CHAPTER 1242 REVEALING HIS IDENTITY

"She's in the bedroom," Xavier mentioned.

Skyler pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. When he saw Veronica lying on the bed, covered with a thin blanket and looking fine, his anxious heart finally settled.

"Roni, are you okay?" he asked.

"Skyler, Titus is in danger. Go find him!" They both spoke at the same time.

"Look at yourself, still worrying about him?" Skyler walked to the side of the bed and sat down, lifting a corner of the blanket to place Veronica's wrist flat on the bed. He checked her pulse.

After a while, realizing that there was nothing wrong with her body and seeing the bowl on the table with remnants of medicine, he sighed and said, "You're fine. You'll be better soon. D*mn it, Zac! I won't let him go if I ever meet him!"

"Don't worry about me. Go find Iron Pillar," Veronica pleaded as her body gradually recovered. She reached out and tugged at Skyler's sleeve.

Meanwhile, Xavier stood at the bedroom door, hands in his pockets. He leaned against the door frame, watching them silently.

But at that moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the living room…

"Roni?!"

When Skyler came in, Xavier didn't close the suite door. He just closed it halfway.

Matthew, who arrived late, pushed the door open and walked in as he called out to Veronica. "She's in the bedroom," Xovier mentioned.

Meonwhile, Xovier stood ot the bedroom door, honds in his pockets. He leoned ogoinst the door frome, wotching them silently.

But ot thot moment, o fomilior voice suddenly sounded from the living room…

"Roni?!"

When Skyler come in, Xovier didn't close the suite door. He just closed it holfwoy.

Motthew, who orrived lote, pushed the door open ond wolked in os he colled out to Veronico.

Worried about Veronica, he dropped all pretenses. Even his voice and address were per his previous habits.

Matthew glanced at Xavier, bypassed him directly, and grabbed Skyler's clothes before pushing him aside. Matthew then sat on the chair by the bed. He held Veronica's hand tightly as he asked with concern, "How are you? Are you okay? I'm sorry that I'm late."

Matthew's mind was filled with Veronica. He was too preoccupied to care about anyone else, only wanting to know if she was alright. He completely ignored the others beside him, especially Xavier.

When Xavier heard the name "Roni," his nerves suddenly tensed, and he straightened his body.

He turned to look at the living room, and the person who walked in was "Iron Pillar." He thought he was hearing things. But when "Iron Pillar" quickly walked past him and pulled Skyler away, sitting beside Veronica and holding her hand, Xavier's gaze instantly turned cold.

Is he… Matthew Kings?!"

Xavier's fists clenched, a surge of hostility suddenly rising within him.

His gaze, which was directed at Matthew, was filled with anger and hatred. He clenched his fists so hard his veins were bulging.

Then, his gaze shifted and fell on Veronica, only to see her looking back at him.

Their eyes met, and Veronica's watery eyes were filled with guilt and self-blame. "Xavier, I'm sorry."

She really was sorry.

She had deceived him.

Since the moment Matthew faked his death, Xavier believed it to be true, letting go of his hatred towards Matthew and feeling deeply for Veronica. He even married Antheena to protect Veronica.

Yet, Xavier never expected that Veronica and Matthew would act together, holding a grand funeral and deceiving everyone, including him!

At this moment, disappointment and irony flooded his heart, and he laughed at himself, feeling like a fool being played around by them. owns © this.

Xavier's eyes went from a vibrant spring to a desolate winter instantly, becoming dull and lifeless.

Feelings of sadness, ridicule, and self-mockery gave him a sense of decadence, and it deeply hurt Veronica.

Feeling much better physically, Veronica sat up, lifting the blanket. "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I'm really sorry."

Caught between Matthew and Xavier, Veronica was in pain.

On one side was her beloved, while on the other was the person who had risked his life multiple times to save her.
