Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 261 Pretending to Be Unconscious

“That information is confidential,” Matthew answered coldly before giving Thomas a side glance. Then, the former turned and entered back into the ward.

Acknowledging what Matthew’s gaze meant, Thomas walked up to Hendrey and said in a polite manner, “Mr. Johnson, since Miss Murphy is still unconscious, please come back another day.”

Knowing that Matthew was not keen on having him here, Hendrey was rendered helpless. Eventually, he nodded and replied, “I’ll come back when she wakes up.”

After saying that, Hendrey took another glance at the ward and left.

In the ward, Veronica continued to lay unconsciously on the bed. She only opened her eyes when it was completely quiet outside. Glancing at Matthew, who was sitting beside her, she immediately started acting. “Why are you here? Ouch… Why was I unconscious?”

She covered her head with her hands and gasped in pain.

The man sitting in the chair immediately stood up, reached out to touch her forehead, and asked out of concern, “Does your head hurt?”

“Well, yeah… It hurts a lot.” Veronica nodded, closed her eyes again, breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, “Why did I suddenly black out…”

She used up almost all the acting skills she learned throughout her whole life.

However, Veronica was not aware that there was something abnormal in her body, so she did not think much when she decided to lie.

Even though what she said was meaningless, Matthew paid attention to her every word.

His heart clenched tightly when he heard what she said.

It had not been long since she left the underground chamber, but she fainted again in such a short time. There was also no cause that could be found.

Would she be in a dangerous situation if this went on?

There seemed to be an alarm constantly ringing in Matthew’s heart, making him even more worried.

He was usually a calm and collected man, but his stern face was currently painted with worry. His aloof expression had faded away and was slowly replaced by gentleness. At that moment, even his gaze was laced with concern.

As his burning gaze fell on Veronica, Veronica swallowed subconsciously when she opened her eyes to meet his.
