Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 216 A Barefoot Veronica

“You’ve dislocated your knee cap. Hold the phone.”

The man gently touched the wound and made a basic analysis based on how the bone was slightly protruding out of place.

Under these conditions, Veronica did not argue with Matthew as she obediently took the phone and shone the light on her knee.

She then saw the man lift her leg up gently before he tilted his head a bit to look at her and say, “It might be a bit painful. I’ll count to three and then join it back.”

“Alright.”

Taking a deep breath, Veronica gripped her hands tightly while her heart was beating all over the place.

She feared feeling pain very much, so she was afraid that she might trash around in pain when Matthew set her bones back.

“One…”

“Two…”

“Argh! F*ck! Matthew, didn’t you say you would count to three?! Why did you do it at two?!”

Shouting in pain, Veronica slapped Matthew’s shoulder and pinched it tightly as the sensation made her breathe in deeply.

“Try moving it and see if everything is fine.”

Matthew, who was facing the woman’s sudden outburst, did not seem to mind her screaming as he was more concerned about her wound.

Lifting her leg, Veronica moved it a bit to find it was working just fine, so she immediately stood up and walked around. Except for the pain from the torn skin hurting a bit, she found that everything was functioning normally.

“I can walk just fine now. Thanks.”

She smiled at Matthew before focusing her attention on the dark basement they were in, making her smile vanish and replaced with a sigh. “What kind of place is this? There isn’t even a signal. We’ll have to find a way out, otherwise we’ll soon be… Ah!”

Spinning the phone around the basement, Veronica saw a skeleton in a corner, causing her to scream out loud.
