Veronica had ruined Conrad back at Yvonne's place, but she heard that he hired a top international andrologist to heal him. Guess it must be going well.
"You're just asking for it now!" Conrad flew into a rage and raised a hand against her.
Yvette's heart skipped a beat, and she tried to step in.
However, Veronica caught his wrist in a tight grip, stopping him from moving. She hissed, "If we're both going to die, I'll make sure you go before I do." She flung his hand away.
For some reason, Conrad staggered for a while before he found his bearing. No one knew whether it was due to her force being too strong or the ground being all slippery.
She then left after that.
…
When Veronica returned to the city center in the afternoon, she asked Shirley and Monica out for tea.
The ladies knew how much Matthew's disappearance had impacted her, so they didn't bring his name up.
Someone texted her while they were chatting. She took her phone up and clicked on WhatsApp to check from whom she received the message. It was from Xavier, and he had sent her a photo.
He saved her life at the wedding, and she was hospitalized after that. He left without saying goodbye, and they had never contacted each other since then. She opened the photo and saw a red invitation card emblazoned with golden words. It was a petite card, but she could feel the class it radiated.
Xavier texted her again a moment later.
'My wedding's in two days. Wanna come?' he asked.
