A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Seeing Veronica's stubborn look, Marie felt even more apologetic.

"Veronica, you were punished by Mr. Cordova because of me. You should eat something. Just one. Mr. Cordova won't know!"

Veronica looked at Marie with a smile. "Marie, I appreciate your kindness, but I am a person of principles. Besides..."

When Veronica looked at Marie, there was a sense of guilt in her eyes. "You were reprimanded by Mr. Cordova because of me. I should be punished. Besides, skipping one meal won't do me much harm. I'll just take it as I am on a diet!"

"You are already so thin, why would you need to lose weight?"

"It's the fashion."

"Veronica..."

Veronica stood up and gently pushed Marie, "Marie, go back and rest. I'd better work hard. There's not much left. I'll go back to rest after I'm done!"

Seeing Veronica so insistent, Marie could only sigh.

"Then you must not force yourself too much. When you are tired, take a break!" Marie reminded Veronica.

"I got it. Thank you, Marie. Go back now!"

Marie reluctantly turned and left.

After Marie left, Veronica looked at the floor and walls that had yet to be wiped and walked to the bathroom to get some water. Then, she braced herself and continued to wipe the floor. However, her head seemed to be a little dizzy.

Raymond, who was sitting in the study, clearly saw the performance of Veronica and Marie in the corridor from the surveillance video.

He was not that heartless.

If Veronica had been acting lazy at the beginning or being idle, he could have persuaded himself to punish her. However, when he saw her stubbornly wiping the villa bit by bit with a rag with no complaints and Marie had come to plead for Veronica, Raymond also thought that his punishment was a bit too much.

Just now, when Marie passed by from outside the door, he deliberately picked up the phone and made a phone call. He left the computer screen, which was a favor he gave Veronica.

Marie also knew that there were surveillance cameras. She would also guess that he was monitoring Veronica through the computer.

Sure enough, when Marie saw that the call had distracted him from the computer screen, she quickly took the steamed bun that she had hidden on her to Veronica.

He thought that Veronica would take them.

After all, she had not eaten dinner and had done so much work. She must be hungry. Last night, in the hospital, she was so thick-skinned that she asked him to treat her. Now, she would definitely gladly accep the food. Yet Veronica rejected Marie's good intentions.

Seeing that Marie had left, Veronica washed her face and started working again. Raymond stared at her on the screen.

He had never seen such a dumb person.

Marie brought her food, yet she refused.

Veronica, who continued to clean up, suddenly felt a little dizzy. When she stood up, her whole body swayed unsteadily in the corridor. She could barely stand still with the support of the wall. Raymond frowned when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

He was working, and at the same time glancing at the woman in the corridor who was leaning against the wall to ease her dizziness.

Was she being dizzy because of hunger?

However, she was just a woman who tried to blackmail him. What would he care if she was hungry?

Right at this moment, Veronica, who was originally standing by the wall against the wall, stood up and her body shook once more.

However, this time, Veronica was not so lucky. She fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Raymond spat out a curse and quickly ran out of the study to where Veronica was.

Veronica had fainted.

Raymond gently pulled up the unconscious Veronica, letting her upper body lean against his chest. He patted her face and called, "Veronica, Veronica, wake up!"

After two slaps, Raymond suddenly realized that Veronica's face was boiling hot.

Raymond subconsciously touched Veronica's forehead.

Raymond's expression suddenly changed.

Veronica was having a fever.

Knowing that Marie hadn't gone far, Raymond immediately shouted, "Marie, Marie!"

When Marie heard the voice, she rushed downstairs.

When Marie came upstairs, she saw Veronica in Raymond's arms.

Seeing this scene, Marie thought that Raymond had done something to Veronica. She immediately questioned Raymond a little angrily, "Mr. Cordova, what did you do to Veronica? Veronica has never eaten anything at night, how can you lay your hands on her?"

Raymond, "..."

Did he look like such a beast? However, now was not the time for him to argue with Marie about these.

"Marie, stop for now. She has a fever. Call Dr. Hanks immediately."Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Marie immediately understood.

"Dr. Hanks, OK, I'll call him now!"

Raymond found that Marie seemed to be more anxious than when he was sick.

He had heard from Louis that Veronica was currently living in the room of the previous maid. After Marie left, Raymond carried Veronica and walked toward her room.

About half an hour later, the doctor rushed over in a hurry.

Sebastian Hanks received a call from Marie in the middle of the night. Hearing Marie's impatient tone, he thought that the person who was sick was Raymond, so he rushed over in a hurry. However, the person who was sick was not Raymond, but a maid.

Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief and went to check Veronica.

While he was treating Veronica, Marie looked at him worriedly. "Dr. Hanks, is Veronica alright?"

Sebastian replied, "She's fine. It's just a cold. She must have caught a cold yesterday. She hasn't taken any medicine until now. In addition to tonight, she has a high fever now. Besides, she is a little dehydrated. That's why she fainted. I'll give her a drip later. She will be fine soon!"

Marie heaved a sigh of relief and looked gratefully at Sebastian. "Thank you, Dr. Hanks. Sorry to trouble you tonight."

"By the way, before I give her the infusion, it's best to change her wet clothes first. Wet clothes are not gonna help." "Alright, alright, alright."

Sebastian turned around and went out.

Marie had just unbuttoned Veronica's shirt when she suddenly realized that Raymond was still standing behind her. Marie quickly covered Veronica's shirt collar.

"Mr. Cordova, I need to change Veronica's clothes. Why are you still standing here?"
