Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 493

Veronica's eyes brightened with hope. "Is it my husband? Have my two sons come to see me?"

The doctor patiently reassured her, saying, "You will find out once you go out and see for yourself."

Eagerly, Veronica hurriedly got out of bed, hastily getting dressed and vigorously combing her hair in front of the glass window. She adjusted her hospital gown, tying a pair of long johns around her waist and securing the loose gown. In her mind, she believed she looked incredibly fashionable and nodded with satisfaction.

In the reception room, Veronica's wish came true as she spotted Anthony. Overjoyed, she rushed toward him, exclaiming, "Darling, you've come to see me!"

However, Charlie intercepted her path, coming to a halt in front of her.

Veronica's mood suddenly soured, and she scolded, "Who do you think you are? How dare you block my way! If you don't watch out, I'll have my husband deal with you!"

Charlie glanced at Anthony, seeking his guidance.

Anthony nonchalantly instructed, "Let her pass,"

Charlie appeared perplexed. Given Veronica's current state, retrieving the watch would prove challenging.

However, he reassured himself that money had a way of resolving difficulties. If Veronica refused to cooperate, he could persuade the doctor to administer a sedative before searching for the watch.

Veronica felt a surge of satisfaction as Charlie stepped aside. Being a member of the Crawford family, she expected to be treated with respect, just as it should be.

With a bashful demeanor, Veronica approached Anthony and softly addressed him, "Darling..."

Anthony raised his hand, placing a talisman on her forehead.

Veronica's eyes widened in astonishment.

Charlie opened his mouth but found himself momentarily speechless.

Even the doctor displayed skepticism and astonishment.

How could Mr. Anthony engage in such mystical practices? Could it possibly be effective? It seemed too mysterious to comprehend…

The doctor wondered if it was because he had to treat patients in the psychiatric hospital he now perceived everyone as mentally ill.

He could only hear Anthony ask, "Where's the watch?"

Just as Charlie began to doubt whether Veronica would retrieve it, he saw her obediently taking out the watch from her pocket.

Anthony reached out, and she placed the watch in his hand.

After inspecting it, Anthony handed the watch to Charlie and instructed, "Send it for thorough maintenance, cleaning, and disinfection,"

Charlie quickly took hold of the watch.

I didn't know Mr. Anthony could do that!

Anthony removed the talisman as Lilly claimed that it would turn to ashes automatically upon removal.

He retrieved a disinfectant wipe from his pocket and left the room, wiping his hands clean as he left.

Veronica stood there in a daze until the nurse escorted her back to the ward. Anthony was near the hospital gate when she snapped back to reality.

"No... Don't leave!" Veronica erupted into madness. "Don't abandon me! I've given birth to two sons for the Crawford family, with no recognition for my hard work!"
