Chapter 55
Elizabeth had only liked Tiffany because she was someone whom Matthew loved. Even though she was always gentle and well-behaved, Elizabeth vaguely felt that she didn’t know the girl that well. In other words, it felt as though there was a thin layer concealing Tiffany’s true self.
“I-It’s nothing. I was just thinking that you must feel lonely living on your own in the Kings Residence. From now on, I will visit you more often when I have the chance,” she said hypocritically with a gentle smile.
“Haha, that would be great. I always feel bored when I’m alone at home…
Just as Elizabeth was about to agree to what Tiffany had said, she changed her mind after realizing that Veronica was now her god-granddaughter. If she allowed Tiffany to freely enter and exit the Kings Residence, it would only cause more trouble for Veronica.
Therefore, she quickly changed her answer. “However, after being alone for so long, I’m afraid I might not be used to having company. I appreciate your kindness, but you should spend more time with Matthew whenever you’re free. The two of you should go out for walks and movies like what most youngsters do.”
“Alright, Grandma.” Tiffany nodded while her heart was full of resignation. She had wanted to go on dates and movies with Matthew, but he wouldn’t give her the chance.
In the meantime, Veronica was kidnapped into an ambulance. As soon as she was taken into the ambulance, she kept her cool despite being in danger and quickly glanced at everything that was in the vehicle, but there was nothing that could help
her.
Bang!
After the door was locked, the four strong men followed her into the ambulance while the ‘attending doctor’ sat in the driver’s seat.
While in despair, she felt an endless sense of chilling fear running down her spine.
Then, she suddenly saw two syringes on a tray in the ambulance. Veronica’s instinct told her that these were either anesthesia or a type of sleeping agent that were prepared for her.
Due to the tight and narrow space within the ambulance, she took the chance and
pretended to stagger to the front to grab the syringes since the other men were seated behind her. After that, she carefully looked back at the men behind her before lifting her feet to kick them.
Veronica had used almost all of her strength on that one kick, so the man who bore the impact fell directly behind, which caused the rest to all fall with him.
There was only a row of seats and although the stretcher had been removed, the space inside the ambulance was still narrow. When the men fell, the others fell with him as well and found it difficult to get up immediately.
At that moment, Veronica seized the opportunity and jumped on top of them with the syringes in her hand. She inserted the needle into the bodies of two men and injected the anesthesia as fast as she could.
“What the hell is this?”
“What are you doing?”
“She stole the anesthesia!”
“Be careful!”
“Ouch…” The kick was so hard that it made her stagger backward and slam onto the back of the ambulance. She then bounced off the wall and kneeled on the ground. “Hiss...”
At the same time, the other man beside him collapsed inside the ambulance too. When she saw this scene, Veronica breathed a huge sigh of relief. As expected, that is an excessive amount of dosage!
Although she had fortunately managed to inject the anesthesia into the two men, it had her thinking about the consequences if she was the one who had been injected with it. Would I be dead or assaulted?
