Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

The director of the hospital stood in front of Matthew and apologized repeatedly upon noticing Matthew’s

enraged expression. “Young Master Matthew, we’ve done the most extensive body check for her.

Besides, you have to trust our capabilities. We’ve indeed examined her and run all the tests carefully, but

we can’t identify anything wrong with her at all.”

As Matthew recalled the incident from that night, he felt that it was indeed strange and full of mystery.

There was in fact something in the jar of water, but it was invisible to the eyes. Furthermore, he had seen

a bulge on the back of Veronica’s hand moving within her.

As for the jar, it was completely empty when they went back for it. This was an indication that someone

deliberately prevented him from uncovering the truth. He was confidently sure that there was something

in there that was scentless and colorless.

“Leave the room!” He waved his hand and slammed the document onto the table as he retorted.

Everyone then swiftly left the room.

Meanwhile, Matthew sat in the room for quite some time before finally grabbing his phone to call his

buddy, Skyler. “Drew, come over to the private hospital right now.”

“No sh*t, Matt! Caleb and I were just about to visit you. Are you at the private hospital? Sure, we’ll be

there right away.” After hanging up the phone, Caleb, Skyler and Miguel instantly made their way to the

hospital.

As soon as they met up with Matthew, he truthfully shared with the three of them everything that had

happened in the underground maze. Subsequently, he turned to Skyler and requested, “You’re great at

holistic therapy, so please, examine Roni to see if you can identify anything wrong with her.”

“What’s the actual situation? I’m creeped out by your words.” A grimaced Skyler was significantly

spooked by Matthew’s words.

“This is actually quite creepy. We do need to investigate this further,” Miguel responded.

Meanwhile, Caleb—a senior police inspector—asked, “In regards to that maze, are you planning to keep

it off the records?”

It was an underground maze that could be valuable archaeologically, therefore, it should logically be

reported to the authorities.

Faced with Caleb who was a stickler for being responsible, Matthew could not help but smile resignedly.

Nonetheless, Matthew was not angry. “I would definitely report this to the authorities but I haven’t figured

out what’s going on just yet, so I need it to be kept a secret for the time being.”

Caleb was aware that Matthew was a righteous man, so he was not too surprised by Matthew’s reply.

They sat together in the room and watched as Skyler moved a foldable chair and sat next to Veronica.

Then, he placed his hand on her wrist and shut his eyes to feel her beating pulse.

For many years, Skyler had actually stopped working or providing treatment for anyone in this field. If it

was not for the injured Veronica, he would not have made the exception.

He checked her pulse carefully and it lasted for two minutes. Subsequently, he glanced at Matthew and

shook his head. “Other than a weak liver, there is nothing wrong with her at all.”

“There is nothing wrong with her at all?” Matthew frowned and sat up with an anxious look on his face.

“Drew, has your skills deteriorated?”

“Did you do it properly? This doesn’t look as simple as it seems.”

Miguel and Caleb spoke up one after the other.

Seeing how they were doubtful of him, Skylar continued to feel Veronica’s pulse once again.

Two minutes went by and the outcome of the examination returned the same; everything was fine with

Veronica, there was nothing wrong with her at all.

However, the situation became more odd as the reality showed the opposite.

In the afternoon, Thomas came back with the analysis report of the two bowls. The result indicated that

everything was normal and there was nothing out of the ordinary. The result itself made everything seem

increasingly mysterious and odd.

After a period of discussion, Matthew suggested that everyone hide the truth from Veronica. The

common consensus was that they would tell her the creature in her body had been removed through

extracting her blood.

At last, Veronica finally regained consciousness in the afternoon.

She opened her eyes and looked around with a weakened pale face. She could only see white walls

surrounding her as the smell of antiseptic filled her nostrils. I must be in the hospital.

With a tilt of her head, she scanned the surroundings and saw Matthew by her side, who had an infusion

drip on his arm.

The exhausted Veronica remained in bed and glanced weakly at the ceiling. “Is there any food here? I’m

hungry.”

She had not eaten for the past two days and despite the administered glucose, she craved to taste

something and have a proper meal.

“Miss Murphy, what would you like? I’ll buy you something,” the attentive Thomas instantly walked to her

side and asked respectfully.

“I want… croissants, scrambled eggs, porridge, pork schnitzel, pork sausages…” She lay in bed while

reciting a bunch of food that she craved.

Thomas was rendered speechless as the list went on and on. Finally, he muttered, “Miss Murphy, can

you finish all that food that you asked for?”
