Chapter 729 An Encounter Again With The Boss

Veronica Parker fell asleep in the dead of the night when the ward door was quietly pushed open.

The long black figure appeared, closed the door gently, and stood by the hospital bed.

The lights in the ward were warm and mild, and the light was shining on Veronica Parker's quiet face.

She used to look pale but now, she looks much better. Nick Cage sat down on the edge of the bed. He leaned over her then approached Veronica Parker's face. He caressed her face before giving her a gentle kiss, as gentle as the lightest feather. Veronica Parker woke up the next day and found her food and drinks prepared already.

She knew that although Nick Cage was not there, everything was prepared because of his orders. But she didn't like any of it. She felt like a prisoner and all eyes were on her. And whatever she does, it'll then be reported back to him.

However, she liked the idea now that he wasn't around yet. She felt some freedom just by staying in her room. Its four walls were her companion all that time.

Veronica Parker was still not used to having everything within reach. Although Nick Cage already provided everything, she felt as if everything were in favor of him. Just because he's wealthier, he expects things to be under his control, including Veronica Parker.

Tracy Dora came to visit her and to inform her that she can go home within the day. She has gained enough strength and recuperated from the incident. "I'll take you out of the hospital." Tracy Dora said.

Veronica Parker glanced at Tracy Dora's regular clothes. She was not wearing her white coat. So she asked, "You don't have work today?"

"As a matter of fact, yes!" She happily responded.

Veronica Parker didn't say anything.

She understood that it's better to cooperate with Tracy Dora. Otherwise, Nick Cage might appear again and she still doesn't want to see him.

When they went outside of the hospital, the white Rolls-Royce was already waiting for them. She went to the car and asked Leo to bring her to her apartment. Leo was surprised, "To your apartment Madame?"

Tracy Dora who was sitting in front of her said, "Veronica Parker, you can't be all by yourself when you go back to your apartment. Nobody will take care of you." If you

Leo interjected, "Mr. Cage specifically instructed me to take you back to Winter Villa."

Veronica Parker looked at him and saw a frightened look on his face. She didn't want to embarrass him so she quietly took out her cell phone and called Nick Cage.

"I'm going back to my apartment." Veronica Parker uttered with conviction.

"No!" Nick Cage quickly responded.

"Do you have to force me like this?" Veronica Parker asked.

"You can't stay there all by yourself. You're still recuperating!" Nick Cage explained.

"So you think you know better?" Veronica Parker asked.

Tracy Dora and Leo looked at Veronica Parker with admiration.

"Just do as I say and let's wait until you have fully recovered. After that, do as you please and you can live wherever you want in the future!"

"I'm not going to wait for that! I'm going back to my apartment now!" Veronica Parker insisted.

"Your body needs to rest and recuperate for a month. If you still insist, you won't be able to see the children for a month." Nick Cage threatened her. "Nick Cage, don't threaten me like that. Those children have nothing to do with this matter!" Veronica Parker trembled with anger and her eyes were red!

"Then we have nothing to discuss! My decision's final!" Nick Cage responded. His terms were non-negotiable, nor was he willing to give way even for a few days.

Veronica Parker's heart was pounding. Her chest tightened and she couldn't breathe. Because of so much anger, she raised her hand, threw her phone, and smashed it. The broken pieces were scattered on the floor. After that, she pushed the car's door wide open and turned to get out. But she didn't expect that somebody was outside and jumped directly in. That person blocked her way so she was not able to get out of the car anymore.

She raised her head and was astonished to see Nick Cage again. He held her so tight and she couldn't move. She didn't expect him to appear just like that. She figured that maybe, he was just there observing everything. When things turned not the way he expected it to be, he was immediately on it.

When she came back to her senses, Veronica Parker struggled to get out of his arms. But Nick Cage was stronger than her and held her in his arms. He placed his arms around her waist so she couldn't escape.

"Let me go!" Veronica Parker pushed him angrily as if it was torture to be touched by him.

Nick Cage let go of her and Veronica Parker immediately sat close to the car door in a defensive posture.
