Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 109

Right at that moment, the two other wolves pounced at her. While she was fighting the wolves for her life, the Wolf King stood up, and with its keen sense of smell, it, too, lunged toward the woman. As Veronica was defending herself from the wolf underlings, she had no time to parry the Wolf King‘s attack. Right when she thought her life was as good as over, she heard a thundering bang that even scared the little birds in the woods away. Then, the Wolf King weakly whined before falling to the ground

Veronica turned to the source of the gunshot and saw Matthew gracefully appear beside her. Holding a gun, he fired a couple of shots at the two wolves in front of her, immediately killing them. As the wolves fell to the ground, having escaped death, Veronica collapsed to the ground and feebly looked at Matthew who was jogging to her. That man was as stunning as ever, with his perfect figure and his face of the golden ratio, though he had a look of worry on that impeccable face of his right now.

Matthew hurried to her and condescendingly glanced at her before his eyes fell upon her right arm. As she was donning a short–sleeved shirt, her arm–drenched in blood

—was plainly presented before him. The part that was bitten by the wolves was dripping with blood, which led to her unhealed wound to bleed even more. The blood flowed straight down her pale arm and dripped on the green leaves.

Drained, Veronica went to lean against a tree trunk with her right leg staggering, her injured arm weakly resting on her knees and fingers trembling as she bled profusely. Despite being in grievous hurt, she simply revealed a reassured smile at Matthew‘s arrival. Her smile carried an unusual sense of security, as if the tension in her heart instantaneously vanished and she no longer had anything to be terrified of.

Still, she maintained her tough–woman facade. “A second more and you‘ll never get to see me again.” She deeply believed that Matthew would come looking for her, and obviously, he didn‘t disappoint her!

Truth be told, back when Matthew saw the smoke arising in the woods, he swiftly charged toward it, only to be shocked by the scenario he faced–a skinny woman, surrounded by a number of wolves, could have had her life ended right then. In that instant, as if his heart had stopped beating, he was so agitated he almost suffocated.

All of a sudden, his cold, still face turned into a subtle smirk. “You won‘t die. You‘re as tough as a rock.” Although it sounded like mockery, he was actually comforting her. He then squatted down and took a look at her gravely injured arm, claiming, “The wound‘s real bad. We gotta get you a tetanus shot ASAP.” As he was saying that, he took off his white shirt and ripped it into strips of makeshift bandage before giving

her arm a simple wrap.

“How did you find me so quickly?” Given that she was hundreds of miles away, she couldn‘t figure out how Matthew found her.
