Veronica’s face lit up. “So you’ll complete your studies domestically?”
“Yes,” Mason replied.
“That’s great!” she exclaimed, but then she seemed to remember something. “Will you still go abroad for further studies in the future?”
“Even if I do, I’ll go with you! If you don’t want to go abroad, then we’ll just stay here together,” he said.
Veronica felt a wave of sweetness in her heart. “We’ll be together in the future and won’t be separated, right?”
“Otherwise?” he looked at her. “Did you forget what you promised me?”
His voice, once cold, now seemed a bit dangerous.
“I didn’t forget, of course not!” Veronica quickly said, leaning in to kiss Mason’s cheek. “I love you so much, how could I bear to be separated from you? I just wanted to confirm it because I was afraid you might forget.”
It seemed that since they had opened up to each other after experiencing life and death together, she had become bolder.
Mason’s cheek turned red, and he stared at Veronica. “You–” but his tone was no longer dangerous.
Instead, he seemed a bit confused and cute.
This kind of Mason made Veronica unable to resist teasing him. After all, she hadn’t seen him look so cute in a long time.
“Do you like it when I kiss you?” she asked.
He pursed his lips and gave her a white look. “Why are you asking this?”
“If you like it, I can kiss you more in the future. Of course, if you don’t like it, I’ll try to be careful not to make you unhappy,” she said, her eyes shining.
This expression clearly shows that they are watching their prey fall into a trap.
Mason remembered when they were younger, sometimes Veronica would tease him just for fun, enjoying the sight of his blushing face.
Even though he knew she was teasing him, he would still along with it, obediently answering and blushing. And when he saw her smiling face, he felt warm inside.

“…I like you.” His thin lips spoke the truth, and his cheeks turned even redder.
She gazed at his increasingly crimson cheeks, unable to resist reaching out and gently cupping his face. “Our Mason is becoming more and more handsome.”
“You…like me?” He whispered.
“Of course I do. From the first time you came to my house when we were kids, I thought you were very cute, like a doll. Back then, I even wanted to dress you up in a little dress and put your hair in pigtails to make you look even cuter.” She said.
Speaking of which, this was also her childhood regret.
At that time, she wanted to dress him up like a doll, but he never agreed.
Mason felt a headache coming on when he heard this.
“But back then, you were pretty and cute. Now, although you’re still cute…”
Veronica didn’t finish her sentence before Mason interrupted her. “I don’t think I’m cute at all now.”
“You’re very cute, especially with your blushing face. It makes me feel like I want to take care of you like a big sister!” Veronica said, planting several kisses on Mason’s rosy cheeks.
Seeing Veronica still wanting more, Mason held her face and said, “Do you know how easily that sentence you just said can be misunderstood?”
This sentence could easily lead to misunderstandings, but he didn’t say it out loud.
“Misunderstanding? Did I cause you any misunderstandings?”
Veronica blinked and said, “But I don’t think there’s anything to misunderstand. Your current appearance is really attractive, and it’s only natural for me to be attracted to you!”
Oh my god, her words were like a catalyst to him!
At this moment, Mason only wanted to push the person in front of him down and kiss her fiercely, making her understand the consequences of teasing him…
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded, “Oops, did we interrupt you guys?”
Veronica turned her head and saw Jasper and William standing at the door of the ward. William’s expression was normal, but Jasper was staring with great interest.
Huh?!
Veronica only realized afterwards that her and Mason’s posture at the moment was incredibly ambiguous!
Both of them were holding each other’s faces, and it seemed like they were about to kiss in the next second!
“N–no, you misunderstood!” Veronica quickly let go and explained.
Mason then slowly let go of her, but unlike Veronica’s flustered expression, Mason looked as if nothing had happened.
“Veronica, what do you think I misunderstood?” Jasper asked with a burning gaze, innocent yet cunning.
Well, now it was Veronica’s turn to blush and feel at a loss for how to answer Jasper’s question.
Mason spoke up, “Alright, what are you here for?”
“Of course, I’m here to see you. Mommy also asked me to tell you that the police will officially prosecute Daniel next week. You and Veronica will need to testify in court, of course…” Jasper smiled at Veronica, “Mommy said if Veronica doesn’t want to testify, she can apply not to attend.”
However, the operating procedures at that time will be a bit troublesome.
“No, I’ll go to court!” Veronica said, “I am the main victim and witness, it is only natural for me to go to court!”
“But Veronica, will you be okay if you do that?”
“Don’t worry about me, I’m just going to court to testify against a killer!” Veronica reassured Jasper, who was worried.
“Okay, anyway, Mommy will come to the hospital with Daddy tonight, so you can just tell Mommy when the time comes,
Veronica.” Jasper said.
“Okay.” Veronica agreed.
“By the way, in about a week, Mason will be discharged from the hospital. Veronica, do you want to stay at our house too?” Jasper suddenly suggested.
Veronica’s face turned red, “Stay…stay at your house?”
“Yes, although Mason will be discharged from the hospital, his mobility will still be limited. Veronica, you have been taking care of Mason all this time, so why not stay at our house together to make it easier for you to continue taking care of him? Besides, you have stayed at our house before, and your room is still there.”
In the Reed family, there is a room for Veronica. When Mason used to live with the Barlow family, he would sometimes need to stay at the Reed family for a few days, and Veronica would often accompany him there.
Naturally, the Reed family also prepared a room for her.
Later, although Mason had a falling out with Veronica and went abroad, Veronica’s room in the Reed family was still kept and no one had touched it.
It was only now that Veronica learned that her room in the
Reed family was still being kept.
Jasper’s suggestion was very much appreciated by Mason.
Mason looked at Veronica and asked, “Do you want to stay at my house and take care of me?”
Veronica’s face turned even redder. She hadn’t thought much about living with him before, but now it felt like they were cohabiting, even though…well, there were other people in the house.
But facing Mason’s direct gaze, Veronica answered honestly,
“Of course, if it won’t be a bother to your family.”
“Why would it be a bother? My parents would be thrilled if you stayed with us,” Jasper quickly interjected, adding, “And
Mason would be happy too, right Mason?”
“Yes, I would be happy,” Mason replied calmly.
Veronica felt like her face was on fire and couldn’t help but admire Mason’s ability to answer so calmly without changing his expression!
Unlike her, who couldn’t hide her emotions at all.
After spending about an hour in the hospital room, Jasper and William left.
Curiously, Veronica asked Mason, “How come my room was kept? Weren’t you studying abroad at the time? Did you really want to keep my room?”
She was being a bit subtle, but strictly speaking, she thought he would have wanted to erase everything related to her, which was why he chose to hypnotize his feelings away.
“I did consider getting rid of your room. On the night before
I left for my studies abroad, I stayed in your room all night and thought about whether to throw away everything inside!” Mason replied.
“Then why didn’t you?” Veronica asked curiously.
“I couldn’t bear to. I was afraid that if I threw everything away, I would never be able to find it again,”
Mason said.
Even though he hated her at the time and wanted to erase his feelings for her, he was still conflicted about her.
So in the end, he hypnotized his feelings away but kept her room.
“I’m sorry,” Veronica held Mason’s face and said, “If only I had realized my true feelings earlier, we wouldn’t have gone through such a big circle.”
“If you really feel sorry, then love me even more,” he said.
“Okay,” she agreed, kissing him on the lips, so sweetly!
From now on, she would love him constantly, giving him lots and lots of love, all the love she hadn’t given him before.
Once, he was her little brother, but in the future, he would be the one who would accompany her for life!
After Jasper and William left the hospital, Jasper suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Did Daniel really say that Lawrence encouraged him to do all this?” he asked.
“Yes,” William replied. “But the police have already questioned
Lawrence, and he didn’t admit to anything. At the same time,
Daniel’s testimony is just one–sided, and there is no evidence to prove that it was really Lawrence who encouraged him. It could be that Daniel deliberately implicated someone else to reduce his own guilt.”
“If he really wanted to implicate someone else to reduce his guilt, why would he implicate Lawrence?
