Chapter 359 Matthew Has a Mistress
Tiffany almost lost her mind and seemed to have forgotten that it was she who had taken the credit that belonged to Veronica and sucked up to Matthew just to try and marry him. Yet now that Tiffany ended up at this point, she blamed Veronica for everything.
Veronica suddenly felt that Tiffany was pitiful and pathetic.
“You clearly know that Melissa sent the group of people that assaulted you, yet you still decide to get yourself involved with Xavier!” Veronica sighed. “I’d advise you to go to the hospital to get your brain checked.”
“Veronica you—”
On the other end of the phone, Tiffany was furious and wanted to retaliate, but Veronica did not give her a chance as she hung up the phone directly.
She might have hated Tiffany back then, but Veronica only had sympathy for her now.
But what was there to sympathize with a mindless idiot like Tiffany?
Ding!
A WhatsApp notification sounded again.
A message popped up on the phone’s screen; it was from Melissa.
In the message, she said, “Room 902 of the Phil’s Restaurant.”
Nevertheless, Veronica ignored the message as she had no plan to go.
Then, she continued to pack her things at home and did her chores when a call from Shirley came.
“Shirley?”
“Ron, where are you? Can you do me a favor?”
On the other end of the phone, Shirly sounded a little anxious.
Immediately, Veronica felt something was wrong and quickly asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“I’m with Monica at the children’s hospital. Her child accidentally got hurt in her mother-in-law’s care. I’ve asked several hospitals already, and no one is willing to accept this child. He’s in severe condition. What should I do?”
Shirley briefly explained the situation to Veronica, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard it. “What? Her mother-in-law hurt the child?”
“Well, Monica’s mother-in-law held a grudge against her because her husband was thrown into prison. So, this was her way of taking it out on Monica by hurting the child.”
“I see. Let’s forget about that for now. Where are you guys?”
“We’re at the entrance of Westcross Children Hospital. Unfortunately, the little boy is too young, so several hospitals refused to accept him. Can you think of something?”
Shirly sounded a little choked up as she spoke, and Veronica could hear Monica’s cry from the other end of the phone alongside the baby’s wails.
Veronica nodded immediately and said, “Okay, I’ll try my best.”
After she hung up the phone, she was going to call Matthew but thought against it, seeing that it was too late and she did not want to bother him.
Then, Veronica gave it more thought before she finally found Skyler’s phone number on WhatsApp.
Veronica and Skyler had met a few times before, and the two exchanged numbers but had never chatted.
Veronica had learned from Matthew inadvertently that Skyler had given up medicine to become a businessman. Before that, he was a prodigy in the medical field. So, naturally, he would have a wide range of connections.
When she thought of this, she took the initiative to reach out to him. Although it was abrupt, she had no other way to handle this issue.
She clicked on his number and let it ring a few times before the other party answered the call.
“Oh? Roni? Oh my, is this actually you calling me?”
It was evident that Skyler did not expect the call at all.
“Skyler, one of my friend’s newborn, fell and was injured. He’s in severe condition, but no hospital is willing to take him in. I know you used to be a doctor, so I assumed you’d have some connections. Can you help save this child’s life?”
It was an emergency, and she did not want to beat around the bush. So, she briefly explained the situation without batting an eye.
Then, she quickly added, “I know it is very sudden for me to suddenly call you like this, but I have no choice. Can you help me?”
Although Monica’s husband had taken money from Xavier and joined the reporters to falsely accuse her of assault, Monica had stood by her side, supporting and helping her from the beginning till the end.
Hence, Veronica had no justification for taking her anger out on Monica.
Moreover, after establishing Encounters Bridal Store, Shirley worked there as a part-time planner, bringing many benefits to the company. In contrast, Veronica actually admired Monica very much.
“Tsk, it’s rare that you’re calling me. How could I refuse?”
Of course, Skyler would not reject Veronica.
After all, he already knew that she and Matthew were secretly in love; she would be his friend’s wife.
If he were to refuse her question, it would be like asking for death.
“Currently, in Bloomstead, the best pediatricians are all in Westcross Children Hospital. I’ll give the people there a call now. Send me your friend’s phone number,” Skyler said.
At this moment, Veronica did not expect the playful and unruly Skyler, who was always fooling around, to be so righteous.
“Okay, I’ll forward you her number right away. Thank you so much. When you come back, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
With that, she immediately hung up the phone and forwarded Monica’s number to Skyler.
At the same time, Veronica headed downstairs and drove straight to Westcross Children’s Hospital.
Although she was not married, nor did she have children, as a woman, she could feel Monica’s desperation at the current moment.
How could she just stand idly by?
More than ten minutes later, when Veronica arrived at Westbrook Children’s Hospital, Monica’s son had been brought to the operating theater for surgery.
When Veronica saw Monica, she was sitting in the hall, crying.
Before Veronica could go up to comfort her, Skyler also appeared in the emergency room corridor.
“Hey, Roni?”
As soon as Veronica saw him, she immediately walked over with a smile. “Skyler, I really have you to thank this time. I—”
Just as she was about to thank him, his phone rang, and he raised his hand. “Excuse me, let me take a call.”
Then, he turned his back to her and took the call. Veronica could hear a woman’s soft voice from the other end. “Hey, Sky, look who I’m with!”
“Who cares who you’re with? It’s none of my business,” Skyler retorted angrily, clearly disgusted.
Because it was a video call, the call was automatically amplified on speakers. So, Veronica, who was on the side, could hear everything clearly even if she didn’t deliberately try to listen in.
Then, she thought to herself, Could it be that Skyler, this dirtbag, slept with another woman and now owes it to this woman?
“Hmph, you heartless sc*mbag. You’re nothing like Matt,” the woman in the video call whined.
Matt?
Matt?!
Then, out of intuition, Veronica immediately raised her head and caught a glimpse of the video call in Skyler’s hands. There, she happened to see a woman wearing a skimpy red dress with a yellow shawl hugging… Matthew!
Matthew lowered his head as he held a glass of wine, sipping it. The woman hung herself around his neck and even leaned her head on his shoulder affectionately.
The worst part was that he showed no resistance at all!
Veronica’s eyes narrowed slightly, only to feel her heart sink as a suffocating pain surged instantly.
She continued to stare at Skyler’s phone. Just then, Skyler realized that she was standing behind him and immediately lowered the volume of the call and said, “I’m busy now. We’ll talk later.”
After that, he quickly hung up the phone.
As he put his phone away, he smiled at Veronica as he stared at her, wondering if she saw anything in the video call.
As she had never been one to show her emotions, she still kept a calm front even after what she saw on the phone and smiled back. “You’ve helped me a lot today. Let’s go for dinner when you’re free.”
