    Chapter 630 Losing Contact With Matthew


    After a long time, somebody came and rescued Veronica and Xavier. It was Thomas. When he saw


    Xavier, he pointed his gun at thetter in an attempt to get rid of him, but Veronica stretched out her


    hand and stopped him. “He’s the one who saved me,” she said.


    Thomas knitted his brows, thinking that she was being sentimental. “Mrs. Kings, we’ll bring endless


    trouble upon ourselves if we don’t kill him right now.”


    “In that case, just wait until he has fully recovered and leaves. You guys may do whatever you want by


    then.” Tilting her head to one side, she looked at Xavier—who was lying on the ground—with a frown


    and aplicated look on her face. “But now, no one’s allowed to touch him!” she said in an


    authoritative tone that brooked no objections.

    Thomas clenched his fists angrily. In the end, he let out a snort and signaled to the bodyguards behind


    him to take Xavier away with a wave of his hand.


    The group safely returned to Primrose Residence. Everything inside was fine; perhaps those people


    didn’t stop here after they broke in and failed to find the person they were looking for. Naturally, the


    inside of the vi wasn’t damaged.


    After returning to the vi, Veronica was brought to her bedroom to lie down and rest.


    Destiny came to her side while carrying the first-aid kit. She asked, “You’ve been shot in the left arm,


    and the bullet has to be removed. Do you need… an anesthetic or something?” She worried that the


    latter couldn’t stand the pain of her skin being torn apart.


    Looking as pale as a sheet, Veronicay in bed while staring at the ceiling before shaking her head.


    “No, I don’t need it.” She was now pregnant. If she were to use an anesthetic, it’d do great harm to the


    babies in her womb.


    “Okay. Put up with it, then.” Sitting down next to her, Destiny began to clean the wound and removed


    the bullet for her.


    Naturally, the process was very painful, but all Destiny saw was Veronica’s tautened face, the deep


    furrows in her brow, and her clenched teeth. However, she didn’t hear any cry of pain from thetter.


    Her incredibly strong endurance and astonishing willpower beat her expectations, and for the very first


    time, she saw this youngdy in a different light. No wonder Mr. Crayson praises her again and again in


    front of everyone. She deserves that indeed.


    After removing the bullet, she quickly stitched the wound before dressing and bandaging it.


    Veronica was already drenched all over with sweat, and her lips were bloodless.


    “It’s done. You rest for a while.” Destiny took away the dirty and bloodstained sheet beneath Veronica.


    Then, she stood up, packed up the stuff, and prepared to leave the bedroom.


    Veronica immediately asked, “Where is Matt? Why hasn’t hee back yet?” It’d been five hours since


    she left in the afternoon, but she hadn’t heard anything about Matthew so far, nor had she seen


    Crayson, Skyler, and others. This unnerved her very much, and she grew more and more worried with


    each passing second.


    A peculiar look shed across Destiny’s eyes. Lowering her head, she cleaned the non-existent dust


    off herself, saying, “It was a fierce battle. They fought all the way from inside the hotel to the outside


    before escaping in a car while being chased along the way. Nobody knows where they went in the end,


    but there was a fire in the hotel, so a lot of police officers and firefighters were sent out. Someone in the


    government is suppressing the news, so those who were wounded or dead are all counted as


    casualties of the fire.”


    The number of casualties was falsely reported to avoid unnecessary unrest that caused panic in the


    outside world. After all, somebody had gone to the scene of the incident to deal with the aftermath, so


    there were few people left when the police arrived.


    Veronica only worried about Matthew’s safety, though. She immediately asked, “Have you guys called


    them? Are you guys able to reach them?”


    Destiny shook her head. “No, we can’t reach any of them.”


    Veronica grew even more uneasy. She sat up in bed at once, saying, “You mean they can’t be


    reached? What about your people, then? Can’t they be reached as well?”


    Destiny exined, “ording to my people, they only saw a few cars speeding out of the underground


    parking lot and chasing one another, but they couldn’t tell who were in those cars. However, Matthew,


    Skyler, and others weren’t at the scene, so don’t worry.” The fact that they weren’t spotted was the best


    news of all.
