the car was shattered. Both of his parents were injuries.
However, the driver of the truck did not stop at all. It was a hit–and–rum. The surveillance camera briefly recorded half of the truck’s body, but it could not take a photo of its license plate number. It only showed that it was a red trick
What was even more chilling was that according to the forensic results, Matthew’s parents did not die on the spot. They had woken up after being knocked unconscious, but because the front of the car was stuck on the cliff and their legs were suppressed by the twisted front of the car, they could not break free.
In other words, his parents had a chance to be resuscitated after the accident, but the truck driver had bit and run, causing his parents to bleed to
death in the car.
Half an hour later, another car encountered the scene of the accident and called the police. However, it was already too late.
If the truck driver hadn’t thought of escaping. As long as the truck driver chose to save his parents, there was still a chance of them surviving
At that time, Matthew was 10 years old. The scenes of his parents dying inside of a closed space were locked in his mind, and every time he thought of them, they were extremely clear. Later on, he gradually began to hate being in small spaces and darkness. It was actually fear
The Grant family never gave up looking for the truck driver.
However, because the incident happened in the mountains, there were no surveillance cameras on the surrounding roads, and there were too many trucks of the same type. No matter how much effort the Grant family used to search, they found nothing. Later on, in order to make Sophia and Nolan stop being sad, no one mentioned this matter anymore.
Matthew had never given up on finding the truck driver in secret. No matter who could report it and provide information, they would be rewarded with 200 thousand dollars
Even so, he did not receive any useful feedback. Now that 20 years had passed, the driver seemed to have disappeared from the world
Matthew’s voice was very deep. Recalling the past made his expression even colder and more solemn. His eyes were also bloodshot, and his entire body was shrouded in a layer of gloom that could not be dispelled. He spoke very slowly. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to talk to her about his life, specifically about his parents,
In fact, it was also the first time he had mentioned it to anyone.
He said. Tim not really afraid of the dark, but every time it comes to this, ll think of those things.”
Valerie was a little surprised, but then she smiled and held his hand. “If you can’t forget it, so be it. Your parents will be happy that you always remember them. You’re not actually afraid of the darkness, but you are just scared because you are reminded of how helpless you were at that time, right Mr. Grant, it’s no big deal. If the power goes out, we’ll light the candles and everything will be fine”
Her eyes curved into crescents.
Even though her life was not very comfortable, she always had a smile on her face and even comforted him
But Matthew had to admit that he was infected by her smile. He couldn’t help but say, “What if there are no candles and it’s still pitch–black!”
Valerie said, “It doesn’t matter. The night will pass anyway.

Under the candlelight,
