Chapter 111
Compared to ric’s restlessness, Victoria seemed much calmer. “Let’s go. Let’s not
dy Grandma’s check–up.”
Without any outsiders present, she didn’t put on an act, and it made her sound and
lookpletely different.
When she finished speaking, she realized that he wasn’t moving. She frowned
slightly. She hadn’t wanted to separate herself from him so soon, but his words were
far too annoying, so she couldn’t help herself. The results from Griselda’s checkup
weren’t certain at all and Victoria had been far too hasty.
At that thought, she took a deep breath and was about to turn to speak to him when
the car suddenly set off at a great speed. She was extremely shocked and turned to
look at ric, seeing that he was driving with apletely dark expression while
exuding intense rage.
For some reason, she felt herself tearing up as great sadness rose inside her. What
is he doing? I didn’t do anything wrong at all, so why do I have to bear all of this?
How is his rtionship with udia any of my business? He was the one to suggest

Chapter 111 Hurt Too
marriage as well as divorce, even asking me to abort the child. He has been the one
controlling everything, so why is he angry with me?
Her tears welled up and she turned to look outside the window before they could
fall. She leaned backward and turned her head up slightly so her tears would
umte without trickling out.
Never mind. Just let it be. We probably can’t even be friends anymore. What other
choice is there? I shouldn’t have fallen for him.
The car went at a high speed before ric calmed down enough to let it return to a
normal speed. When they arrived at the hospital and got out of the car, he saw that
her eyes were red as if she had been crying. His stormy mood abated at once after
seeing this.
As Victoria was about to step inside the hospital, he caught her wrist. “Were you
crying?”
She did not even turn her head. “No.”
He frowned. Her voice sounded normal and did not seem suspicious, yet her eyes
were as red as that of a rabbit’s.

Why is she crying? Is it because I drove too fast?

As ric considered this, he felt her hand trying to free itself. He lost focus for a
while before gripping her wrist tighter.
Remembering what his mother had said, he pursed his lips to form a straight line. “It
was my fault just now.”
.
Victoria, who had already calmed down, felt herself tear up again and nearly couldn’t
stop her tears. “I don’t need you to apologize. Let go.”
She tried to draw her hand back, but he continued gripping it tightly, not letting go
no matter how hard she struggled. ric wasn’t sure if he was mistaken, but he
could feel the sadness radiating from the back of her head. The emotions which
had tormented him reached their peak and he opened his mouth, about to say
something.
“There you are, Mr. and Mrs. Cadogan.” Two familiar nurses came out of the
rehabilitation center at that moment and greeted them voluntarily.
ric frowned, not expecting outsiders to interrupt them. Meanwhile, Victoria took
the opportunity topletely shake him off and moved forward to talk to the two
Chapter 111 Hurt Too
nurses. Their attention was drawn to her immediately and they did not even notice
him being angry.

After another ten minutes, Adrian’s car arrived as well. Since the chauffeur had been
the one driving, not to mention that Griselda was in it, the car moved extremely
stably.
As soon as Adrian alighted from the car, he shot a disapproving nce at his son
and scolded sternly, “Why did you drive so recklessly? It’s fine if you are alone, but
Victoria is there with you.”
After reprimanding his son, Adrian went off to check on Victoria. Mary came
forward while pushing Griselda’s wheelchair as she shot her son a look. Seeing his
dark expression made her snort inwardly before she shook her head. I gave him my
secret weapon, but he still ended up like this. He deserves that.
On the other hand, Griselda, who was sitting in the wheelchair, seemed to have
sensed something too and couldn’t help asking, “They seem to have some issues
since their emotions seem too unusual.”
Mary paused before realizing what Griselda was worried about. After pondering for
Chapter 111 Hurt Too
a second, she chuckled. “Mom, the younger generation likes to wear each other out.
You don’t have to be too concerned. Back in the day, Adrian and I would also argue
every few days. I would either think he didn’t care enough about me or that he
wasn’t being considerate enough. To be brief, their personalities will surely cause
some friction when they get together before eventually bingpatible.”
“Your words make sense, but…” Griselda couldn’t help worrying and decided to tell
Mary about udia after some consideration. Her daughter–inw was smart and
would definitely find a way. If this could be dealt with, then Griselda didn’t have to
worry about it.
udia…
Griselda couldn’t really do much about her. It would be easier if udia had been
any other girl, yet she was someone their family was indebted to, and it made things
he couldn’t ignore her or even treat her frigidly. Instead, he had to be warm toward
her. Such a rtionship was hard to resolve as their elders.
After hearing what Griselda had to say, Mary did not seem too worried. “So, you’re
worried about that, Mom? I don’t think you have to be so concerned. ric may be
Chapter 111 Hurt Too
slower on the uptake, but he definitely knows what he wants.”
Griselda wasn’t reassured and sighed instead. “I agree with thetter, but I’m worried
about Victoria getting hurt.”
Mary looked instinctively toward Victoria. The young woman was wearing an
azure–colored long coat paired with a cream blouse underneath, with her
waist–length hair gathered into a low ponytail. When she lowered her head, several
strands of hair came loose from its sides to conceal her wless face, making her
look more delicate.

The nurse was saying something to Victoria, and she nodded slightly before smiling.
She looked to be smiling, but she seemed sad and unhappy for an unknown reason.
At that point, Mary, who had always been optimistic, couldn’t help but frown too.
She initially felt she didn’t have to worry since she thought her son knew what he
wanted, so there would not be an issue. However, Griselda’s reminder made her
realize she hadn’t considered Victoria’s feelings. Victoria had emotions and would
feel unhappy or hurt too.
