Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

“Hahaha. Good. Good. I feel very good.”

Tony was grinning from car to car as he looked at Matthew and said, “My laughter has been spoiled by her mother since young. Don’t take what she said to heart.”

“Yes, yes. She’s ignorant. Young Master Matthew, don’t get angry.”

Daniella knew that Matthew had noble status, so she dared not call him by his first name, which was why she called him ‘Young Master Matthew

“I won’t.”

A smile appeared on Matthew’s cold face. “The doctor said that Mr. Murphy’s physical indicators are normal, and he can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.”

“Hahaha. Thank you. It’s all thanks to you.”

“Yes, the old man is right. Young Master Matthew, if it weren’t for your help, I don’t even know when he would wake up.”

Daniella was extremely grateful toward Matthew, and she didn’t forget to tell Veronica, “We owe Young Master Matthew such a huge favor. You have to treat him to dinner tonight. Got it?”

Veronica pursed her lips and wanted to refuse, but seeing her adoptive parents’ happy smiles, which she hadn’t seen for a long time, she couldn’t bear to refute.

She could only give them an unhappy nod. “All right.”

She didn’t want to see Matthew acting pretentious in front of her adoptive parents, so she turned and walked out of the ward before going straight to the nurses’ station.

At the nurses’ station, Veronica reported the ward number to the nurse and asked, “Nurse, can you help me check how much my dad’s medical expenses are?”

“Tony Murphy, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“You owe…” Looking at the bill, the nurse suddenly stopped talking and leaned closer

to the computer screen; then she mullered, “Is there i problem with the system llow can you owe so much”

“What’s the matter” Veronica asked.

The nurse counted the amouni ower on the screen, then said to Veronica windi certainty, “You owe 2,1875,824.33.”

“What? Two million..” Veronica couleu’t help exclaiming, but slie quickly covered her mouth for fear that her adoptive parents would hear her.

She lowered her voice and whispered, “Why’s the amount so high? Can you show me the full bill?”

“You were smoldering with indignation just now, but now you can’t afford to pay the

bills.”

All of a sudden, a voice sounded behind her.

Veronica turned back and saw Matthew looking at her with interest, a sarcastic smile on his handsome face.

At this moment, the nurse had already printed out the bill and was handing in to Veronica. “Here you go. This is the bill.”

The nurse was talking to Veronica, but she kept staring unblinkingly at Mattbew. Her face had turned crimson as her heart was filled with admiration.

This man is so handsome.

Veronica knew that Saint Hospital was a high-end private hospital with extremely high fees, but she didn’t expect it to be so high.

Looking at the overflowing bill, she physically ached.

Before this, the Larson Family gave her two million, but she had used 80,000 to hire a private investigator, and she paid 100,000 for the early stages of her adoptive parents’ treatment. Now, there was only 1.82 million left.

She was still more than 550,000 short of paying the medical expenses.

Where was she supposed to get the money?

“If you can’t afford it…” the man leaned close to her ear and said in a deep voice. “You

can consider compensating with your body.”

“Mom…”

Feeling helpless, Veronica was forced to resort to her ‘killer trick? She walked up to Daniella and grabbed her wrist, acting like a child. “I’m a college graduate after all, so I can’t stay in the countryside all the time. I want to see the outside world too. Not to mention…”

She thought for a long time, then finally gave a reason. “Not to mention, Xavier is still in Bloomstead. I just talked to him, and we were talking about how I can’t spend time with him if I go back to the countryside.”

It was a logical reason.

Veronica couldn’t help but want to praise herself for being so clever.

“Uh…”

Daniella hesitated, then she nodded helplessly. “You’re right. You’re dating Xavier now. If we force you to go back to the countryside, wouldn’t we be interfering with your relationship?”

Tony already heard about Veronica and Xavier after he woke up.

Seeing as Veronica was insisting on staying in Bloomstead, he sighed. “Oh, daughters all leave the house when they’re grown…”

“Oh, Dad, what are you talking about?”

Veronica pursed her lips and smiled, feeling her heart loosen up.

At least, under the guise of ‘dating, she didn’t have to go back to her hometown for the time being

In the afternoon, she accompanied her adoptive parents out of Saint Hospital for a walk. They even went shopping, and she bought two outfits each for the two elders.

When they returned to the ward, it was already 5.30PM.

Daniella forced Veronica to call Matthew and invite him to dinner. Feeling helpless, Veronica had no choice but to agree.

The dinner venue was set at Kaymite Restaurant.

After Veronica arrived at the restaurant, she sent the location to Matthew. Half an hour later, Matthew appeared in the room dressed in a tailored suit. His chiseled face was taut and as cold as frost, while his whole person exuded tension.

“You’re treating me to dinner here?”
