Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 277 Hijack

Crayson was both a master and father figure to Veronica. Hence, it was only normal for her to be worried.

She had asked him repeatedly to move in with her parents instead of staying in his house up in the hills, but he turned her down every single time. Now that something as grievous as this had happened, she couldn’t help fretting over him even more.

“I’m warning you, Master Crayson, if you don’t wake up right now, I’ll—”

“Oh, for heaven’s sake, can you just cut it out? I’m trying to sleep here!”

Just as she was grumbling under her breath, Crayson blinked his eyes slowly and woke up. When he saw Veronica sitting next to the bed, he stared at her in bewilderment. Perhaps the open-cranial surgery had left him a little disoriented because he couldn’t quite respond to her presence.

“Master Crayson, you’re awake!” Veronica exclaimed happily when she realized that he had regained consciousness. She patted the back of his hand while exclaiming, “Thank goodness. If you hadn’t regained consciousness, I would have thought you were a goner!” As she said this, her voice thickened without her realizing it.

Crayson softened and started to register his surroundings. When he felt Veronica clutching his hand, he let out a breath and glared at her pointedly. “Pull yourself together. It’s not like I’m dead or something.”

“Hey, don’t jinx it,” she countered cheerily. “You can’t die until you witness me walk down the aisle. In fact, I won’t let you die until after you’ve trained my kid how to wield a strong punch, so hold on till then, okay?”

Though she could joke, she was actually terrified. Then again, an average person would need about a day or two to regain consciousness after intracranial surgery. In any case, Crayson must be stronger than he looked if he woke up just hours after the surgery.

“You ingrate,” he bit out gruffly, snorting. “Training you was the most work I’d ever done, and I can only imagine how much worse it will be to train your kid. I’m not a babysitter, you know.”

“Well, if you’re against taking in little kids that much, then you should move in with my parents. The three of you can keep an eye on one another, and I wouldn’t have to worry all the time.”

He did not hesitate to reject her proposal. “No, I can’t do that. I’m used to living on my own, and it’d be awkward for me to live with your parents.”
