Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 17

When she finally arrived home at night, Veronica washed up and poured herself a cup of hot water to drink her medicine with. Her previous accident had caused her to become pregnant. This time, she would never let the same mistake happen to her again.

However, that b*stard, Matthew, was not even human.

After she finished tidying up, Veronica lay on bed and went on her phone for a while before she succumbed to her exhaustion and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, she got up and made a bowl of porridge with some vegetables and packed them into a lunchbox before heading to Saint Hospital. Normally, she could only prepare and deliver her adoptive mother‘s meals during noon, but now that her work ended at midnight, she had a lot of free time, and could prepare her adoptive mother‘s meals in the morning as well.

With the lunchbox, Veronica took her scooter and headed for Saint Hospital.

Upon entering one of the wards at the inpatient department, she saw her adoptive mother, clad in a navy printed top and blue jeans, washing her adoptive father‘s face for him.

Her adoptive mother‘s hair was already turning white, and the years had mercilessly left traces on her wrinkled face.

“Sigh, Tony, why aren‘t you waking up yet? You‘re lucky enough to lie around in bed, but our daughter has to work and prepare three meals for me a day, come rain or shine. It pains me to look at her,” Daniella muttered while wiping Tony‘s face.

Upon hearing that, Veronica felt her heart ache, but she walked in with a smile. “Mom, you don‘t have to worry. I‘m free anyway. Come and eat.” She put the insulated lunch box on the table, took the face towel from Daniella, and went to the bathroom with the basin.

“Veronica, you don‘t have to cook for me in the future. I‘ll just eat some bread in the morning.”

Saint Hospital was a high–class private hospital, and the food was naturally expensive. In order to save money, Daniella basically only ate bread for every meal.

Of course, Veronica couldn‘t bear to see her adoptive mother work so hard every day.

“Mom, hurry up and eat before the food gets cold.” Veronica walked out from the bathroom with a huge smile as if nothing had happened and asked, “How‘s Dad doing these days?”

“He moves his fingers from time to time, but I don‘t know when he will wake up. Sigh…” Daniella heaved a huge sigh, opened the lunch box, and started eating the porridge.
