Veronica eventually couldn't help but speak. "Eviette just called you, and I answered."
Matthew, holding a towel, paused, "What's the matter?"
"She said she has a stomachache."
"If she has a stomachache, she should go to a doctor." Matthew knew that Eviette had lingering health issues from the past, but he was not a doctor and couldn't help her.
His response seemed to improve Veronica's mood slightly, and the irritation in her heart also subsided a bit. "She called you because of her stomach ache..."
"I want to talk to you..."
Both of them started speaking at the same time and then abruptly stopped.
Matthew sat on the edge of the bed, still drying his hair. "You wanted to talk to me about Eviette, didn't you? Feel free to ask any questions. I won't hide anything." Since he wanted to have an open and honest conversation with Veronica, he naturally didn't plan to hide anything from her.
Veronica, wrapped in a quilt, poked her head out and looked at him. "Didn't we agree to talk about it tomorrow?"
Matthew threw the towel on the table, reached out, and pinched her rosy cheek. "If we don't talk today, I'm worried that you will have trouble sleeping."
When he came out of the bathroom, he thought she was asleep, but it turned out she was sulking.
Veronica didn't like to hide things from the person she loved, so she asked directly, "What exactly is your relationship with Eviette, and why do you trust her unconditionally..."
Just as she finished asking her question, the phone on the table started vibrating again. Both of them looked at the table simultaneously. Matthew picked up the phone, saw the unfamiliar number on the screen, and hung up directly.
After putting down the phone, he frowned, pondered for a few seconds, and then said seriously, "Roni, my relationship with Eviette is..."
Coincidentally, the phone started vibrating non-stop again.
After hanging up the phone, Matthew looked at Veronica with a serious expression. The two of them looked at each other. Veronica didn't say anything; she just looked at him quietly, waiting for him to speak.
"Eviette is unconscious and in the hospital," he said.
"So, you're going?" Veronica seemed calm on the surface.
"I told you before, Eviette saved my life. Because she saved me, she developed uterine problems and can't have children in the future." Matthew shook his head helplessly. "I must repay the favor I owe her. I can't just ignore her."
Because she saved him, she developed uterine problems and can't have children anymore? Veronica didn't know how to react to Matthew for a moment, nor did she know how to comment on this.
She knew that the past between Matthew and Eviette was not something that could be explained in a few words.
"I'll go with you." Veronica sat up from the bed and said to him, "After all, Eviette already knows that our divorce was fake, so there's no need to put on a show in front of her."
