Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 405 The Unbearable Weight of Love

“Your leg is hurt. You should stay in the hospital, not kidnap Monica.” Veronica could never understand what was going on in Xavier’s head. It was not like he had his leg crippled for eternity; it was only a fracture. However, not only did he refuse to stay in the hospital for recovery, he came to such a sketchy place to kidnap Monica.

“Stay in the hospital?” He burst into laughter as if it was a ridiculous joke. “I do want that.”

Xavier brought his injured leg up and the spasm of pain contorted his face as he gritted his teeth. Still, he forced a smile. “What about that old man? Do you think that he will give me the liberty to stay in the hospital until recovery?”

He shook his head before gazing out of the window with a bitter smile. Veronica’s chest tightened as she did not know what to do with him.

She had to admit that she had once acknowledged him as her best friend, but she could not forgive his betrayal. Needless to say, she was very well-informed of how much pressure he had because of Hendric. It was nearly impossible for Xavier to take a good rest in the hospital.

“It’s just that you’re not willing to.” She sighed helplessly. “Hendric is in Bloomstead and he will find you wherever you go, but how about leaving the city? I don’t think he has the energy and time to track you down if you’re on the other side of the globe.”

“Don’t you get it?” Xavier suddenly turned his head with that sharp gaze of his. “I’m talking about Matthew. He ruined the Crawford Family and I became the public enemy. Everyone in the family is going against me. Do you know how exhausting that is?”

He rose to his feet with difficulty before teetering toward her to grab her arms and prod her chest. “Veronica Murphy, get your facts straight. If it wasn’t for Matthew Kings, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“What about you, then?” Veronica snapped. “Do you think that you’ve been righteous all this time? Most of the time, you totally deserve the punishment. You’ve never appreciated anything you have!”
