“They’re coming? Really? Veronica’s face lit up. “That’s great. I miss them so much.” I’m glad they’re coming so I can verify if they are, in fact, Crayson’s men. In the meantime, she was terrified because she feared that her parents were also men arranged by Crayson. It meant they had deliberately created the illusion of a “happy family” for her, and if this was true, then her world would collapse..
“You and Mat are about to get married, so of course they’re coming,” Crayson added.
“Mat and I are getting married?” She tilted her head to look at him, her eyes clear, but her heart was increasingly sick and disgusted. Nevertheless, she was relieved that she had her memories. If she had lost her memories, she might have believed his words and married Mateo foolishly, forgetting Matthew, who loved her deeply. The mere thought of it caused her heart to ache so severely that she could not breathe.
“Yes. You and Mat have been in love since childhood and have already reached the marriageable age.” Hayley smiled gently. “He loves you very much.”
“If it weren’t for saving you, Mateo wouldn’t have been beaten up by Matthew like this. Mateo is willing to give up his life for you. I have seen his love for you with my own eyes,” Crayson said, smiling kindly and looking very believable.
It was said that a person’s appearance could reveal their true nature, but he was born with a kind and gentle face that belied his sinister and cunning personality. Hence, the so-called appearances were all fake.
“Mat is so foolish to have done that.” Veronica felt sick while talking to them but couldn’t refuse and had to play along. In the meantime, Xavier and Hendrey stood beside the elevator, then walked over and heard everything they said.
“Roni, don’t listen to their lies!” Xavier was worried and didn’t want to see her being manipulated by them. He found it ridiculous that Crayson had asked her to marry Mateo.
On the other hand, Hendrey remained calm and silent, watching everything without saying a word. His deep and cold eyes were full of chill, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and turned to leave.
After seeing Hendrey’s reaction, Veronica felt guilty, feeling that she owed him a lot. When he was kidnapped years ago, she didn’t save him. Therefore, he must have been very disappointed with her.
“Get lost! You have no say here.” Crayson scolded, pointing at Xavier. “You and Matthew are cut from the same cloth.” With a wave, he ordered the nearby bodyguards to take Xavier away.
However, Veronica gave Xavier a cold glance and ignored him. Then, she continued to look at Mateo lying in the ICU room. “Master Crayson, where’s the washroom? My stomach hurts.” She covered her stomach and spoke while looking uncomfortable. ‘Go straight to the end of the hallway and turn right.”
Since Veronica couldn’t go into the ICU room to use the bathroom, she had to use the public one. While she went to the washroom, Xavier, who was being dragged away, looked at her and felt she was signaling him with her eyes. He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination. Suddenly, he understood her gesture and kicked one of the bodyguards in the leg. pushing him away. “Let go! I can walk by myself!”
One of the bodyguards fell to the ground, while the other was thrown against the wall and was. in so much pain that he held his head. After that, Xavier pointed at Veronica. “You’ll regret it sooner or later.” Then, Crayson nervously took a few steps forward, but Xavier had already walked down the stairs before Crayson could stop him.
Nevertheless, Veronica didn’t even look at Xavier and went straight to the washroom. While Hayley stood at the ICU door, she pulled Crayson aside and said, “We’ve sealed her memories for two years. So, we must keep these people away from her. Otherwise, the truth will come out sooner or later.”
