Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Veronica’s eyes brightened with hope. “Is it my husband? Have my two sons come to see me?”

The doctor patiently reassured her, saying, “You will find out once you go out and see for yourself.”

Eagerly, Veronica hurriedly got out of bed, hastily getting dressed and vigorously combing her hair in front of the glass window. She adjusted her hospital gown, tying a pair of long johns around her waist and securing the loose gown. In her mind, she believed she looked incredibly fashionable and nodded with satisfaction.

In the reception room, Veronica’s wish came true as she spotted Anthony. Overjoyed, she rushed toward him, exclaiming, “Darling, you’ve come to see me!”

However, Charlie intercepted her path, coming to a halt in front of her.

Veronica’s mood suddenly soured, and she scolded, “Who do you think you are? How dare you block my way! If you don’t watch out, I’ll have my husband deal with you!”

Charlie glanced at Anthony, seeking his guidance.

Anthony nonchalantly instructed, “Let her pass,”

Charlie appeared perplexed. Given Veronica’s current state, retrieving the watch would prove challenging.

However, he reassured himself that money had a way of resolving difficulties. If Veronica refused to cooperate, he could persuade the doctor to administer a sedative before searching for the watch.

Veronica felt a surge of satisfaction as Charlie stepped aside. Being a member of the Crawford family, she expected to be treated with respect, just as it should be.

With a bashful demeanor, Veronica approached Anthony and softly addressed him, “Darling…”

Anthony raised his hand, placing a talisman on her forehead.
