Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 264

After Matilda entered the room, she waited for a long time before seeing the door of the room opened.

River led a dark-skinned man in.

That man looked very different from the usual people she saw.

Matilda's attention was immediately drawn to him.

At the same time, there was also a voice in her heart telling Matilda who this person might be.

Her gaze fell on that man's face for a split second. If it weren't for the lack of admiration in her eyes, people would think that she had some unreasonable thoughts.

At least, from River's point of view, that was how dumbfounding it was.

River coughed lightly, as if to tell Matilda to calm down a bit, restrain herself, and stop staring at him so fiercely.

However, Matilda was completely caught up in her own guessing now, and didn't pay attention to River's meaning at all.

River was speechless and could only speak out, "Miss Duncan, this is Rupert Benton."

Matilda looked at River, waiting for him to introduce Rupert's identity.

However, River stopped at this point, and had no intention of continuing.

Matilda's brows became even tighter, and she had already scolded River in her heart how could this person be so tantalizing?

Sensing Matilda's deep displeasure, River sighed silently.

She was such a beautiful woman. Why was she so impatient?

He said, "Miss Duncan, Rupert is the person who contacts the people in Veggia. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

Finally, River talked about the topic Matilda cared about.

She looked at Rupert, thinking about how to speak.

Before Matilda could speak, Rupert went to speak first and said, "I don't know too many things for the time being. I can only tell you that your friend will not be in danger."

Matilda was stunned for a moment. Sensing Rupert's determination, she finally relaxed a lot.

She asked, "Mr. Benton, can you contact them now?"

She still wanted to speak to Aimee, so that, at least, she could really be sure of Aimee's safety.

However, after hearing her words, Rupert said directly, "Sorry, Miss Duncan. I can't do this."

Matilda felt a little dazed for a moment. What did this mean?

Why did she feel that she couldn't understand?

Rupert saw her doubts and explained, "Veggia does not have communication devices such as mobile phones. They rely on special contact methods to communicate, so there is a long time lag in the transmission of news."

This was no surprise to Matilda.

If the people in Veggia can be contacted by modern technology, it wouldn't happen that there was no signal from Aimee until now.

However, if this was the case, how did Rupert know that Aimee was safe?

Matilda asked the question in her heart, and Rupert smiled and said, "Miss Read is an old acquaintance of the village head. He has been paying attention to her, so naturally he will not do anything dangerous to her."

Rupert's words not only surprised Matilda, but even River couldn't help raising his brows lightly when he heard the words. His eyes were full of doubts that could not be concealed.

Rupert said, "Miss Read's teacher has a deep relation with Veggia. The village head has always paid attention to her teacher. By the way, they have paid attention to Miss Read."

Matilda asked suspiciously, "So, Mr. Benton, you mean, Aimee's teacher is actually from Veggia?"

"No," Rupert said, "more accurately, he's Veggia's enemy."

Matilda's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she, who had calmed down a little, became tense again at this moment.

Aimee's teacher was Veggia's enemy. She was the enemy's apprentice. But she went there directly, can she still be treated well?

How was this possible?

Rupert knew what Matilda was thinking and said, "I can assure you that she will not be in any danger."

Matilda obviously didn't believe it, and now she was even more worried.

Seeing this, Rupert had no choice but to explain to Matilda where Aimee was.

Since Aimee became Joel's apprentice, the focus of Lorenzo had unconsciously become Aimee.

Even the change in Aimee's physique was deeply related to Veggia.

It can be said that Lorenzo cared more about Aimee than even his own daughter.

In this case, Rupert can say with certainty that Aimee will never encounter any danger when she arrived at Veggia.

Matilda was even more puzzled by Rupert's explanation.

According to his meaning, the village head simply regarded Aimee as a very important person.

But why?

There was simply no reasonable explanation for this.

However, Rupert had no way to explain Matilda's doubts.

Because he couldn't figure out Lorenzo's thoughts at all, and he was not qualified to ask.

He also had the same question as Matilda. Why Lorenzo would care so much about Aimee, instead leaving his own daughter to suffer outside?

Matilda finally realized that there was only so much information she could get from Rupert.

The rest can only be left to time. And she had to patiently wait for Aimee's safe return.

She had no other choice now, but can only believe Rupert's words, and believe that Aimee will not be in danger.

In this way, Matilda finally felt relieved.

Rupert didn't stay long, and after talking to Matilda, he left.

Matilda realized a very serious problem. How did River know that she was worried about Aimee?

Moreover, what was the relationship between River and Rupert?

Why Rupert's attitude towards him would be so wonderful?

After sending Rupert away, River returned to the room.

As soon as he entered, he met Matilda's probing eyes.

No need to ask, he knew what Matilda was wondering about.

He smiled and said, "Do you doubt me? Think I'm spying on your friend?"

Matilda didn't make a sound, but wanted to admit that River was right.

Indeed, she thought so.

River found it both funny and annoying and said, "Perhaps, you can explain to me, what good does it do me?"

Matilda said, "You may have no reason to treat Aimee like this, but Aimee is Patrick's wife after all. In terms of your relationship with the Hayden family, it is reasonable to do so."

"So, you're thinking that I'm paying too much attention to Patrick?" River chuckled with a playful tone, as if mocking Matilda's naivety.

Matilda said, "Or, you are concerned about Miles."

When River heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

He looked at Matilda and became a little more speechless.

He said, "The person sitting here now should be him, not you."

Matilda choked, and couldn't find a rebuttal for a long time.

Yes, if that was the case, it won't be her turn.

Thinking of this, Matilda looked at River more probingly.

She asked, "So, you're telling me that you did me a favor?"

River chuckled, and said, "If you think so, there seems to be no problem."

Matilda's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't continue to speak.

Inexplicably, there was a feeling that she had fallen into a trap.

It was not a good thing to owe River a favor.

It must not be an easy thing to return to him in the future.

But, though Matilda was aware of it now, there was nothing else she could do. It had happened, and she had fallen into River's trap.

Matilda grinned, barely giving River a thumbs up.

There was no such thing as a pie in the sky.

River's plan was indeed beautiful.

Matilda said, "Mr. Knight, if there is anything you need in the future, please don't make things difficult for me."

River laughed lowly, and became more interested in her.

He lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth and took a puff. And immediately, there was a smoke ring, making him blurred and sexy.

At any other time, Matilda would have thought this man was really attractive.

However, at this moment, she only felt he was dangerous.

After being silent for a long while, River said to Matilda, "Don't worry, Miss Duncan. I won't force anyone to do anything."
