Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52

Since there was a door separating the small living room and the ward, Elizabeth didn’t hear what the bodyguard had said.

With a slightly chilly face, Matthew.went around the bodyguard and walked toward Veronica’s ward. When he entered, he saw her getting up from bed with the intention to leave.

He entered the ward and coldly questioned, “What are you doing?”

“It’s nothing. I just want to be discharged from the hospital,” she answered.

According to her original plan, she hoped to make a big deal out of the fire so that she could use the public’s concern to expose the Larson Family’s true nature.

Veronica even deliberately released some rumors so that she would be interviewed.

Although she had finally gained the reporters’ attention, Matthew used his personal connections to block them outside the hospital.

“Do you have a death wish?” Matthew stood in front of her while his dashing face radiated some cold air.

Even though his words were harsh, it wasn’t difficult for her to feel his concerns for her.

“I can recover from the burns on my feet and arms at home.”

Since he had saved her, Veronica didn’t want to argue with him.

Besides, when she was in her apartment, she had all the time to escape, but she purposely chose not to do so to ensure that the incident would be big enough to attract the public’s attention.

Therefore, she intentionally burned her feet and arms to make it seem more realistic.

She rose to her full height and decided to head outside, but her path was blocked by Matthew standing at the door of the ward.

Veronica lifted her head and looked at him with annoyance. “Please step aside.

Her attitude was firm as she was determined to leave the hospital.

However, he remained motionless while staring at her with his cold gaze.

The moment their eyes met each other, they were filled with mixed emotions that were impossible for anyone to decipher.

“I don’t want to repeat myself.”

Matthew would not allow her to leave.

Looking at his actions, Veronica didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “Matthew, mind your own business.”

The change in attitude of Veronica and Matthew toward each other was reflected in their subtle interaction.

An example would be his concern for her and how easy it was for her to call him by his name instead of Young Master Matthew), which was what she used to address him by.

The proud man placed both his hands in his pocket and glared at her coldly as if nothing mattered to him.

He remained silent. After Veronica stared at him for a while, she suddenly raised her brow. “Are you concerned about me? Tsk, tsk, could it be that you have fallen in love with me?”

She walked up to the front of Matthew with a sarcastic smile on her tanned and slightly ugly face as her words were filled with mockery.

Listening to her, he couldn’t help but furrow his dark brows. Then, he let out a faint snot. “You’re dreaming.”

For a moment, it felt as though Veronica’s words had instantly pulled him back to reality, making him question himself on his decision to rush into the fire last night to save a woman who had nothing to do with him.

Have I really fallen in love with her? No, I would never fall for such an ugly woman. Does she really think a country girl who is an embarrassment is worthy of my liking? In her dreams!

“If you weren’t Grandma’s god-granddaughter, your death wouldn’t matter to me.”

Matthew gave a reasonable explanation as if he was convincing himself why he would suddenly rush into the fire to save her.

“Veronica? Oh my God. Veronica, are you alright? You scared me.”

She sneered in her heart when she saw Tiffany. Is she that eager to see whether I‘m dead or not? Looks like I‘ve disappointed her.

As a famous lady in Bloomstead, Tiffany, who was crowned the most talented and beautiful woman in the city, couldn’t help but feel deeply insulted by his words. Is he asking me to keep her company? She is just a b*tch who came out of the countryside!
