On the road, Veronica drove while connecting to Bluetooth and she made a phone call to Matthew. “Matt, I passed the audition.”
She was extremely happy, feeling that her dream was getting closer and closer. “As expected. My wife is amazing, Matthew sincerely praised her.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Eleanor listened to the lovey-dovey conversation and couldn’t help rolling her eyes. She was on the verge of covering her ears to block out their dialogue.
“I’m actually surprised too. I was worried that I wouldn’t pass the audition.” “You should have been more confident,” Matthew said gently.
Veronica smiled and said, “I’m going to have dinner with Crazy tonight and won’t be going back. By the way, any news about Shirley?” “We’ve found her. She rented an apartment on the outskirts of the city.”
‘Does Skyler know?” “We haven’t told him yet. Don’t we have to wait for your ‘verdict’ first?” Matthew spoke with a doting tone, as if he wanted to hold Veronica in the palm of his hand.
Feeling his intense love, Veronica was like
being in a honey pot, feeling so happy that she was almost dizzy. She thought for a moment and said, “Let Skyler
Robins know that I’m safe for now. Don’t reveal. Shirley’s location at the moment. Let him deal with his family first.”
“You’re the boss,” Matthew agreed. Afterwards, two of them chatted sweetly on the phone for a while before finally hanging up. “You finally hung up. If you didn’t, I would have ended our friendship!” Eleanor rolled her eyes at Veronica. “Please don’t always show affection
in front of me. Do you believe that one day I will regret it and forcibly snatch your husband?” “That would require you to have the ability to do so, Veronica said confidently. That confidence wasn’t about herself but about her absolute trust in Matthew.
“Ugh, I’m so fed up.” Eleanor raised her hand and rubbed her temples. “No, I need to find a man too. Otherwise, I’ll end up feeling unwanted.” “Love is not something you can force.”
Veronica patiently explained to her, “This is Bloomstead, not the hidden clan. Once you find someone you like and get married, you can only get married once and can’t have others at the same time.”
“Watch out!!” While Veronica was speaking, she glanced at Eleanor with her head tilted to the side, but she ignored a person suddenly rushing out from the side of the road. That was when Eleanor shouted in alarm.
Crash! Despite Eleanor’s reminder, it was already too late. The car accidentally hit a person, sending him flying and rolling a long distance before coming to a stop.
Veronica slammed on the brakes and in the next second, she unfastened her seatbelt and rushed out, not forgetting to tell Eleanor, “Call the police. Now!”
Eleanor, stunned, took a few seconds before finally picking up her phone and dialing the emergency number. Lying on the ground, Melvin looked at Veronica. He weakly waved his hand and said, “I’m fine.”
He propped himself up with one hand on the ground, the other covering his head, and struggled to get up.
“You’re injured quite badly. Maybe I should take you to the hospital.” Veronica expressed her concern when she saw his serious injuries.
Melvin shook his head again. “I’m really fine. You can go.” “Ive already called the police. Hey, be careful!” Veronica was about to say something when she suddenly saw the man swaying and then falling down.
She quickly stepped forward and caught him in her arms. She realized that the man in her arms had already fainted. Eleanor got out of the car and asked, “I’ve already called the police. How is he? Is he okay?”
“Come and help me. Let’s get him in the car and take him to the hospital first.” Veronica knew that the hospital was not far ahead and didn’t want to delay, so she decided to take him there for treatment.
