Chapter 636 Admitted to the Hospital
Veronica could not restrain herself from thinking about the terrain along the river avenue. There, although it was called the river avenue, the terrain of the roads were steep, and there was even a cliff on one side, making the area extremely dangerous.
She did not know what kind of situation and ending she would face, and she could not contain her fear and dread. Those emotions emerged within her like bamboo shoots, breaking the ground and growing uncontrollably, densely occupying her entire heart and leaving no room for her to calm down.
“Matt, please don’t let anything happen to you!” At the traffic light intersection, she stopped the car. While waiting for the light to turn green, she placed her hand over her abdomen. “My babies, your daddy will be fine. He definitely will be fine.”
She talked to the newly formed children in her belly, looking for a touch of solace. As soon as the green light came on, her car darted out as if it were a sharp arrow, rendering an arc on the road.
However, when Veronica showed up at the river avenue, she couldn’t find anything at all. She kept driving back and forth in the blind spot of the surveillance, searching while calling Colt and the others at the same time, but in the end, she couldn’t get any news. After that, Destiny, Luke, and others came and joined the search together, but there was still no luck.
That day, Veronica spent her night sitting in the car, or getting out of the car to look for them. Though she was exhausted, she ignored Destiny’s words of caution. The gauze on her arm was already stained red with blood, but she just couldn’t calm down.
It wasn’t until she began to feel a slight abdominal pain in her abdomen and worried about the children in her belly that she stopped searching frantically, but got into the car and went to the hospital under Destiny’s escort.
After the doctor examined her, he said that the fetus was in danger and she needed to be hospitalized to keep it alive. Veronica’s heart ached for Matthew, but she knew deep down that if she went by Hendrey’s words at that time, it was highly likely that Matthew had already…
She thought of the worst possible outcome, but if that was the worst possible outcome, then the only thing she could do now was to give birth to the children in her belly safely and securely.
Veronica lay in the hospital to receive treatment, and Destiny accompanied her, not leaving her side for even a second.
“I’m getting sleepy. You should rest. Don’t worry now. If I’m willing to come to the hospital by myself, I won’t leave again,” Veronica said to Destiny, wanting her to leave so that she could have some time to herself.
Destiny sighed. “All right, I’ll wait outside. Call me if you need anything.” Saying that, she got up and left the ward, closing the door behind her.
Veronica lay on the hospital bed, looking at the suspended IV drip, then at the ceiling, and finally she glanced sideways at the window, the hollowness and sadness inside her gradually amplifying and slowly swallowing her up. The pain, compared to the injury on her skin, was simply much more excruciating. Though she tried to calm herself down, she just could not fall asleep.
Outside the ward, Destiny felt uneasy and asked the doctor to add the right amount of sedative to Veronica’s medicine and mix it into the IV drip in the end. At last, Veronica finally fell asleep.
The next day, when Veronica woke up and opened her eyes, it was already daytime. “How did I sleep for so long?”
In her sleep, she did not rest peacefully. She dreamed that Matthew fell off a cliff and drowned, and after learning the news, she went to look for Matthew like a madman, spending three days and three nights, only to find a corpse that was so swollen and deformed by the water that its features could not be seen at all. As a result, she woke up with a start.
“You’re awake? Feeling better?” Destiny walked over and inquired.
She was still in a tight black leather jacket, her long blonde hair tied up simply, and her fair face was completely haggard and tired, her pair of sapphire-like eyes dull and lightless.
