Chapter 1000 Shaving

However, as soon as he grabbed the person's neck, he quickly released his grip. "Roni?"

It was pitch black at night, but he recognized Veronica's scent and knew it was her.

"Are… are you trying to murder your own wife?"

Veronica was rubbing her neck because she was just choked.

Before she could finish speaking, Matthew pulled her into his arms. "Why are you here?"

At that moment, the need to hug the person for whom he thought day and night overcame the pain of

his wound.

Sensing his care and concern, Veronica smiled as she felt incredibly warm and happy.

She gently patted his back with her delicate fingers as if she were soothing a child and remarked, "Be

careful with your wound."

"Let's stay like this for a little while longer." Matthew would not let her out of his embrace, so Veronica

remained still and let him continue to hug her.

A few seconds later, he released her and leaned in for a kiss on the lips.

The moment his face touched Veronica's face, she pushed him away. "Hey, your stubble is scratchy! It

looks like you haven't shaved in days," she said while laughing.

She was joking and laughing, but deep down she was in pain.

She knew that Matthew must have been unable to sleep or eat while also being depressed and worried

during the few days she was missing.

With her hands on his cheeks, she gently stroked his chin with her thumb.

The newly grown stubble left a green mark and was hard and prickly.

Even though they couldn't see each other in the dark, they could still feel each other's smiles.

Veronica held Matthew's face in both hands, placed a light kiss on his lips, and immediately let go of

him. "You're not healed yet. Sit down and rest."

Then, she stood up, switched on the ward light, and drew the heavy curtains.

As she looked at his pale and haggard face, she felt a pang of sadness.

Veronica approached his bed, sat down, and took his hand in her palm before turning to look at his

wound.

Her delicate fingers caressed the bandage covering his wound. "Does it hurt a lot?"

She turned her soft, gorgeous gaze to Matthew. Her delicate face was made more endearing by the

shadow that her long curly eyelashes cast under the light.

Matthew held her hand instead and placed it on his heart. "Here. This part hurts the most."

"What's wrong? Do you have pain in your chest? Is it an internal injury?"

His heart was on the right side and the visible muscular body had no scars at all, leading Veronica to

believe Matthew was experiencing chest pain and had sustained an internal injury.

"I miss you too much, that's why."

His pale lips formed upward into a smile and his handsome face was no longer stern but rather tender.

Without batting an eye, he fixed his gaze on Veronica with intense affection, as if he feared that if he

missed a glance at her, she might leave at any moment.

After hearing what he said, she could not help but chuckle. "I didn't realize you were such a sweet

talker."

"I'm just speaking from my heart."

"Well, I miss you too."

Matthew's sincere eyes demonstrated that he meant what he said, so Veronica's demeanor became

solemn as well.

With that said, she got up and went to the bathroom.

A few seconds later, she came out of the bathroom with a box in her hand.

She sat on the side of the bed again, placing her right leg on the bed, opened the box, and took out the

razor. "Lean back here. I'll help you shave."

Matthew held her hand over the razor, a slight frown between his brows. "Do I look unattractive with a

beard?"

"No. You look very handsome with a beard."

"If so, why are you…" He was puzzled.

"It's so that I won't get pricked when we kiss!" She jokingly replied, and then said to him, "Sit tight! I'll

help you shave."

Like a well-behaved student, Matthew listened to her. He leaned back on the pillow and remained still
