"That's great, then." Veronica did not bother to ask any more questions as she straightened herself to lift her head to look at Matthew, who was right in front of her. He was as handsome and charming as before.
She tiptoed and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Is this considered an effort to grant me and our child a blissful life?"
He furrowed his dark brows slightly before nodding solemnly. "Yes, of course. If I don't work hard right now, how will I be able to provide for my wife and kid in the future?"
"Well, things aren't that bad. We don’t require much and you can just provide us with the most basic things."
"No, that's unacceptable. I would definitely want my woman to lead a blissful life."
"I feel the happiest as long as I am with you."
"Is that so? Can I take this as your confession of love for me?"
Veronica smiled shyly. "I guess so."
"You should rest more, then."
As Matthew spoke, he leaned forward and swept her into his arms before walking into the hospital room and putting her on the bed. "The doctor put you on bed rest, so you should do that."
"My back aches from lying in bed for too long."
"How about I give you a massage?"
"It's no longer sore." Veronica hurriedly came up with an excuse as she could not bear to get him to give her a massage.
He looked exhausted and the dark circles around his eyes were rather prominent. Clearly, he had been staying up till the wee hours of dawn and had not been getting enough rest.
As such, she shifted her position slightly on the hospital bed and tugged his hand. "Hey, lie down next to me. I want you to hug me."
In actuality, she felt for Matthew and wanted him to take a rest by lying down for a short while.
"I haven't changed out of my dirty clothes."
"It's alright." She shook her head.
