Chapter 128


    On the other hand, Bane’s gold–rimmed sses obscured his deep–set


    eyes, making it difficult for Victoria to read his expression, while he kept a


    smile on his face the entire time.


    After a moment of eye contact, he raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”


    At his words, she lowered her eyes and remained silent. She also did not


    mention visiting Griselda again. Then, she quietly let the nurse reinsert the


    needle, at which point the pain gradually spread from her hand and


    heightened her alertness.


    After the nurse left, it was just the two of them in the ward, and Victoria


    figured now would be a good time to break the silence. As she fumbled for


    words, Bane abruptly kneeled before her, holding a clean handkerchief


    and gently wiping away the bloodstains from her wound that had seeped


    out from being aggravated earlier.


    Although the nurse had already cleaned it up, the blood had stained her


    sleeve and could not be wiped away. However, he appeared to be driven


    by an obsession with cleanliness as heboriously wiped away the blood


    stains repeatedly.

    After nearly ten seconds, she couldn’t take it anymore and said, “It’s okay,


    just leave it. You can’t wipe it off.”


    When he heard that, his movements paused, and he didn’t continue


    wiping. After a moment, he said, “Someone will bring you new clothes


    Victoria didn’t respond and couldn’t quite understand what Bane was


    trying to do. He probably knows I’m pregnant but hasn’t mentioned it since


    the nurse left. Since he and ric are friends, I doubt ric would keep it a


    secret from him…


    Lost in thought, she finally heard him speak. “Your hesitant look tells me


    you have something to say to me.”


    In response, she bit her lower lip and looked at him awkwardly.


    When he saw the look on her face, he raised his hand and lightly tapped


    her forehead. “We’ve been friends for many years, and you still hesitate to


    speak to me? Do you regard me as an outsider?”


    She mused. I don’t mean to make you feel like an outsider, but it’s difficult


    for me to bring up this matter.

    Chapter 128 He Doesn’t Want the Child


    When Bane noticed Victoria remained silent, he lightlyughed and


    broached the subject. “Alright, then let me ask you, what do you n to


    do?”


    His word choice suggests that he already knows about it… Even though the


    chances of him not knowing after he brought me to the hospital are slim, I


    still hold out hope. Before he asked me that, I had a glimmer of hope, but


    now it’s gone. At that thought, her face turned ashen, and she said, “So,


    you already know.” Then, she lowered her head and added, “Are you going


    to tell him?”


    For a long time, she did not get a response from him. After a while, she felt


    his big hand ruffle her hair. This action made Victoria’s beautiful eyebrows


    twist slightly. Why does he still treat me like a child?


    Soon, she heard Bane ask lightly, “You don’t want him to know?”


    However, she was taken aback by his question. As ric’s friend, Bane’s


    normal response to hearing me say this should be a surprise that ric is


    still unaware of it. Instead, his reaction is to ask if I don’t want ric to


    know about this matter. As she pondered this, she saw him stuffing the


    handkerchief he had just used to wipe her bloodstain back into his suit

    Suddenly, another scene yed out in front of her eyes. When they left the


    restaurant thest time, he identally bumped into someone, so he


    wiped his hands thoroughly with a handkerchief and then threw it away.


    Now, he…


    For a moment, Victoria forgot what she wanted to say, feeling her mind in


    chaos.


    “Don’t worry, I will help you.”


    After hearing this, she felt that her mind became even more chaotic.


    Looking up at Bane, she asked, “Help me?”


    He smiled slightly in response. “I will also help this loving couple, ric and


    udia.”


    The words “loving couple” made Victoria heartache, and she eventually

    nodded numbly. Although her mind was still in chaos, hearing that he


    would keep her secret, she finally felt relieved.


    “What’s going on between you two?”
