“Thank you very much, Mr. Cage!” Tom is very happy, “As long as I take that piece of land in the southwest, my shareholding will be different!” He said and continued, “It was agreed within the company at the beginning! Veronica, thank you! You are such a good daughter to your father! I don’t know but you are many times better than the two ungrateful people of North family!”
Veronica narrowed her eyes slightly and stood up. “I’m about to leave,” she said.
“Well, don’t keep Mr. Cage waiting!” Tom didn’t even bother to ask her to stay. If Tom wasn’t physically affected after Veronica left, he could jump on the spot. When he gets half of the southwest, it would still be enough to suppress North Family. Then he would snatch everything from North family bit by bit. As for the North family, they should get out of place.
Veronica walked forward a little absent-mindedly, and without noticing the people coming out of the corner, she bumped into someone.
“Oh! I’m sorry.” Veronica picked up the medicine she had knocked off the ground and was about to hand it out, but she was stunned.
Toby and she looked at each other. Veronica looked down at the medicine in her hand, it was a painkiller. Veronica was surprised, ‘is he taking painkillers?’
“Have you had enough?” Toby sounds.
Veronica looked up, returned the medicine to him, and asked, “This is. Are you taking this medicine?”
“It’s none of your business, why would you ask?” Toby looked at her with a slightly gloomy face.
“Is it because of your previous vomiting of blood? Are you not okay yet?” Veronica has to ask one more question, after all, she caused Toby’s hematemesis.
Toby said nothing and turned away. The silence was the acquiescence of Veronica’s inner emotions.
As she was looking back at the figure, Veronica suddenly thought of something. She ran forward in a hurry and grabbed Toby’s arm. Toby was stunned and looked at her, and the little white hand on her arm, he was frowning slightly.
Veronica hurriedly let go of his hand, ” Can you go out through another door?”
“Why?”
“Nick is outside. ”
“Do the gate of the hospital is owned by his family?”
“No.” Veronica is embarrassed.
But she can’t help it. She had to come here at this time to see the abnormal behavior of Tom Parker, and it would be a trouble if Nick saw Toby went out in the hospital.
She doesn’t have to be affectionate. It was really the possessiveness of Nick and the city mansion was too scary.
“Since it’s not, it’s my business where I want to go!” Toby was leaving.
His arm was grabbed again. Toby looked at her impatiently.
Veronica smiled reluctantly, “Please, don’t go this way! I’m embarrassed, too.”
“Is it about me?”
Veronica bit her lips, she naturally knew that it does not matter.
“I don’t know any other way. Lead me the way.” Toby said coldly.
“You don’t know another way?” Veronica asked.
“You mean I have to find my own way out?” Toby shook off her hand and left.
“All right, I’ll lead the way!” Veronica was really defeated.
If she wasn’t afraid of being seen by Nick, she wouldn’t even bother Toby.
‘Found another way and it’s done.’ She told to herself.
Veronica was not familiar with the terrain here either. While groping, she was walking forward at the same time, it was the route away from the gate. They should be as far away as possible.
She didn’t notice that Toby, who was walking behind, had been looking at her all the time.
What’s strange for Veronica was, Toby didn’t ask her why she was in the hospital. But she shrugged it off because there was nothing to ask. They have nothing to do with each other! As soon as she thought so, she heard Toby asked, “Why did you come to the hospital?”
“Why did you come to the hospital?” Toby asked.
“My father is in the hospital. He is injured. I just came here to visit him.” Veronica rejected her logical thinking just now.
Even if there was no relationship between them, it’s okay to ask too much. Just like she would ask Toby why she came to the hospital for the same reason.
She wondered if Toby knew about that thing on the Internet. That was about her privacy. Even if, Toby saw it, she won’t dare to ask.
“Are you Tom Parker’s own daughter?”
Veronica didn’t answer and she put on a poker face, “Of course, I am!”
And then Toby stopped talking. Veronica thought that Toby knew what’s going on the Internet, otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked.
As they walked on in silence, the corridor became more sideways, and it seemed to be they were the only ones left. The cold lights and the slight footsteps on the marble seemed to hit the repressed heartbeat.
Veronica still couldn’t help but ask, “Are you taking painkillers? That medicine can’t be taken all the time. It’s not very good for your health.”
“You think I wanted to take them?” Toby was gloomy.
She was speechless. Consciously or unwittingly provoked sensitive nerves made Veronica purse her lips. “When did the doctor say it would be all right?”
“I don’t know.”
“Under what circumstances will it hurt? You can be careful.” Veronica doesn’t want him to hurt.
But Toby didn’t answer. His silence made Veronica feel more guilty and bear a heavier burden. She seems to understand when he would be in pain.
When they got to the back door, Veronica stood there and looked out, the light at the back door was dim, and she almost touched Toby’s body when she turned around. She subconsciously took a step back but forgot that there was a step behind her.
Veronica shouted as she fell back, she was frightened and dull and her heart was beating fast, and the view in her eyes was gradually replaced by the black sky. While she was waiting for the back of her head to land, she was held uptight, and her body was instantly hugged back into the warm arms.
At such a close distance, it seemed that if she moved again, her forehead would kiss Toby’s chin!
Three seconds later, she was pulled out and she stepped back. “Thank you!”
Toby’s eyes flashed, he looked coldly away and said nothing. He walked past Veronica. She looked down, and when she looked at him, she could no longer see Toby. She can only see the night and the dim light. It seems to be illusory.
It seems that she and Toby have been things for a long time, long enough to see him again, the state of her mind calmed down a lot.
She wondered if it was because of Nick, she wondered if Nick replaced her state of mind. In silence, it was replaced.
However, in the end, both Toby and Nick had no reason to move forward with her. Veronica came out of the front door and saw the black Rolls-Royce waiting in place, the car’s color was deeper than the night.
A few steps from the car, the bodyguard opened the door. Veronica stooped to get in, and the car swerved steadily away.
“Why don’t you go back to Winter Villa?” Veronica asked.
Nick’s eyes looked straight at her.
“At this time, only Peter should not have slept. I went to accompany them. I’m afraid I won’t have time to accompany them later. The station will be very busy!” Veronica said.
There was a quiet atmosphere in the air, and for a moment Nick said, “Talking for so long?”
Veronica looked out of the window, her eyes blankly out of focus, “Sometimes, I feel that people’s desire is very terrible, it obviously does not belong to their own, but they also have to fight, fight for blood, think good is boring.”
