Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 221 The Creature’s Dead

Matthew originally thought that by stretching his hand out, he would experience the same thing as Veronica—unknown creatures crawling under his skin. However, he reached out and nothing happened at all.

The crystal clear water became tinged in red due to his blood and the water continued to splash all over the place as if there was a torrential rain going on.

He placed his hand by the side of the bowl and waited for quite some time; still, nothing happened. After some hesitation, he placed his hand into the bowl directly.

Water’s cold.

It turned out that the cold water was the only thing that stood out, leaving it to be the same as any other plain water.

He waited for quite some time and not only did he fail to experience the pain that he was expecting, the water in both the bowls and jar also stopped splashing around. The noise gradually died down and so did the ripple on the surface before it gradually returned to a calm state.

At that point, Matthew’s expression turned somber as he frowned deeply because the situation had made him perplexed. What the heck is going on?

Veronica had merely touched the edge of the bowl with her hand, after which some creatures immediately latched onto her skin and burrowed themselves into her body.

So, Roni touched it and she got hurt, but when I do it, nothing happens? Or did I just accidentally kill off all these creatures with my blood? Blood that destroyed their ecosystem of living.

Everything was merely a guess and before it could be confirmed, no one would know the exact reason.

He removed the necktie from his neck and wrapped it around the place where his thenar muscles were heavily bitten by Veronica.

He turned around and went back to her side but she remained unconscious on the ground.

“Roni? Roni?”

Matthew gently patted Veronica on her cheeks but she gave no response at all.
