Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 909

Thus, no matter what happened, Matthew would've done his best to protect Eleanor.

So… who was the injured one taken away on a helicopter?

Veronica's chest constricted as her eyes flew over to the direction where she'd seen the helicopter. She was terror-stricken.

It was most likely Eleanor who got injured and needed the helicopter. Matthew is definitely on the same team as Eleanor. He wouldn't stand idly by and watch her get hurt without helping, but since the helicopter came over, it means that her life is in danger. In that case, Matthew…

Veronica stumbled and nearly fell. At the same time, she detected unusual movement behind her.

She whipped around and pressed the dagger in her hand against the person's neck. "Don't—Xavier?"

Veronica was about to order the person not to move when she realized it was Xavier.

"Something's on your mind."

Xavier was grim-faced as he surveyed her with a complicated look in his eyes. "Do you not trust me?"

He knew Veronica had been lying when she said she had a stomach ache, so he followed her.

Then, he found her frozen in the same spot for quite some time as if she were a statue.

After that, she stumbled and nearly fell, which made him concerned.

"You can go back now."

Veronica put the dagger back into its sheath. "If I'm right, the helicopter earlier has taken Eleanor and Matthew away. Eleanor has known about Matthew's identity all along, and she likes him a lot," she openly stated.

Xavier's brows furrowed as his eyes flickered in thought. "Eleanor likes him?"

"Yeah, she does."

Veronica took a deep breath before sighing. "One of them has to be critically wounded, or maybe even both. You're not the only one who doesn't have to continue. I need to turn back as well."

The four-day journey into the mountain was cut short after only just one day.

Everything was happening faster than Veronica expected.

Xavier scratched his head in frustration.
