The Life of A Billionaire’s Wife
Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Xavier Gives Flowers

When Veronica, who was resting on the bed, saw Elizabeth, sheimmediately sat up. “Old Mrs. Kings.”

Out of courtesy, Veronica still called her “Old Mrs. Kings’.

Naturally, Veronica knew deep down that Matthew and Tiffany couldget engaged because they had gotten Elizabeth's consent.

When she was pregnant, Elizabeth never allowed Tiffany to enter theKings Residence, but at this moment, things weren't as they should be.Veronica didn’t know whether it was because Elizabeth couldn'tconvince Matthew, or if she was two-faced.

Elizabeth was dressed in a black velvet dress. Despite being over 70years old, with short curly hair and light makeup, she still had anoutstanding temperament.

She walked to her bedside and looked at the frail Veronica. Althoughshe was a little distressed, she was also dissatisfied. “Even thoughMatthew is engaged to Tiffany, you shouldn't have gotten rid of yourchild this way.”

The child in her womb was the great-grandson of the Kings Family, andElizabeth had been looking forward to it for many years.

It took a lot of effort for them to have a child; no one thought that inthe end, it was futile.

Although Veronica liked Elizabeth, she was undoubtedly upset whenshe heard the statement.

With pale lips, she leaned against the head of the bed. The corners ofher lips curled up, and she smiled coldly. “Old Mrs. Kings, you think thatI should have given birth to the child?”

Veronica never considered herself to be a reproduction tool.

Although in order to replace out the truth behind the car accident and totreat her adoptive father, she could use the child in her womb as a“sacrifice’, she knew that the Kings Family would never treat the child inher abdomen badly.

But, who would've thought that Matthew would end up gettingengaged to Tiffany!

She absolutely couldn't accept letting her child call Tiffany “mom’ afterit was born!

i

Elizabeth felt apologetic toward Veronica, but she couldn't help sighing.“Sigh, although I'm upset that you got rid of the child, I sort ofunderstand you. You're a good girl—much better than Tiffany. But, I'mgetting old, so I can't make decisions about marriage matters anymore.Matthew just doesn't have the luck.”

Hearing what Elizabeth said earlier made Veronica feel a little unhappy,but since Elizabeth was willing to voice it all out, Veronica did indeedfeel slightly at ease.

“I'm not worthy of Matthew, and I don't have the expectation to marryinto the Kings Family,” Veronica answered truthfully.

Elizabeth stared at her, feeling puzzled. “So many women want to marryinto the Kings Family. You're the first one I've met to not want that.”Veronica had stayed at the Kings Residence with Elizabeth for threedays.

During those three days, Elizabeth originally wanted Veronica toconceive the eldest grandson of the Kings Family, but she didn't expectthat spending time together those three days had made her develop aliking toward this diligent and genuine girl.

She glanced back at the housekeeper behind her, who then steppedforward and handed something to Veronica.

“Veronica, I know that you're a good child, but your expenses are tight,and you even have to treat your parents. This money can be regardedas the Kings Family's compensation to you.”

After saying that, Elizabeth expressed her sincere apologies. “Althoughyou and Matthew sleeping together was a mistake, at the end of theday, you're innocent.”

Of course, she was unhappy that the unborn child was gone, but therewas no getting it back. Even if she was angry with Veronica, the childwouldn't return.

Moreover, Veronica was an outsider who only got involved because of amisunderstanding.

“No. There's no need for that.”

Veronica thought that Elizabeth had come to punish her; she didn'texpect that she had come to make it up to her.

“Old Mrs. Kings, although I'm poor, I'll work hard to earn money tosupport my parents. As for this...”

Veronica handed the check back to Elizabeth. “You should take it back. Iwon't use it.”

“Is it too little?”

Elizabeth shot her a distasteful glare.

“The child is gone, so I no longer have any involvement with the KingsFamily. Hence, there's no need for me to accept any “favors’ from theKings Family.”

“What do you mean “favors? It's just a little compensation. If you don’taccept it, I won't feel at ease.”

“If I accept it, I would be the one feeling “uneasy".”

Stuffing the check into the housekeeper's hand, Veronica said toElizabeth, “Old Mrs. Kings, I'm very happy that you came to see metoday, but... I'm a little tired and want to sleep.”

She was indirectly asking her to leave.

Now, Veronica just wanted to sever her relationship with the KingsFamily.

"You..."

Elizabeth was quite helpless, so she could only nod her head and agree.“Okay, then. Have a good rest.”

She got up, and the housekeeper came over to help.

“Have a good rest and take care of yourself, Veronica,” she exhortedsolemnly. “Since you've suffered from a miscarriage, you must take careof your body. After all, you are a girl.”

“Thank you, Old Mrs. Kings.”

From Elizabeth's “questioning’ since she came in just now to her currentconcern, Veronica felt as if she was on a roller coaster.

Nevertheless, at least she knew that Elizabeth was a sensible person.Before leaving, Elizabeth said, “About this matter, the Kings Family owesyou. If at any point you need any help, just give me a call. I'll definitelyhelp you if I can.”

"Okay. I appreciate your thoughts, Old Mrs. Kings.”

Veronica didn’t take her words to heart. After experiencing so manythings recently, Veronica just wanted to be alone for a while.

The doctor said that she suffered from severe bleeding after taking themedicine that day and needed to be hospitalized for a few days beforeshe could go home to slowly recuperate.

However, Veronica had lingering fears.

As she impulsively wanted to get rid of the child that day, sheoverdosed on the medicine, but she didn't expect it to almost kill her.Fortunately, she didn't die. Otherwise, her adoptive parents would havesuffered.

In the next few days, Xavier came over to have dinner with her almostevery day, staying for two hours before leaving.

During this period, Veronica deliberately went to the garden at the backof the hospital to send a video to Daniella.

The garden had a nice view and looked like a park, so she lied that shewas on a business trip and video called her adoptive mother when shetook a walk in the park.

After being hospitalized for a week, Veronica went through theprocedures for her discharge.

Carrying her luggage out after being discharged from the hospital, shefound Xavier in a car waiting for her at the entrance of the hospital.Dressed in gray casual clothes, he wore silver-gray sunglasses, and heheld a bouquet of flowers in his arms. “Congratulations on yourdischarge.”

“Why are you here?”

Veronica was a little surprised to see Xavier.

She didn't tell anyone about her discharge from the hospital today, sohow could Xavier possibly know?

“As long as I want to replace out, there's nothing I wouldn't know.”

Xavier took the luggage from Veronica's hand, stuffed the flowers intoher hand, and smoothly wrapped his arms around her shoulders, as ifthey were buddies. “Now that you're discharged, what do you plan todo? You've already quit your job at Twilight Club, right? Do you want toconsider working at my company?”
