Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 222 Matthew’s Infected Wound

As soon as Matthew mentioned that, the previously unaware Veronica instantly realized that he had a necktie wrapped around his hand while his wound was bandaged half-heartedly.

“What happened to your hand?”

She was full of doubt as she headed to stand in front of him and pulled his hand toward her to take a closer look. “Did I bite on your hand earlier?”

“I’m alright.”

He withdrew his hand to prevent her from further worrying and he did not want her to feel guilty or blame herself either. However, he seemed to have been presumptuous.

“You deserve it!” she snorted coldly. “This is just a minor bite wound. In the past, I was forced to the point of mis…”

The incident of her miscarriage popped into her mind and she could not help feeling annoyed all of a sudden.

Veronica experienced a bad hemorrhage during that miscarriage and nearly lost her life. If it was not for her luck, she would quite likely have died ages ago at this point. Nonetheless, this was all in the past, so she no longer wanted to bring up unnecessary matters.

She looked at the two bowls of water tinged with blood and suggested, “Let’s make a mark here and once we leave this place, get someone to analyze it to figure out what’s exactly inside.”

“I was just about to do that.” Matthew’s voice sounded exceptionally tender.

Perhaps it was because there were some feelings of guilt and self-blame that arose within him after hearing Veronica’s unfinished sentence.

“Let’s go.” She turned around and walked out of the study room while Matthew trailed closely behind her.

They made their way around the massive chamber. In fact, it was better described as a maze than a chamber.

There were many rooms inside; there was a huge clubhouse, a study room, a bedroom and a room for producing pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, after exploring the place further, they found an armory too.

However, the weapons stored inside the armory were mostly from the ancient days. They seemed meaningful but due to their age, it was pretty much worthless even if they were auctioned.

They continued to explore the place for quite some time until Veronica finally ended up exhausted. She waved before she could proceed further. “I can’t keep going. I’m knackered! I need a rest.”
