Chapter 123


    When Victoria handed over the phone, ric also saw the content.


    Victoria clearly saw his pupils contract; it was probably because he was


    worried about udia running away,


    She turned her face away, wanting to take off her jacket to give it back to


    him. But at this moment, she heard ric say, “I’ll go out for a while.”


    Although she had guessed this, hearing him say it himself felt different.


    Victoria said softly, “Okay.” She then stood up to take off her jacket to give


    it back to him.


    ric’s gaze changed as he held her hand. “No need. Just wear it. I’ll be


    back in an hour.”


    “But it’s cold outside,” Victoria protested.


    “I am a man.” ric’s voice was firm. “You wear it. I’ll be back soon.”


    Then, he looked at the light outside the operating room.

    “There’s still an hour to go for the surgery. I’lle back before that. Call


    me if you need anything.”


    Victoria pursed her lips and spoke softly, “Okay. Let your parents know.”


    “Mm.” ric nodded.


    Then, he let go of her hand and went to find Adrian and Mary..


    When Mary heard that he was going out, she immediately red at him in


    displeasure. “What are you thinking? Do you know what’s going on right


    now? Do you even care about your grandmother?”


    ric pursed his lips, staying silent under the reprimand.


    Seeing him lowering his head and remaining silent, Mary poked his chest.


    “What are you going to do?”


    He didn’t speak, but his expression clearly indicated that he was going out.


    Seeing this, Mary sneered. “Did Victoria agree to let you go?”


    ric finally looked up and nodded.

    Mary couldn’t believe it. “What? She actually agreed?”


    Then, she looked at Victoria and made a sarcastic remark. “She’s so


    generous. She actually agreed to let her husband go out and look for


    some other woman at this critical moment.”


    Victoria felt her ears turn red at Mary’s sarcasm, which was the first time


    she had ever experienced it.


    ric frowned slightly. “I have something important to do.”


    “What could be more important than your grandmother?”


    “udia is missing and I need to find her.”

    Hearing udia’s name, Mary hesitated for a moment. She really didn’t


    like her son’s attitude toward udia, but unfortunately, udia had done


    them a great favor.


    When it came to a benefactor, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything


    unkind.


    She asked, “Why did udia go missing? What happened to her?”

    “She suffered severe injuries to her face and will be scarred. She’s not in a


    good state of mindtely,” ric said, looking at the time.

    When Mary heard that udia had suffered serious injuries to her face, as


    someone who cared about her appearance, she was at a loss for words. If


    she was also injured on her face, she would probably go crazy.


    “I’ll leave first,” ric said, seeing that Mary and Adrian weren’t saying


    anything else.


    Looking at his back, Mary could only say, “Come back soon, and if


    necessary, let your assistant find someone to help you search for her.”


    In response to her, ric merely disappeared from view.


    When he left, Mary said helplessly, “Why does it have to be udia? We


    can’t say anything about her. If we do, we’ll seem ungrateful.”


    She sat down and sighed.


    Adrian reached out and stroked her head indulgently. “Don’t think too


    much. Fate has its own n.”

    Mary red at him petntly. “What are you saying?”


    Adrian just smiled and said nothing.


    Mary thought of something and said to Adrian, “You stay here. I’ll go over


    to Victoria.”


    “Okay.”


    Victoria sat there wearing ric’s jacket while looking at Mary walking


    toward her with a helpless expression.


    Sure enough, after Mary sat down next to her, Mary asked, “Doesn’t it hurt.


    to watch him go find another woman? Aren’t you heartbroken?”


    Victoria could only faintly reply, “He’s just going to find her and not do


    anything else.”


    “Are you sure it’s just like that?”


    Victoria remained silent.


    “You are husband and wife; sometimes you don’t need to be so

    understanding. If you feel jealous, feel jealous. If you’re always too


    amodating, he might think you don’t really love him.”


    Yes, Victoria understood this principle.

    But… their marriage was fake from the beginning, so did she have the right


    to feel jealous.


    Seeing that Victoria didn’t say anything, Mary suddenly felt a bit frustrated.


    “Alright, forget it. As long as you two don’t have any problems. As an elder, I


    won’t say much.”


    After speaking, Mary got up and returned to Adrian’s side.


    Victoria looked up and saw that after Mary left, Adrian carefully helped her


    sit down and adjusted her cor, full of affection throughout the process.


    Love for someone truly could not be hidden.


    Sometimes, she envied Adrian and Mary’s love for each other.


    In this world, couples who loved each other and could stay together for a

    When she was young and secretly liked ric, she also thought of them


    as being like Adrian and Mary.

    But because of her father’s failed rtionship, Victoria felt that love was


    not so beautiful anymore.


    However, when she saw Adrian and Mary, she felt that she could do it too.


    Still, fantasies were just fantasies, and reality was far from it.


    She was her father’s daughter, so her fate would probably end up like her


    father’s. She would not be getting a happy ending in love, right?


    Thinking of this, Victoria could only sigh in her heart.


    After a moment, she suddenly felt nauseous, probably because she


    hadn’t eaten much in the morning, and she even felt that the air here was


    stuffy. She wanted to go outside and take a breather.


    Victoria stood up and said to Adrian and Mary, “Dad, Mom, I’m going to the


    restroom.”

    Upon hearing this, Mary immediately looked at her.


    “Going to the restroom? Do you want me to apany you?”


    Victoria shook her head. “I can go by myself.”


    “Alright, be careful.”


    As Victoria looked a little weak, Mary was a bit worried about her.


    “Okay.”


    Victoria smiled at her and then walked outside. When she got to the door,


    she suddenly remembered that she still hadn’t taken off ric’s jacket.


    Nevertheless, she was toozy to go back, so she just draped the jacket


    over herself.

    The air in the hallway was chilly, and Victoria subconsciously tightened the


    jacket around her.


    To be honest, the weather had been getting colder recently.

    She looked out the window and guessed that it would snow in Gandra


    soon.


    As she was thinking, footsteps approached from behind.


    Many people came and went to hospitals, so Victoria didn’t think much of


    1. it.


    But when she heard the footsteps getting closer and the same creepy


    feeling from this morning returned, she sensed that something was wrong


    and wanted to turn around.


    A pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her from behind, covering her


    mouth and nose.


    Then, a strange smell came over her.


    Soon, darkness washed over her and she lost consciousness.
