But Daniel kept blaming others for everything and never thought he had any problems, which made her angry.
âWhat did you say? How can you say that about me? If it werenât for Masonâ¦â
âEven if Mason didnât give you the money and make you make that choice, according to your previous thoughts, didnât you hope to continue dating me and then have the Barlow family or the Reed family help you get through your difficult life? You never thought about changing your situation through your own efforts, but relied on others to help you.â Veronica said, âEveryone has their own difficulties. In this world, there are always people who are more difficult than you.â
Daniel became angry, âWhatâs wrong with my way of thinking? You havenât experienced the hardships I have, so what right do you have to criticize me?â
âEveryone has their own difficulties,â Veronica said calmly, âIâve seen what you wanted to show me today. I donât think we need to continue talking. Iâm going back.â
Veronica finished speaking and turned to leave.
âDonât go, I havenât finished yet!â Daniel tried to grab Veronica.
But as he reached out, he was suddenly kicked by a force and he cried out in pain, falling to the ground in a sorry state.
Veronica turned abruptly at the sound, only to find that Mason had come over without her noticing. He had his foot on Danielâs back, and his handsome face was icy and intimidating.
âDaniel, I underestimated you. Did you want to die by bringing Veronica to a place like this?â His voice was cold, but filled with anger.
Daniel coughed and struggled to stand up, but Mason pressed down harder on his back with his foot.
âMason!â Veronica shouted, âDonât do this! If you hurt Daniel, youâll be responsible too!â
âWhy shouldnât I do this?â Mason glared at Veronica. âHe brought you here without permission. Whatâs wrong with me teaching him a lesson?â
âEven if you want to teach him a lesson, you donât have to do it like this. Besides, weâre in a hospital.â
Although there werenât many people around, someone might come by and see them.
âSo what? He should have thought about the consequences before doing what he did today!â Mason grabbed Danielâs hair and slammed his face into the wall.
Veronica was stunned. This violent side of Mason made her feel unfamiliar.
In just a moment, Danielâs face was covered in bruises and cuts, and blood was flowing from his forehead.
âMason, let him go! You have to stop the bleeding now!â Veronica finally found her voice.
âAre you worried about him?â Mason asked.
âIâm worried about you! Let him go and we need to stop the bleeding immediately!â Veronica urged.
âIf I tell you that you donât need to worry about me, even if I beat him to a pulp, would you just stand there and watch?â Mason said.
Veronica was stunned. âWhat do you mean?â
âHaha⦠Veronica, now you see. This is the mindset of the wealthy. Do you really think heâs so innocent? People like him only know how to use money to solve everything. You and him are completely different types of people. Youâll never be togetherâ¦â Daniel struggled to speak.
But after saying this, what awaited him was even more intense attacks from Mason.
