Chapter 134
“I’m not ming you for anything, Al. I understand why you’re defending
udia. After all, the feelings you have for her are the same as I have for
Victoria. Thus, it is normal to defend her.” Bane chuckled.
ric frowned and pursed his lips. He could tell that Bane kept mentioning
Victoria while putting udia with him together. He was trying to be on
the same line as Victoria and secretly helping her cut ties with him.
As ric thought about it, his eyes were filled with hostility. He gritted his
teeth and tried to make aeback. However, he realized he couldn’t say
anything.
After some time, Bane thought of something and said, “I’m sorry. Was I
being too straightforward?”
ric was speechless by his actions. After so many years of friendship,
this was the first time ric felt that Bane was hard to deal with.
Meanwhile, Victoria had a dream. She dreamt she was in the ward while

ric and Bane talked on each side of the bed. She could vaguely see
them arguing, but she didn’t know what they were arguing about. She
tried to read their lips but to no avail. She couldn’t make anything out of it.
Thus, she gave up. However, when she woke up, she noticed that her
dream wasn’t just a dream.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw two people sitting on each side
of the bed. When Victoria felt their gazes on her, she froze momentarily
before closing her eyes.
I must be having too many dreams. That is why I can’t differentiate
between dreams and reality.
On the other hand, ric’s expression turned cold when he saw Victoria
closing her eyes after looking at him.
He wondered if she was unwilling to see him.
In the meantime, Bane smiled and said to her, “Don’t pretend to be asleep
if you are already awake, Vixie.”
ric was even more upset when he heard the pet name he gave her.

Yet, Victoria opened her eyes after hearing Bane’s words.
ric was speechless.
This is real. It’s not a dream, thought Victoria as she sat up while clutching
her head. “Why are you guys here?” She thought she was dreaming, but it
seemed to be reality.
Victoria was confused. If this were a dream, I wouldn’t have woken up
mid–way, right? As far as I can recall, ric wasn’t here when I fell asleep.
“I’m worried about you,” Bane said softly.
As soon as his words fell, ric cut him off and said gruffly, “If you are
awake, get up. We are going home.”
“Home?” Victoria looked at ric and seemed confused.
Her reaction made ric even angrier. However, he suppressed his
emotions since Bane was here. “Yes. Don’t you want to see Grandma?”
Victoria kept quiet at the mention of Griselda.

On the other hand, Bane grabbed her coat and phone. “Here are Victoria’s
belongings.”
ric had a grim expression when he saw it. However, he said nothing
and took it.
He wondered what Bane was thinking. After all, he admitted he had
feelings for Victoria, yet he was willing to let ric take her home. In
addition, he was even being considerate and gave him her belongings.
However, ric soon knew his intentions. Just as Bane gave ric the
belongings, Victoria thanked him gratefully while Bane smiled at her
adoringly.
“It’s fine. Remember to get some rest once you’re at home, alright?”
“Okay.”
In that split second, ric looked at Bane speechlessly. He never knew
Bane had a way with words. However, he couldn’t care less and walked
toward Victoria with a coat in his hand. Initially, Victoria was going to wear

it herself, but ric dodged her arm.
Victoria was confused.

Before she could say anything, ric spoke up. “I’ll help you.”
Hearing his words, Victoria didn’t know what to say. Why does he want to
help me all of a sudden? Can’t I wear it on my own?
Before she was able to say anything, ric’s cold voice sounded. “Hands.”
At first, Victoria wanted to refuse. After all, Bane was still in the room and
knew they were getting a divorce. After all, Griselda was done with her
surgery. In other words, things hade to an end between her and
ric. Thus, she didn’t feel the need to put up the act anymore.
However, as she met his gaze, she couldn’t say no. Therefore, as the two
men stared at her, she slowly raised her hands and allowed ric to help
her with the coat.
Since the coat had been out in the air for too long, it was cold. Thus,
Victoria couldn’t help but shiver when she sensed the cold.
Looking at her reaction, ric paused momentarily before taking off the
coat again.
What is it now? Victoria was confused.

Then, ric threw her coat aside and took off his jacket.
At that moment, Victoria was speechless.
Before she could think any further, ric draped the coat around her
shoulder. The coat was warm and cozy. Victoria was startled when she
returned to her senses and realized what he had done. Did he just give me
his jacket because I was shivering from the cold?
Thinking about this, she got off the bed. However, as soon as her feet
touched the ground, ric carried her. In that split second, Victoria
wrapped her arms around his neck out of instinct.
Bane’s eyes darkened when he saw the scene. However, he still looked
calm and seemingly unaffected.
Since ric had to carry Victoria, he couldn’t take any other stuff. Thus, he
called out to Peter, who was waiting for him. “Come in and help me take
some stuff, Mr. Levane.”
When Peter heard ric’s voice, he thought, I finally have something to do.
Then, he quickly rushed into the room and took Victoria’s stuff.

Looking at Bane, ric tightened his grip on Victoria. “We’re leaving,” he
said to Bane.
Bane smiled and nodded. “I won’t be walking you out, then. Stay safe.” He
acted like they were best friends and were not fighting now.
ric nced at him before looking away. Then, he left while carrying
Victoria.
Before Victoria left, she met Bane’s eyes. Only when thetter nodded his
head did she avert her gaze.
I’m sure Bane will be able to do what he promised me, right?
As she thought about it, she felt ric’s chest rumble as he spoke. “What’s
wrong? Are you not willing to leave?”
