Chapter 701 Here Comes Veronica (64)
After leaving the hospital, Veronica was about to take a taxi. When she walked along the corridor, a lamp on the ceiling suddenly swayed in the wind. Veronica felt weird because that kind of lamp shouldn't be shaking.
Then, Veronica saw that the snails above the lamp had loosened, almost about to fall.
Another gust of wind blew, and the lamp was about to fall from above. A middle-aged lady happened to pass by under the lamp, but the lady did not notice it.
Veronica suddenly widened her eyes. Without a second thought, she rushed forward and pushed the middle-aged lady away.
They fell to the ground together, and then they heard the shattering sound of the lamp behind them.
The middle-aged lady shivered in fear in Veronica's arms.
The loud noise attracted the attention of many people nearby. The staff in the hospital rushed over to check it out.
Veronica helped the middle-aged lady up and asked with concern, "Madame, are you alright?"
The middle-aged lady nodded with a pale face. She looked a little startled. She hadn't recovered from the shock.
Veronica helped the middle-aged woman up. After recovering from the shock, the middle-aged woman quickly held Veronica's hand. "Little girl, how are you? Did you get hurt?" Veronica grinned. Her beautiful eyes were smiling too. "Madame, don't worry. I'm okay."
Seeing Veronica's smile, the middle-aged lady felt that Veronica looked familiar.
Zoey was on the phone when she heard the sound. When Zoey rushed over, she immediately saw her mother standing with Veronica. There was a shattered lamp behind them. Zoey rushed forward and pushed Veronica away. "Mom, are you okay?"
After being pushed, Veronica staggered and fell to the side. The small leather shoes on her feet were not high, but she still couldn't stand firmly.
Veronica tottered a little before finally stabilizing her body.
When Winy Comte saw her daughter Zoey, her panic eased a little.
"Zoey, I'm fine. A lamp almost fell on me. But this little girl pushed me away before it fell. So, I'm safe."
Winy pointed at Veronica, who was pushed away by Zoey.
After hearing Winy's words, Zoey turned around to look at Veronica. She immediately saw Veronica's face.
Zoey felt that Veronica looked familiar, but she did not know where she had seen Veronica.
Winy got rid of Zoey's hand. Instead, she turned to grab Veronica's hand and asked, "What's your name, little girl?"
Veronica was a little embarrassed by Winy's sudden move. She hated being so close to people, so she pushed Winy's hand and withdrew her hand from Winy's grip.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Comte. My name is Veronica Luke."
When Zoey heard Veronica's name, her expression changed instantly.
'Veronica, Veronica! Her name is Veronica!'
Zoey looked at Veronica with a weird look. "You are Veronica Luke, the daughter of the former chairman of the Luke Wood Group?"
Veronica was surprised that Zoey knew about her.
"Do you know me?" Veronica carefully sized up Zoey. She felt that Zoey's face looked a little familiar. She seemed to have seen Zoey somewhere before. However, she could not remember. "Miss, do we know each other before?"
Zoey's body was trembling.
"You... You don't remember anything?"
When Zoey said that, Veronica felt even more strange.
"What should I remember?" Veronica furrowed her brows greatly.
From Veronica's reaction and expression, Zoey could tell that Veronica wasn't lying. So when Zoey looked at Veronica again, she became relieved.
It turned out that Veronica had forgotten everything.
Zoey thought that it was good for Veronica to forget the past.
She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Hello, Veronica. I have a friend from your school, so I heard your name. I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay."
"Oh right, thank you for saving my mother."
Then, Zoey turned around and held Winy's arm. "Mom, you just fell. I don't know where you might get hurt. Now that we're at the hospital, you should run a test. By the way, I'll find the person in charge and make a complaint regarding the lamp."
"Zoey, I'm fine. I don't need the test."
"No, Mom. If you don't run a test, I'll be worried. Just listen to me!"
Winy could not talk Zoey out of it, so she followed Zoey to the hospital for a check-up.
Looking at the back of Winy and Zoey entering the hospital together, Veronica felt a little envious.
She and her mother used to be so intimate, but later, their relationship changed.
Where did it start to change?
Thinking of that, Veronica took out her phone and called Stella.
Stella heard Veronica's concern.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She immediately responded, "Are you stupid? Are you sure that your parents' blood types are both A-type? What if one of them is not? It is also possible."
Veronica was stunned.
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
At this time, Veronica suddenly wanted to call her mother.
She found her mother's number and dialed it.
No one answered the first call. When Veronica was about to hang up the second call, her mother finally picked up the phone.
Her mother's lazy and impatient voice came from the phone.
"What's up?"
Veronica heard the music from her mother's side. It was the music that her mother liked to listen to when she was having a spa in the beauty salon. She should be very unhappy now as she was interrupted by Veronica's call.
However, even if she was having a spa, a common mother would not have such an irritated tone when she received a call from her daughter.
"Mom, are you at the beauty salon?"
"Yes, if there's nothing you want to say, then goodbye!" Her mother became more impatient.
"Mom, I suddenly miss you today."
Her mother sounded alert. "You miss me? You don't want money, do you? I don't have money for you right now."
"No." Then Veronica told her mother what had happened today. "I thought I wasn't Dad's child. I was scared."
On the other side of the line, her mother's voice paused.
"You're right. You are not Brian's daughter."
Her mother's words were like a bomb stirring up Veronica's mind.
"Mom, what did you say? I know you're lying to me on purpose. I..."
"I am not lying to you. You are indeed not Brian's child. You are not my biological daughter, either."
