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.

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.

“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.

simply a lie to get you out of the awkwardness. But this time, I wanted for Dad to get to know you and see you for the real you, so that he could fully accept you. And that was why I sent you to Almeida.” Pausing his words, he pulled something out of his pocket. He then opened his palm, revealing a heart–shaped, sapphire velvet box, to which he opened
