Chapter 31 Miscarriage (3)

In that instant, Matthew's heart wrenched, and this unknown feelingwas something he had never felt before. Pushing aside the coffee tablein front of the couch, he then walked to Veronica and crouched downto pick her up.

The moment he touched her, she reached out and pushed him. “Don't...touch... me..."

Even when pushing him, she was weak and lifeless, and she spoke in atrembling voice which sounded weaker than a fly.

From her eyes, he saw her hatred for himself. As though she hadstepped on his bottom line, he was angered.

“Fine, I won't touch you. Get up by yourself if you're able to!” Standingaside, he watched from the sideline indifferently.

Holding on to the coffee table, Veronica rolled over with great difficulty.Kneeling on both knees, she pressed her forehead on the floor,mustered the leftover strength in her body, and stood up with grittedteeth.

Her lips were white as sheet as she looked at Matthew. Even thoughshe was in so much pain that her eyes were bloodshot, she was able tosqueeze out a sarcastic smile. “I've said it before. Even if... I die, I won't...give birth to your child. I... did it.”

She was smiling.

Standing with great difficulty and trembling on both legs, she wassweating all over, and her hair was sticking to her face, which made herlook sorrowful and pathetic.

After speaking, she took a step forward. As though her legs wereweighed down with lead, her steps were heavy, and every step was asdifficult as walking in a mud puddle that reached up to her knees.Meanwhile, blood stained the clean floor, and the parts where shewalked past had blood over them.

At that moment, the fury in Matthew's chest faded away little by little.In its place was surprise as well as admiration for Veronica's unyieldingattitude.

Never before had he seen such a girl who was stubborn andheadstrong; it was as if she had a halo over her head, and he wasimpressed.

After she took a few steps, everything in front of Veronica's eyes turnedblack, and she fell to the floor.

Next to her, Matthew quickly lunged forward and caught her just intime.

“Young Master Matthew, she’s all bloody. Let me do it,” Thomas said.Ignoring him, Matthew held Veronica in his arms and walked out of theliving room. In the hallway, the neighbors on the same level woke upfrom the commotion and stuck their heads out to check out what wasgoing on.

“What happened?”

“Oh, my god! Why is this woman covered in blood?”

“Who knows!"

It's so terrifying!”

The neighbors on the same floor whispered as they discussed amongstthemselves.

In the meantime, Matthew walked to the elevator, and when the doorsslid open, the paramedics happened to be in it. “Did you call theemergency number?”

"Yes, she’s more than two months pregnant and has consumed a hugeamount of motherwort.”

“What happened? Quickly, she’s bleeding profusely,” the paramedicsaid.

After that, Veronica was sent to a nearby hospital with Matthew goingalong in the same ambulance while Thomas drove behind. In thehospital, she was sent to the emergency room, where they first stoppedher bleeding before pumping her stomach.

Stained with blood all over his body, Matthew stood in the hallway witha cigarette between his fingers, smoking silently.

Standing at the side, Thomas felt that his boss’ face was covered withdark clouds, and he consoled, “Young Master Matthew, don't worry.She'll be fine. But it's all her own fault for taking so many tablets. Shemust be hoping to die.”

His words sounded awful to the ears, and Matthew merely cast him anicy look instead of saying anything.

After being in the emergency room for three hours, Veronica was rolledout, and the doctor went to Matthew, saying, “We've stopped thebleeding on the patient and pumped her stomach. However, the baby...is gone.”

“What about her?” Matthew asked coldly.

“She was sent here just in time. If it was any later, she might have diedof blood loss even if the medication didn't kill her,” the doctorlamented, sounding a little fearful.

“Thanks for your help.” With nothing left to say, Matthew turnedaround and followed the rolling bed into the ward.

In the ward, Veronica was dressed in the patient's clothes as she lay onthe hospital bed with a drip next to her. Perhaps because it was toopainful, she was furrowing her brows tightly even in her dreams. On theother hand, her ordinary face, which was also a little ugly, seemedsurprisingly pleasing to Matthew's eyes now.

The next day when Veronica woke up, she opened her eyes and lookedaround the room. Staring at the drip above her, she secretly feltrelieved. Luckily, I'm still alive.

With a sigh, she twisted her head and looked out the window, feeling alittle heartbroken for the lost child.

It's my own flesh and blood, and before it can even take a look at thiscolorful world, it's already gone...

“You're awake?"

All of a sudden, she heard someone speaking. Lifting her head a little,she then noticed that Matthew was seated on the couch on the side.

A smile spread across her pale lips. “The baby is already gone. So, whatare you still doing here, Young Master Matthew? Are you pretending tocare? That's not like you at all.”

After a close shave with death, Veronica was still feeling fearful. In thedays ahead, she would definitely live well, but she had no regrets foracting on impulse last night.

Not one bit at all.

“You said so much without losing a breath. Looks like you won't diesoon.” He stood up and walked to her before placing a document onthe bed.

Supporting her weak body, she sat up. “What is this?”

As she spoke, she reached out and opened the brown paper bag totake out the document within—the information on the car accidentcase which she asked Matthew to investigate.

“On the way back to Bloomstead when the private investigator youhired was bringing the driver with him, the driver was taken away by hisenemies and then killed. His name was Donnie Freimann, and he was ahighly wanted criminal in the country who offended many peoplebefore. In this case, your parents are really innocent, but since Donniewas an orphan, you won't receive any compensation.” Very simply,Matthew explained the situation to Veronica

If it was him from before, he wouldn't say so many things in one shot.Maybe because of what happened last night, the haughty man was nowfeeling a little guilty.

Veronica, who was flipping the document, stopped abruptly and liftedher gaze at him, asking, “There's nothing else?”

“What else do you want?”

Snorting, she then lifted her gaze at him and passed him back thebrown paper bag without finishing reading the file. “No, nothing. Isuddenly remember that the child is gone now, so I have no reason toask you to investigate anything. Take it away.”

Although the Larsons had taken extra care to handle this matter, withMatthew's ability, it was definitely possible for him to replace out the truth.The only reason he couldn't was because he was engaged to Tiffanyand was hiding the truth for the Larsons on purpose. At the end of theday, they were a family.

Matthew's handsome face fell. “Veronica Murphy, don't take a yardwhen I offered you an inch.”

“You must be kidding, Young Master Matthew.” Raising her brows athim, she appeared especially calm as she sighed and turned her headto look out the window. “Before this, we met by chance, and it was allbecause...”

Because that day you were in the accident, and I saved you out ofgreed, she finished in her head.

However, all that was in the past, and she didn't want to bring it upanymore. Hence, she said, “I don't hate you; I just hate myself for notbeing powerful enough. Now that the child is gone, we have nothing todo with each other anymore. From now on, you'll walk on your pathwhile I carry on with my life. I won't appear before your eyes again, soplease don't ever show up in my world as well.”
