Chapter 458 Matthew Has Cancer?
Veronica was a foodie, and coupled with her being hungry for a long time, making her look at Matthew
enjoying the food alone was a physical torment and destruction for her.
Matthew deliberately scolded Veronica, but he still involuntarily smiled as he looked at her lowered
head while she ate. He slowed down his eating, and in the end, he stopped doing so altogether.
On the other hand, she swept through several plates of food on the table at an incredible speed. She
put down the knife and fork before she took out a tissue and wiped her mouth with a satisfied look.
Then, she leaned on the couch and let out a long sigh to the point where she indecently hiccuped. Her
burps were apparent in the office. At that, Veronica immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth
with an unnatural look on her face.
Matthew spent a considerable time with Veronica, so he was accustomed to her cold appearance and
carefree temperament in private. Truth was, he found it fascinating.
Feeling his hot gaze on her, she frowned. “Why are you looking at me? Now that the meal is over, can
you talk about Yvonne?”
“Can’t you at least clean up the table after eating it for free?”
Matthew sat on the couch with crossed legs as he pointed at the dirty plates on the table, signaling her
to put away the dishes.
Although Veronica was unwilling to do it, she still cleaned the plates and wiped the table with a paper
towel to keep it clean as she thought to herself, But, of course, it is all because I ate a free meal… Bah,
what am I talking about? The meal was delicious!
After getting everything done, Veronica looked at Matthew with a cold expression. “Can we talk now?”
“Okay.” He nodded slightly. “Conrad is—ouch! I have a slight headache.” Before he could finish his
words, he suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his head with a pained expression.
As Veronica had been with Matthew for a long time, she knew that he would never attempt to seek
attention by acting pitiful. Veronica’s heart skipped a beat when he cried out in pain, and she sat up
straight, feeling slightly nervous. “A-Are you alright?”
Veronica’s imagination suddenly took a turn for the worse. Matthew was flirting with Sasha and said he
loved Sasha out of the blue, despite him being close with Veronica.
Hence, Veronica was confused and tormented during these times. On one hand, she thought the
relationship between Matthew and Sasha was bizarre and felt his confession was fake but on the other
hand, Veronica felt Matthew might really like Sasha.
Whether it was true or false, Veronica couldn’t see through it.
Hence, when she saw Matthew cry in pain while clutching his temples, Veronica thought Matthew might
be dying of cancer, so he pretended to like someone else to break up with her—just like the plot of a
soap opera.
Although they broke up three months before, she knew her heart only had Matthew in it. The room in
Veronica’s heart was small enough to keep him and him only.
Although Veronica was deceived by Matthew, she still couldn’t forget him. So, she could only let time
pass and gradually forget about him with the flow of time. “I-It’s alright. It’s just a headache.”
Matthew rested his head on his palm, and his elbow was on the couch. His dark eyebrows were knitted
into a frown while his handsome face was filled with pain. “If not, I better call a doctor for you.”
Veronica was worried about him, so she took out her cell phone and prepared to call a doctor. Matthew
felt her concern for him. The heart that fell to the bottom gradually warmed as he saw hope. Then, he
said, “It’s my recurring illness. Get me a masseuse to rub my head and I’ll be alright.” “Masseuse?”
Veronica was stunned and she raised her head to look at Matthew, who was seated on the opposite
side. He had closed his eyes in pain.
She was so nervous that she stopped breathing for a moment before she quickly nodded. “Okay, I’ll get
you a masseuse now.”
Veronica clicked an application to get a masseuse. However, she sighed when she saw the masseuse
would only arrive after half an hour. “Forget it. I’ll give you a massage.”
Her initiative surprised Matthew.
He opened his eyes and noticed a trace of concern on her delicate face, so he felt relieved. Then, he
waved his hand and refused. “There’s no need. I can hold out until the masseuse comes over.”
“It will take at least half an hour for the masseuse to come, so I might as well give you a massage.”
Veronica did not give Matthew a chance to refuse. She then got up and walked behind Matthew.
Raising her hands to his temples, she pressed on it softly.
This move surprised Veronica after she calmed down. She stopped her movements and thought,
Veronica Murphy, have you lost your mind?! Matthew has broken up with you, yet you still care about
him?
She was dumped, yet she was worried about him. Veronica was afraid she would contradict herself, so
she blurted out, “I can’t find anyone else to tell me about Conrad’s plan if you die in the office. Besides,
if you die here, the people in the company would think I poisoned you.”
It was an explanation.
After speaking, even Veronica herself felt that it was a superfluous explanation.
Matthew felt Veronica’s mood change. He curled his lips up slightly, his handsome face lit up with a
small smile.
However, the smile was fleeting, as if he was afraid to be discovered by Veronica.
“You may leave now. I’ll just bear with it.”
Although he said so, Matthew sat upright so Veronica could continue with the massage.
“Oh, shut up. No matter what, you are Grandma’s grandson. If you die, Grandma will never forgive me.
She will hate me for the rest of her life.”
Veronica came up with a better excuse this time.
However, Matthew didn’t speak.
She stood behind him and massaged him considerately.
It was in the afternoon as the sunlight poured in through the glass window, and the beam fell on
Veronica to envelope her in a hazy halo. It made Veronica and Matthew look intimate, looking much like
an old married couple.
Matthew wanted to talk to Veronica, but he didn’t dare to.
It was because she would ask about Conrad once he spoke. Once he said the answer, he feared
Veronica would just leave.
Scared?
The selfish Matthew never thought he would describe himself as being scared one day.
After massaging him for a while, Veronica asked again, “How is it? Are you feeling better?”
He hummed softly in response. “Yes.”
“Did you head to the hospital to check your brain? It’s not a good thing to have a headache. You should
check it out.” Veronica was concerned, but she was afraid Matthew would find out her feelings and
laugh at her for caring for him even after he dumped her.
Hence, she added, “If something bad happens to you, I’m afraid Grandma will have a hard time in the
future.”
