Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 5680

Just then, outside the door.

Seeing as no one was answering, Heather bit her lip hesitantly.

It seemed that Veron had not waken up yet.

At the thought, Heather turned to leave. She wanted to come back the next day, before deciding that she would leave the medicine behind since she was already here.

Upon making her mind up, Heather pushed the door open slowly.

Creak!

Antigonus' brows furrowed from where he had been hiding behind the door, racking his brain for a plan on what to do.

Heather just had to come at a time like this, didn't she?

Fine, then. He would send her right to hell, along with Veron.

Heather did not realize that danger was incoming, her gaze immediately falling onto Veron as she entered and called out softly. "Sister Veron?"

Due to the room's lights not being turned on, Heather could not tell if Veron was still unconscious or not and went closer to check.

Yet just then, Antigonus' gaze flashed from where he stood behind the door. He did not hesitate at all, raising his left hand to strike fiercely in the direction of Heather's chest.

Sensing this, Heather trembled as she moved instinctively to dodge the blow— but it was all too late.

Thump!

Heather's heart vein was shattered immediately as fresh blood sprayed from her mouth. She collapsed onto the ground, falling unconscious immediately.

Seeing that one blow alone did the trick, Antigonus smirked cruelly as he strode towards Veron.

Yet before he could strike, a group of patrol guards had rushed over.

"I heard something from over here!"

"Yeah, it seemed to come from Miss Veron's room."

"Come on, let's go take a look…"

The sounds floated over as the footsteps grew denser by the second.

Antigonus cast a glance at a still-unconscious Veron. "You got lucky this time." Upon saying so, Antigonus wasted no time before leaving the room at top speed and disappearing into the night.

Just as he had left, the Elysium Gate pupils arrived.
