Despite being injured, he exhibited extraordinary physical strength that allowed Veronica to fully indulge in the pleasure of their time together in bed.
She leaned against him as she hugged his slender waist and said, “I’m relieved that you are unharmed. However, our kids are still in the hands of Master Crayson, and I have yet to determine how to extract information about them from him.”
Master Crayson lied to her and fabricated a story that their kids were strangled to death by Matthew shortly after birth. This statement silenced Veronica and left her with no other leads to inquire about the children’s whereabouts.
“I’ve already arranged for a discreet search team to locate our kids. Don’t worry. They are out of harm’s way now,” Matthew reassured her. “He wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on them, at least not until the head of the clan’s ascension ceremony.”
“Now that the ascension ceremony draws closer, Master Crayson has been meeting with his subordinates more frequently for discussion and planning,” Veronica said with a deep sigh. “We have yet to determine his true strength, but I fear it will result in a bloody battle. Unfortunately, it’s the innocent people who suffer the most.”
“Please don’t get involved in this matter. Once you return to Hayley’s villa, you can stay there and not have to leave again. I’ll take care of everything. His large hand covered her head and stroked her hair gently. “I’ll make sure that you and our children will leave the hidden clan safely.”
The moment was drawing near. Once the head of the clan’s ascension ceremony was finished, they could finally leave the hidden clan and begin their happy life back in Bloomstead.
As soon as they had made love, the lights in the hospital ward went out. They embraced each other intimately in the darkness, and their breaths mingled with the familiar scent of one another, filling the air with the sweet aroma of love.
A strange noise came from the window at that moment, causing the couple to turn their heads toward it in the darkness. They remained in bed without moving as they held each other’s hands tightly.
As two black shadows jumped in, Matthew quickly retrieved a dagger from under the bed and handed it to Veronica. Their eyes adjusted to the darkness, allowing them to see the approaching figures.
Veronica suddenly rose to her feet as they stood beside the bed and kicked one of the intruders away. She swiftly turned around and slashed her dagger. There was a faint swishing sound, and the other man went stiff and groaned with difficulty. A moment later, there was a loud thud as the man collapsed to the ground.
Matthew reached out and turned on the light. The man who had been kicked aside rushed toward Veronica, but she didn’t give him a chance to get close. Her dagger flew out of her hand and lodged precisely in his forehead. Bang! He fell to the ground with a dull thud.
“Mr. Kings?” The person standing guard outside heard the commotion inside and promptly pushed open the door to enter the room. At the sight of Veronica, Lazlo’s eyes widened as he addressed her, “Mrs… Mrs. Kings, what brings you here?”
When did she come over? Matthew gestured toward the two individuals on the ground and instructed Lazlo. “Get someone to take care of them.”
“Okay.” Lazlo nodded dumbly. His eyes briefly flickered toward the two people lying on the ground before settling on Veronica with newfound admiration. Her skill is awe-inspiring. Without further hesitation, he turned around. and called for assistance.
Veronica sat on the bed. “This place is very unsafe.” “Nothing will happen, don’t worry.” Matthew comforted her and added, “Your skills seem even more agile than before.”
Veronica nodded. “This time, after Master Crayson sealed my memories, I found that not only did I regain all my memories, but my skills have also improved even further.”
