However, Veronica couldn’t do that! In contrast, Matthew’s arrival did not surprise Crayson and Hayley. Instead, they stared at her, waiting for her to respond.
“Matthew Kings!” she hollered while pulling a dagger from behind. ‘I was just looking for you! Who knew you’d show up yourself?!” Her voice was so loud that Crayson and the others thought she was furious. In reality, she was just raising her voice to alert Matthew.
After that, Veronica made a beeline for him, and he followed suit. They were about 30 feet away from each other as they ran in opposite directions. Seeing her was safe and sound, he instantly felt relieved and smiled. “Roni?” he called out as he dashed toward her, pulling her into an embrace.
Strike! Veronica brandished the dagger and stabbed Matthew in the chest as she scowled, “Go to hell, Matthew Kings!” Her voice was loud and filled with rage. It echoed across the entire corridor, so Crayson and Hayley could hear her clearly.
When he hugged her tightly, the sharp pain in his chest pulled him back to reality. His chini rested directly on her head, but since he was injured, his body went limp due to pain, and his actions became sluggish.
“Matt, our child is still in Crayson’s hands. I haven’t lost my memories, so please play along with me!” After uttering the string of words, she prayed silently that Matthew would understand her. Then, she shoved him away and pulled the dagger out of his wound. Following that, the blade was dripping with bright, red blood.
“Mr. Kings! As Lazlo witnessed the unfolding events, he was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support Matthew. Matthew clutched his chest tightly at that moment, and the throbbing pain forced him to stagger backward. However, he couldn’t peel his eyes off the woman before him. Confusion and shock were written all over his dark orbs. She said, ‘Matt, our child is still in Crayson’s hands. I haven’t lost my memories, so please play along with me!’
She hasn’t lost her memories! She remembers me! That was absolutely great news for him. Despite the stinging pain that made him convulse, he was glad Veronica was alright. Anyway, he was a great actor too. “Roni, y-you-” He was about to say something while clutching his left chest and pointing at her, but he spat blood after blurting a few words.
“Matthew Kings, you were the one who sent Mat to the ICU and nearly killed him. You even killed our child! Never in my life will I forgive you!” She raised her voice and pointed the blood-coated dagger at him furiously. In reality. her chest hurt as she worried about him.
Fortunately, she knew that his heart was positioned differently than that of others. His heart was on the right side, while most people had theirs on the left. Hence, she had no choice but to stab him in the “heart” for Crayson and Hayley to believe her.
“Roni, 1-1-” Matthew wanted to finish his sentence, but he had to act as if he were dying. So, he leaned his body on Lazlo while panting heavily.
“Are you insane, Mrs. Kings? That’s Mr. Kings right there! How could you try to kill him?!” Lazlo was infuriated as he couldn’t understand why she did that.
“I haven’t even killed him yet!” Veronica grabbed the dagger tightly as she pointed to Matthew. However, she was silently screaming in her heart, Go, Matthew! Go, already! Despite her act, he had fallen unconscious before she could do anything.
After seeing that, Lazlo panicked and yelled, “Doctor! Are there any doctors here?! Where’s the doctor?!” Soon, a doctor heard the commotion and saw her pointing the dagger at Matthew as she growled, “I’m going to kill him! I must kill him!”
