Chapter 103

Veronica came round and opened her eyes, only to feel a little weak all over.

Seeing that she had regained consciousness, Melissa cried out, “Veronica! You‘re awake at last!”

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?”

“How did I get back here?” Veronica asked subconsciously, before raising her wounded hand as her wrist hurt.

“You didn‘t come back even by midnight, so Matthew went searching for you with his men.” Melissa sat next to Veronica, her eyes red with hurt. “Luckily, you‘re alright. Otherwise, I‘d feel very sorry toward you.”

Born in a wealthy and distinguished family, Melissa was usually arrogant and domineering. 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.

When Veronica recalled the masked man yesterday, her eyes darkened. “Did he bring me back?”

“Was there anything wrong?” Matthew sensed that something was amiss. He asked, “Who treated your wound?”

“Me. I did it myself,” Veronica replied.
