Perhaps she attempted to cling on for their sakes, but instead the shadowy lure of mortality is drawing her in, and she can no longer be saved. Mattheo's heart stopped at the thought. There was no escaping death. However, this sensation gave him the impression that he was dying.

"Another thing Mattheo, you have to promise me you will stay calm brother." Tom begged. He never sought for mercy. Mattheo gave Tom a glance. a thorough examination of him. His face was more pale than before, and the strain was evident in the red, irritated eyes. What is happening.

A shadow crept into the room in the form of Mattheo's father. His stern expression betrayed a mix of emotions — relief at his son's awakening, but a simmering anger beneath the surface. Mattheo's father, a man of traditional values and a commanding presence, couldn't suppress his frustration.

"You've been asleep for a year, Mattheo. A year!" his father bellowed, a fatherly concern veiled in frustration. "And Angel... She's still unconscious and bloody infertile. This cannot continue."

Mattheo's heart sank at the mention of Angel. The woman he loved, the one who had shared his dreams and faced the tragedy of the accident with him, still lay in the grip of an unyielding slumber. The weight of guilt and helplessness pressed upon Mattheo's shoulders. But what really destroyed him was the fact she couldn't have babies. She wanted a kid of her own so badly and the fact she's infertile--he couldn't hear all of this pain and emotion.

Mattheo's father, fueled by a sense of duty and societal expectations and his own evil greed, seized upon a decision born of desperation. In an effort to salvage the family's lineage, he ordered Mattheo to wed Astoria, a woman chosen to secure the family's legacy.

"You will marry her--you hear me boy! she's fertile and a pure blood! Lestrange alert the Greengrasse's and arrange a meeting. " His voice boomed obviously full of demand and power, fading out as he apparated.

Caught between the conflicting currents of his own desires and familial obligations, Mattheo grappled with the impending union. The union with Astoria, a symbol of his father's authority, seemed an inevitable fate, even as the echoes of his love for Angel reverberated through the sterile hospital room.

As Mattheo navigated the intricate web of emotions and decisions that lay ahead, the wake of his awakening cast a shadow on the uncertain path that unfolded before him — a path marked by love lost, duty imposed, and the intricate dance between personal desires and societal expectations.

In the delicate tapestry of emotions, Mattheo found himself entangled in a complex web of love and duty that threatened to unravel the very fabric of his being. At the center of this emotional maelstrom was Angel, the woman who had become the sun around which Mattheo's universe revolved.

Their love story, once a blossoming symphony of shared dreams and whispered promises, now faced the harsh winds of familial expectations and societal obligations. Mattheo's heart, an echo chamber of emotions, resonated with the profound dilemma that cast a shadow over the love he held so dear.

The genesis of Mattheo's internal conflict lay in the authoritative presence of his father, a figure whose traditional values and unwavering expectations held sway over the course of Mattheo's life. The very love that had blossomed between Mattheo and Angel now faced an insurmountable obstacle — the impending arranged marriage to Astoria, a union dictated not by the whims of the heart but by the cold calculations of familial duty.
