Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 840

Chapter 840 Just in Time

With Xavier’s help, Veronica was able to sit up straight, but since she was still weak, she could only lean on the man as the duo’s interaction appeared a little too intimate. Holding Veronica’s medication, the man carefully fed it to her mouth just when she opened it slowly and took a sip bit by bit.

Having the woman whom he loved right in his arms, Xavier felt the strong temptation to kill Zac for what he did back there when he saw Veronica’s pitiful look. Somehow, that brought him back to the moment he kidnapped Veronica because of his selfish possessiveness, but as he had grown wiser and matured over the years, he recalled the incident in hindsight and felt like hitting himself in the face with the unforgivable deed he did back then.

Nevertheless, it was precisely the mistake he made out of his impulse that brought him closer to Veronica, but even so, he couldn’t stop regretting his action. In spite of that, he was grateful that Crayson made it here in time, or he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

“I’m done.” Despite the unpleasant bitterness, Veronica forced herself to swallow the medicine. After that, she noticed Xavier’s absent-minded expression and said, “Hey, Xavier.”

Upon snapping out of his trance, Xavier slowly helped Veronica lie back down and placed the empty spoon on the table. Then, he grabbed a piece of napkin and wiped her mouth. “Have some rest. The doctor said you’ll be up and around again in no more than ten minutes.”

Suddenly, Veronica knitted her eyebrows. “Xavier, can you bring me my phone? It’s in my pocket. I’d like to make a call.” While she had absolutely no doubts about Matthew’s combat skills, she couldn’t help but wonder what was taking him so long to come to her. Is he in danger or something? Worried and anxious, she immediately contacted Mateo to request his help in searching for Matthew. As soon as she finished her words, she heard someone knocking on the door outside the room. At that moment, her eyes brightened up as she wondered whether it could be Matthew.

“I’ll get the door.” Xavier rose from his seat and stepped outside the bedroom. Is it Iron Pillar? Or could it be Zac’s men who have come for retaliation? Xavier wondered to himself while approaching the door. As the knock on the door grew more and more rapidly, he quickly grabbed the door handle and turned it, only to realize their visitor was none other than Skyler. “What’re you doing here?” Xavier was taken aback by Skyler’s sudden appearance.

However, Skyler was not in the mood to answer Xavier’s question; he shoved him aside and walked further into the room. “Where is Roni? Xavier, I’m warning you. If you ever lay a finger on Veronica, I swear I’m going to make you regret it!”
