Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411 Revealing the Mark on Her Body

When the car halted at the entrance of the hospital, Thomas turned to remind Matthew, who was deep in thoughts. “Young Master Matthew, we’re here.”

How would Matthew not realize that? With clenched fists, he glanced at the building as a pall of fear cast upon him. It took him a while before alighting from the car.

The cold breeze brushed across his cheeks, dispelling the trepidation in his heart. Yes, it was fear.

Never once had he experienced such a feeling before. Now that he had a taste of it, he knew how terrifying it was to have his loved one lying in the emergency room.

He was aware that Xavier would not make a detour midway if it was not for Veronica’s critical condition. Taking a few minutes to calm himself down, Matthew regained his calm demeanor before striding into the hospital and heading toward the emergency room on the twelfth floor.

Despite his pallid expression along the way, his heart was racing against his chest. Even his fingers in his pockets were slightly trembling; the ever dauntless man was now plagued by fear.

Since it was an ordinary hospital, there were relatively a lot of visitors and patients during the day, so the elevator was filled to the brim. Glimpsing at the cramped elevator, he decided to take the stairs.

At first, Matthew ascended the stairs with steady steps before his footsteps began to pick up the pace and he began to run upstairs.

Thomas was following behind him and could sense the change in Matthew’s emotions while knowing that Matthew could not face and deny the reality at the beginning. When he was finally willing to accept the cruel reality, he was already sprinting up the flight of stairs.

At long last, the level-headed man slumped into distress because of this.

Once Matthew arrived on the twelfth floor, he found the emergency room Veronica was at whereas Xavier was nowhere to be seen.

Standing at the empty corridor, he zeroed in on the lit lamp outside the emergency room and zoned out.

After a moment of silence, he ordered Thomas, “Find Xavier at all costs!”

“Yes, Young Master Matthew.” Thomas wheeled around to make a phone call.

Meanwhile, Matthew was irritated by his ringing phone. In a worry that the disturbing ringtone might affect the surgery behind the doors, he switched it to vibration mode.

The clock ticked with him standing there until he felt the numbness in his legs. He then turned around and walked to the other side of the corridor. Next, he took a cigarette and lit it before started smoking.

A nurse noticed and intended to thwart him since smoking and noises were off-limits in the hospital, yet Thomas stopped her by telling her something. In the end, she took a glance at Matthew and just left.

Caleb, Miguel, Skyler and the others arrived afterward. The first thing they saw was Matthew leaning against the wall outside of the emergency room with his right leg crooked. His hand delved in his pocket while the other was pinching a cigarette. There were six pieces of cigarette butts next to his feet as the strong smell of nicotine filled the corridor.

They exchanged looks before approaching Matthew. It was not until then that they noticed that his hand was actually slightly shaking. It was their first time seeing him in such a pathetic state.

…

On the other side, the Larson couple was at the underground parking lot of the hospital. While they took the front seats of the recreational vehicle, Crayson was standing with an upright attitude in front of a woman wearing a mask.

“Master, Skyler is a skillful doctor. Will we be able to pass it without giving the game away?” He was quite concerned.

The woman handed him a delicate bottle. “Let her take this, then no one will find out about it; not even the greatest doctor in the world can. As for others, someone will contact you soon.”
