Chapter 637 Missing
Veronica knew that Destiny had stayed up all night, and she nodded. “Yeah, I feel much better.” “Go wash up and have something to eat,” she said, pointing at Veronica’s belly, “Even if it’s for their sake, you have to take good care of yourself.”
“All right.” Veronica was quiet as she got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, then obediently returned to the bed and leaned against it.
Destiny pushed the overbed table in front of her and placed her breakfast on top of it. “This is a nutritious porridge that I had someone prepare for you. Eat as much as you can.”
Though Veronica’s left arm was injured, it did not affect her ability to eat. She sat quietly on the bed and ate, and even though she was pregnant and experienced morning sickness, she still forced herself to hold it in and finished everything. Destiny was right. Even if it was for the sake of the children in her belly, she had to take good care of herself.
Upon seeing Veronica’s excessive quietness, Destiny grew more and more worried. “They’re already doing their best to search for Young Master Matthew, so it should be fine.”
“Yeah. I believe in them.”
Other than believing, she had no other choice. Being pregnant, she could only stay in the hospital to nurture her babies. She even felt that the two children had come at a bad time, affecting her ability to find Matthew, but then she thought that if Matthew was gone, then these two children would be a gift from God that kept his bloodline alive.
No, that won’t happen. He won’t die so easily. Veronica kept reassuring herself inwardly, not even daring to touch her phone again.
After a day had passed, no one showed up in the ward. Two days later, except for Destiny and Luke, there was still no one else. However, on the third day, Crayson finally turned up.
The moment she saw Crayson, Veronica immediately sat up and looked at him with a hopeful gaze. “W-Where is he?”
During the past three days, no one knew how long and torturous her days had been. Even she herself wasn’t aware of how strong her self-control was to restrain herself and not let herself go insane.
Crayson was dressed in a loose set of black clothing and canvas shoes. In the few days they hadn’t seen each other, his beard had grown a lot longer. Walking into the ward, he glanced at Veronica, seemingly avoiding her burning gaze in a guilty manner as he shook his head. “No, we haven’t found him.”
“Y-You haven’t found him yet? It’s been three days already, and you can’t even find him?”
Veronica felt her emotions gradually lose control. The news brought by Crayson completely crushed all her hopes and expectations. She thought that his appearance would bring good news, but she did not expect that there was still nothing at all. So, when Skyler and the others did not answer the phone, it was also because they were struggling to find Matthew.
“That day, the car washed down from the river avenue and fell into the river. It was dark, and the water was swift, so they were swept away and went missing after that.”
Crayson frowned sadly at Veronica’s thin appearance, feeling heartbroken. “Silly brat, don’t be sad. If we can’t find him, it means he’s not dead. It’s a good thing.”
He fell into the river. Veronica’s mind was full of the nightmare she had the other day, when she also dreamed that Matthew had fallen into the river, and the last thing she found was a floating corpse that was so swollen she could not see its features. She slowly closed her eyes, hiding the grief and despair in her gaze.
“What about Caleb and the others?” she asked feebly.
“They are all looking for Matthew,” Crayson replied, sounding a little forlorn and disappointed.
“I understand. You’ve worked hard recently, so hurry up and go back to rest.” Veronica forced a smile and said, “Master Crayson, you’re right. Not finding him is good news.”
