Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1242

"She's in the bedroom," Xavier mentioned.

Skyler pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. When he saw Veronica lying on the bed, covered with a thin blanket and looking fine, his anxious heart finally settled.

"Roni, are you okay?" he asked.

"Skyler, Titus is in danger. Go find him!" They both spoke at the same time.

"Look at yourself, still worrying about him?" Skyler walked to the side of the bed and sat down, lifting a corner of the blanket to place Veronica's wrist flat on the bed. He checked her pulse.

After a while, realizing that there was nothing wrong with her body and seeing the bowl on the table with remnants of medicine, he sighed and said, "You're fine. You'll be better soon. D*mn it, Zac! I won't let him go if I ever meet him!"

"Don't worry about me. Go find Iron Pillar," Veronica pleaded as her body gradually recovered. She reached out and tugged at Skyler's sleeve.

Meanwhile, Xavier stood at the bedroom door, hands in his pockets. He leaned against the door frame, watching them silently.

But at that moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the living room…

"Roni?!"

When Skyler came in, Xavier didn't close the suite door. He just closed it halfway.

Matthew, who arrived late, pushed the door open and walked in as he called out to Veronica.

Worried about Veronica, he dropped all pretenses. Even his voice and address were per his previous habits.

Matthew glanced at Xavier, bypassed him directly, and grabbed Skyler's clothes before pushing him aside. Matthew then sat on the chair by the bed. He held Veronica's hand tightly as he asked with concern, "How are you? Are you okay? I'm sorry that I'm late."

Matthew's mind was filled with Veronica. He was too preoccupied to care about anyone else, only wanting to know if she was alright. He completely ignored the others beside him, especially Xavier.

When Xavier heard the name "Roni," his nerves suddenly tensed, and he straightened his body.

Yet, Xavier never expected that Veronica and Matthew would act together, holding a grand funeral and deceiving everyone, including him!

At this moment, disappointment and irony flooded his heart, and he laughed at himself, feeling like a fool being played around by them.

Xavier's eyes went from a vibrant spring to a desolate winter instantly, becoming dull and lifeless.

Feelings of sadness, ridicule, and self-mockery gave him a sense of decadence, and it deeply hurt Veronica.

Feeling much better physically, Veronica sat up, lifting the blanket. "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I'm really sorry."

Caught between Matthew and Xavier, Veronica was in pain.

On one side was her beloved, while on the other was the person who had risked his life multiple times to save her.
