Chapter 528 Conrad Was Done For
That final kick still wasn’t enough to satisfy Veronica, so she added a few more good kicks. In the end, Conrad couldn’t take the agony any longer and fainted on the spot. “Oh my God! Veronica, what have you done?”
Yvonne, who had just returned with her gift in hand, witnessed Veronica mercilessly beating someone. When she got closer, she realized it was Conrad who was lying unconscious on the floor.
She dropped the gift on the floor and rushed toward Conrad’s side. She pushed Veronica away from him and shrieked, “Are you crazy? I told you Conrad is sick. How could you do this to him?”
Yvonne’s eyes turned red from rage, and she looked like she was frothing at the mouth to tear Veronica’s arm off.
Despite being given such a glare, Veronica merely watched dispassionately as Yvonne knelt on the floor and shook Conrad’s body. She tried to wake him up, but her efforts were in vain. “Conny! Conny, wake up! Please wake up, Conny!” As she saw Conrad lying motionless, it gradually fed into her panic. “Conny, please don’t scare me! Please be okay…” Yvonne sobbed.
“Yvonne?”
Veronica called her name again, but Yvonne didn’t respond to her.
Veronica patiently called Yvonne again, but she was too busy calling Conrad’s name, hoping he would wake up.
Alas, Veronica couldn’t stand it further and seized Yvonne’s arm to drag her to her feet. Then, she slapped Yvonne across the face for good measure. “Can you calm the f*ck down and listen to me?”
She slapped Yvonne so hard that Yvonne was utterly stupefied.
Yvonne stood agape, with her eyes dazedly transfixed on Veronica.
“Didn’t you say that you don’t believe me? Now’s the chance to prove it once and for all. Pick any hospital in Bloomstead that he’s never been to before. If that hospital confirms that he has cancer, I, Veronica Murphy, will personally kneel in front of him and apologize once he’s awake.” Veronica said in a firm and determined tone.
Yvonne’s mind went blank briefly. She looked at Veronica, who looked very serious; she then remembered what Matthew had warned her about back at Spinfluence Group. She took a look at Conrad, who was passed out on the floor with mixed feelings.
She hesitated for a long while before finally biting the bullet and nodding in agreement. “Alright. You said it yourself. If Conny is diagnosed with cancer, I want you to apologize to him.”
Yvonne may be foolish, but she knew well that Veronica was only looking out for her.
Nevertheless, Yvonne would never make Veronica kneel and apologize. In her opinion, that was just taking it too far. But Veronica must apologize to Conny if she’d been proven wrong.
Hence, making Conrad receive a diagnosis on the spot was the only way to convince Veronica to trust him.
The two then dialed 911 and sent Conrad to the Bloomstead People’s Hospital as quickly as possible.
When they reached the hospital, the doctor wanted to know what had happened to the patient. Veronica hid the truth and only told the doctor that the patient probably passed out due to liver cancer. “Please give him a checkup to see if it’s true.”
“Liver cancer? Why isn’t he already admitted to the hospital in the first place? Never mind you two hurry and make the payment. I’ll bring the patient for a checkup.” The doctor and a few nurses then pushed Conrad, lying on a hospital bed, toward the emergency room.
“Wait!”
When Veronica saw that the doctor was about to leave, she stopped him. “Doctor, the patient probably wouldn’t take it well. So please inform…” She glanced back at Yvonne and continued, “Inform his wife if you were to find out about anything.”
“Alright, no problem.” The doctor was already used to requests like this as many patients find it hard to accept that they are diagnosed with certain illnesses.
The doctor and nurses pushed Conrad straight into the emergency room. Meanwhile, they went to pay Conrad’s consultation fees.
Yvonne had been in a bad mood ever since their argument, so it was only natural that she refused to talk to Veronica.
“You chose this hospital on your own, and you need to have faith in yourself.” Veronica shook her head and sighed. “Yvonne, you’re just too… naive.”
Veronica sighed yet again as though she genuinely seemed like she didn’t know what to do with Yvonne.
Yvonne was on edge the whole time. Deep down, she knew that Veronica had always been nice to her and wanted the best for her. Plus, she knew that Veronica had broken up with Matthew, so it would be impossible for Veronica to lie to her because of Matthew and Conrad’s conflict.
There were only two possibilities.
Either Conrad lied to her, or Veronica had gotten it all wrong.
If it turned out to be the latter, she would forgive Veronica as long as she apologized. But if it turned out that Conrad had been lying to her all along, she honestly didn’t know what she would do.
