Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

However, Xavier yelled at him angrily, “Darn it! Do my words mean nothing to you now?! Hurry up and

send us to the hospital!”

He could not care less about anything else at the moment. He felt pained to see Veronica in such a

weakened state. She was nearly unconscious, and her face was as pale as a sheet. It felt as if she was

on the brink of death.

The first time that he had watched someone he loved die before him was his mother; the second time

was Veronica. He finally realized that his love for her was so deep. Regardless of life and death or even

the threat of Matthew, nothing else seemed to matter to him at that point.

Right now, he merely wished to save Veronica’s life and send her to the hospital as soon as possible.

He was much more worried that any delay would result in her death.

“No, Veronica! I won’t allow you to die!”

Xavier gave his instructions to his people.

The driver nodded. “Sure, I’ll turn back right away.”

They had just gotten on the highway not long ago, so the best way right now was to turn back and head

in the opposite direction. If they delayed things any further, then there was a chance that she might not

make it.

Therefore, a strange scene appeared on the highway—every car was going in the right direction, but

there was one single car that was driving the opposite way.

Veronica’s action earlier had alerted the police and Matthew.

Matthew rushed over at the first instance, but he was not fast enough to catch up with Xavier’s speed.

As Xavier turned back and arrived at the toll station, he could actually hear the sound of sirens nearby.

However, his car ran through the barricades and drove on ahead without stopping. He got off the

highway and sped off in the direction of the hospital.

“Roni? Don’t fall asleep! Wake up!”

The bitterly cold wind caused shivers to run down one’s spine and Xavier held Veronica tightly in his

arms as he wrapped his clothes around her. Subsequently, he used both palms to rub her face

continuously. “Everything will be fine. I’m here for you. I’m here. Don’t fall asleep! Don’t!”

Meanwhile, on the other end, Matthew was about to enter the highway when he received a phone call

from the police.

“What?! Did you just say that the car that left before suddenly turned back?” Matthew was in confusion

as he received the phone call as he did not know what Xavier was up to.

“Yes. He rammed the barricade of the toll station and exited the highway.”

“Okay, noted.”

Subsequently, Matthew asked for the direction Xavier was headed and instructed Thomas to turn the

car around and follow Xavier.

“Young Master Matthew, since Xavier has gone onto the highway, then he must have something else

up his sleeves. What could have happened to make him turn back?” Thomas asked curiously and he

obviously wanted Matthew to analyze the situation for him.

However, at that moment, Matthew sat inside the car with his mind blank as a sheet. He could not help

the bad feeling that welled up within him as he lifted a hand to touch his right eyelid. His eyelid was

twitching non-stop involuntarily. Could it be that Roni…

“No, that’s not possible.” He gripped his phone tightly to the point that his knuckles turned pallid.

He muttered, but Thomas did not catch on, which prompted him to ask immediately, “Young Master

Matthew, what did you say?”

“Hurry up and step on it,” Matthew instructed the driver while taking out his phone to type something.

He accessed the security camera footage and successfully located Xavier’s car.

Following that, he dialed a call to someone. “Hurry up and send someone after this car immediately.

Check where he’s headed.”

It was Caleb on the other line. After all, there were some things that he could be of great help with.

On the phone, he sensed that something was amiss with Matthew, but he did not dare to pursue things

any further. He instantly contacted some man to handle the matter.

Ten minutes later, Matthew received a phone call from Caleb. However, Caleb remained silent for quite

some time.

“Say something!” Matthew held his phone tightly in his hand with a racing heart.

“Matthew, well… You… I think you should head over there yourself. They’re at the ER of the People’s

Second Hospital.”

As soon as he heard the words ‘ER, his phone slid out of his hands instantly.

Thomas had worked for Matthew for many years, but he had never seen his boss in such a desolated

state at all. Thomas picked up the phone and handed it to Matthew right away before asking, “Young

Master Matthew, what’s wrong?”

Matthew’s eyes were dull and he was momentarily stunned before replying weakly, “People’s Second

Hospital. Get me to the People’s Second Hospital right away.”

Despite his calm and soft voice as if everything was alright, the fact that he was behaving stoically was

enough to prove that he was not in the right state of mind.

This was the first time ever that Thomas had seen this side of Matthew.

Suddenly, something dawned upon Thomas as he immediately turned to instruct the driver, “Hurry!

Send us to the hospital as quickly as you can!”

As soon as the driver heard Thomas’ words, he stepped harder on the accelerator. Finally, they raced

through traffic and arrived at the People’s Second Hospital.
