Chapter 1008 Reunion
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, there was only one day left until the ascension ceremony. Late that
night, a neer entered Veronica''s room. Although it was so dark that she could barely see her
fingers, she still knew instinctively who it was.
She stood up and pulled him into her arms. "You''re finally here."
Matthew returned her embrace, hisrge hand caressing her head as he asked softly, "Did you miss
me?"
Veronica leaned on his chest, nodding. "Yeah."
"I missed you too." Matthew slowly closed his eyes, enjoying this sweet moment with her.
Just then, Veronica unexpectedly pushed him away and lifted her head to look at him. "What about the
kids? How are they doing?"
"I''ve already rescued them and settled them down. Don''t worry."
"How did you find them?"
When she had gathered the information from Mateo and passed it to Matthew, she had not expected
him to already be aware of the children''s whereabouts. However, as time was tight that day, she did not
dare to ask any more questions before she hung up.
"Ever since Zac invited you to meet him at the hotel, he''d already said that the children were in trouble.
I expected that they were taken to the hidden n, so I''d been sending people to look for them. Now
that I talk about it, it was a huge coincidence. Right after I found out where they were, I got a call from
Hendrey, and he said that there was a huge possibility that they were in Riverbend Vige, which
confirmed their whereabouts. However, only your information is the most urate."
Matthew led her to the bed and took a seat, asking, "How did you get that information?"
"I wormed it out from Mateo," Veronica replied truthfully. However, there was something that confused
her the most. "How did Hendrey know about this?"
The two of them were unaware of Hendrey and Lamia''s rtionship.
The day after Hendrey and Lamia confirmed their rtionship, they met again at a hotel for another
joyful encounter. However, Lamia then received a call from Crayson, telling her to immediately take the
two children in the countryside away.
Hearing that, Hendrey extracted the necessary information from Lamia and instantly informed Matthew.
Coincidentally, that was also the day when Veronica met Mateo in the hospital.
Crayson always acted calmly and cautiously, and he was unable to fully trust Veronica, so he sent
someone to move the children away. That very day, the family in the courtyard at Riverbend Vige
discovered that two groups of people came to take the children with them.
The first group imed to be under Crayson''s orders, but in reality, they were Matthew''s men.
Meanwhile, the second group also imed to be acting on Crayson''s orders, but they were actually
sent by Lamia, who was acting on Crayson''s behalf to send the children away. However, they didn''t
manage to meet the children and called Lamia to inform her that the children had been sent away by
Crayson''s men.
Back then, Lamia was still in a dilemma about whether she should give Crayson a call to ask him when
she heard Hendrey say, "When you called Crayson earlier to say you''d send someone overter, he
must''ve dispatched his men already. Don''t ask him too much about this, or you''ll make him unhappy."
At Hendrey''s reminder, Lamia nodded without asking much. Besides, Crayson had been swamped with
work recently and did not have the time to meet her. After all, with the ascension ceremony
approaching, the number of tasks he had toplete was enough to make his head spin.

"I''m not sure." Matthew shook his head. "I''m just surprised that Hendrey would help us."
"That''s because…" Veronica paused. "He isn''t a bad person."
"What do you mean?"
"Back then, Hendrey and I…" Veronica exined everything that happened in the past to him,
shedding light on the situation.
Matthew''s brows furrowed. "Does that mean you and Mateo knew each other in the past as well?"
