Chapter 410 Veronica’s Dying
“This is so annoying and disgusting! Do you realize that everything in life has a sequence? I was the one who met you first and fell for you, but how could Matthew, who came after me, overtake me? This isn’t fair to me! There’s another matter that I’ve never told you. Would you like to find out?” Xavier spoke to Veronica continuously as he was afraid that Veronica would give in.
That can’t be right. Why did she suddenly deteriorate? If it’s just the wound from her wrist, then she shouldn’t be in such a bad state. Xavier felt that something was amiss.
He held her up and at that point, he was shocked to discover that there was a wound on her left collarbone as well.
The bright-red blood trickled down her left hand, which was hanging loosely by her side, while the car seats were stained in crimson.
“What the heck? What’s going on?”
Xavier was taken aback. “Damn it! I can’t believe that you actually harmed yourself this badly! Veronica, do you really despise me so much to the point of doing this to get away from me?!” He felt goosebumps out of fright.
At that point, he finally recalled that she had broken the glass at the toll station. Subsequently, he smothered her lips and pushed her down on his lap. In response, she yelped out painfully and struggled to get away.
Initially, he had assumed that she found the pain on her wrist hard to tolerate.
Now that he thought about it, perhaps the broken glass pieces had been lodged in the surface of her clavicle skin and when he had grabbed her hard, the glass shards had pierced through her skin and entered her body.
She struggled violently and the gap between his knees was quite wide. Hence, as the blood trickled down her collarbone and ran down her left arm dripping onto the car seat, he had not realized a thing at all.
Her eyes were half-shut and she seemed limp in his arms. Her head lolled to the side and she was lifeless. Despite Xavier’s attempts to shake and wake her up, she did not utter a single word at all.
“Veronica? Wake up! I said, wake up! Can you hear me?!” He was close to being hysterical.
He had originally thought that he would loathe Veronica to his core. As the unexpected incident unfolded, he looked at her in such a bad state and forgot all about his hatred toward her. All that was left was his self-remorse. If Veronica lost her life like that, he would not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life; he clearly knew that he would not forgive himself at all.
“Get off the highway! Hurry up and get off the highway!” Xavier kicked the driver’s seat violently to remind the driver.
“Mr. Crawford, Young Master Matthew already knows that we’re on this highway. So, if we get off it right now, then it’s no different than surrendering. We have another car in front, so why don’t I send you there and you can leave first? I’ll exit the highway after that and send Miss Murphy to the hospital.” The driver tried to analyze the situation with Xavier and suggested a plan.
However, Xavier yelled at him angrily, “Darn it! Do my words mean nothing to you now?! Hurry up and send us to the hospital!”
He could not care less about anything else at the moment. He felt pained to see Veronica in such a weakened state. She was nearly unconscious, and her face was as pale as a sheet. It felt as if she was on the brink of death.
The first time that he had watched someone he loved die before him was his mother; the second time was Veronica. He finally realized that his love for her was so deep. Regardless of life and death or even the threat of Matthew, nothing else seemed to matter to him at that point.
Right now, he merely wished to save Veronica’s life and send her to the hospital as soon as possible. He was much more worried that any delay would result in her death.
“No, Veronica! I won’t allow you to die!”
Xavier gave his instructions to his people.
The driver nodded. “Sure, I’ll turn back right away.”
They had just gotten on the highway not long ago, so the best way right now was to turn back and head in the opposite direction. If they delayed things any further, then there was a chance that she might not make it.
Therefore, a strange scene appeared on the highway—every car was going in the right direction, but there was one single car that was driving the opposite way.
Veronica’s action earlier had alerted the police and Matthew.
Matthew rushed over at the first instance, but he was not fast enough to catch up with Xavier’s speed.
