Victoria instinctively looked up and nced at him after hearing what he
said. She felt rather self–conscious when she gazed directly into his deep,
dark eyes–she felt as if he could read her mind then. She hastily looked
away before responding in a nonchnt tone. “Yeah.”

“Is that so?” ric narrowed his eyes before looking at the area under her
eyes, which she tried to cover up with her sses. “Why do you have dark
circles, then?” ric seemed to realize something the moment he finished
his sentence. “That exins why you’re wearing your sses today.”
Victoria didn’t know what to say. She pulled her hand away before
shooting him a disdainful look. “I’m done cleaning up for you, but you have
a cut on your lip. You should get some medication for itter. Come on,
let’s go look for Grandma.” Victoria turned to walk after finishing her
sentence, while ric hesitated for a while more before going after her.
“You have bloodshot eyes, which shows that your eyes are tired. Did you

not sleepst night?” he asked. Victoria finally turned around to snap at
him. “That’s enough, ric.” Then, she hastened her footsteps, her high
heels clicking on the ground.

After speaking to the doctor, they found out that Griselda fainted because
she had been too anxious. Her vital signs were all fine, and she didn’t show
any other significant problems after arriving at the hospital. The three of
them heaved sighs of relief after hearing the news. Thankfully, she only
fainted because she was nervous! I’m d there’s no other issue, Victoria
thought.
“I wouldn’t rmend for her to get surgery with the current mental state
that she’s in,” the doctor uttered with a frown. “Mental illnesses can lead to
more severe problems as well. She’s physically prepared for the surgery,
but her weak mental state might lead to other issues,” the doctor advised.
“What should we do now, then? Do you have any ways to fix this, Doctor?”

her down for now, but we may also need her family to be around for some
counseling sessions with a psychologist,” the doctor said. Victoria
understood the situation then–Griselda’s issue was still more of a
psychological one than a physical one. Victoria pressed her red lips.
together to form a glum look on her face.

ric walked over to give her a hug. “We understand. We’ll do our best to
support her treatment. We’ll excuse ourselves for now,” he said in a calm
voice. “Sure. You guys should pay Old Mrs. Cadogan a visit now,” the
doctor replied. ric led Victoria–who felt like she was floating around in
a daydream–out of the office and toward Griselda’s ward.
There were two nurses keeping watch in Griselda’s ward, and they got to
their feet to greet Victoria and ric when they walked in. “Old Mrs.
Cadogan is still asleep for now, but she’s doing fine. You guys don’t have
to worry,” one of the nurses said.
Victoria nodded with a heavy feeling in her chest. “Thanks. We can keep an

eye on her now, so you guys can go on with your other jobs,” Victoria
offered. Then, she took a seat by the side of Griselda’s bed. Her
movements were gentle and careful, and she seemed as light as a
feather even when she sat down on the chair. She didn’t make any noise
at all.

Griselda, who was still fast asleep, had a peaceful look on her face. She
still had the same elegant aura despite all the time she spent in the
nursing home. One could tell that she was a specialdy even just by
looking at the way shey silently on the bed. Both Victoria and ric were
silent as they stayed in the room.
Nearly half an hour had passed when the sound of a phone ringing filled
the air. Victoria instinctively nced in ric’s direction, and he hastily
pulled his phone out to put it on silent. Since both ric and Victoria were
sitting by the olddy’s bed, Victoria was close enough to see the caller ID
on ric’s phone–it was a call from udia. Victoria met ric’s gaze for
a moment before she looked away. “You should go out to pick up the call,”

ric was silent for a while before he walked out to pick up the call. After
he went out, a rather disheartened look shed in Victoria’s gaze. Why is
udia calling him at this time? Did he tell her that we’re getting a divorce
today? Is udia calling to ask if we’ve sessfully gotten a divorce?
Meanwhile, ric made sure to walk a distance away from the room
before he picked up udia’s call. “Al?” udia’s voice came from the
other end of the line. Even though ric wasn’t in a good mood, he still
tried his best to sound pleasant. “Yeah. Why are you up so early?”
udia sounded worried. “I’ve been awake for a while, actually. I didn’t get
much sleepst night as I was worried about Old Mrs. Cadogan. How is
she now? Al, I know this might not be a good time to make such a request,
but I’m really worried about Old Mrs. Cadogan, so… Can I drop by to visit
her? Don’t worry–I’ll make sure that she doesn’t see me. I’ll just stay

uttered.

ric raised his eyebrow when he heard how meek she sounded. She was
his savior, and she didn’t deserve such treatment. ric was tempted to
agree to the suggestion, but he eventually decided against it when he
considered Griselda’s condition. “Grandma hasn’t gone for the surgery,
udia.”
udia paused for a while after hearing his words. “Is that so? Was the
surgery dyed, or…?”
“Yeah. The surgery was dyed because Grandma got too nervous and
fainted.” ric nced in the direction of his grandmother’s room as he
spoke. “The surgery will be dyed for quite a while.”
“What? It’s… It’s going to be dyed?” udia froze as she nced at the
red wine and steak that she had prepared. She had even ced some
scented candles on the table. She hadn’t expected such a situation to

arise at this point.
“Yeah. We’re not sure how much longer it’ll take until Grandma gets the
surgery. She’s still asleep for now, so I’ll contact youter on.” ric ended
the call and walked back to the room after that.

Beep, beep. udia froze when she realized that ric had ended her
call. One of her friends walked out from the room next door, and the friend
walked over to tease her when she saw that udia had ced her
phone down on the table. “How is it going, udia? Did you make the
call?”
udia nodded. However, her friend didn’t seem to realize how low her
spirits were. “Woah. Congrattions, then! Is ricing overter? Can

we stay back to celebrate with you guys?” the friend asked excitedly.
“Yeah, udia. Your precious Al is finally free of that woman. You’ll officially
be Mrs. Cadogan after this, won’t you?”

“Oh, Mrs. Cadogan, please don’t forget us after you be all wealthy
and powerful!”
“You’ll have to share some of your wealth with us once that happens. I’m
expecting to get a VIP seat at your wedding, you know?”
“Me too, me too! I want to be at the front of the hall! By the way, can you
throw the bouquet of flowers in my direction during your wedding,
udia? I’m hoping to marry my boyfriend by the end of this year!” one
friend added.
“Really? Are you nning to get married too? Congrattions,” another
friend replied. The few friends chatted happily among themselves, and
they didn’t realize the gloomy look on udia’s face. The friends seemed
to get more and more excited as they spoke.
After a while, udia couldn’t take it any longer. She looked up and
snapped at them. “Can you all stop talking?”

Her friends were stunned as they didn’t understand why she was throwing
a tantrum. “udia…”
“You didn’t even try to understand the full situation and are making your
own assumptions. None of you even care about how I feel. Don’t you think
you guys are a bit too much?”
