Chapter 51 Saving Veronica From the Fire (4)

Veronica was transferred overnight to Saint Hospital at 5:00AM.

She didn't reject the arrangement because she knew that Tiffany wasalso in the same hospital at the moment. If I'm transferred to the samehospital, she'll definitely come to have a “talk’ with me. By then, it willonly be more convenient for me to gather more evidence.

Because of that, she initially didn't dare to sleep as she was afraid thatthe Larson Family would try to harm her again after failing to do so thelast time.

From early morning until 8:00AM, Veronica felt extremely sleepy, but atthe same time, she didn't dare to fall asleep.

Then, Matthew showed up in her ward.

"How are you feeling?”

He was now back to his usual cold, handsome self. His short hair waswell-groomed and there were no wrinkles on his suit, giving off theaura of his elegance.

When he approached her, she noticed the gauze wrapped around theback of his hand.

“Are you hurt?” It was rare for Veronica to speak to him in a calmmanner.

It was not for any other reason; it was simply because Matthew rushedinto the fire to save her yesterday.

She would always be grateful for what he did.

The man lowered his head and glanced at his bandaged handunconcerned. “I've asked someone to look into the two people whokidnapped you yesterday,” he uttered

“Oh.” She hummed her reply without much emotion because... sheknew that her two kidnappers were of course taken away by her men.“Thank you for what you did yesterday.”

No matter what, she was still grateful to him.

While sitting on the nursing chair, Matthew couldn't help but feel alittle concerned when he looked at Veronica lying on the bed with hereyes so heavy that it could barely stay open.

He thought that the reason why she didn't dare to sleep was because ofthe shock she endured yesterday.

When he looked at her tanned face, he found her particularly beautifulas she was now not as ugly as he first thought she was. Maybe... shegets more beautiful the more I look at her.

Ever since last night, the image of Veronica on the bathroom floor hadalways showed up in Matthew's mind whenever he wasn't thinkingabout something else.

At that moment, he felt as though his heart had almost stopped sincehe was stunned by the shock for a little while.

He thought that she had died after inhaling the large amount of smokethat filled the bathroom.

When he reached out to her nose and made sure that she wasn't dead,he felt like a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

To Matthew, what he did last night was probably the craziest thing heever did in his life!

“Why did you show up in my house?” a curious Veronica asked.

"Xavier told me that you were missing, so I went over there to replace you,”he answered.

After nodding her head, she asked again, “Why did you save meyesterday?”

She originally expected an explanation from him, but he coldly uttered,“It was a fireman who saved you.”

“It wasn't you?” Veronica furrowed her brows as she couldn'tunderstand why Matthew refused to admit to it.

“You're not worthy of me saving you.” The man lifted his eyes, revealinghis indifference.

Looking at his cold attitude, she began to question herself. Was it reallynot him who saved me yesterday? If it wasn't him, where did the woundon the back of his hand come from?

After that, Matthew rose to his full height and left the ward with a coldface.

Thomas, who was guarding outside the ward, closed the door and leftafter Matthew.

Looking back at Veronica's ward, Thomas couldn't help but feelconfused. “Young Master Matthew, you clearly saved Miss Murphyyesterday. Why won't you admit to it?”

When he rushed to the scene and saw his own boss carrying Veronicaout of the fire, he was completely left dumbfounded.

He was so shocked that his mouth was gaping because in his memory,his boss wouldn't risk his life for anyone!

The moment his words came out, Matthew paused in his footsteps andhe turned to stare at Thomas.

Those sharp eyes were enough to send shivers down Thomas’ spine ashe couldn't help but take a gulp of his saliva.

“This matter ends here.” Matthew warned him never to mention itagain.

After that, the man went straight to Elizabeth's ward.

As for Thomas, he stood and watched his boss’ back as he understoodthat Matthew just didn’t want to admit to his passive feelings. Maybehis pride is preventing him from accepting the fact that he has fallen inlove with an ugly and ordinary girl from the countryside.

After entering the ward, Matthew could see Elizabeth on the bedreceiving the drip treatment.

Seeing the gauze wrapped around his wound, she asked, “Whathappened to you? Why is your hand injured?”

“I accidentally burned myself,” he answered casually.

“You're an adult now, so you should be more careful. Oh, dear.”Elizabeth sighed before looking at the intravenous drip. “How long do Ihave to stay here?”

“The blood clot in your brain hasn't dissipated, so you'll need to stayhere for a while.”

"Where's Veronica? She promised that she would come to visit me, sowhere is she?” The moment she mentioned Veronica, she cast ascrutinizing gaze on Matthew. “Did you do something to anger her andmake her leave?”

The man’s dashing face darkened while a hint of resignation surfaced."Tiffy has left too,” he uttered.

It felt as though he was asking why Elizabeth didn't say anything whenhe allowed Tiffany to leave.

“Now that Tiffy is gone, you can ask Veronica to come and visit me.Otherwise, I'll be bored.”

When Veronica previously stayed at the Kings Residence for a few days,the two of them had mingled with each other well. Elizabeth wasparticularly satisfied with Veronica's simple and frank personality.However, Matthew couldn't understand why she had liked Veronica thatmuch, but in order to allow Elizabeth to properly recuperate, he couldonly lie, “She's away on a business trip.”

The doctor had instructed Elizabeth to be on bed rest for a week andnot to move because of the brain hemorrhage. On top of that, she mustnot allow herself to be angry, so lying was the only way for Matthew.“Hmph, I may be old, but my brain is still functional. Veronica doesn'thave a job, so why does she have a business trip?”

“She went to work in Xavier's company.”

“What? She went to Xavier's company? Oh my, that boy isn't reliable atall. He may end up deceiving that silly girl. Why don't you arrange forher to work in your company?”

Matthew was rendered speechless. I don't think I have ever seen herthis concerned about me before. “Not everyone can join theSpinfluence Group,” he uttered coldy while crossing his legs. With hishead down, he looked at the company's information that was sent tohis phone.

Unexpectedly, his words angered Elizabeth, so she slapped his arm androared, “What are you saying? Veronica is my goddaughter. What's theproblem? Do my words not mean anything anymore? Am I no longerthe head of the Kings Family?!"

A manchild was probably the best way to describe her as she wouldthrow a tantrum from time to time like a child

While raising his dark brows, Matthew had no choice but to say, “Afteryou are discharged from the hospital, you can do whatever you want.”“That's more like it.” Elizabeth grunted coldly with an arrogant gestureas if she had just won their bickering.

Knock! Knock!

Then, a bodyguard came and knocked on the door.

When Matthew came out, the bodyguard said to him, “Young MasterMatthew, Miss Murphy said that she wants to be discharged from thehospital.”
