Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 223 Let’s Make a Bet to Not Be Together

“Matthew, wake up! Matthew? Hey!”

Veronica reached out and tapped his cheeks, but even with her gentle movement, he remained unconscious.

“Matthew, get up right now! Gosh, forget it!”

She failed to wake him up despite several attempts; her hand was raised high in the air as she intended to give him a tight slap, but she later realized that she did not have it in her to do so.

Just as she was in a dilemma on what to do, she noticed that there was a container on the table filled with water.

Matthew must have known that this water was safe to drink; otherwise, he would not have placed it on that spot.

At this point, she did not bother much and all she could instinctively think of was to quench her thirst with it.

She lifted the container of water before checking its condition. It was crystal clear and odorless, so she instantly tipped the entire container of water into her mouth and finished it.

“Phew!”

Wow, I feel like a fish on the shore being thrown back into the sea. I finally feel more alive!

Veronica finished the water and she felt energized instantly. Just as she was about to put down the container, she suddenly realized an important question.

Water? Where does this water come from? Could the way out be connected to the water source, then?

With this epiphany, Veronica’s spirits were immediately lifted as the glimmer of hope for survival shone upon them. She placed down the container and rushed outside.

It took only a few steps before she stopped and recalled the still unconscious Matthew. Worried that he might wake up and panic without her presence, she suddenly thought of her phone after some deliberation.
