Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 984

The sentiment was especially true after Matthew broke Zac's left arm. Every time he was reminded that his left hand was now just half an arm, hatred for Matthew would blaze to life once more in his heart.

Hendrey did not respond.

Zac glanced at him and ducked his head down in thought. Then, he chuckled, and his entire demeanor immediately softened. "I admire you. Why don't you work for me instead of Buckner? You'll be well-rewarded."

Hendrey was only working with Zac because Hendrey's secret master commanded him to follow Zac's orders.

"Am I not working for you right now?"

Hendrey looked up and shot Zac a meaningful look.

The look stunned Zac for a moment before he threw his head back in a loud laugh. "Good! That's good! You are right."

Veronica's head felt like it had been flung all over the place. Sharp bursts of agony echoed through her mind as though it would explode at any moment.

Letting out a pained moan, she held her head and slowly opened her eyes.

She was met with pitch-black darkness.

Images flashed through her mind like a sped-up movie being played. Some of her memories slowly faded away.

Where was she?

Veronica pondered with eyes wide open.

"Is she awake?"

The voice came from outside.

"Not yet."

The door swung open. At that moment, someone flicked a switch, filling the dark room with light. The bright glare hurt her eyes.

She squinted her eyes in discomfort.

Waylen's heart leaped with joy when he saw the woman on the bed cover her eyes with a hand. "You're awake, Veronica."
