Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 575

Chapter 575 Bullied

Abby, who was lying in on the bed, had just heard Caleb’s voice. However, she was not surprised to see him showing up here. She used sign language and gestured, ‘I…’

“Let’s talk about it after your drip.” Caleb motioned for her to lie down peacefully by placing her raised hand back onto the bed. It could result in a backflow of blood if she was to sign during her drip.

The pale girl nodded without expressing anything as she bit her lower lip cautiously, not daring to look Caleb in the eyes. He sat next to the bed and fiddled with his phone before making another call. He could only remain silent since there was no verbal communication. Furthermore, they were the only ones in the ward, making the atmosphere awkward.

After more than an hour, Abby was finally done with the nutrition therapy and the nurse left after removing the needle. “Tell me what happened,” he demanded coldly.

Despite the fact that he was not interrogating prisoners, the cold aura, navy blue police uniform, and the unspoken sense of oppression made Abby nervous to the point of suffocation.

‘It’s nothing,’ she signed while shaking her head. “The doctor says you passed out from not eating.” He noticed her complexion was haggard and sallow from the moment he walked in, and she had lost a significant amount of weight.

“I send you money on a regular basis and it covers living expenses. Shouldn’t you explain yourself? I should have asked you the last time I saw you.” At the mention of the incident last time, Caleb seemed to be saying, ‘You’d better give me a reasonable reason.’

However, Abby kept her eyes closed and bat an eye at him. In the dead silent ward, she lifted her hand and repeated her gesture. ‘I’m perfectly fine.’

“Please don’t test my pa—” Caleb was usually cold and stern, but he was afraid of frightening her halfway through his words.

He rose and sat next to the hospital bed while softly saying, “I am your guardian and I require information about your situation. After all, I’m a cop and your… brother. You must not withhold anything from me.”

Hearing that, Abby pursed her lips and raised her eyes before mustering the courage to look him in the eyes. However, she paused once more and remained speechless.

“Don’t underestimate my abilities as a cop.”

He was implying that he could figure things out even if Abby did not let on a single word to him.

‘Actually… It’s just… I want to save money and repay you as soon as possible.’ Abby made up a ridiculous reason.
