"He… He is dead?"
Veronica was still in a happy and blissful mood as her thoughts were still on the man who had been intimate with her earlier, and his scent seemed to be lingering on her.
It was like a child finally getting her favorite blueberry cake. This joy could last her a few days.
But now, she had to pretend that she was in agony because of 'Matthew's' death.
This was extremely difficult for her.
"How… How did this happen?"
She wasn't in the mood to act and had no idea how to proceed. Hence, she pretended to faint right away.
"Young Mistress?"
"Are you alright, Young Mistress?"
"Get her to the car and send her to the hospital right away!"
The conversation between the bodyguards and Thomas echoed throughout the surroundings. Then, they carried Veronica to the car. When they were loading her into the car, they accidentally used too much force and knocked her head against the car door, which luckily, she didn't yell in pain.
The car started and drove away.
She noticed that the cars behind followed as well.
Not long after, they arrived at the hospital. Veronica was still pretending to be unconscious.
She might have been caught if she had acted differently, but she was completely confident in her act of being unconscious.
When she was young, Crayson forced her to do extensive training. To avoid them, she would pretend to faint every now and then. Such deception was already etched in her bones.
After various tests and scans, Veronica was taken to the ward. She heard someone talking initially, and thereafter, Crayson and Destiny came in.
"Matthew's death was a blow too heavy for Veronica."
