Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31

In that instant, Matthew’s heart wrenched, and this unknown feeling was something he had never felt before. Pushing aside the coffee table in front of the couch, he then walked to Veronica and crouched down to 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 a trembling voice which sounded weaker than a fly.

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

“Fine, I won’t touch you. Get up by yourself if you’re able to!” Standing aside, 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 gritted teeth.

Her lips were white as sheet as she looked at Matthew. Even though she was in so much pain that her eyes were bloodshot, she was able to squeeze 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 was sweating all over, and her hair was sticking to her face, which made her look sorrowful and pathetic.

After speaking, she took a step forward. As though her legs were weighed down with lead, her steps were heavy, and every step was as difficult as walking in a mud puddle that reached up to her knees.

Meanwhile, blood stained the clean floor, and the parts where she walked 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 unyielding attitude.

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

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

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

“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 the living room. In the hallway, the neighbors on the same level woke up from the commotion and stuck their heads out to check out what was going 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 amongst themselves.

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

“Yes, she’s more than two months pregnant and has consumed a huge amount of motherwort.”

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

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

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

The next day when Veronica woke up, she opened her eyes and looked around the room. Staring at the drip above her, she secretly felt relieved. Luckily, I‘m still alive.

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