Chapter 125
As soon as Janice heard that, she stopped in her tracks abruptly and ran over to stand in front of the
two guys. She lowered her head to take a look at Christian’s hem. If she was not intimidated by him,
she would have been so tempted to pull up his hem and take a look at the wound.
However, Victoria continued to move forward without stopping at all and she headed in the direction of
the car by herself without giving a toss about what was going on behind.
Christian watched her disappearing figure and he frowned slightly before replying, “I’m fine.”
Matthew followed his gaze and looked in the same direction. He lifted his brows slightly and strode over
to stand in front of Victoria as he stopped her in her tracks. “Miss Coleman, I’ve got to send Janice
back and I have some work to deal with at the firm, so I can’t spare the time to send Christian to the
hospital. Could you apany him to get his wound checked out at the hospital?”
“Didn’t he just say he’s fine?” Victoria responded calmly.
Matthew overtook her and spared a look at Christian before coughing mildly. “Christian, your wound’s
started to bleed again. I think you should get it checked at the hospital to prevent anyplications.
What do you say?”
Pausing for a moment, Christian acted naturally as he nced at Victoria, who was standing not too far
from them. “That’s fine with me.”
“I’m sorry, but I’ve got an early shift tomorrow morning, so I don’t have time either. See you.” After
Victoria said that, she did not give Matthew a chance to convince her to stay as she instantly hailed a
cab and hopped onto it.
As soon as she shut the car door, Janice swiftly entered the car from the other side and wound down
the window to say to Matthew joyfully, “Sir, since you’re busy, then there’s no need to send me home.
I’ll catch a cab with Victoria.”
Subsequently, she said to Christian softly and solemnly, “See you, Mr. Thatcher.”
The man did not respond at all as he merely directed his dark, moody eyes on Victoria’s side profile
inside the car. He pursed his thin lips and there seemed to be a turbulent look in his eyes.

Inside the car, Victoria did not bother to spare him a nce or say anything to him despite sensing his
gaze on her.
“Miss Mooney, where are you headed?” She turned to look at Janice by her side.
Janice hastily replied, “Town Hall; I’ll get off at the… the Town Hall Station!”
“Sir, we would like to head to the Town Hall Station first and then to Delta Club next, thanks.” Victoria
leaned over and moved past Janice to wound up the window on Janice’s side.
The driver affirmed loudly and started the ignition soon after that. Subsequently, their car disappeared
at the first intersection.
Christian finally retracted his gaze after seeing the cab disappear from his view and he instinctively
moved his right index finger he had ced by the side of his trousers.
“Do you still want to go to the hospital?” Matthew stretched and shifted his sses before asking.
However, Christian headed in the direction where the car was parked and left Matthew staring at his
back. “It’s just some blood. I’m not going to die from that.”
“Okay, you’re the one who refuses to go, so don’t me me for being cruel then.” Matthew strode
forward and caught up with the man as he ced his hand on Christian’s shoulder. “Christian, let’s
continue the topic we didn’t get to finish earlier on. As one of the topwyers in town, I have a simple
wish, which is to seek the in truth.”
They had been discussing the reason Christian and Victoria had fallen out, but before Matthew
obtained an answer, Janice had barged into the room.
“Unlock the door.” Christian was already standing by the side of the Mercedes-Benz and he frowned as
he turned to Matthew.
Fishing out his car keys, Matthew opened the car door before entering the driver’s seat. Meanwhile,
Christian walked over to the other side and sat in the front passenger seat.
“Christian, what did Victoria do to you two years ago? You didn’t tell me and I’ve had so many random
spections about it the entire day.” Matthew was not in a rush to drive off, so he tilted his head and
asked.
Meanwhile, Christian’s handsome face darkened slightly. The lights inside the car were off and there
was only some faint reflection of the bright lights outside. Since it was dim inside the car, it was hard to
see Christian’s expression.
However, based on their long-standing friendship, Matthew tactfully stopped asking and shifted his
sses before adding solemnly, “If you find that you’re still unable to move on, then you should forgive
her for her previous mistakes. Otherwise, why would you torment yourself this way?”
“That’s not the case.” Christian frowned and replied without hesitating.
Matthew smiled and leaned over abruptly to unclench the first two buttons on Christian’s top; it
revealed the pendant that he was wearing on his neck. “How do you exin this, then? I remember
that b*stard Vincent spent a huge amount and won the bid on an exact same one as this.”
“It’s just a coincidental resemnce.” Christian’s eyes flickered at that moment. Even he himself could
not quite exin why he had to lie about such a trivial thing.
Matthew harrumphed, “Stop lying! The first time I saw Victoria, she had that on her neck, but now it’s
gone. What are the odds that you obtained the exact same one after hers disappeared? I don’t believe
in such coincidences!”
Hearing that, Christian frowned and remained silent as he pursed his lips.
“You can’te up with a rebuke, huh? You’re just being—” It was very rare for Matthew to have the
chance to mock Christian, so he was about to ramble on when someone suddenly knocked on his car
window.
With no choice but to let Christian off the hook for the time being, Matthew wound down his window
and there were two traffic policemen standing outside.
Matthew shifted his gold-rimmed sses and behaved as a topwyer would. “How can I help?”
Matthew shifted his gold-rimmed sses and behaved as a topwyer would. “How can I help?”
The two traffic policemen exchanged looks with each other and there was an awkward expression on
their faces.
Subsequently, the older-looking man cleared his throat and stated, “You’re in a public space right now.
Everyone can see what you’re doing, including the passersby.”
As soon as he said that, he shot a furtive look at Christian, who had his chest bared slightly, before
shaking his head.
At that point, Matthew was stunned in ce and significantly speechless.
“If the two of you can’t help yourselves, then you could proceed to a motel nearby. If you’re
novelxo fast updatejust trying to seek excitement, then you should go somewhere deserted. This
is a public space, so please watch your behavior,” the older man continued to mention this before
leaving with the other man.
The younger man’s voice rang out along with the breeze, “No wonder my sister is alwaysmenting
about how hot men are always gay…”
Matthew was at a loss for words as he thought, What the heck?!
Meanwhile, Christian silently moved away from Matthew.
With an awkward expression, Matthew exined, “I’m not interested in you at all.”
Subsequently, he started the ignition and no longer continued the topic, which was awfully awkward for
them. “If you can’t move on from Victoria, then consider your actions before you make a move. If you
keep offending her like this, you’ll definitely regret this in the future.”
As a response, Christian took off the pendant and toyed with it in his hands. The reflective light hit his
face and there was an inconspicuous sh of troubled look in his eyes that disappeared soon enough.
Matthew sent him back to Thatcher Residence and left immediately after that. Before Matthew left, he
instructed Christian not to put up a tough front and that he should go to the hospital if the pain in his
feet became too much to handle.
In the living room, Evelyn was sitting on the couch; the usuallyposed and elegant woman was
currently dejected and her eyes were red-rimmed.
“Did you have a fight with Dad?” Christian shot a look at her before asking.
She smiled. “Well, it’s not exactly a fight. It’s just…”
Before she could even finish her sentence, she was choked up with emotions as the tears streamed
down her face after which she tried to cover her face awkwardly.
“Wipe your tears.” Christian took out a handkerchief and handed it to her before taking a seat on the
couch across from her.
Evelyn wiped her tears and took several minutes to regain herposure before replying, “It’s nothing
much. Tracy felt aggrieved during her stay with us, so she phoned your dad toin. Then, he
called me up to say that if sheined to him one more time, he would divorce me instantly.”
