“I’m going to answer the phone,’ said Matthew. He greeted Veronica, got up and walked out of the ward, closed the door, and stood in the corridor to answer the phone. “Matthew?”
Liam identified Matthew’s name correctly. Liam, who had been kept in the dark, finally knew Matthew’s identity because of what had happened in the past few days.
“Who is this?” he asked. “Liam Ledger. My mother learned that Eleanor had allowed you to escape. She was so furious that she not only beat Eleanor but also imprisoned her in the water dungeon. Do you even know what a water dungeon is?” the other party informed of his name and then said directly. Matthew frowned slightly but stayed silent, waiting for the other party’s following sentence.
“As the name implies, the water dungeon is where you have the prisoner immersed in the water. In the palace, she is the first royal to be punished by being imprisoned in the water dungeon.”
Despite being a womanizer, Liam had his own set of rules. Eleanor, in particular, was the only sister close to him in the palace. He was really upset and frustrated now that she was injured because of Matthew.
“What do you need me to do?” asked Matthew. He was let go by Eleanor. Therefore, he naturally expected Tanya Ledger to be enraged and punish Eleanor.
He just wasn’t expecting that she would be put in a water dungeon. The consequences of Eleanor’s injury and immersion in the water dungeon would be disastrous.
“How can you help? You can’t even protect yourself, yet you want to save Eleanor? Her chances of survival in the water dungeon are uncertain, and now there are still people out there who want to kill her!” Liam snorted lightly, expressing his dissatisfaction.
“Remember, you will always owe Eleanor your life if she dies just like that!’ Liam immediately hung up the phone after saying that. Matthew clutched his phone, walked to the bench in the corridor, and sat down, reflecting on what Liam had just said.
He would not sit quietly by if he knew someone was attacking Eleanor, and sho would not die. Liam’s phone call was most likely to inform him that he owed Eleanor a debt of favor that he couldn’t repay.
“Matt, what’s the matter?” Skyler came out of the ward feeling concerned for Matthew who was sitting helplessly on the bench. “The leader of the hidden clan imprisoned Eleanor in the water dungeon to save me,” he said concisely.
“The water dungeon?” “Eleanor is also the leader of the hidden clan after all. Why is the head of the clan so ruthless? Skyler asked with a frown as he approached him and sat next to Matthew.
“When I was trapped and eventually escaped, I destroyed the important instruments and equipment in the résearch room and got rid of two important people as well. She was probably upset because of the significant. losses.” Matthew concluded with that..
Furthermore, he met Skyler after leaving the study room and also fought fiercely with others. This caused much damage to the research institute and the loss was immeasurable.
“That’s just one of the reasons. I believe Tanya Ledger is upset because you are Veronica’s husband, Skyler responded. Skyler could guess it even though Matthew didn’t say anything. But he still sighed. ‘Eleanor is really brave, which is admirable. If she wasn’t an enemy, I think we could be friends with her.”
In the next few days, Matthew and Skyler stayed at the hospital, never moving a step from the building. Crayson and Hayley Elrod wanted to visit Veronica in the hospital many times, but they were all turned away.
Matthew never told Veronica the truth about his injury. Because once he told the truth, it would only increase the guilt and pressure on Veronica. It’s better not to say it instead. The hunting ceremony was declared “completed, and Hendrey and Antheena’s troop was declared the winners.
