Chapter 766 She Really Shouldn't Have Cried
Veronica's words and eyes were like thorns, piercing through him and irritating him more than ever.
His eyes were cold and his breathing became heavy.
He would not allow her to be anywhere near Toby again.
The next day Veronica went to work at the TV station as usual.
She came in Nick's car this morning. Although they shared the same bed last night, they still hadn't spoken since they woke up.
The intense presence of Nick Cage clung to her, making her uncomfortable.
She knew that she had crossed the line to Nick, and she waited nervously for him to lash out his anger at her. Yet, he didn't do anything, which surprised her a little bit.
That's all.
In the studio, the director was talking to Veronica about work, when she looked up and saw that Suzanne was standing not far away, and she felt like she was distracted by her.
Suzanne came forward after the director walked away.
"Suzanne." Veronica still called her the same as before.
She could not quite put her finger on it, but she was certain that the current Suzanne and the previous Suzanne seemed to be two different people. Or was it because of the guilt that she was feeling?
"Do you still want it to work?"
Veronica's eyes flashed and said nothing.
"That's right. Since it's unfortunate that you can't be together, it's obviously pointless to keep on seeing each other! So Veronica, don't you think you've gone too far?" Suzanne asked.
Veronica thought that Suzanne said too much about not seeing Toby Cage, but it was hypocritical!
"You should have turned away at the sight of Toby instead of throwing yourself in front of him and causing the situation to get out of hand!" Suzanne spoke harshly.
Veronica looked at her in silence and did not retaliate.
"If you really do care about Toby, then you better not show up! All his injuries are because of you! You are really heartless!"
She felt powerless to argue and deny Suzanne's claims, but what she said were all true!
Toby was shot, and it was all her fault.
Even before his old wound healed, there he was, trying to take in the all the salts that she rubbed on his wound.
"What have I ever told you? Uncertainty hurts the most. But did you listen to me? What else do you want to have when you already have Nick, and now, you are trying to hoard Toby?"
Veronica's character has been put to question!
Even if she was wronged, in the eyes of Suzanne, she was a merciless person.
"What are you doing?"
A familiar voice stunned both Suzanne and Veronica, and they both looked at the door.
Toby Cage appeared in front of them. He still has a bleed pallor on his face.
Veronica Parker was dumbfounded.
Suzanne rushed to his side. "Why are you already out of the hospital? Are you crazy? I just came to visit you at the hospital yesterday. Toby, would you stop worrying me so much?"
Toby stared at Veronica and said nothing.
Suzanne looked at his line of sight. "What, are you here to see her? If I didn't know any better, I would think she was the patient."
"Are you done?" Toby asked under his breath.
"Fine! I'm not needed in here, right?" Suzanne was so angry that she just left.
When she got outside and stopped to wait by the doorway, she couldn't help but still worried about Toby.
Veronica slowly walked towards Toby. He was well-dressed and looked the same as usual, but she knew how badly he was hurt under those fancy-looking clothes.
"Why did you leave the hospital? The doctor said that if your arm doesn't recover properly, you wouldn't be able to use like you normally do."
"Why didn't you go to the hospital?"
"I don't have to go." Veronica Parker said coldly.
"You really suck."
She did not say a word.
"Just yesterday, I risked my life for you. But, must you really become indifferent? As if you didn't cry yesterday begging for me not to leave you?"
Veronica Parker tilted her face and looked away. She really shouldn't have cried.
