Chapter 389 Dying From Overexertion in Bed

Yvonne continued sobbing into the phone. Veronica could not hear what Zac was saying, but she was

dumbstruck by what Yvonne had said. After a while, Yvonne said, “Zac, I… I’m not good enough for

you. I can’t give you my everything anymore. I’m sorry…”

She hung up the phone and threw her phone onto the ground. Veronica stuck her thumb up and

declared, “Good job!”

Yvonne grabbed some tissues and wiped her tears as she lamented, “Conrad is trash! He toyed with

my feelings and used me, and he even fooled around with other women. Since I have to suffer, I want

him to suffer… even more than I have.”

Her body began to tremble again as she wailed. “It’s good that you’ve come around now.”

Veronica patted Yvonne on the shoulder. “There there, don’t cry. It’s not worth spilling your tears over

such scum.”

“I know you’re right, and I know it’s not worth it, but still… still…” Yvonne sputtered and sobbed. She

kept on crying, and Matthew began to massage his forehead in annoyance.

Ring, ring! Suddenly, a phone started ringing.

This time, it was Veronica’s. She took it out and saw that it was Sean calling. Her lips twitched a little as

she shushed Yvonne again. “Shh! Stop crying. I need to answer this.”

Yvonne immediately held her tears back.

“Veronica, where are you right now?” Sean asked as soon as the call connected.

He did not sound pleased which was understandable since it was currently working hours.

Veronica felt a prick in her conscience. She scratched her head and scrambled to find an excuse. “I

apologize for the inconvenience, Mr. Ludwig. I… My period came, and my cramps are killing me. I even

forgot about informing you.”

“…It does sound rather serious from the sound of your voice. Did you go and see a doctor about it?”

Sean asked.

Veronica started working sometime before the Christmas break and was a model employee the entire

time. She kept to her hours and never came late or left early, so Sean had a pretty good impression of

her.

Therefore, he was willing to believe that this was an unexpected incident since it was the first time that

Veronica had done such a thing.

“I just… left the hospital.”

Veronica did her best to make her voice tremble and sound weak.

“Okay, take the day off and rest then. Will this affect your trip to Castron with Mimi tomorrow?”

“No, no it won’t. Don’t worry, Mr. Ludwig.”

“That’s good.”

Once the call ended, Veronica sighed in relief.

As soon as she put her phone away, Yvonne pulled her into a hug. “Thank you so much, Roni. If it

weren’t for you, I’d probably still be in the dark about all this.”

“I’m just glad you’re okay,” Veronica replied.

She finally felt at ease now that the issue with Yvonne had been resolved. Despite everything, at least

she no longer had to worry about this.

The car pulled into the basement parking lot at Twilight Club, and Veronica brought Yvonne up to the

unit on the 38th floor of Twilight Condominium.

Yvonne had stayed here before, so it was familiar to her.

She stayed in the guest bedroom just like last time.

As soon as she entered the room, she closed the door and buried herself under the sheets without

saying anything.

Veronica knew that Yvonne was in a terrible mood right now, so she left her be.

Once she returned to the living room, she saw Matthew standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

She went over and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

The window looked out on the bustling city of Bloomstead. From where they were standing, they could

enjoy the view of the dazzling high-rise buildings, the web of car-lined streets, and the flurry of activity

as the people went about their lively days.

Matthew glanced at Veronica and pulled her close. He wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged

her from behind.

Resting his chin on her head, he spoke in that attractive voice of his, “Don’t you only have eyes for

Yvonne right now? Why would you pay any attention to me?”

“What now? Are you jealous of Yvonne? Matthew, did you descend from a line of green-eyed

monsters?” Veronica commented teasingly.

Matthew smiled and continued to hold her in his arms.

“Matthew, thank you for all your help today. Even though you said that it won’t cause trouble for you, I

know that Zac isn’t stupid, so he’ll find out the truth eventually.”

Veronica sighed. “Zac is a prince of Castron, so there’s no telling what might happen if he takes

offense.”

Now that she thought about it, she realized that Matthew would do anything that she asked him to.

He did everything she wanted regardless of its consequences!

She was deeply moved by him.

“Either way, he won’t be looking into this for now.” Matthew bent down and kissed the top of her head.

“You’re right. Yvonne was very cunning. Zac must be focused on getting his revenge on Conrad right

now.” Veronica smiled in amusement at Yvonne’s actions.

Yvonne was bold and decisive with her feelings.

However, the baby she was carrying… really made things difficult.

“By the way, I need to make a business trip to Castron tomorrow,” Veronica informed Matthew.

“For how many days?”

“I don’t know yet.”

“Take good care of yourself over there.” Matthew was worried, so he added, “Do you want me to come

with you?”

“It’ll be fine. It’s just a business trip.”

As an employee, she had to have her company’s interests at heart.

“I’ll need you to help me take care of Yvonne. Make sure she gets all three meals delivered to her.

When you have the time, see if you can get that chatterbox, Skyler, to come over. He might be able to

get Yvonne out of her funk.”

Skyler had a lively and easygoing personality which made him an expert at cheering people up.

“Ask him to come over and spend some time with Yvonne, or maybe take her around town. What do

you think?” Veronica really wanted to help Yvonne get back on her feet.

“Is it fine to leave two singles alone like that?”

“Of course. Would it be better if they were two married people?” Veronica retorted.

Matthew chuckled. “You’re absolutely right, Roni.”

He caressed her face. “You must be hungry after all this. I’ll go order something.”

“I feel like eating your prawn porridge, though. What should we do?”

Veronica turned around and smiled mischievously.

Matthew got a little restless at the sight of her cheeky face. He nudged her fair and pretty face as he

said, “I thought you would’ve said that you wanted to… snack on me.”

Veronica’s smile vanished. “What is running through that head of yours all day, Matthew?”

Matthew bent down and whispered into her ear, “You.”

“You…” Veronica was at a loss for words, so she glared at him instead.

Was this still the same cold and distant Matthew that she had known?

He looked every bit the part of a proud and reserved gentleman, but when they were alone together, he

was always so… so… shameless.

“Maybe you should go and find some other woman then. I’m not worried about you, but I’m worried that

I might end up dying in bed.” Veronica pouted jokingly.

“Okay. I’ll go find some other woman now.”

Matthew released Veronica from his grip and turned to leave.

“Hey! Matthew Kings! You sure about that?” she exclaimed in fury while pointing at him. “If you go

looking for another woman, I’ll see to it that it never rises again…”
