    Chapter 133


    As soon as the voice died away, two nurses pushed Victoria out of the room.


    Christian’s gaze was fixed on her and he subconsciously followed suit.

    “I’m warning you, Thatcher. Don’t follow her!” Vincent grumbled as he came to a stop in front of him


    before clutching Christian’s cor with both hands.


    After he finished speaking, Vincent trotted to catch up with Victoria.


    “Christian, I don’t care if you have any issues with Victoria. She’s not in the ce to be triggered right


    now, so I’m pleading with you as her mother. Please just avoid showing up before her during this time,”


    Evelyn said as she approached him.


    Christian stood there staring at Evelyn, fists slightly clenched without any words.


    “Christian—” She summoned him once more, this time with pleading eyes.


    He tightened his fist, then rxed it and responded calmly, “Okay.”


    Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief when she heard hispromise. As such, she worriedly trailed after


    Victoria with Gabrielle, Teresa, and the servants following behind her.


    Only Christian, Charlotte, and Dr. Hill, who remained on the ground, were left in the previously crowded


    corridor.


    After ncing at the ’emergency room’ sign, Christian pursed his lips and walked toward the elevator.


    The tall man’s silhouette could not help but appear lonely and pathetic.


    Charlotte paused for a half-minute, repeatedly thanked the doctor, then followed Christian into the


    elevator.


    There were only the two of them in the elevator and she leaned against it while smirking at him. “You


    imed to have no feelings for Victoria, Mr. Thatcher. Duplicity is pointless now that you’re twenty-four


    years old.”


    This time, Christian did not deny it but changed the subject instead. “Please find out everything about


    the rooftop incident and let me know.”


    Ding!


    The elevator had finally reached the first floor.


    He emerged from the elevator wearing half-wet pajamas and slippers before driving away, leaving a


    bunch of onlookers surprised and curious.


    At this point, the rain had stopped and the sky was clear with fresh air.


    Charlotte inhaled deeply, gazed up at the sky, and stretched her waist; her brows and eyes were filled


    withziness and interest.


    Christian’s character dictated that he should have invited her to the car in a gentlemanly manner, but


    this time, he said nothing and drove away… Tsk, someone’s heart is broken.


    In the general ward, Victoriay on the hospital bed with a countenance as pale as paper. The hospital


    bed and gown appeared oversized when they were donned with her extremely thin figure.


    Instead of asking what was wrong, Vincent stared at her with scarlet eyes, silently crying. His


    expression,bined with his unremarkable outfit, was very amusing, but no one had the mood to


    laugh at this point.


    “Vince, I’ve just been resurrected. Shouldn’t you be a little happy?” Victoria’s lips twitched, but her eyes


    were filled with unmistakable sadness.


    She thought that she would be dead for sure this time, but God forbid if she darednd a foot across


    hell’s gate… She would most likely resume her boring and undignified life once she was released from


    the hospital. God sure has nothing good in store for me.


    “Why are you crying when Victoria’s operation’s sessful?” Teresa frowned as she handed Vincent a


    tissue. “If you cry again, I’m kicking you outta the room.”


    Yet, her tissue was refused by Vincent. He simply wiped his nose with his sleeve and asked Victoria,


    “When you begged to die, didn’t Teresa and I sh across your mind?”


    After a brief pause, he raised his voice and asked, “Who do you think I’m working so hard for now?”


    He went to thepany to learn business and was mocked by many people, but he never considered


    quitting; he was yearning to be stronger so that he could force Christian, that jerk, to leave Victoria.


    “Vince, the doctor advised us not to fluctuate her emotional state. You can discuss thatter.” Evelyn


    gently drew him aside to persuade him.


    Vincent, on the other hand, said nothing and just stared at his sister.


    “Who said that I begged to die? I got caught in the rain while trapped on the rooftop. My pulmonary


    edema and leg problem recurred, so I was sent here. I did not choose to die,” Victoria exined.


    He remained unconvinced and eximed, “Liar! Gabrielle told me that she called an ambnce for


    you, but you were pleading for death. All she could do was call the ambnce and tell them not to


    come!”


    Seated on the chair beside him, Evelyn found what she heard to be surprising as a glint shed across


    her eyes. Meanwhile, Gabrielle twisted her hands together while her face became gradually flushed.


    She looked at the siblings, feeling dumbfounded and speechless.


    “I wouldn’t have been able to speak much at that point. Gabrielle may have misheard my


    wordnovelxo fast updates due to the strong wind, rain, and thunder,” Victoria responded lightly


    with no intention of ming Gabrielle.


    Still, her brother was suspicious despite his visage brightening up after hearing it.


    “Tori, no matter what happens, your brother and I will always be on your side. Don’t be too harsh on


    yourself,” Teresa said as she sat on the edge of the hospital bed, holding Victoria’s hand.


    “I know,” Victoria replied, smiling.


    “You’ve done a lot for Tori this time and I have nothing to offer you. Please text me your bank ount


    number and I’ll reimburse you!” Vincent offered as he approached Gabrielle.


    Blushing intensely, Gabrielle paused before declining, “No, that won’t be necessary. We live together at


    the dorm and I just so happened to help. It’s no big—”


    “Just send your bank ount info to my brother. He’ll be ufortable if he doesn’t repay you,”


    Victoria said with a smile.


    Though sheughed a lot today, Teresa felt that Victoria was not truly happy. She’s only putting up a


    front for me and Vince to save us the worry.


    “Thank you, Mr. Coleman,” Gabrielle thanked cautiously with a little joy after looking at Victoria and


    Vincent.


    In actuality, he was unconcerned about this trivial matter. Instead, he was focused on the ultimate


    mystery. “You said that someone locked Tori on the rooftop, right?” He clenched his fists and looked


    downcast.


    “Daisy should be the one who locked her up there, but I’m not a hundred percent sure,” Gabrielle said


    after gulping her saliva.


    “Get some rest and don’t think about anything else,” Vincent hummed to Victoria before turning and


    walking out.


    “Where are you going, Vince?” Teresa stood up and stopped him, fearing that he would cause more


    trouble after leaving the room.


    However, his footsteps continued as a stern voice echoed from the door, “Whoever dares to kill Tori, I


    will f*cking end her!”


    “I’m going to deal with your brother, Tori. I’ll see youter!” Teresa was worried about both Vincent’s


    rash actions and Victoria’s condition.


    “Teresa, it’s alright. I won’t die this easily.” Victoria chuckled before adding, “Also, tell my brother that


    sometimes it’s easier to be dead than to stay alive. There’s no need to end the person who locked me


    up there.”


    Nobody knew it better than Victoria that living was far worse than dying.


    At this point, Gabrielle could feel both strangeness and familiarity radiating from Victoria. This was


    precisely how she treated Gabrielle during those incidents… It’s scary
