Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 642

Skyler was stammering, but he spilled the truth in the end.

He was hit in the chest? Veronica stiffened up, and a chill ran down her spine. She could feel her heart starting to palpitate. She turned her attention to the scenery outside the window in an attempt to hide her pain from everyone. "And then what happened?" she asked.

"We were surrounded by enemies. Matt and I trusted Troy to watch our backs, but that b*stard ran away before we even knew it. We took Matt and left the hotel, but Zac's men kept coming after us. Then, the car fell into the river, and… and…"

Skyler started sobbing and clenching his fists. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't speak.

Caleb approached Skyler and patted his shoulder. He told Veronica calmly, "We've sent our men to search for him. You should stay calm. Getting agitated won't be good for the baby."

Caleb was a police officer. He thought he wouldn't get affected by something like this after the many similar cases he had gone through, but this incident still got to him.

"You guys can take your time with the search. There's no rush." She heaved a sigh and tried to hold her tears in. She put on a tough look and turned around. "As long as I don't see his body, he's still alive."

Her voice was soft and gentle, just like a stream flowing silently in the mountains. She seemed calm, but on a closer look, anyone could see that she was faking it.

"I'm really impressed, Roni." Skyler gave her a thumbs up. "We won't let you down. We'll find him."

"Thank you. Matt's lucky he has friends like you." Veronica was grateful for their help.

The gentlemen were surprised that she was consoling them. It changed their opinion of her a little. They stayed in the ward for a long time. They thought they would have to console her, but in the end, she didn't need it. Eventually, they left.

The trio stood outside, looking worried.
