Chapter 412 Matthew Found Out the Truth

At that time, the doctor assistant noticed a part of the tattoo on Veronica’s waist and exclaimed in

shock. Tattoo?

Matthew was baffled, for he had never seen any tattoos on her before. However, who could the pale-

faced woman on the operating table be other than Veronica?

He cocked his head and took a look. With just a single glance, he happened to see the revealed part of

the ‘tattoo’ on her waist. Its color was that of blood; the revealed part was the phoenix’s head and a few

feathers. It looked so real as though it was actually a living being.

“Holy cow, I didn’t know that Roni has such a gorgeous tattoo. Tsk tsk tsk…” Skyler nudged Matthew

and joked, “What luck you have there, Matt.”

Noticing Matthew’s solemn yet anxious face, he realized something. “Don’t worry. The numbers are

normal. She won’t die.”

Although the transfusion of blood was ongoing when they entered the surgery room, Matthew knew

that she was not in a critical condition given the doctors’ reaction, thereby putting his worries to rest.

However, his heart was in his throat again. Others might not know of the tattoo because they were not

the ones closest to her, but that was not the case for him.

He did not need to sleep with Veronica every day to know for a fact that she did not have any tattoos.

Still, he could not deny its existence seeing how realistic it looked!

Matthew and her were only together two days ago. She would not be able to get a tattoo in such a

short period of time. Rather, it seemed more like a… mark.

A mark? An image conjured in his head as he came across the mark in a codex previously.

Where was it again? Where did I see it? He was certain that it was not his first time seeing it.

A codex?

He suddenly remembered the day he went to the underground chamber with Veronica in which they

entered a room and accidentally toppled over a bookshelf that was stacked up with codexes. He then

simply picked up one of the books.

What’s the name again? It’s… Matthew’s brows knitted tightly as he attempted to recall the title of the

codex. ‘Secret Affair of the Hidden Clan’! Yes, that’s it! It’s the ‘Secret Affair of the Hidden Clan’!

That mark was depicted clearly in that book. There was a jar in that same room, which made some

weird noises after Veronica touched it and was subject to an agonizing illness.

After that trip, he returned to the chamber to locate that jar again, only to realize that the space was

cleaned up by someone else with no trace left behind. It was as if nothing had happened before.

Even so, how could he possibly forget about it? That time, he asked the team to look into the

underground chamber but to no avail as of today.

Veronica inquired about it numerous times and he said that the case had been taken over by someone

else. In truth, that was not the case.

Speaking of the tattoo, the guilty doctor assistant was not fazed by it and merely spared a glance at it;

her job was to execute what she was paid to do, so how would she know anything about it?

Meanwhile, Matthew did not respond to Skyler. The duo waited for a while until the surgery had ended.

Once Veronica was sent to a VIP room, Matthew’s mind was finally put at ease, but the mark on her

kept bothering him.

Caleb and the others left in ones and twos upon knowing that she was safe. Now that only silence filled

the room, Matthew stayed by her side next to the bed by clasping onto her hand as if she was going to

leave him.

Only God knew how real that emotion felt like to him the moment he caught wind of her news; he could

feel that she was going to leave him for good.

However, confusion filled his head at the thought of the mark. Lifting the blanket and her clothes, he

took a peek at it only to see nothing on her skin. It vanished!

Did I remember it wrongly? Is it on the other side?

He rose to his feet and went to the other side of the bed to repeat his actions. Once again, there was

not a red smidgen on her waist! Nonplussed, he was put into a trance as his body went stiff.

Master Crayson? Matthew suddenly thought of that man. He knew that the old man was not an

ordinary person during their first meeting. Given the current situation, it was highly possible that

Crayson’s appearance was not of pure coincidence and Veronica’s identity was not someone ordinary

either.

As such, he trod out of the room. Thomas, who was sitting on a bench while playing with his phone,

saw him and stood up instantly. “Young Master Matthew, how is Miss Murphy?”

“I need your help.” With a stoic expression, he scanned the area to make sure there was no one else

before whispering, “Find a way to get the Larson couple’s hair or anything that they’ve used before. Do

a DNA test with this strand of hair.”

“Okay.” Thomas had a vague guess, but kept quiet about it nevertheless since subordinates were not

supposed to interfere with their boss’ matters.

“Remember to keep it to yourself.” In other words, he should not tell anyone about it.

“Got it. Leave it to me.” He left immediately.

On the other side, Crayson was being told off because the plan was a total fiasco.

“Since it’s a failure, the plan has to be put on hold. Otherwise, it might raise suspicions,” the mysterious

woman said before leaving in great haste.

Half an hour later, Troy informed that Xavier was caught. Veronica finally regained consciousness after

Matthew had looked after her for the entire day in the hospital.

She opened her eyes and scrutinized the patient room before taking a glance at him. A smile appeared

on her pale lips. “I’m so glad… to see you.”

She wanted to reach out her hand to hold his, but she could not do so due to the fracture on one hand

and broken bone on the other.

Unlike his usual days where he always looked handsome and collected, his face seemed haggard with

the dark eye-circles and beard. He did not clean himself up just so he could take care of her. It would

be a lie to say that she was not touched by it.

Now that she had woken up, Matthew caressed her cheek. “You’ve finally woken up.”

“Hades doesn’t like me, so he drove me out as soon as I stepped through hell’s gates,” Veronica joked.

“What are you talking about? You’re silly,” he responded.

“Oh, how’s Monica and Shirley?”

“They’re fine.”

“Glad to hear that.” Nothing mattered more than their safety. It seemed like Xavier was not that

merciless either.

However, Matthew did not tell her that she would have been in great danger if she had arrived at the

hospital one second later.

“What about him?” questioned Veronica. It was obvious that she was inquiring about Xavier.
