Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 997

Chapter 997 Princess Eleanor Came

"Well done," Matthew said, as he covered his wound with his hand. Fortunately, it wasn't too deep; otherwise, he would have to lie in bed for at least ten days.

When Veronica stabbed him in the heart with a dagger, she carefully controlled the distance and force. Even though his heart was no different from an ordinary person's, she was afraid that one stab would take half of his life.

"Have you found out where Roni is now?" Matthew lifted the bed sheet and got up from the bed. Then, he walked to the table to sit down, lit a cigarette, and silently smoked.

Lazlo wanted to stop him, but seeing Matthew's bad mood and darkened face, he didn't dare to say more. He only said, "She is currently living in Hayley's villa. However, it's heavily guarded, and it's difficult to get in."

As Matthew's follower, Lazlo naturally understood what Matthew was thinking and had already investigated the situation inside Hayley's villa.

"Got it."

Matthew said nothing else and only sat on the couch smoking in silence.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the VIP hospital room, and Dean stood outside saying, "Boss, Princess Eleanor is here."

The high-level VIP ward was divided into a small living room outside and a hospital room inside.

Dean was standing guard outside to prevent others from peeking or plotting against their boss.

"Let her in," Matthew replied.

Then, the hospital room door opened, and Eleanor walked in holding a bouquet of flowers. But then, she saw Matthew lying weakly on the bed, his face pale and haggard.

A trace of anger appeared on her beautiful face, and she slammed the flowers onto the table. "Did Veronica really go after you? I heard she had her memory sealed and she stabbed you in the heart with a knife?"

Worried, Eleanor quickly walked up to Matthew and reached out to lift his sheets to see his wound.

But Matthew held onto the sheets tightly and didn't give her a chance to look. "What are you doing?"

Ignoring Matthew's words, Eleanor shook off his hand and made a move to lift his clothes. But Matthew grabbed her wrist firmly. "No intimacy between men and women."

"You're just a patient. What's with all this nonsense? I just want to see how severe your injury is," Eleanor said.

"It's severe," Matthew replied.

"I want to see how severe it is."

She was about to tug at his clothes when he firmly gripped her hand, and no matter how much she struggled, it was all in vain.

"Even if it's extremely severe, I won't die," Matthew said.

"But I want to see," Eleanor insisted.

"No need," Matthew refused coldly.

Eleanor paused for a moment, staring at Matthew with anger in her beautiful eyes. The two of them locked gazes, creating an electric tension in the hospital room.

After a while, she shook off Matthew's hand. "Fine, I don't want to see it. I don't care. It's even better if you die in pain."

Upon hearing that Matthew was injured, she rushed over, but she never expected that this jerk would keep her at a distance.

"I used to think Roni was a decent person, and I didn't expect her to be so cruel to you," Eleanor said.

"I won't allow you to say that about Roni!" Matthew's eyes grew colder. "She had her memory sealed by Crayson. Instead of worrying about me, you should discuss a strategy with the head of the clan, or else your position as head of the clan will be in jeopardy."

"You're quite the time to care about that, huh?" Eleanor replied.

She flicked her hair and moved a chair to sit by the bed. Flinging the sleeves of her red dress, she said discontentedly, "If Veronica really has the ability to take away my position as head of the clan, I can pursue you without any scruples then. For me, it's a sure win. When I succeed in becoming Mrs. Kings, I will not be short of money to spend. I can live a carefree life and not worry about the world. Isn't that great?"
