Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 50

In the living room, Veronica was nowhere to be seen, so the first thing that Matthew did was rush into her bedroom.

However, she wasn’t in her bedroom as well, but in the end, he realized that the bathroom in her bedroom was deadlocked.

He screamed, “Veronica! Veronica!”

As he shouted, he lifted his feet and kicked open the bathroom door. Using the flashlight of his phone, he saw that Veronica was on the bathroom floor.

At that moment, he immediately rushed inside to protect her face with the suit that he used to cover his mouth and nose. Then, he carried her up and ran out.

Xavier, who was standing in the corridor, first thought that Veronica was already dead. However, when he saw Matthew running out with her in his arms, Xavier froze while his eyes widened as he stared at her in disbelief.

“Veronica? Veronica?” He approached her and called several times, but there was no response.

Matthew carried her all the way downstairs and took her to an ambulance, but Xavier was denied access by the medical staff.

While accompanying Veronica inside the ambulance, Matthew finally realized that her feet and arms were burned and had blisters when the bright lights shone on her. A huge portion of her long hair with ends that fell at her waist was also burned.

Due to an excessive amount of smoke inhalation, she was now in a coma.

When they arrived at the hospital, she was admitted straight to the emergency room for treatment.

Half an hour later, she finally woke up... but in her dream.

“Ah, save me!” she screamed and sat up in shock while her head was drenched in sweat. Due to her sudden movement, she tore her wound, which caused her to wince in pain.

“Are you awake?”

“Veronica, have you finally woken up?”

Two voices could be heard next to her.

With a sideways glance, she saw Matthew and Xavier standing by her bedside.

Xavier was neatly clothed while Matthew’s outfit was in a messy state and his face was even covered in ashes, giving him a wretched appearance which was completely different from his usual image.

Then, she remembered the screams she heard in the bathroom at that time. It... really is Matthew. I was right! Why did he suddenly appear, though?

Even though Veronica was doubtful, she pretended to know nothing. “Why are you here? Who saved me?” she asked weakly.

The moment she asked for the person who saved her, the joy on Xavier’s face immediately faded away as his eyes subconsciously glanced at Matthew.

At that moment, his eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

There was a hint of gratitude, shock, admiration and jealousy...

As the various emotions surged within him, he suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone in Bloomstead knew that Matthew was a cold-hearted and ruthless man.

However, when Xavier witnessed Matthew rushing into the fire without any regard for his own life, he suddenly realized that... he cared for Veronica and was... actually in love with her.

Xavier always boasted that he liked Veronica, but he wasn’t the first to rush in when facing the roaring flames.

Maybe he thought that Veronica had died in the fire; maybe he didn’t dare to rush into the fire as he feared losing his life; or maybe there was another reason...

In short, he didn’t rush into the fire.

However, when Xavier saw Matthew carrying her out of the flames like a fiery hero, his heart was instantly filled with mixed emotions.

It felt as though something was sucked out of his body, causing him a clear sense of
