Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 225

Finally, Veronica took a long-needed breath and opened her eyes after three minutes of resuscitation, which felt like eternity.

"Roni, you've finally woken up!"

"Ah!"

Before Matthew could finish his sentence, Veronica instantly clutched her head with both hands and rolled on the ground in utter pain. "It hurts... My head... My head hurts... Help me..."

Earlier on, Matthew had noticed Veronica's odd behavior in the water, but he assumed it was because she had run out of stamina.

Watching her torment before him made him realize that her condition was triggered and her head was hurting badly once again.

A generally resilient woman like Veronica was now clutching her hand and screaming in pain. What she was experiencing now was way above her tolerance threshold and her tears could not help rolling down her face.

It was the first time that Matthew had felt such helplessness upon seeing the woman he loved suffering out of torture. She... looks like she is

suffocating...

He had always regarded himself as invincible up until this moment; he looked at her in torment as she struggled on the ground and he was at a complete loss of what to do for her.

With her hands still clutching over her head, Veronica began hitting her head onto the ground.

As soon as Matthew saw that, he quickly reached out and placed his hand in between the ground and her forehead to create a cushion-barrier.

The ground surface here was not flat at all and the rocks had jagged edges all around, so she would immediately bleed and be injured if she continued hitting directly on the surface.

The spot where he placed his hand was covered with jagged rocks that protruded out beneath.

Meanwhile, Veronica was in so much torment and she repeatedly banged her head on the ground. In fact, she hit her head against Matthew’s hand and after several attempts, his hand was pierced by the jagged rocks and blood trickled down his hand.

"It hurts... Help me... Matthew, sobs... Matthew, I'm in pain... Sobs..." She hugged her head and squatted on the ground as she hit her head against the ground repeatedly. In the end, she sobbed helplessly.

Her sobs felt like a knife lodged in Matthew's heart and it was hearttwisting for him to see her in such a state. He had never felt this much despair in his life as to watching his beloved woman tormented in front of him and yet, there was nothing he could do to help her.

Finally, a constructive idea had popped into his head—medics!

"Roni, just hold on. We’re about to get out of here," he comforted her while freeing his other hand to grab his phone. He opened it and lifted it high as he tried to search for a phone signal around this area.

However, there was not the slightest bit of phone signal available at all.

As for Veronica, she continued to sob in pain. Matthew could not bear to witness this for another second, so he lifted his hand and ruthlessly attacked her on the nape of her neck.

The woman who had been previously sobbing hard suddenly felt darkness descend upon her as she fell into an unconscious state once again.

At that point, Matthew finally realized that she had actually been successfully resuscitated during his continuous CPR attempts. After regaining her heartbeat, she had merely been in an unconscious state.

Presently, she was no longer complaining about the pain while silently being unconscious on the ground.

Suddenly, Matthew had a random thought that crossed his mind. If I had stopped her from entering the water with me just now, would she have tagged along without me knowing? And if she had done so, wouldn't she have died if her condition was triggered in the middle of her swim?

With this in his mind, he was left with nothing but shock and fear.

He removed his jacket and covered Veronica with it. Subsequently, he lifted his head to look at the steep way out. He placed his phone in his pocket and headed over to scan the area as he tried to find a suitable spot to climb out.

At last, he decided to enter the water and swim to the opposite side before climbing out from the other side of the wall.

The uneven edges of the wall were a perfect climbing spot and he stepped on the protruding rocks while grabbing hold of the crevices on top, slowly but surely, he was reaching the top.

So, let's recap. Not only did Matthew have his right hand torn by Veronica, his left hand had also just been smashed by her on the edged surface.

Each time he exerted pressure, blood would trickle down his wrist to his elbow and his white suit shirt would be stained with bright-red blood.
