When Veronica came out, Raymond was on the phone.


    As he spoke, Raymond suddenly felt a burst of pain in his throat. He lowered his head and coughed.


    Seeing Veronicae out of the bathroom, Raymond gave her a nce before pointing to the water dispenser.


    Veronica immediately understood what Raymond wanted. She turned and went to the water dispenser to get a cup of water.


    Originally, Veronica wanted to put the cup on the table and let Raymond finish the call before drinking.


    But Raymond coughed again because his throat was ufortable.


    Presumably, it must be very ufortable.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Veronica wanted to hand the cup to Raymond, but she saw Raymond''s left arm with a cast as she turned around. His left arm was injured, and his right hand was holding the phone. So Veronica directly put the cup around Raymond''s mouth.


    Raymond, who was not used to being served, looked at the cup and frowned.


    However, his throat was really ufortable, so Raymond took two sips from the cup.


    Seeing that Raymond was better now, Veronica took the water cup away and put it on the bedside table.


    Raymond was talking with people in another country, so he was speaking in a foreignnguage. He used many professional terms, but Veronica understood all of them.


    When Raymond was on the phone, Veronica sat in the same ce, waiting for Raymond to finish the call and discuss thepensation thing.


    But the call hadsted for too long, and judging from the conversation, Veronica knew it wouldn''t end in a short time. So she took her book and read it on the sofa to kill the time.


    As a fourth-year college student who was about to graduate, she was about to enter the workce. Moreover, she would work as a trantor. Before starting working, she had to be able to understand the professional terms of various industries. So reading was still the most important thing.


    Usually, Veronica read aloud.


    Raymond heard a small voice ring in the ward when he continued the call. He looked to the side and saw the girl sitting on the sofa and reading a book with her head lowered. Veronica''s low voice would not bother Raymond, so he only nced at her before retracting his gaze and continuing the call.


    When Veronica finished a chapter, she looked up and found that Raymond, who was originally making a meeting call on the bed, had ended the call. Moreover, the water cup on the bedside table had been empty. Seeing this, Veronica quickly closed the book in her hand.


    When Veronica looked up, her eyes met Veronica''s.


    Seeing Veronica''s face, Raymond was a little surprised.


    Veronica had a palm-sized oval face. Her skin was fair and looked tender. There was no makeup on her face. Under her willow-like eyebrows was a pair ofrge, clear eyes. Her eyshes were long and curly. Under her high nose were slightly pale but full lips.


    She looked a little haggard, but she was still shockingly beautiful.


    Previously, Veronica''s face was covered in dirt, looking rather awkward. Unexpectedly, she was so beautiful after the dirt was removed.


    Being in the upper ss, Raymond had seen all kinds of beauties, some of whom were more beautiful than Veronica. Moreover, he had two great beauties in his family.


    One was Audrey, his mother, and the other was Shermie, his sister.


    So after seeing Veronica''s beauty, Raymond quickly calmed down.


    Veronica stood up from the sofa.


    She took a deep breath and clenched her fists. "Mr. Bryson, I''m sorry for breaking your arm."


    Raymond looked at Veronica coldly. "There''s no need to apologize. As long as you pay for the medical expenses, this matter can be written off."


    Veronica bit her lower lip.


    "I have already consulted the doctors and nurses. The cost of your hospitalization, outpatient fees, and theter treatment fees will probably cost about twenty thousand."


    At this point, Veronica felt heartbroken.


    This hospital was too expensive. It would cost at most a few hundred if it was a small clinic. Even if it was a public hospital, it would probably cost at most one or two thousand. However, this hospital was the most expensive private hospital in Peace City. Moreover, the ward Raymond lived in was a top VIP one. So the cost was naturally several times more expensive than ordinary hospitals. It looked like a swindle.


    Of course, the prices she got from doctors were what Raymond had specially told the medical staff. But she did not know it.


    Raymond was not a good man. Veronica had previously tried to make him suffer, so he would definitely not let go of it.


    A hospital requiring so expensive medical bills would have beenined about by patients and closed long ago. After all, the bills only included treatment and one night of ward expense. Raymond nodded. "So, when will youpensate me?"


    Veronica clenched her fists. "Well, could I pay in installments? I''m still in college and only have spare time to work. I ... I''m currently working as a part-time trantor in a trantion firm. The sry is about 3,000 a month. I ... I''ll keep two... no, 1,000 as my daily expenses. I''ll wire you the remaining part."


    Raymond squinted at Veronica''s face. "So, you mean that I will only get thepensation in ten months?"


    Veronica lowered her head in guilt.


    "Mr. Bryson, I''m really sorry. You already knew that my father''spany was bankrupt. He didn''t leave me a single cent. I am now... penniless. I know that perhaps you can''t ept this fact. However, I really have no choice now. But don''t worry. Every month, when I get my sry, I will immediately wire the money to you!"


    Looking at Veronica''s aggrieved expression, Raymond suddenly had a feeling of robbing a little girl as a greedy man. Suddenly, he felt a little guilty.


    Just then, Raymond''s phone rang again.


    It was a call from the butler of his house.


    Now Raymond was living alone in a vi, and he had hired a butler and two servants to take care of the vi.


    Hearing the call from the butler, Raymond frowned, "What did you say? Mya wants to take leave?"


    "Yes!" The butler replied, "Her daughter-inw was just pregnant. But she found out that she would have a miscarriage. So Mya''s son called and asked her to take care of her daughter-inw for a period of time. She had to take three months off beforeing back to work."


    Raymond said, "Alright, I see."


    After Raymond hung up the phone, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Veronica who was in a sorry state. An idea came to his mind.
