Chapter 758 Here Comes Veronica (121)
Stella held Veronica's hand and comforted her in a soft voice. "Veronica, Mr. Cordova will be fine. Have you ever heard that if there is no news, it is good news? There has been no news for the past two days. Maybe he has already recovered."
Veronica smiled bitterly.
These two days, she had thought about all the results, but she was not willing to accept any bad results.
"Stella, I'm fine. Don't worry." She took a deep breath and looked at the two people with a smile. "I've pictured the worst condition, and nothing will be worse than that. I believe that he will be fine."
Stella looked at her sympathetically.
"Veronica, are you really alright?"
"I'm fine now. I've thought it through." Veronica pursed her lips, smiling. "As you said, no news is good news. He might be fine. What I need to do now is to wait for him to return safely. When he comes back, I want him to see me in my best condition."
Stella felt even sadder for Veronica when she saw Veronica doing self-comfort.
However, this was the only way for Veronica to pull herself together and not get depressed or even abuse herself. This was Veronica.
No matter what happened, she could make herself strong.
Stella could tell that Veronica really liked Raymond.
If something really happened to Raymond, Stella would not know whether Veronica could still hold on.
Stella hoped that Raymond was fine.
Veronica had already picked up her forks and got some food on her plate. "I will take care of myself. These are all my favorite foods. Come on, let's eat it. Or these dishes will be cold." Stella and Zain knew what Veronica thought. They chatted with Veronica.
After the meal, Stella was worried about Veronica, and she wanted to send Veronica home. Veronica smiled and refused. But Stella insisted on sending Veronica to the door of the villa. After separating from Stella, Veronica went back to the villa and opened the door. As expected, it was dark inside.
Her heart sank immediately.
Taking a deep breath, she turned on the lights and closed the door. She smiled at the empty house and shouted, "I'm back."
In the past, when she returned, Raymond would sit on the sofa in the living room and watch the news.
But now, there was nobody on the sofa.
When she turned around in disappointment, her phone suddenly rang. The moment her phone rang, she stood up in shock.
Veronica picked up her phone.
The minute she took out her phone, she closed her eyes. She did not dare to look at the number on her phone. She was hoping that this call was from Raymond.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her phone.
With just a glance, she laughed at herself in disappointment.
It was not Raymond. It was a call from Stella.
She picked up the phone and Stella's worried voice came through the phone. "Veronica, are you home?"
Stella was worried that Veronica might not return home.
Veronica felt warm. She smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I'm already at home. Didn't you watch me enter?"
Stella said to her worriedly, "Remember to lock all the doors and windows. If someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night, you cannot open the door. Understand?" Recently, Veronica had encountered many incidents, and it was inevitable that Stella would worry about her safety.
"Got it." Veronica smiled and said, "Stella, you've nagged too much recently."
Stella snorted. "You think I'm a nag? Well, sure I am. Any problems with it?"
"Alright. I'm fine. You don't have to worry."
"Okay," Stella warned again before hanging up the phone. "Remember, no matter what happens, you must call me immediately. Got it?"
"Got it."
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Veronica's face slowly disappeared.
However, she was firm in her belief.
She believed Raymond would return.
She washed up as usual and went to bed.
She lay down, but she couldn't fall asleep. After tossing and turning, she still felt not sleepy. A bold idea came to her mind.
She blushed and threw back the covers to get off the bed. She walked to the room next door.
The room next to her was Raymond's.
Standing outside Raymond's room, Veronica's heart beat faster.
Then, she slowly unlocked the door of Raymond's room. She walked in. When the door was opened, her heart beat even faster.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She felt that her behavior made her like a thief.
But she thought, 'Raymond is my boyfriend now. It's natural for me to sleep in my boyfriend's bed. I am not a thief.'
Thinking of that, Veronica felt a bit more relaxed, so she swaggered in. Then, she lifted the quilt on the bed and lay down.
As soon as she lay down, Veronica smelled a unique scent from Raymond. The scent was so dense that it made Veronica feel that Raymond was still by her side, who was hugging her with his powerful arms.
On the side where Raymond was
used to lying down, his smell still lingered on the pillow and quilt. She lay on that side, smelling his scent and sleeping. In a short while, she fell asleep. In her dream, she felt that Raymond was hugging her, and she smiled happily.
The news conference that Veronica translated was reported by the media. However, all the imagesê didn't include Veronica. Even if there was some part of her on the edge, it was vague. It was impossible to tell that it was Veronica.
Therefore, although Veronica participated in that conference, it did not have any effect.
In the past few days, lan had called Veronica a few times, but she did not answer.
Veronica was disappointed with Lan. She did not expect that he would use her.
Veronica didn't know whether Lan had a successful arms trade with some gang or not. There was a lot of news on the Internet saying Lan officially represented Wooddale to visit Peace City.
The next night, Veronica finished her
exams and went home. When she passed the entrance of a hotel, the, vehicle suddenly broke down and stopped. When she was waiting for the caDagain, she couldn't help but look back at the hotel behind her. She saw a person sneaking around in the hotel. She didn't know what he was going to do.
Seeing this, Veronica subconsciously wanted to follow them and have a check.
She subconsciously rushed into the hotel, but the hotel doorman stopped her.
"Lady, the entire hotel is booked today. No one is allowed in!" The doorman shouted. "But how did they get in?" Veronica pointed at the bodyguards.
"They are bodyguards, so they can enter."
