Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 563

"I don't want an apology. If I catch you selling scraps again, you'll have to return to your home."

With that being said, Caleb left the apartment without looking back. After walking quite a distance, he entered the car and drove away.

Though, it did not take long before he turned on the surveillance footage through his phone to check on Abby. Through the footage, he could see that she was wailing on the couch with her head buried in her kneecaps.

His stomach was churning with mixed feelings as he listened to her wail. She eventually fell asleep on the couch after crying for a while.

At first, he intended to leave her just like that. But, in the end, he just could not bring himself to do it. He then made a detour back to the apartment, and carried the sleeping girl to the bed.

As he laid her down onto the bed, she suddenly shuddered and let out a whimper in her sleep before hugging his arm. Curling up into a ball, she began sobbing as though she was in extreme pain.

"There, there. Everything's okay." Caleb sat by the bed, thinking that he might have gone too far just now and frightened her.

Soon, Abby fell into a deep sleep and let go of his hand. He stared at the girl who slept like a little kitten. And no one could possibly hate her with how her baby cheeks made her look like an adorable child.

Raising his hand, he hesitated momentarily before reaching for her cheek. While he caressed her cheek softly, his heart raced uncontrollably, as though it would pop out of his chest at any time. It was the first time he felt such fluttering sensations.

At that moment, Skyler's words rang in his head, which irritated him and prompted him to leave right away.

On the other hand, Veronica, who was hospitalized, had finally regained her consciousness. The first thing she saw was a haggard-looking Matthew sitting next to her bed.

"You're awake?" The moment he saw her eyes open, he lurched forward and asked gently, "Feeling better?"

She looked at him with hollow eyes as she parted her pale lips to speak, "The baby. Is the baby okay?"

She placed her hand on her belly, worrying that something went wrong with the baby.

The man smiled gently as he ruffled her fringe. "The baby is safe and sound, but you have to stay in the hospital to avoid a miscarriage, or it'll be dangerous."
