In the hospital room, it became quiet and still. After some time, William, who was lying on the accompanying bed, slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Jasper on the other bed not far away.
He will help her find Lawrence.
Because he knew that Lawrence had become a thorn in her heart, he believed that only by truly finding
Lawrence could he remove this thorn.
Otherwise, her heart will always be thinking of Lawrence!
Even though he’s afraid that if Lawrence is still alive and appears in front of her, her thoughts of him will turn into romantic feelings, he still wants to take a chance. He wants to bet that he is more important to her than Lawrence, that his years of love for her are much deeper than Lawrence’s love for her in less than a year.
He bets that she will fall in love with him in the future!
Therefore, he will help her fulfill this wish and help her find
Lawrence!
The next day, Jasper took the initiative to visit Veronica’s hospital room and asked about her condition.
Actually, Mason had also been in Veronica’s hospital room yesterday, but she hadn’t woken up yet.
“I’m sorry for dragging you into this,” Veronica said.
“It’s okay. We were both kidnapped together. If it was just one of us, it would have been even scarier,”
Jasper said. “But I was useless and you had to protect me and distract the kidnappers. They were after you…”
“It’s nothing, luckily Mason arrived in time,” said Veronica.
“Yeah, luckily I met Mason!” Mason stuck out his tongue and said, “By the way, are you and I, Mason, okay now?”
Veronica nodded.
Jasper smiled, “In that case, Mason won’t be in a bad mood all the time, but… does that mean he’s going to stay at your house?”
Although Mason and Veronica have made up and she is happy about it, she feels a sense of loss in her heart when she thinks about Mason leaving the Reed family to live with the Barlow family.
Veronica was taken aback, she hadn’t thought about this question before.
However, in the end, when she was discharged, Veronica did not return to the Barlow family. Instead, she stayed with the Reed family.
According to Grace, Veronica is the only one who has experienced this kind of thing, and since the case is still unsolved, it’s possible that there are still kidnappers out there who haven’t been caught.
If the kidnappers seek revenge against Veronica, she will be safer staying with the Reed family.
And Veronica has just been discharged from the hospital, and there are members of the Reed family who can take care of her.
On the Reed family’s side, Veronica’s room has already been arranged right next to Mason’s room. The bedding and other essentials in the room are also brand new.
Looking at this bedroom, Veronica couldn’t help but admire the efficiency of the Reed family. From her kidnapping to hospitalization, it only took them a day to set up such a bedroom.
“If there’s anything else that needs to be replaced, just let me know,” said Grace.
“I don’t need anything else, this is good enough,” said
Veronica.
“Then you rest here for a while. If you need anything, I’ll have Mason go to the Barlow family and bring it over for you later,” Grace added.
“No need, I can go back by myself.” Veronica quickly said, “Actually, my injury is not that serious and it doesn’t affect my ability to walk. Besides… um, there are some things that are not convenient for
Mason to help me carry.”
For example… your own underwear!
At this point, Veronica’s face blushed slightly.
Grace seemed to have realized something and smiled, saying,
“Okay, let Mason accompany you to get it.”
However, it was said that Mason accompanied Veronica to the Barlow family to pick up some of her usual items, but in reality, they were also accompanied by the bodyguard of the Reed family.
When the two returned to the Barlow family’s home, there was no one there. Veronica took some of her personal belongings. and replacement clothes, which were only some close-fitting clothes. She put them in a drawer under the wardrobe, which required her to bend down to retrieve them.
Just as she was about to bend down, a hand was placed on her waist to stop her movement.
“You have injuries on your waist and back, don’t bend over. What do you need? I’ll help you get it,” he said.
Her face turned red involuntarily. How could she let him help her carry it? “I can do it myself,” she said.
But he insisted, saying, “I’ll take it.”
The two of them stared at each other for a while, and finally
Veronica spoke up again, “You can’t take the things inside.”
“I know, it’s your personal clothing, right?” he said. “I won’t look, I can take it with my eyes closed. In a moment, I’ll take the clothing out of the drawer, you can take what you need and put it away, and then
I’ll put the rest back.”
After speaking, he didn’t wait for her to respond. He closed his eyes and bent down to open the drawer.
The fair fingers retrieved her clothes from the drawer and placed them in her hands.
Veronica was a bit stunned, then quickly put the clothes into the bag. “Okay, that’s enough!”
“Is there nothing to put back?” he asked.
“I…I don’t have any more,” she said, her face turning slightly.
red.
He then bent down, closed the drawer, and opened his eyes.
He looked at her slightly blushing face and asked, “Are you blushing because I helped you carry those clothes?”
“Hmm?” She was taken aback, only seeing him gradually. leaning down, his handsome face facing her.
“But Veronica, I always thought that we should be the closest people. When we were young, you always protected me, helped me. bathe, helped me dress, and hugged me to sleep. I could be completely honest with you about everything, but Veronica, you can’t, can you?”
Looking at Mason in front of her, the word “yes” seemed to get stuck in her throat, making it difficult to say.
“Veronica, am I the closest person to you?” he asked softly, his deep black eyes filled with hope.
“Yes.” Finally, this word “yes” came out of her mouth.
His lips curled up into a smile that bloomed on his face. “So, I will always be Veronica’s closest person, okay? We will always be together.”
She pursed her lips. In her heart, he was more than a relative by blood, he was a loved one.
But forever…how far is forever?
They are slowly growing up and in the future, they will have their own loved ones and families. It’s impossible for them to always be together.
But in the face of his smile, these words became unspeakable.
Maybe he didn’t want the smile on his face to disappear.
After organizing their clothes, Veronica and Mason planned to leave, but Archer and Rosalind happened to come back.
As soon as he saw Veronica, he hurriedly approached her and said, “Veronica, your brother has been detained. You need to think of a way to rescue him!”
“Yeah, the police station called and said he’s a suspect. They claim that all the kidnappers identified him as the mastermind. If he’s really convicted, what will he do in the future?” Rosalind said with a worried expression on her face.
Yesterday, the couple spent the whole night at the police station trying to bail out their son, but they couldn’t even see him in person.
Kidnapping… especially when one of the victims is Jasper from the Reed family.
Upon realizing this fact, they felt a strong urge to faint. Even though their son can be a bit stubborn and reckless at times, they never expected him to be so audacious and daring!
Veronica looked at her father and stepmother in front of her.
Since she woke up in the hospital yesterday until she was discharged today, she never saw them in the hospital.
Those who care about her are the Reed family, who are actually her relatives! But when they met, they didn’t ask how she was injured. Instead, they immediately demanded that she hand over her brother.
At this moment, Veronica feels an indescribable chill in her heart.
“Veronica, did you hear me? You must tell the police that Lionel is innocent. You can’t let your brother go to jail!” said
Archer.
“Dad, it was Lionel who called and took us to the private room at the nightclub that night. He also drugged me and Jasper. Do you really think he’s innocent?” Veronica looked at Lionel and spoke.
Archer was suddenly speechless and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Rosalind said, “Lionel must have been threatened by those bad people! No matter what, he couldn’t have done something as terrible as kidnapping. Anyway, now that you’re safe, you can’t let him go to jail!”
The words was said so casually.
Veronica turned her head and looked at her stepmother coldly. “Do you think I’m fine, so you can just pretend nothing happened? Being drugged and tied up in the wilderness is nothing? Almost being violated is nothing? Having a gun.
pointed at my head is nothing? Do you think all of these are nothing?”
Rosalind was left speechless by these questions and could only manage to say, “But…you can still walk and stand, can’t you? Your brother is the one who’s been detained and has lost his freedom…”
“Is that enough talking?” a voice interrupted Rosalind’s words.
Mason’s cold expression made Rosalind and Archer shiver with fear.
After spending many years together, both of them naturally knew what kind of personality Mason had. If Mason is really angered at this moment, their son won’t be able to come out of jail.
The two of them chuckled awkwardly. Archer said, “Um…
Mason, your Auntie Rosalind is also worried about Lionel. Actually, she’s very worried about Veronica too! She hasn’t slept well since last night and has been worried about Veronica’s injuries. When she heard that Veronica wasn’t seriously injured, she breathed a sigh of relief. We were actually planning to go to the hospital later to see Veronica, but who knew you guys would come here just in time.””
Veronica found these words even more ironic. If her father and stepmother were really worried about her, how could they not have come to the hospital yesterday?
Even though they originally planned to go to the hospital to see her, it was probably just for the sake of her younger brother.
