After they returned and put Griselda to rest, udia looked at Victoria and
said, “Thank you.” She knew Victoria had the chance to stop her from
getting close to Griselda if she wanted during their walk. Yet, she didn’t do
anything.
“I’m sorry that I have used you of being a liar.”
Initially, she didn’t believe it when Griselda postponed the surgery
because she fainted. After all, how would a person suddenly faint when
they were fine just a moment ago? She thought that Victoria had told
Griselda the truth, which was why Griselda would y along. udia knew
she had a dark mind. However, after some time, she realized that Griselda
knew nothing about it, and Victoria didn’t stop her from getting close to
Griselda. At that moment, udia knew that she had made the right
choice. Victoria was indeed a grateful person.

“I have to go back today. Otherwise, Old Mrs. Cadogan might suspect
something. However, I still intend toe tomorrow. Can you invite me
over?”
Victoria frowned at her request. “You can juste over whenever you
like. Why should I invite you over?”
“I’m afraid that Old Mrs. Cadogan will be suspicious about me. She would

her proposal.

“I’m doing this for her own good by spending time with her.” A glint shed
across her eyes as she thought of something. “You saw it yourself too.
Grandma is happy. If she is in better health, the surgery can happen soon.

As expected, Victoria wavered at her words. Although she looked unhappy,
she said, “Okay.” Then, she looked at udia impatiently. “Do you have
anything else to say? If not, I’m leaving.”
udia didn’t care about her attitude since she had gotten what she
wanted. Thus, she smiled and said, “I’m done talking. You can go and do

Victoria was speechless by her reaction.
“Why is it so hard? Compared to these few days, I feel like I used to be in
heaven. You had such a tough life, Miss Victoria. It’s terrifying.”

embarrassed being scolded by him since she had feelings for him. Thus,
she threw multiple tantrums at him. Yet, whenever that happened, ric
only frowned and said, “Are you sad because I scolded you? What are you

“Miss Victoria?” Suddenly, Yasmin’s voice snapped her back to her senses.
She stopped thinking and started working.
Fifteen minutester, she had solved all of Yasmin’s problems and told her
to try it herself. After Victoria was done with Yasmin, she was going to
continue working. However, as she looked at herptop for mere seconds,
she began to yawn uncontrobly. Tears formed in her eyes as she kept
yawning.
Why do I feel sleepy when I had enough sleepst night?

baby, is it you who is tired? I didn’t walk much, yet you are exhausted?” she
said with a smile.
