Chapter 948 Veronica Faints
It was fortunate that the call came just in time. If Skyler had called half an hourter, Veronica would
have arrived at the west zone research center. After an hour and thirty minutes, she arrived at the river
bay at Roch River and drove the Jeep slowly along the river but did not see any signs of them.
She drove for another ten minutes before finally spotting the two men not far away. Parking the car by
the road, she pushed the door open and alighted but lost her bnce and fell to the ground.
When Matthew saw that, he dashed over and reflexively kneeled on one knee before picking up the
woman on the ground. "Roni!"
Feeling his tight embrace, Veronica reciprocated while snuggling into his chest. She could feel his body
warmth and sniffed his scent, making everything feel so real.
"Did you know… I-I thought I would never see you again and that you would forget about me." Her
voice sounded choked and had a trace of determination.
He ran his fingers through her hair. "You''re my wife. How could I possibly forget you—"
He had not finished speaking before she added, "But I''m more afraid… Afraid that I would never see
you again." As she said that, tears began pouring down her face like rain while she leaned into
Matthew''s arms.
He patted her back while looking at the wrecked Jeep and feeling his heart sink. He then pushed
Veronica away and cupped her cheeks. Wounds shrouded her forehead, cheeks, chin, shoulders, and
legs. One could say that she was covered in injuries.
"How did you get injured?" From the moment he saw her, his furrowed eyebrows had never rxed.
"I''m fine. They''re minor injuries." She shook her head.
Matthew helped Veronica to her feet, and when she attempted to get up, she found her whole body
sore with prickling pain everywhere. Looking at her body, she discovered that blood had stained her
khaki attire, and the area at her knees had torn. She had no idea how her clothes got ripped and had
just realized she was aching everywhere.
In the meantime, Matthew''s eyes slowly reddened while his face filled with distress and gentleness.
She was the person he held dear to him, but now that he saw her in such a state, he felt more hatred
than heartbreak.
On the other hand, Skyler watched the scene, feeling immensely touched. Since he met Veronica, she
had been giving him surprise after surprise. He could not describe how much respect he harbored for
her when he saw how she drove the wrecked Jeep as quickly as she could despite her injuries.
He thought aboutplimenting Veronica but could not bring himself to break the affectionate
atmosphere between the couple, so he could only stand by the side and watch. Suddenly, he began to
miss Shirley. He had called her when they arrived ashore, but it did not go through. I wonder how Shir
is doing at this moment.
A whileter, several cars arrived, and Matthew carried Veronica onto one of them while Skyler got in
the passenger seat and began their journey home.
During the journey, Matthew positioned her on hisp, rendering her a little shy. "Let me down." While
speaking, she peeked at Skyler and the driver from the corner of her eye.
Skylerughed. "Jeez. It''s not like I haven''t seen you guys acting all lovey-dovey. Do you think I''d mind
it now?"
"Skyler''s right." While embracing Veronica, Matthew pulled her head to rest on his shoulder. "Lean here
and take a rest."

"Okay." Since she was exhausted, she leaned on his shoulder and soon fell asleep.
At first, Matthew thought Veronica was fast asleep because she did not have much restst night. Yet,
upon arriving at One Piece Restaurant, he discovered that she was not dozing but unconscious. He
patted her cheeks while calling her, "Roni? Roni? Wake up."
Several shoutster, she remained unresponsive, so he immediately ordered the driver, "Head to the
hospital. Quick!"
"Yes, Boss." The driver immediately rushed toward the East Street Hospital.
