Chapter 1241 Skyler Was Here


    Veronica, her body feeble, was assisted by Xavier as he gently lifted her up. All her weight leaned on


    him, creating an inadvertent sense of intimacy between them.


    Xavier held a porcin bowl filled with medicinal soup in one hand and brought it to Veronica''s mouth.


    She slightly parted her lips and drank the medicine slowly.


    Her delicate fragrance lingered in his embrace. She was the woman that Xavier had been yearning for


    day and night. Seeing her in this state, he couldn''t help but wish he could tear Zac apart to alleviate the


    hatred in his heart.


    For a fleeting moment, memories of the time he had kidnapped Veronica resurfaced in Xavier''s mind.


    He had selfishly wanted to possess her due to his overwhelming infatuation.


    But perhaps the umtion of the past one or two years had made him grow a lot, to the point where


    he really wanted to go back in time and beat himself up for what he had done.


    Their rtionship wouldn''t have grown so distant if it weren''t for that impulsive mistake.


    He regretted it.


    The intense regret lingered, and Xavier''s only sce was that Crayson had arrived in the nick of time.


    Otherwise, he feared he couldn''t forgive himself in this lifetime.


    "I''ve finished drinking."


    The medicine was bitter, but she swallowed it down.


    After drinking the medicine, Veronica noticed that Xavier was lost in thought while still holding the bowl.


    She spoke to break his trance.


    Veronico, her body feeble, wos ossisted by Xovier os he gently lifted her up. All her weight leoned on

    After drinking the medicine, Veronico noticed thot Xovier wos lost in thought while still holding the bowl.


    She spoke to breok his tronce.


    "Alright."


    Xavier came back to his senses and helped Veronica lie down slowly. He ced the bowl on the table


    and took out a tissue to wipe her mouth. "Rest well. The doctor said you''ll recover within ten minutes."


    "Okay."


    Veronica agreed softly and looked at Xavier with aplex mix of emotions. "Xavier, thank you."


    He had saved her twice.


    The immense gratitude made Veronica''s feelings toward Xavier incredibly intricate.


    "What''s Iron Pir''s phone number?" he asked.


    Veronica didn''t want to tell Xavier, fearing that it would expose Matthew''s identity when he came over


    and agitated Xavier. It could lead to another intense confrontation between the two.

    "No need to call him. It''s fine."


    Although she had just taken the medicine, Veronica clearly felt her body condition had improved


    significantly. At least now she had enough strength to speak.


    "Alright."


    Xavier didn''t say much and moved a chair to sit by her bed. "How did you end up in Zac''s room?"


    "I met Zac at the pce today. He said that something happened to my children and asked me to meet


    him tonight. I was already on guard, but I still couldn''t defend against it."


    She had thought that having Matthew with her would ensure their safety, but she didn''t expect that Zac


    would use a trick to lure Matthew away.


    Suddenly, a frown formed on Veronica''s brow. "Xavier, my phone is in my pocket. Can you help me


    take it out so I can make a call?"


    Matthew was undoubtedly skilled, so why had he yet to return? Had something dangerous happened to


    him?


    Veronica was extremely worried and wanted to contact Elrod immediately to look for Matthew.


    Knock, knock, knock…


    Just as Veronica''s words trailed off, the sound of knocking came from outside the room.


    Her eyes brightened. Was it Matthew?


    "I''ll get the door."


    Xavier stood up and walked toward the bedroom door.


    Is it "Iron Pir"ing to find Veronica, or is it Zacing to settle the score with me?


    As Xavier approached the door, he pondered the possibilities.


    Knock, knock, knock…


    The knocking at the door was urgent. Xavier opened the door and was surprised to find Skyler standing


    outside.


    "Why are you here?"


    Xavier was surprised to see Skyler.


    However, Skyler wasn''t in the mood to answer Xavier''s question. He brushed past Xavier and strode


    into the room. "Where''s Roni? Xavier, I''m warning you. If anything happens to Roni, I''ll make sure you


    regret it!"
