Chapter 56 Veronica Was Kidnapped (4)

The person in the car behind the ambulance was so shocked that theyturned the steering wheel and immediately stopped.

Then, Veronica quickly jumped from the ambulance and rolled on theground, but she had hurt herself everywhere.

Since the ambulance siren had been loudly turned on during the entirejourney, no one in the driver's seat could hear what happened in thecompartment.

Therefore, she successfully jumped from the ambulance, but afterfalling on the ground, she wasn't able to stand on her feet due to thepain she felt.

She lay on the ground and watched as the ambulance drove fartheraway to make sure that the people in the compartment didn't followher.

Then, the woman from the vehicle behind alighted from her car andshouted while pointing at her. “Hey, are you blind? Did you know that Ialmost crashed into you?”

“I'm sorry.”

Veronica stood up and bowed to the woman with sincere apologies. Atfirst, she wanted to use her phone to call the police but was scared thatthe Larson Family already had the cops on their side.

In the end, she decided to ask the woman, “Can you give me a ride?"The woman was dressed in a black professional attire with black-rimmed glasses and resembled a corporate elite.

After thoroughly looking at Veronica and the ambulance that droveaway, the woman answered, “There's no way I'm giving you a ride.However, I can call the police for you.”

With a vigilant mind, the woman was naturally being cautious afterwitnessing the shocking situation.

“Then, can you lend me your phone for me to make a call?” Veronicaasked while holding her belly.

She hadn't recovered from that muscular man's fierce kick.

“Alright.”

After the woman handed the phone to her, Veronica gave Cody a call.“Cody, I'm at the intersection of Preston Road and Pines Street, which isfifty meters to the east. I need you to hurry up and pick me up. Rightnow!”

After the call, she returned the phone to the woman, but just as she wasabout to leave, the ambulance sirens were suddenly heard again.Veronica paled at the situation because when both women turned tolook at the direction of the sound, they discovered that the ambulance,which had already driven off, was now turning back.

“Can you please let me hide in your trunk? You can go anywhere youwant, and I'll come out afterward. Is that okay?”

She took the woman by the hand and begged.

When driving the car earlier, the woman saw everything that happenedin the ambulance, including the scene of Veronica jumping from theambulance. Now, to her, Veronica felt like an injured civilian whom sheshould help. Otherwise, she would feel guilty.

“Okay. Quickly go in.”

The woman entered her car and unlocked her trunk.

After thanking her, Veronica went around the back of the car andcrawled into the trunk. She then closed the lid and shouted, “You cango now!”

In the end, she hid inside the woman's trunk. As the sound of theambulance faded into the distance, she finally breathed a huge sigh ofrelief.

Matthew had an ominous feeling after receiving the call from Thomasin the hospital.

Even though Veronica really wanted to leave then, she clearly lookedexhausted when he entered her ward to see her. Not only did sherefuse to sleep, she was even adamant on leaving the hospital.

After connecting her kidnapping and last night's fire to the issue of thehospital's surveillance video today, he couldn't help but realize oneproblem, which was... Veronica had to be in danger!

Ring!

Matthew's phone suddenly rang, and when he glanced at his phone onthe table with a cold gaze, he saw Thomas’ name flashing on thescreen.

He went over to the table and answered the call. “Have you found her?”“I'm currently trying my best to look for Miss Murphy. However, I justreceived a call from Castron, saying that there is a problem with ourbranch there. They need you to travel to Castron immediately to dealwith it.” Thomas briefly explained the situation to Matthew on thephone. Before waiting for Matthew to respond, he quickly continued,“Young Master Matthew, I've already booked a plane ticket and it'sdeparting in half an hour.”

There weren't a lot of scheduled flights from Bloomstead to Castron, sohe could only book the earliest one since the subsequent one wasseven hours after the current flight.

As the issue in Castron was an emergency, they were running out oftime.

Matthew had always prioritized his work, but after hearing whatThomas said earlier today, he was slightly hesitant.

“Matthew, come in,” Elizabeth called from her ward, so he hung up thephone and entered the room.

As he entered, she waved at him and said in a stern tone, “I justreceived a call from Castron about the problem there. You must headthere right now.”

She had also received a call at the same time as him.

Elizabeth initially thought that Matthew would immediately pack histhings and rush to Castron after learning about the situation, but shewas surprised to see his hesitation.

Apart from Elizabeth, even Tiffany was aware of his expression.Everyone in the business world knew that Matthew was a workaholic,but he was now delaying his work because of Veronica.

Since when did Veronica become this important to him? Tiffanyremained calm on the surface, but jealousy was already filling her heart.“Grandma, I'm not comfortable with Matthew going to Castron alone.Can you let me accompany him?” Tiffany latched onto Elizabeth's armand asked affectionately.

This was a good opportunity for Tiffany to spend some time alone withMatthew in Castron, so she didn’t want to miss out.

More importantly, she realized that his concern for Veronica had farexceeded her expectation, so she had to keep an eye on him to preventhim from replaceing any clues that could bring the entire Larson Familyinto chaos.

Elizabeth didn't like the idea of having Tiffany around her all the time,so she saw this as a good reason to get Tiffany off her back.

Therefore, she nodded her head in agreement and looked up atMatthew. “I can see that Tiffany's love for you is sincere. You shouldbring her to Castron with you. After all, she is your fiancee,” she saidfervently.

Her tone was commanding as if there was no place for negotiation.Listening to her, Matthew's eyes turned slightly cold, but before hecould decline, Tiffany revealed a gentle smile and thanked Elizabeth inexcitement. “Thank you, Grandma. I'm glad to have you around.”

“No need to thank me. Time is running out. You should go back nowand pack your stuff. We can't afford to be late,” Elizabeth reminded her.“Okay. I'll head back and pack my bags now.”

Tiffany didn't expect to easily receive Elizabeth's approval, so shequickly stood up and told Matthew, “Matthew, wait for me. I'll be backsoon.”

Even though they were engaged, she had always stayed in the LarsonResidence and never had the chance to be intimate with Matthew.

This time, if they were to travel to Castron together, she had to makethe most of this opportunity to turn herself into the “real’ Mrs. Kings.Meanwhile, the man glared at her with a chilly face that bore a hint ofdispleasure.

Even though Tiffany had seen Matthew's expression, she ignored it andwalked past him to leave as she only wanted to hurry home to retrieveher passport.
