Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Veronica nodded. Immediately after, she turned her head to look at Xavier and said in a voice that only

the two of them could hear, “Xavier Crawford, I‘ll kill you.”

Although the two of them were just acting, Daniella remained in a very good mood till noon that day, and

she even finished the lunch that Veronica brought. After the lunch, she never mentioned wanting to

discharge from the hospital again. Once she finished eating, Veronica and Xavier left the ward.

Daniella sent the two of them to the elevator. “Xavier, take care on your way back.”

“Sure thing, Mrs. Murphy,” Xavier put his arms around Veronica‘s shoulders and replied very politely.

“Don‘t buy me any more things when you come next time, okay?”

“Understood, Mrs. Murphy. You should go back and rest.”

“Well, then I will go visit Mr. Murphy for a bit.” As she said that, Daniella turned around and left.

Veronica was speechless. Was that it? My existence is nothing to them already? That quickly?Ding. The

elevator doors closed.

In an instant, Veronica‘s expression changed. Immediately, she brushed away Xavier‘s hand and kicked

him in the shin. “Xavier Crawford, are you out of your mind? I told you to act–not take advantage of me!”

“Ouch…” Xavier rubbed his leg in pain. “If I become a cripple because of this, you‘ll have to support me

for the rest of your life. Besides, it was just a show; why are you so serious?”

“Then why did you kiss me?”

“The ‘plot‘ called for it. What else could I do but play along?”

“You! A*shole!”

Veronica‘s head began to hurt the more she quarreled with Xavier. At that point, she found it pointless to

talk to him and proceeded to take off the necklace, but was stopped by Xavier. “If you take the necklace

off now, your mother will be suspicious tomorrow.”

“Nevertheless, I can‘t have this, it is too expensive.”

“I bought it at a roadside stall for 23 bucks. If you still think it‘s expensive, you can buy me more mutton

skewers when we have dinner tonight.”

“Well, I guess that‘s fine.” Veronica bought what Xavier said, so she didn‘t think much about it.

The two walked out of the elevator and passed through the lobby of the inpatient department. Right at

that moment, a group of doctors and nurses in white coats approached, and in front of them were

Matthew and Thomas, looking as if they were some sort of celebrities.

When Veronica saw Matthew, Matthew was also looking at her, then his eyes finally fell on Xavier. At that

exact moment, Xavier had his arms around Veronica‘s shoulders, and the two of them chatted and

laughed like good friends. Immediately, Matthew‘s calm face burst into stormy waves, but he still

managed to perfectly conceal all of his emotions within a split second.

It was just that the two passed each other this time, and neither spoke to the other. Xavier only looked at

Veronica and chatted with her the whole time, so he didn‘t notice Matthew passing by.

They then exited the hospital, and Xavier left. When Veronica was riding her motorcycle and was about

to drive away, the phone in her pocket rang. When she took it out, she saw that the call was from

Matthew. She frowned in annoyance. “Hi, Young Master Matthew. How can I help?” Like bullets, her

words escaped her lips with an obviously nasty attitude.

“Come to your father‘s ward in five minutes. Otherwise, I will let the experts leave immediately.”

“What? Okay, okay. I‘ll be there right now.”

As soon as she heard that there were experts with him, Veronica suddenly remembered the group of

‘angels in white‘ who were following closely behind Matthew, and she immediately ran back with her

phone in hand.

At that time, the medical experts were discussing Tony‘s condition in the office. Matthew walked out of

the office as he was bored and walked toward Tony‘s ward. When he passed by the nurses‘ station,

several nurses were still chatting about the scene with Veronica and Xavier just now.

“Hey, girls. Why do you think Veronica Murphy has such a good life? She only looks average, yet such a

handsome guy confessed to her.”

“Huh? That‘s impossible. She is so ugly—it would be nice if someone even liked her to begin with. How

could she get such a handsome guy on top of that?”

“It‘s real! Why would I lie to you? We saw it with our own eyes and even recorded a video.”

“Let me take a look.”

Matthew overheard the conversations of those nurses and slowed down on purpose, only to hear their

gossip. Immediately, he thought of Xavier, who was with Veronica just now, and he already understood

the situation.

“My God. This guy is so handsome.”

“I know, right? He even kneeled down on one knee to confess and gave her a necklace. My boyfriend

has to propose to me like this in the future.”

“Damn, I‘m going crazy over his looks.”

The nurses only kept gossiping—they obviously didn‘t notice Matthew, who was passing by. Originally,

he found a team of experts for Veronica‘s father, but now it

seemed that it was no longer necessary. With that in mind, Matthew walked into the elevator with a

gloomy face and called Thomas. “There is no need for the expert team to treat Tony Murphy anymore.”

“Young Master Matthew, what‘s the matter?” But before Thomas could get an answer, the call was hung

up from the other end of the line.

Matthew‘s face was as black as the bottom of a burned pot, and he took the elevator down to the first

floor. When the elevator door opened, Veronica was standing outside the elevator–she seemed out of

breath.

“W–Why did you come down? Didn‘t you say that you hired a team of experts for my dad? Are they in his

ward already?” Veronica asked Matthew. She then said, “I‘ll go up and have a look first.”

The man stood upright, his hands in the pockets of his trousers. He then glanced coldly at the new

necklace on Veronica‘s neck. The jewel glimmered under the light of the elevator, making it exceptionally

dazzling in his eyes.

“No need. I already told them to leave.” He brushed past Veronica and walked away.

In an obvious state of confusion, Veronica immediately looked at the time on her watch. “Hold on. I only

took two minutes, which is obviously faster than the five minutes you gave me. How can you break your

promise?”
