Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 228 Eternally Grateful for Your ‘Help’

“The bet’s over so you’ve lost.”

Matthew simply said that and his words were final. He didn’t give Veronica a chance to renege on her words.

She pouted unhappily but suddenly, a thought crossed her mind and she mentioned, “Yes, the bet’s over. So, I admit defeat. Although we can’t be buddies, we can be sworn siblings, right? What say you, bro?”

As she said that, she shot a look at the trio by the side. At that moment, the trio was staring at her intently and they were clearly engrossed in catching the conversation between the two.

As soon as Veronica’s gaze landed on them, they instantly shifted their eyes and pretended to be deep in conversation with each other.

At that moment, she lifted her eyes and reached out to cover her mouth while whispering softly to Matthew, “Even if you saved my life, I would never forgive you for the fact that you drugged me. You’re a horrible man. The fact that you’re a horrible man doesn’t change even if you saved my life.”

He was significantly speechless. Instantly, the smile on his face disappeared and he was very tempted to open up this woman’s head to check out her brain and find out what was exactly inside her mind!

He no longer bothered to talk to her, so he went to the side and sat down to chat with his buddies.

Shortly after that, someone from Delisio Restaurant delivered their meal with everything that Veronica had ordered. It was a sumptuous meal indeed.

Thomas took out the dining table and laid the lavish feast on the table as they sat down together to enjoy the meal.

They were currently in the hospital, so no alcohol was allowed. As such, they held glasses of orange juice in their hands and toasted Veronica with their glasses of juice.

“Congratulations for escaping danger, Veronica and Matthew.”

“You’ve survived such a dangerous situation so things will definitely improve leaps and bounds from now on.”

“I hope that things will go smoothly for you guys from now on.”

“Get well soon.”
