Chapter 18
“Oh, you‘re right.”
Suddenly coming to a realization, Xavier took off his coat and sunglasses before restyling his short blow–dried hair into a more ordinary hairstyle in the rearview mirror of the car. Once he was done, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Veronica. “How‘s this?”
“It‘s not bad.”
“Then, let‘s go.” Saying that, Xavier opened the car door and took out four supplements from the inside.
“Why are you still bringing things?” Veronica was about to take him to the grocery store to buy a fruit basket. She had not expected him to come prepared.
“What kind of boyfriend visits his future mother–in–law without bringing any gifts?” Xavier raised his eyebrows at her with a smile.
“All right, I‘ll transfer the money to you later, then.”
“It‘s fine.”
The two entered Saint Hospital together. On the way, Xavier asked about Veronica‘s adoptive parents and took the opportunity to find out her birthday as well. Although he said it was to ensure he didn‘t slip up in front of her mother later, he actually just wanted to know more about her.
Even if everyone thought Veronica was a little ugly, Xavier felt that Veronica was genuine, calm, and did not try to butter up to him; she was unique in her own way.
After reaching the 21st floor of the inpatient department, Veronica took Xavier into the ward and announced, “Mom, I‘m here with your food.”
Xavier walked in with Veronica. When he saw Daniella, he contained his playboy demeanor and naturally flashed a polite smile at Daniella. “Mrs. Murphy, I‘m Roni‘s boyfriend, Xavier. I just came back from a business trip, so please forgive me for only being able to visit you now.”
Daniella glanced at Xavier. He was dressed in a white shirt and slacks with short black hair and handsome features, and he looked like a capable and neat man.
