Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 521

Chapter 521 He Is Actually Alive

After all, she had heard them calling out to her from beneath, but she was too tired and depressed to say anything as she was overwhelmed by the news of Matthew’s death.

”Please leave. I need some time alone.” All Veronica wanted was to be alone as she was still in agony and didn’t want anyone to be near her. The sobbing and trembling in her voice were heartbreaking for Matthew to hear.

As he heard her cry, his hands couldn’t help but twitch as he stood by the side, wanting to hold her in his arms. Then, he opened his mouth and called her, ”Roni.” His tone was gentle and yearning as he called her by her name.

Veronica stiffened when she heard his voice and was stunned momentarily; she was afraid that it was just her imagination. Then, she turned sharply to look at the person beside her.

The night was dark, and she couldn’t clearly see the person inside the operator cab of the tower crane. ”Is it you?” she asked hesitantly as she wouldn’t want to be stirred awake if it was only just an illusion or a dream.

Matthew sensed her nervousness, so he stepped forward and hugged Veronica, who was sitting in the operator’s seat. ”Silly girl, who else can it be other than me? How can you ask such a silly question?”

As he hugged her, she felt that he was drenched. She leaned against him and asked again, ”Is it… Is it really you?”

She could have sworn that she saw the front of the tower crane explode. How could he still be alive?

Veronica didn’t dare to believe all of this and raised her hand to squeeze him. It was all too real—the touch and his rock-hard abs.

Her eyelashes fluttered several times in the dark before realization set in, and she burst into tears almost immediately after. It was more heartbreaking to listen to her cries than when she held back her emotions and wept alone. At that instant, she stood up and hugged Matthew by his neck, pulling him close to her. ”Sobs… You scared me. Do you know how worried I was? Sobs… I thought you were dead. Have you ever thought that I would be in pain for the rest of my life if I were the reason for your death?” she cried and pushed Matthew away, hitting him ruthlessly on his chest to vent her emotions. ”Why did you have to hide everything from me?”

Veronica wailed as if her feelings tore her body and soul. It had been years since she had ever been in such a state; maybe it was because nobody could feel the angst and despair she had just experienced.

The reason Matthew came to Castron was because of her. If she was the reason for his death, she couldn’t imagine the torment and guilt she would live with for the rest of her life, as every day would be a living hell for her. She even had the thought of killing Xavier to avenge him and taking her own life once everything was over.

Just as this extreme thought flashed across her mind, he appeared like an angel from the sky, calling her ‘silly girl’ and ‘Roni’ as if nothing had happened. This rollercoaster of emotions he had put her through made her feel utterly out of her element.

”I’m sorry,” Matthew said as he stood there, allowing her to hit him endlessly, but the punches she rained on him were light. Despite being upset with him, it was as though she still couldn’t bear to inflict any pain on him.

”You can’t fix anything with sorry!” she shouted.

Her words made him purse his lips into a thin line. He couldn’t see Veronica’s expression in the dark and could only determine her emotions and expressions by the sound of her trembling voice. Therefore, when he heard her cries, his heart shattered into pieces.

”I promise that from now on…” He paused before continuing, ”I will discuss everything with you.”
