Matthew immediately stood up, walked over, and put a hand on Veronica‘s forehead. Seeing that her fever had gone down, he asked, “How are you feeling?”

However, she was crazy about Matthew, and Veronica, who was on friendly terms with him, could help her date him, so she liked Veronica very much as well. Despite her domineering disposition, beneath that flamboyant exterior, she was a kind-hearted person.
