Chapter 130
After hearing Bane’s response, ric’s mind was in chaos. He had always
felt that something was off about Bane when they were young. Bane was
always close to Victoria, and he often patted her head and called her “little
girl.” Still, Bane had always said she was just a kid who hadn’t grown up.
yet. So, he always thought Bane treated her like a younger sister.
Although this was his opinion, deep down, ric always felt that
something was off. This feeling continued until they lost contact and
disappeared from each other’s lives after he went abroad. However, he
never expected that today… Bane actually admitted it, and so quickly at
that.
“Surprised?” Bane chuckled softly. “Isn’t it obvious that I have liked her since
we were kids? I thought you knew all along.”
After hearing that, ric said nothing, with his lips pressed into a straight
line.
“Looks like you just found out. Well, it’s not toote to know now.” Thinking
about something, Bane added, “So, what will you do about udia?”

“What?” ric’s mind was still on the fact that his friend liked Victoria. As a
result, he had no desire to think about anything else.
Then, Bane put it delicately. “I heard you left the hospital halfway because
someone sent you a message saying udia was missing?”
ric was astute, so he naturallyprehended what Bane was saying.
Although ric also felt that the two incidents were too coincidental to the
point of being suspicious, he couldn’t believe that udia was involved,
given that she had risked her life to save him by jumping into the river.
On the other hand, Bane could tell ric’s response by his silence. “It
seems our opinions are different now. In that case, as a friend, I have to
warn you in advance. I can’t stand it when anyone bullies Victoria. Hence,
if I find out that udia is involved in this matter, I won’t go easy on her.”
ric frowned upon hearing that. “What do you mean? Have you already
assumed that it’s her?”
“I’m just waiting for the results. Don’t you want to know? Considering your
feelings for udia, you should at least think about what you will do if it
turns out she’s involved, right?”

Meanwhile, ric did not go to find udia after leaving the hospital but
instead returned to Central Hospital.
Griselda had already undergone her operation, but she remained in the
observation room.
When ric arrived, he asked, “Grandma, is she-”
p! A pnded on his handsome face. He didn’t dodge, and he was
hit squarely in the face.
Mary’s palm’s hurt because she had to use all her strength to p her son,
and her normally fair palms quickly turned red. She usually maintained
such poise and beauty, but she lost her cool at that moment. Then, she
red at him with bloodshot eyes. “I’m so disappointed in you!”

After Adrian saw that, he quickly stepped forward to pull his wife away.
“Why did you have to do that? Does your hand hurt?” he spoke to her while
massaging her hand in a distressed manner.
Soon, ric’s handsome face was quickly marked with a handprint. After

all, the p had used almost all of his mother’s strength. After that, he
appeared gloomy and disheartened. In his entire life, from childhood until
now, his mother had neverid a hand on him until this one time. Despite
his desire to exin himself, he was speechless at realizing he had let
everyone down. He had left while his grandmother was in the hospital
undergoing surgery, and he had not returned until now, which made him
appear to be aplete jerk. After a while, he said, “I’ll see Grandma first.”
After saying that, he walked away while Mary red at her son’s back,
with Adrian trying to calm her down. “Okay, don’t be angry. Anyway, things
have already happened.”
“What do you mean? Just because things have happened, I shouldn’t care
anymore? It’s because I’ve been too lenient that he’s acting so recklessly
now!” She was so angry that she lost the air of a refined and wealthydy.
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t care, but since things are like this now,
getting angry won’t help. Let’s take it slowly,” he exined.
“Take it slowly? With things like this, we can’t take it slowly. Why don’t you
take care of your son yourself? I’m done with it.”

Adrian sighed helplessly upon hearing that. “You know I always listen to
you. As for our son, what would you do if you were in his shoes? If you
heard that your lifesaving benefactor was missing, could you sit still in the
operating room?”
When Mary heard that, she didn’t say anything.
“It’s a dilemma. What do you expect him to choose?”
“I didn’t say he couldn’t go find her, but did he have to take so long? Even
Victoria… Fortunately, Bane found her. Otherwise, she would be in danger,
and what’s the point of his dilemma?” she argued.
“Yeah, fortunately, Bane was there. Don’t me ric anymore. He’s also
feeling bad about it,” Adrian said.
“Feeling bad? He can feel bad all he wants but will regret it when
something happens. He doesn’t know what’s most important to him,” Mary
replied angrily.
However, when she thought of her son silently walking away after being
pped by her just now, she felt sorry for him. He is probably feeling bad

too. Still, what could he do? Either choice is painful for him. Even as
parents, we could not speak ill of udia lest we be deemed ungrateful to
a benefactor. As decent individuals, we should be thankful. It’s not easy to
strike a bnce between everything, and poor Victoria is the one who has
to suffer. The more she considered this, the more she felt for Victoria; she
knew she couldn’t stand in Victoria’s shoes after what had happened
today. Despite that, she wondered how Victoria remained soposed
under such duress.

ric, on the other hand, stood up after approximately an hour of
apanying his grandmother outside the observation room.
“I’m going out for a while.” Despite being pped by Mary earlier, he still
informed the two of them before leaving.
His mother immediately furrowed her brows upon hearing that. “At this
time, you still want to go out?”
“Yes, there’s something I need to take care of,” he said in a baritone.
Looking at her son’s serious expression, Mary initially didn’t want him to go,
but after thinking about it, she changed her mind. “Okay, then go take care

of it. Take care of it quickly, and as for Victoria-”
“Don’t worry, I will take care of everything,” ric replied. Then he left.
Since udia returned to the hospital ward, she noticed that ine was
not there. She waited for a long time, but ine did note back. My
phone is quiet, with no calls or iing messages. As if ine and
Christopher have suddenly vanished into thin air.

Soon, she began to feel anxious because she knew Christopher had acted
at this time. She had already made great efforts to create time and
opportunity for them, but ric was extremely astute and would
eventually suspect her. Hence, she had only the fact that she had saved
his life, despite her own wounds, to fall back on as her ace in the hole.
In addition, she knew that everything would be fine as long as Victoria’s
unborn child was gone. Therefore, she could only hope that Christopher
hadpleted the task, or else all her efforts would be in vain.
While udia was lost in thought, the ward door was abruptly opened.

“Who is it?” She looked at the door, thinking ine had returned with good
news. However, to her surprise, she saw ric dressed in a dark suit with
an icy expression and his entire being radiating hostility.
