Chapter 670 He’s Finally Back
Since Matthew was mute, he couldn’t say anything. He could still sign words with his hands even though they were tied, but he was just thrashing around and shaking his head frantically at this point. Tiffany felt at peace just to see how desperate and helpless he looked. She spread her lips into a smile as she saw him wailing in pain. Her laugh made her sound almost like a mad woman.
Veronica narrowed her eyes before turning to look at Thomas, who was standing beside her. They exchanged glances and communicated only with their eyes. The very next second, Veronica lifted her hand up and pointed a gun directly at Tiffany before firing.
Bang! Her attack was swift and accurate, and it hit Tiffany directly in her chest. “Ah!” Tiffany let out a loud cry. The bodyguards immediately tried to shoot Thomas and Veronica when they saw what happened. However, Thomas and Veronica had already done a backflip to land behind the bodyguards by then.
The bodyguards had fired their guns only to realize that they had shot their colleagues who were standing on their opposite end. “Ah…”
“F*ck. I hit the wrong person…” a bodyguard muttered.
“What are you guys doing?!” a voice cried.
“Help me…” someone called.
“You guys are useless. You guys are supposed to kill Veronica and Thomas!” another one cried.
…
While everyone was caught up in the chaos, Veronica shot the bodyguard in front of him. Once the man collapsed, she snatched his gun and pointed it directly at Matthew, who was sitting in the wheelchair. She shot him once, and her bullet accurately landed right in the middle of his forehead. He died on the spot.
“Hurry up and run, Mrs. Kings. I’ll protect you!” Thomas stood in front of Veronica to keep the other bodyguards away from her. “Don’t worry. I’m not going to die from this. We can split up and run,” she cried. Then, both she and Thomas ran in opposite directions while shooting anyone who chased after them. About 20 minutes later, Veronica managed to get rid of the last person who was chasing after her. It wasn’t hard work at all.
However, she was alone in the dark, and she had no idea where Thomas had gone. She could hear faint gunshots in the distance, but she was too tired to continue running, so she simply sat in silence while waiting for Thomas to deal with the rest of the people. All of a sudden, she heard a soft rustling from beside her. Vigilance surfaced in her eyes, and she lowered her body from where she was sitting on the ground as she held onto her gun with both hands. “Don’t move!”
She could feel that the person had stopped moving, but the person didn’t seem like he was about to say anything, either. She froze for a few seconds and blinked before spreading her lips into a smile. “I was about to find a stepfather for my kids if you had disappeared for any longer, you know,” she teased.
“Hah. Is that so?” This was a voice that Veronica hadn’t heard in eight months. There was a twinge of pain in her chest when she first heard his voice. The pain seemed to spread all across her body, and it made a lump grow in her throat. Her vision started getting blurry.
Matthew reached over and tugged on her hand before pulling her into his arms. “I’m sorry I put you through all of that pain, silly girl,” he muttered.
Veronica wrapped her arms around his waist before burying her face in his chest. She couldn’t bring herself to say anything for a moment—all she wanted to do was to inhale and take in his familiar scent.
Matthew stroked her smooth hair in a gentle manner while he gazed at her lovingly. He had one arm around her waist, and he desperately wished that he could hold her forever. “I took a peek at our kids. They’re ugly. They don’t look like either one of us,” he muttered. He couldn’t resist the urge to fool around. “How could my son be so ugly? I’m Matthew—Mmmph!”
Before he could finish his words, Veronica had already pushed him away and started punching him on his chest. “You b*stard. Couldn’t we have had a discussion first? Do you know how worried I was? I was nearly scared to death!” She was fuming, and she released all her pent-up rage as he punched him in the chest.
Matthew stood in his spot without moving, and he allowed the woman to punch her however he wanted. “Is that so? I couldn’t tell that you were worried about me, but I sure was impressed by your amazing acting skills.”
He lifted his hand to pinch her on the nose.
