Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Shirly sounded a little choked up as she spoke, and Veronica could hear Monica’s cry from the other

end of the phone alongside the baby’s wails.

Veronica nodded immediately and said, “Okay, I’ll try my best.”

After she hung up the phone, she was going to call Matthew but thought against it, seeing that it was

too late and she did not want to bother him.

Then, Veronica gave it more thought before she finally found Skyler’s phone number on WhatsApp.

Veronica and Skyler had met a few times before, and the two exchanged numbers but had never

chatted.

Veronica had learned from Matthew inadvertently that Skyler had given up medicine to become a

businessman. Before that, he was a prodigy in the medical field. So, naturally, he would have a wide

range of connections.

When she thought of this, she took the initiative to reach out to him. Although it was abrupt, she had no

other way to handle this issue.

She clicked on his number and let it ring a few times before the other party answered the call.

“Oh? Roni? Oh my, is this actually you calling me?”

It was evident that Skyler did not expect the call at all.

“Skyler, one of my friend’s newborn, fell and was injured. He’s in severe condition, but no hospital is

willing to take him in. I know you used to be a doctor, so I assumed you’d have some connections. Can

you help save this child’s life?”

It was an emergency, and she did not want to beat around the bush. So, she briefly explained the

situation without batting an eye.

Then, she quickly added, “I know it is very sudden for me to suddenly call you like this, but I have no

choice. Can you help me?”

Although Monica’s husband had taken money from Xavier and joined the reporters to falsely accuse

her of assault, Monica had stood by her side, supporting and helping her from the beginning till the end.

Hence, Veronica had no justification for taking her anger out on Monica.

Moreover, after establishing Encounters Bridal Store, Shirley worked there as a part-time planner,

bringing many benefits to the company. In contrast, Veronica actually admired Monica very much.

“Tsk, it’s rare that you’re calling me. How could I refuse?”

Of course, Skyler would not reject Veronica.

After all, he already knew that she and Matthew were secretly in love; she would be his friend’s wife.

If he were to refuse her question, it would be like asking for death.

“Currently, in Bloomstead, the best pediatricians are all in Westcross Children Hospital. I’ll give the

people there a call now. Send me your friend’s phone number,” Skyler said.

At this moment, Veronica did not expect the playful and unruly Skyler, who was always fooling around,

to be so righteous.

“Okay, I’ll forward you her number right away. Thank you so much. When you come back, I’ll treat you

to dinner.”

With that, she immediately hung up the phone and forwarded Monica’s number to Skyler.

At the same time, Veronica headed downstairs and drove straight to Westcross Children’s Hospital.

Although she was not married, nor did she have children, as a woman, she could feel Monica’s

desperation at the current moment.

How could she just stand idly by?

More than ten minutes later, when Veronica arrived at Westbrook Children’s Hospital, Monica’s son had

been brought to the operating theater for surgery.

When Veronica saw Monica, she was sitting in the hall, crying.

Before Veronica could go up to comfort her, Skyler also appeared in the emergency room corridor.

“Hey, Roni?”

As soon as Veronica saw him, she immediately walked over with a smile. “Skyler, I really have you to

thank this time. I—”

Just as she was about to thank him, his phone rang, and he raised his hand. “Excuse me, let me take a

call.”

Then, he turned his back to her and took the call. Veronica could hear a woman’s soft voice from the

other end. “Hey, Sky, look who I’m with!”

“Who cares who you’re with? It’s none of my business,” Skyler retorted angrily, clearly disgusted.

Because it was a video call, the call was automatically amplified on speakers. So, Veronica, who was

on the side, could hear everything clearly even if she didn’t deliberately try to listen in.

Then, she thought to herself, Could it be that Skyler, this dirtbag, slept with another woman and now

owes it to this woman?

“Hmph, you heartless sc*mbag. You’re nothing like Matt,” the woman in the video call whined.

Matt?

Matt?!

Then, out of intuition, Veronica immediately raised her head and caught a glimpse of the video call in

Skyler’s hands. There, she happened to see a woman wearing a skimpy red dress with a yellow shawl

hugging… Matthew!

Matthew lowered his head as he held a glass of wine, sipping it. The woman hung herself around his

neck and even leaned her head on his shoulder affectionately.

The worst part was that he showed no resistance at all!

Veronica’s eyes narrowed slightly, only to feel her heart sink as a suffocating pain surged instantly.

She continued to stare at Skyler’s phone. Just then, Skyler realized that she was standing behind him

and immediately lowered the volume of the call and said, “I’m busy now. We’ll talk later.”

After that, he quickly hung up the phone.

As he put his phone away, he smiled at Veronica as he stared at her, wondering if she saw anything in

the video call.

As she had never been one to show her emotions, she still kept a calm front even after what she saw

on the phone and smiled back. “You’ve helped me a lot today. Let’s go for dinner when you’re free.”
