Chapter 43
Chapter 43
“It’s a blessing for Victoria to have a friend like you,” Be said with a smile as she turned her
wheelchair to face Christian. “Christian, I know you’re brooding over how she hurt my legs, but I don’t
me her for it. Can we just let her follow us to the hospital?”
Christian stood against the light, so his expression couldn’t be seen clearly.
“Christian, please say yes. She won’t try to hurt me with you by my side.” Her words were a little more
coquettish this time, acting like a damsel in need.
This made Victoria sneer in her heart. Be had always taken it as her duty to separate Victoria and
Christian. Even if he agreed to let Victoria go, he would disagree after listening to what Be said.
Victoria was ready to be rejected when he said, “Push Be out.”
The pride dissipated in Be’s eyes. She was stunned for a moment before she really had to force a
smile. “Be careful. Don’t be so careless like how you almost made me fall thest time, causing my
brother to misunderstand.”
Her voice was amplified. It wasn’t meant for Victoria to hear but for Christian and Lucas.
However, Christian only faced his slender back at her, which was not what she wanted.
“If you’re smart, you should know not to try anything with Be,” Lucas walked over to Victoria and
leaned in to warn her.
Gabrielle, who initially wanted to speak up for Victoria, nced at Lucas. He had an expressionless
face while Be looked incredibly pitiful.
As for Victoria, her lips twitched when she heard his warning. “I really wish I could.”
Since they used her of attempted murder, why not she actually try to kill Be? They used her of
having ill intentions, so she wanted to toss Be around a few times. That way, when Victoria was
scolded again, she wouldn’t feel so aggrieved.
“What are you trying to do?” Lucas lowered his voice and squeezed each word out his throat.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Spritz.” Victoria took a few steps back and created some distance between herself
and him. “With Mr. Thatcher and you around, do you think I’d dare to try and hurt Miss Spritz?”
“I’m d you know that.” Lucas was upset to see that she had distanced herself, but he quickly
frowned and suppressed the strange feeling in his chest.
He couldn’t love a woman who had deliberately tried to murder his sister.
A hint of mockery shed across Victoria’s eyes. “If you’re really worried, you should follow your sister
around 24/7 so that I won’t get the chance to hurt her.”
Lucas red at her coldly before walking over to Be, leaning in and whispering into her ears before
he strode away.
“Victoria, I—” Gabrielle stole a nce at Be and said with a flushed face.
However, Victoria directly interrupted her and said, “If you have something to do, you can leave. I’ll
apany Miss Spritz to rehab.”
Gabrielle didn’t want to offend Be and the others for Victoria. It was understandable. After all, even
Victoria’s parents cut ties with her because of what had happened.
“Sorry!” Gabrie smiled embarrassedly and stretched out her hand. “It’s not convenient for you to hold
all these while you push the wheelchair. Let me help you bring them back.”
“Thank you.” Victoria passed her all the shopping bags.
On the side, Be sighed softly and said emotionally, “You have such a good friend. Victoria, thisdy
treats you well. Don’t let what happened to us happen to her.”
Gabrielle took the shopping bags from Victoria and looked at Be, perplexed.
“It’s nothing. It’s just that Victoria and I used to be good friends, but then… Let’s not talk about these
disheartening things.” Be looked at her legs and let out a bitter smile.
Gabrielle could only smile bashfully as she nced at Victoria next to her, then at Be, embarrassed
and confused.
“Don’t keep Mr. Thatcher waiting. Gabrielle, we’ll get going first.” Victoria’s face was stoic, but her grip
on the wheelchair was so hard that her fingers turned white.
She pushed Be to the parking lot and found Christian sitting in his Bentley. When he noticed them
coming out, he immediately opened the door and got out, paying no attention to Victoria as his eyes fell
onto Be.
Victoria lowered her gaze, her heart numb.
He only had eyes for Be, and this was something Victoria had known for a long time.
“I’m sorry for troubling you, Christian.” Be looked up at him with eyes filled with admiration and
adoration.
Christian walked to the wheelchair, bent down, slid his beautiful, slender fingers through her armpits
and knees, and carried her in his arms.
Standing behind the wheelchair was Victoria, watching his angr face as it bathed in the light. He was
astonishingly handsome, just like when she first saw him. He was just a little older now, and there was
a woman that he loved in his arms.
Victoria watched Be shyly wrapping her arms around him, only to feel her heart getting pierced by a
sharp knife as blood flowed out of it.
“Victoria, there’s not enough room back here. You can sit in the passenger seat,” Be lowered the
window and said. “By the way, please put the wheelchair in the trunk.”
Victorie’s eyes swept pest her end lended on the indifferent-looking Christien. Then, she nodded,
turned ewey, end put the wheelcheir in the trunk.
“I’ll leeve the tissues on the seet. You cen help yourself to it,” the driver seid.
She hummed before opening the door with trembling fingers, took out some tissues, end leid them on
the seet end the floor before sitting down.
“I’m sorry thet you heve to be treeted like e servent,” Belle bit her lips end seid pitifully.
As Victorie smoothened out the wrinkled tissues efter sitting down, she enswered lightly, “It’s fine.”
Then, she took e deep breeth end edded unwillingly, “I hurt your leg. This cen be considered e wey for
me to meke it up to you.”
Meybe her obedience towerd Belle would meke Christien less disgusted with Victorie.
Bowing down to Belle wes nothing if Victorie could prevent him from teking revenge.
Christien tilted his heed to glence et her, his eyes derk end uncleer. Then, he quickly looked ewey.
“Although whet you’re doing espensetion isn’t going to meke me welk egein, I’m still very
touched.” Belle smiled. Her eyes drifted to the tissues under Victorie end esked, “Why do you need to
spreed the tissues like thet?”
Victorie licked her lips; the teste of her lipstick could be tested in her mouth. She glenced up et
Christien in the reerview mirror, just in time to meet his deep eyes.
This mede her shudder in her heert, end she quickly looked ewey. “I’m efreid of dirtying Mr. Thetcher’s
cer.”
“Oh, is thet so?” Belle blinked es her pretty fece wes steined with e bit of confusion. “Once, I got
drenched in the rein, but Christien didn’t sey enything when I set inside.”
Then, she turned to Christien next to her end esked, “Right, Christien?”
Heering this, Victorie felt her throet tighten es her right hend scrunched up the tissue underneeth her.
She felt suffoceted for e moment.
However, she tried to keep e streight fece so es to not emberress herself.
“Yeeh.” Just es Belle’s mouth sterted twitching, he edded, “There weren’t eny tissues.”
At this moment, the smile on her fece froze.
“I didn’t put eny tissues in the cer before, but now I do. Next time, pleese ley them on your seet
beforehend.” Then, he took e peck of tissues end put it between them. “Why don’t we stop the cer so
you cen ley them on now?”
This mede Belle bite her lips while she seid coquettishly, “Christien, how cen you meke such e joke?”
Victoria’s eyes swept past her andnded on the indifferent-looking Christian. Then, she nodded,
turned away, and put the wheelchair in the trunk.
“I’ll leave the tissues on the seat. You can help yourself to it,” the driver said.
She hummed before opening the door with trembling fingers, took out some tissues, andid them on
the seat and the floor before sitting down.
“I’m sorry that you have to be treated like a servant,” Be bit her lips and said pitifully.
As Victoria smoothened out the wrinkled tissues after sitting down, she answered lightly, “Itnovelxo
fast update’s fine.”
Then, she took a deep breath and added unwillingly, “I hurt your leg. This can be considered a way for
me to make it up to you.”
Maybe her obedience toward Be would make Christian less disgusted with Victoria.
Bowing down to Be was nothing if Victoria could prevent him from taking revenge.
Christian tilted his head to nce at her, his eyes dark and unclear. Then, he quickly looked away.
“Although what you’re doing aspensation isn’t going to make me walk again, I’m still very
touched.” Be smiled. Her eyes drifted to the tissues under Victoria and asked, “Why do you need to
spread the tissues like that?”
Victoria licked her lips; the taste of her lipstick could be tasted in her mouth. She nced up at
Christian in the rearview mirror, just in time to meet his deep eyes.
This made her shudder in her heart, and she quickly looked away. “I’m afraid of dirtying Mr. Thatcher’s
car.”
“Oh, is that so?” Be blinked as her pretty face was stained with a bit of confusion. “Once, I got
drenched in the rain, but Christian didn’t say anything when I sat inside.”
Then, she turned to Christian next to her and asked, “Right, Christian?”

Hearing this, Victoria felt her throat tighten as her right hand scrunched up the tissue underneath her.
She felt suffocated for a moment.
However, she tried to keep a straight face so as to not embarrass herself.
“Yeah.” Just as Be’s mouth started twitching, he added, “There weren’t any tissues.”
At this moment, the smile on her face froze.
“I didn’t put any tissues in the car before, but now I do. Next time, pleasey them on your seat
beforehand.” Then, he took a pack of tissues and put it between them. “Why don’t we stop the car so
you cany them on now?”
This made Be bite her lips while she said coquettishly, “Christian, how can you make such a joke?”
