Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 114

Chapter 114

Puting away the examination report, Matthew entered the ward and looked at Veronica, who was tethered to an IV pack, inquiring, “How are you feeling?”

“Much better. A hundred times better than being in the hills,” Veronica replied as she lay on the bed. With the dirt washed away, her face was now as elegant as before, though it was much paler, and Matthew was devastated seeing that.

“How about you? You okay?” she countered.

“Mhm. Pretty good,” Matthew blurted as he nodded. He then turned around and sat on the couch.

Xavier glanced at him before taking a peek at Veronica, his eyes glistening. He lowered his gaze for a while before touching his pocket. He then suddenly stood up. “Roni, I… have something to tell you.” Xavier, sporting a suit and a pair of leather shoes, appeared quite dashing, and his aura was unusually daunting. He dropped his usual, prankish act and revealed his stern, mature side.

That side of his was rather unfamiliar to Veronica. She was definitely not used to it. “What is it?” She was visibly surprised by Xavier‘s behavior.

“Do you know why I let you go to Almeida?” With his hand tucked in the pocket of his slack pants, he grasped something tightly in his hand.

“Why? Isn‘t it for charity?”

“Yes, yes, charity. But the main reason was because Dad was there as well.”

“Yup, I saw him. Why? Man, spit it out! Cut the suspense already. You‘re making me nervous here!” One thing Veronica hated the most was when others tortured her with suspense.
