Chapter 642 Here Comes Veronica (5)
Raymond looked at Veronica's miserable face. Clearly, she was about to lose her dignity, yet she was still so stubborn.
She was probably easy to suffer losses.
Raymond did not completely agree with what Veronica said.
In the world, money was indeed not omnipotent, but... without money, people could do nothing.
However, Raymond felt distressed for such a stubborn girl.
He cursed in his heart, 'Damn it! How can I feel sorry for her? She just blackmailed me!'
"It's fine if you want to go get the books, but if you run away, I can't find you and get compensation. what should I do?" Raymond said solemnly.
Veronica was speechless.
Raymond's concerns were reasonable.
It was a normal thought for ordinary people. Just now, such a thought even appeared in Veronica's mind.
If she disappeared, she wouldn't need to pay Raymond anymore.
Veronica coughed slightly to hide the unnatural expression on her face. "I won't run away."
"I don't know if you will do it or not, but you have to pledge something as a guarantee!"
Veronica frowned. "What? Pledge something?"
Raymond pointed at the only valuable thing in Veronica's hand. "Leave your phone here. After you get the books, you can come back and take your phone."
Veronica was reluctant.
She thought, 'Leave my phone here?
But it was because of him that a crystal on my phone had broken. How can I bear to leave it here? If so, it may suffer more.'
Seeing Veronica hesitating, Raymond shrugged. "It's fine if you don't leave your phone behind. I'll call the police instead!"
As he spoke, Raymond took out his phone and prepared to call the police.
Veronica was anxious.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
She quickly took two steps forward and covered the screen of Raymond's phone with her hand.
"Don't call the police!" Veronica quickly took out her phone from her pocket and placed it on the nightstand. "I'll put my phone here."
"My driver is downstairs. You can ask him to take you to find your book," Raymond added.
Veronica's eyes lit up. "Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Cordova."
Since she had no money, she had originally thought that she might have to walk back to her uncle's house. It probably took at least two hours to go back and forth.
Hearing Raymond's words, Veronica suddenly felt that his image had grown stronger.
However, when she was thinking, Raymond spoke again, "But you have to pay for the gas. It will be counted in the compensation fee!"
Veronica almost went crazy.
Raymond had gone too far! She didn't want to take his car anymore. However, it would be too far for her to walk there. Moreover, it was raining now. If she got there too late, her books might have been taken away by someone.
Thinking of this, she could only agree to Raymond's conditions and take his car to get her books.
Fortunately, when Veronica arrived in front of her uncle's house, her books were still scattered there. However, there were a few obvious footprints on them. They were probably stepped on by the tenants who passed by.
Although the books were stained with some mud, they were still there. And Veronica was finally relieved.
After she picked up her book, she was taken back to the hospital by Raymond's driver.
When Veronica returned to the ward, Raymond had changed into a new hospital gown. The dirt on his face had also been washed away, and his original appearance could be seen.
Raymond, who had changed into clean clothes, was radiant. He had wheat-colored skin, deep eyes, a tall nose, and sexy thin lips. His handsome face made him look like a handsome man in a painting. Veronica hadn't looked carefully at Raymond before.
When she tried to blackmail Raymond, she was nervous and did not dare to look at Raymond's face. Later, when she sent him to the hospital, she forgot to bring an umbrella, and both her and Raymond's bodies were drenched by the rain. Their hair was messily stuck to their faces, and their original appearances could not be seen.
Only now did Veronica realize that Raymond was so handsome. And she ... even dared not to meet his eyes.
Seeing Raymond, Veronica felt that she had gone to the wrong ward.
She took two steps back and glanced at the room number above the door, making sure that she had not gone to the wrong ward. Raymond noticed Veronica's expression when she entered and saw him, and he put on a happy and proud smile.
Veronica carried her books into the ward.
Then she carefully put them on the table next to the window and opened them so that the water on them could dry as soon as possible.
However, even if those books were to dry up, it would be impossible for them to recover to their original state.
Veronica couldn't help thinking, 'If Ms. Hopper knows that I have made the books with her signature into such a messy state, she must be angry!'
Her heart ached, and she used a tissue to wipe away the stains on the books. When she scratched a corner of a book, she felt as if her heart had been cut off.
Raymond saw Veronica fiddling with her books with a pained expression. He felt that it was a little inconceivable.
How could a person who intended to blackmail others like books so much?
When Veronica finally finished cleaning the books, she was relieved.
Raymond was sitting on the bed. He couldn't help but frown when he saw Veronica's dirty clothes and body.
"You are really dirty. Go to the bathroom and wash away the dirt on your face."
Veronica didn't say a word.
Dirt?
His words were indeed unpleasant to hear.
Veronica touched her face and then sensed the dirt on her face. Only then did she remember that she had fallen into the muddy water in front of the bus stop. After so long, she had never looked at herself in the mirror, so she didn't know how dirty her face was until she touched it.
The clothes on her body had dried, and the mud on her face was the same. It had been stuck on her face.
Veronica immediately turned around and walked into the bathroom. She saw the mirror above the sink.
When she saw her own face in the mirror, she was in a bad mood.
She thought to herself, 'Heavens! What the hell is in the mirror?'
She had never been that dirty in her life.
Veronica quickly turned on the tap and washed her face, and the water in the sink also turned dirty.
When the water became clean, her face was also clean. She looked at herself in the mirror. After washing away the mud, she could see her original appearance.
After cleaning up her body, Veronica walked out of the bathroom.
