Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

“Don’t be so nervous. Just relax,” Larry replied, not knowing that she only mentioned that to change the

topic. The car finally arrived at the entrance of the hospital not long after. As she got out of the car,

Larry also followed suit while asking, “How long will you be here for? I will wait for you if you will be

quick.”

“There’s no need. See you!” Veronica waved and walked in front of Larry before she pointed at his

cheek. “Get in the car quickly. For your information, you are not wearing a mask, yet you’re out and

about. Aren’t you afraid you will see scandals about you tomorrow?”

“Alright. I am off, then. Call me if something happens.”

Larry then turned around to get back into his car. Stephen was still in the car when he rolled down the

window and waved at Veronica. “Bye!”

She hummed with a smile. “See you tomorrow.” Larry then started the car and slowly drove off. After

they left, Veronica, with her high heels on, turned around and walked into the hospital.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance to Yvonne’s ward, the first person she saw was Crayson sitting

on the bench in the corridor. He was still in his security uniform as he slept leaning against the bench.

She immediately felt her nose burn as her heart seemed to ache. Because she had too much to

handle, she had told him early this morning to keep an eye on Yvonne in case something were to

happen to Yvonne.

However, she didn’t think he would be here all day. “Crayson?” Veronica stepped forward and gently

patted him on the shoulder. “Were you keeping watch here the entire day? Have you eaten?”

Although he was always hale and hearty, it was an undeniable fact that he was an aged man. She

couldn’t help feeling guilty and remorseful for making a man his age go out of his way to do so much for

her.

He eventually opened his eyes but when he saw her, his gaze turned into a glare as a frown appeared

on his face. “Little brat, it’s a good thing you still remember to come. Your master might die of hunger if

you were another second late.”

Upon hearing that, Veronica knew for sure that he hadn’t had his meal. “You haven’t eaten?” She

thought for a second before smilingly offered, “Let’s have something together, then. I haven’t eaten as

well.”

In fact, she wasn’t hungry at all. She only wanted to keep him company while he ate. “Aye.” He

yawned, putting on a reluctant expression. “Can you stay here a little longer? I am going in to check on

Yvonne.”

After she informed him, she headed straight into the ward, where Yvonne had her child in her arms as

she played with the boy. “Oh! There you are, Roni!”

Yvonne’s face immediately erupted in joy when she saw Veronica, and she hurriedly walked to

Veronica while carrying the baby. “Look! He is smacking his lips in his sleep. Isn’t it adorable?!”

Seeing her motherly love overflow, Veronica finally felt a little more relieved about her friend. She then

put down her bag and reached out to carry the boy. “Come. Let me hug him.”

“Here you go, but be careful.” Yvonne carefully passed the baby to Veronica, and the latter began to

rock him gently. “Even though he is still a newborn, his facial features look quite similar to yours,” she

commented.

“He is my son. Of course he looks like me.” Yvonne stood with her hands akimbo before she turned

around and walked toward the bed. She let out a sigh as she plopped down on it. “I am lucky I have a

maternity matron here to accompany me. I would probably be worn out otherwise. It just doesn’t make

sense for anyone to raise children. It is too tiring.”

As Yvonne complained, she dropped her whole body on the bed.

“Thank you, Roni. Mr. Crayson has been keeping watch by the door the whole day. I only told him to go

home at night.”

Yvonne had repeatedly told Crayson to go home when night fell, but he had rejected every time. Left

with no choice, she made sure to watch him go into the elevator before she went back into her ward.

Unbeknownst to her, he had come out of the elevator again after she went into the room, and had

quietly stayed outside to keep guard.

Veronica only replied, “Don’t worry about it. He happens to be on leave today.” She didn’t want Yvonne

to feel burdened.

“Still, I feel bad about it. After all, Mr. Crayson isn’t young anymore and yet, he has to take care of me.

It pricks my conscience. But again, I am getting discharged tomorrow.”

“Discharged?”

Her sudden mention of dischargement surprised Veronica.

And so, she told everything that happened today to Yvonne before adding regretfully, “That is why I

can’t pick you up to leave the hospital tomorrow. I am really sorry.”

“Oh my God, you are starring in a movie? Am I friends with a future best actress?”

As though she was the one who was going to film tomorrow, Yvonne was elated after hearing Veronica

bring it up.

Veronica didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her friend’s antics. “It is just a small and unimportant

supporting role. Stop with your nonsense. Alright, get some rest soon. I have to go back to prepare. I

am going to the filming location early tomorrow morning.”

She saw the other two bodyguards guarding the corridor when she entered the ward just now.

Needless to say, Yvonne’s father must have been the one who arranged these mercenaries to stay by

Yvonne.

But in order to not make it too conspicuous, they only stood by the corridor instead of sitting directly

outside the ward’s door.

Furthermore, they probably were bigger than a team of two who could work in shifts. It would be safe to

leave Yvonne to them.

“Okay then. I wish you success tomorrow!” Yvonne cheered Veronica on.

She got up to take her child and carefully held him in her arms. Right about then, the boy woke up and

started crying.

“Goodness, my little nugget. Why are you awake again?” Yvonne then waved at Veronica. “Hurry up

and leave. I need to coax my honeybun.”

Veronica couldn’t help but laugh before she turned around and walked out of the ward.

She walked up to one of the mercenaries in the corridor and informed him, “You must be extra vigilant

these days. Yvonne may be in danger these two days.”

Conrad is such a scary man. We have to be careful.

“Yes, Miss Murphy.” The mercenary, who was already familiar with Victoria, nodded and said nothing

more.

Afterward, she brought Crayson for ramen, and then some alcohol before she finally went home.

After returning home, she had a video conference with the person-in-charge at Vincere Games. It went

on until late night but when it was done, she began to search for action movies for reference.

Veronica only went to sleep in the dead of the night, and then woke up the next day to repeat her

training yesterday.

Exhausted, she went home to take a shower and after changing into fresh clothes, she set off to the

filming location.

When she found Larry among the crew, she asked him for his advice on things she had to pay attention

to.
