Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 56

The person in the car behind the ambulance was so shocked that they turned the steering wheel and immediately stopped.

Then, Veronica quickly jumped from the ambulance and rolled on the ground, but she had hurt herself everywhere.

Since the ambulance siren had been loudly turned on during the entire journey, no one in the driver’s seat could hear what happened in the compartment.

Therefore, she successfully jumped from the ambulance, but after falling on the ground, she wasn’t able to stand on her feet due to the pain she felt.

She lay on the ground and watched as the ambulance drove farther away to make sure that the people in the compartment didn’t follow her.

Then, the woman from the vehicle behind alighted from her car and shouted while pointing at her. “Hey, are you blind? Did you know that I almost crashed into you?”

“I’m sorry.”

Veronica stood up and bowed to the woman with sincere apologies. At first, she wanted to use her phone to call the police but was scared that the Larson Family already had the cops on their side.

In the end, she decided to ask the woman, “Can you give me a ride?”

The woman was dressed in a black professional attire with black-rimmed glasses and resembled a corporate elite.

After thoroughly looking at Veronica and the ambulance that drove away, the woman answered, “There’s no way I’m giving you a ride. However, I can call the police for you.”

With a vigilant mind, the woman was naturally being cautious after witnessing the shocking situation.

“Then, can you lend me your phone for me to make a call?” Veronica asked while holding her belly

She hadn’t recovered from that muscular man’s fierce kick.

“Alright.”

After the woman handed the phone to her, Veronica gave Cody a call. “Cody, I’m at the intersection of Preston Road and Pines Street, which is fifty meters to the east. I need you to hurry up and pick me up. Right now!”

After the call, she returned the phone to the woman, but just as she was about to leave, the ambulance sirens were suddenly heard again.

Veronica paled at the situation because when both women turned to look at the direction of the sound, they discovered that the ambulance, which had already driven off, was now turning back.

“Can you please let me hide in your trunk? You can go anywhere you want, and I’ll come out afterward. Is that okay?” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

She took the woman by the hand and begged.

When driving the car earlier, the woman saw everything that happened in the ambulance, including the scene of Veronica jumping from the ambulance. Now, to her, Veronica felt like an injured civilian whom she should help. Otherwise, she would feel guilty.

“Okay. Quickly go in.”

The woman entered her car and unlocked her trunk.

After thanking her, Veronica went around the back of the car and crawled into the trunk. She then closed the lid and shouted, “You can go now!”

In the end, she hid inside the woman’s trunk. As the sound of the ambulance faded into the distance, she finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Matthew had an ominous feeling after receiving the call from Thomas in the hospital.

Even though Veronica really wanted to leave then, she clearly looked exhausted when he entered her ward to see her. Not only did she refuse to sleep, she was even adamant on leaving the hospital.

After connecting her kidnapping and last night’s fire to the issue of the hospital’s surveillance video today, he couldn’t help but realize one problem, which was… Veronica had to be in danger!

Matthew’s phone suddenly rang, and when he glanced at his phone on the table with a cold gaze, he saw Thomas’ name flashing on the screen.

He went over to the table and answered the call. “Have you found her?”

“I’m currently trying my best to look for Miss Murphy. However, I just received a call from Castron, saying that there is a problem with our branch there. They need you to travel to Castron immediately to deal with it.” Thomas briefly explained the situation to Matthew on the phone. Before waiting for Matthew to respond, he quickly continued, “Young Master Matthew, I’ve already booked a plane ticket and it’s departing in half an hour.”

There weren’t a lot of scheduled flights from Bloomstead to Castron, so he could only book the earliest one since the subsequent one was seven hours after the current flight.

As the issue in Castron was an emergency, they were running out of time.

Matthew had alway prioritized his work, but after hearing what Thomas said earlier today, he was slightly hesitant.

“Matthew, come in,” Elizabeth called from her ward, so he hung up the phone and entered the room.

As he entered, she waved at him and said in a stern tone, “I just received a call from Castron about the problem there. You must head there right now.”

She had also received a call at the same time as him.

Elizabeth initially thought that Matthew would immediately pack his things and rush to Castron after learning about the situation, but she was surprised to see his hesitation.

Apart from Elizabeth, even Tiffany was aware of his expression.

Everyone in the business world knew that Matthew was a workaholic, but he was now delaying his work because of Veronica.

Since when did Veronica become this important to him? Tiffany remained calm on the surface, but jealousy was already filling her heart.

“Grandma, I’m not comfortable with Matthew going to Castron alone. Can you let

me accompany him?” Tiffany latched onto Elizabeth’s arm and asked affectionately,

This was a good opportunity for Tiffany to spend some time alone with Matthew in Castron, so she didn’t want to miss out.

More importantly, she realized that his concern for Veronica had far exceeded her expectation, so she had to keep an eye on him to prevent him from finding any clues that could bring the entire Larson Family into chaos.

Elizabeth didn’t like the idea of having Tiffany around her all the time, so she saw this as a good reason to get Tiffany off her back.

Therefore, she nodded her head in agreement and looked up at Matthew. “I can see that Tiffany’s love for you is sincere. You should bring her to Castron with you. After all, she is your fiancee,” she said fervently.

Her tone was commanding as if there was no place for negotiation.

Listening to her, Matthew’s eyes turned slightly cold, but before he could decline, Tiffany revealed a gentle smile and thanked Elizabeth in excitement. “Thank you, Grandma. I’m glad to have you around.”

“No need to thank me. Time is running out. You should go back now and pack your stuff. We can’t afford to be late.” Elizabeth reminded her.

“Okay. I’ll head back and pack my bags now.”

Tiffany didn’t expect to easily receive Elizabeth’s approval, so she quickly stood up and told Matthew, “Matthew, wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”

Even though they were engaged, she had always stayed in the Larson Residence and never had the chance to be intimate with Matthew.

This time, if they were to travel to Castron together, she had to make the most of this opportunity to turn herself into the ‘real’ Mrs. Kings.

Meanwhile, the man glared at her with a chilly face that bore a hint of displeasure.

Even though Tiffany had seen Matthew’s expression, she ignored it and walked past him to leave as she only wanted to hurry home to retrieve her passport.
