Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 226

Chapter 226 No Abnormalities

“Inside? Where are you going?”

Thomas was momentarily stunned before it suddenly dawned on him. “Is there a cave inside?”

Matthew stood up and instructed the men, “You guys can send Roni to the hospital and Thomas will
stay here with me.”

“Copy.” The men responded affirmatively and yelled out to the other men on top of the cliff.
Subsequently, a rope ladder was flung down and one of the men tied a rope around Veronica to carry
her on his back. He clung to the rope ladder and allowed the men on top to pull him out.

The others left the cave too while Matthew took the opportunity to share with Thomas about the secret
chamber below. However, it was two hundred meters away from their current location.

They submerged into the water once again and brought the container with them.

Finally, they returned to the bedroom where Veronica had been attacked by the unknown creatures.
Just as they planned to take the mysterious water from the jar, they strangely discovered that the
objects in the jar had disappeared and there was not a single droplet of water left either!

Matthew stood in front of the bedroom and stared coldly at the two bowls and jar in front of him. He was
positive that someone else had entered the place.

However, the maze was much bigger than they thought, so it would be virtually impossible to search for
a person here. As such, he placed the two bowls into the seal-proof container and left the place.

When Matthew made his way out once again, he was totally worn out as his stamina had reached its
peak. If this was under normal circumstances, he could have completed the swim within four minutes



and fifty seconds, but due to a myriad of factors—injuries, high fever and hunger—it took him five
minutes and thirty seconds to complete the swim out instead; he even choked along the way.

Thomas remained by Matthew’s side the entire time and was shocked beyond words. Never in his
wildest imagination would he have expected that there was such a huge secret chamber underneath.
At that point, he finally caught on to the reason why Matthew and Veronica had disappeared without a
trace.

“Send some men to guard this place. Let’s keep this chamber a top secret for now,” Matthew
instructed. He was adamant about keeping this place unknown until he found out exactly what was
going on inside.

Who’s the other person in the secret chamber? He had no idea about that, but he was definitely going
to figure out the truth.

…

Veronica was sent over to a private hospital in an unconscious state and the doctors quickly ran
several tests on her. Meanwhile, Matthew was escorted to get a tetanus shot and his wound dressed
too.

The thenar muscle on his right hand was badly bitten, so he had to get four stitches for each side of the
bite marks. Subsequently, he had an infusion administered to bring down his fever and prevent
infections.

With the IV drip above him, he looked over at the woman sound asleep next to him while waiting for her
medical result; it was Veronica who he shared the room with.

An hour later, Matthew held in his hand Veronica’s medical report regarding the various tests
conducted.



However, as soon as he saw the analysis report, he was enraged. “Is this the outcome of your tests?
There’s nothing wrong with her blood? Her CT scan shows that everything is normal?”

The director of the hospital stood in front of Matthew and apologized repeatedly upon noticing
Matthew’s enraged expression. “Young Master Matthew, we’ve done the most extensive body check for
her. Besides, you have to trust our capabilities. We’ve indeed examined her and run all the tests
carefully, but we can’t identify anything wrong with her at all.”

As Matthew recalled the incident from that night, he felt that it was indeed strange and full of mystery.

There was in fact something in the jar of water, but it was invisible to the eyes. Furthermore, he had
seen a bulge on the back of Veronica’s hand moving within her.

As for the jar, it was completely empty when they went back for it. This was an indication that someone
deliberately prevented him from uncovering the truth. He was confidently sure that there was
something in there that was scentless and colorless.

“Leave the room!” He waved his hand and slammed the document onto the table as he retorted.
Everyone then swiftly left the room.

Meanwhile, Matthew sat in the room for quite some time before finally grabbing his phone to call his
buddy, Skyler. “Drew, come over to the private hospital right now.”

“No sh*t, Matt! Caleb and I were just about to visit you. Are you at the private hospital? Sure, we’ll be
there right away.” After hanging up the phone, Caleb, Skyler and Miguel instantly made their way to the
hospital.

As soon as they met up with Matthew, he truthfully shared with the three of them everything that had
happened in the underground maze. Subsequently, he turned to Skyler and requested, “You’re great at
holistic therapy, so please, examine Roni to see if you can identify anything wrong with her.”



“What’s the actual situation? I’m creeped out by your words.” A grimaced Skyler was significantly
spooked by Matthew’s words.

“This is actually quite creepy. We do need to investigate this further,” Miguel responded.

Meanwhile, Caleb—a senior police inspector—asked, “In regards to that maze, are you planning to
keep it off the records?”

It was an underground maze that could be valuable archaeologically, therefore, it should logically be
reported to the authorities.

Faced with Caleb who was a stickler for being responsible, Matthew could not help but smile
resignedly. Nonetheless, Matthew was not angry. “I would definitely report this to the authorities but I
haven’t figured out what’s going on just yet, so I need it to be kept a secret for the time being.”

Caleb was aware that Matthew was a righteous man, so he was not too surprised by Matthew’s reply.

They sat together in the room and watched as Skyler moved a foldable chair and sat next to Veronica.
Then, he placed his hand on her wrist and shut his eyes to feel her beating pulse.

For many years, Skyler had actually stopped working or providing treatment for anyone in this field. If it
was not for the injured Veronica, he would not have made the exception.

He checked her pulse carefully and it lasted for two minutes. Subsequently, he glanced at Matthew and
shook his head. “Other than a weak liver, there is nothing wrong with her at all.”

“There is nothing wrong with her at all?” Matthew frowned and sat up with an anxious look on his face.

“Drew, has your skills deteriorated?”

“Did you do it properly? This doesn’t look as simple as it seems.”



Miguel and Caleb spoke up one after the other.

Seeing how they were doubtful of him, Skylar continued to feel Veronica’s pulse once again.

Two minutes went by and the outcome of the examination returned the same; everything was fine with
Veronica, there was nothing wrong with her at all.

However, the situation became more odd as the reality showed the opposite.

In the afternoon, Thomas came back with the analysis report of the two bowls. The result indicated that
everything was normal and there was nothing out of the ordinary. The result itself made everything
seem increasingly mysterious and odd.

After a period of discussion, Matthew suggested that everyone hide the truth from Veronica. The
common consensus was that they would tell her the creature in her body had been removed through
extracting her blood.

At last, Veronica finally regained consciousness in the afternoon.

She opened her eyes and looked around with a weakened pale face. She could only see white walls
surrounding her as the smell of antiseptic filled her nostrils. I must be in the hospital.

With a tilt of her head, she scanned the surroundings and saw Matthew by her side, who had an
infusion drip on his arm.

The exhausted Veronica remained in bed and glanced weakly at the ceiling. “Is there any food here?
I’m hungry.”

She had not eaten for the past two days and despite the administered glucose, she craved to taste
something and have a proper meal.



“Miss Murphy, what would you like? I’ll buy you something,” the attentive Thomas instantly walked to
her side and asked respectfully.

“I want… croissants, scrambled eggs, porridge, pork schnitzel, pork sausages…” She lay in bed while
reciting a bunch of food that she craved.

Thomas was rendered speechless as the list went on and on. Finally, he muttered, “Miss Murphy, can
you finish all that food that you asked for?”
