Chapter 138

After arriving at the hospital, Victoria was delighted to see that Griselda
was recovering well, and she stayed by her side to keep herpany.
When Griselda saw her looking like a cheerful young girl, it lifted her spirits
considerably as well.
“Are you thirsty, Grandma? Does your wound hurt? Are you tired? Do you
want to eat something or take a nap? If you can’t sleep, I can tell you a
story.” Perhaps due to her excitement, Victoria did not notice the
contradictory nature of her words.
Griselda didn’t point it out but instead said, “I’m not tired, but since
want to tell me a story, I’ll listen for a little while before sleeping.”
With that, Victoria began to tell Griselda various stories, and Griselda
listened with relish, her lips curving into a benevolent smile.

Meanwhile, as Mary listened to Victoria’s gentle voice, she couldn’t help
but watch her in admiration, thinking that her daughter–inw was quite
remarkable. After all, she did not have that much patience to tell an
elderly person such stories. Moreover, Victoria could narrate different

stories without any references.
Eventually, Griselda fell asleep to the sound of Victoria’s soothing voice.
Only after Griselda fell asleep for a while did Victoria stop. Just as she was
about to sit on the edge of the bed, she saw Mary waving at her. She
seemed like she had something to say, so Victoria followed her to the
balcony of the ward.
Mary closed the ss door, blocking the sound from spreading to the
ward, then pulled Victoria to sit on a chair on the balcony. “How are you? Is
your leg injury serious? It seems like you’ve recovered when I saw you
walking just now.”
Victoria nodded. “Yeah, it has healed quite a bit.”
“That’s good to hear. If you still feel ufortable, don’t force yourself. Sit
down and rest when you need to.”
“Okay, I will.”
“By the way, this is for you.” Suddenly, Mary took out a card from her bag
and pushed it in front of Victoria.

Seeing the bank card, Victoria was stunned. “What?”
“Here’s some pocket money for you,” Mary said softly.

“I don’t need it!” Instinctively, Victoria rejected the offer and pushed the
card back to her.
“What do you mean you don’t need it? You’ve been married to Al for so
long, but I’ve never given you any pocket money. What’s wrong with giving
you some now? Do you think my money is not good enough?”
Hearing that, Victoria could only exin in a fluster, “It’s not that. I have
money. I work at thepany, and I get a sry every month.”
“You know that’s just your sry. Is it the same as the pocket money I’m
giving you? Besides, you’re not even an employee of the Cadogan Group.
You’re the president’s wife.”
When Victoria heard those words, she smiled shyly out of embarrassment.
The president’s wife… I’ll be losing that title in two days, though. Even now,
I’m just the president’s fake wife.
“Take it. It’s something I’m only giving you,” Mary said, pushing the bank

card toward her. “Buy yourself something you like. Girls your age need to
spend more money on dressing up. You always dress too inly.”
Suddenly, she thought of udia, who hade to the hospital to
secretly visit Griselda.

Truth be told, the injury on udia’s forehead looked shocking. Her face
was pale, and she was still wearing a hospital gown. She was in such a
hurry toe here that even her hair was messy. When she came with
ric that day, she stood next to him cautiously, not even touching the
hem of his clothes. With a paleplexion and a look of extreme fragility,
she appeared pitiful. It was the kind of appearance that many men would
likely find endearing and want to protect.
Looking at Victoria in front of her, Mary sighed in secret. It’s not that
Victoria isn’t good, but she’s too independent and often solves things on
her own. udia, on the other hand…
As a woman, how could she not see the affection udia had for her son?
After all, udia was their family’s benefactor, so she still needed to be
polite to her. However, this politeness was only limited to being a guest. If
she wants to take Victoria’s ce and rece her, I will be the first to
Chapter 138 You’re the President’s Wife
disapprove as a mother.
Am I dressing too inly? In actuality, Victoria never dressed inly
before Mary returned to the country, for she had always been fond of
fashion and beauty. Before the Selwyn Family went bankrupt, her clothes,
jewelry, and bags were the trendiest of the season. She was also a
premium customer of many brands, who would send her specific gifts
each year and invite her to attend various events.
However, after the Selwyn Family went bankrupt, she didn’t have the
money or the mood to be extravagant anymore. Even if ric gives me
money, I… She lowered her gaze without thinking about it anymore. After
all, it was more reassuring to spend her own money. Since her marriage
with ric was fake, she would feel guilty if she kept spending his money,
but superficially, she still smiled and nodded in eptance.
“Okay, I will buy more clothes in the future. Thanks, Mom.” Afterward, she
epted the bank card without any objection. At the same time, she
thought to herself, I will return the card to ric after we get our divorce
certificate and have him return it to his mother. With this thought in mind,
she felt more at ease.

“By the way…” Mary, who had given her the pocket money, didn’t n on
letting her go that easily. After Victoria epted the bank card, she
brought up the incident from the other day. “Was it Bane who saved you
that day?”
Talking about that day, Victoria nodded. “Yes.”
“Well, that child is really thoughtful. I heard that he nned toe and
visit when he heard that your grandma was having surgery, and he
happened to see you being taken away.” At that, Mary couldn’t help but
sigh. “Thank goodness he witnessed it. Otherwise, we can’t guarantee
what would have happenedter. Also…”
Mary has a very agile mind, for she didn’t wait for Victoria to answer
before starting the next sentence. “After you came back that day, did you
go through aprehensive check–up?”
Check–up? Not again! Whenever Victoria heard the word, she would get a
headache. She had been hiding it well, but because of this sudden
incident, her secret was discovered by Bane. Fortunately, Bane wanted to
help ric and udia get together. Otherwise, if he had told ric about
this matter without her consent, the trouble would have been on herself.

“Yeah, I did go through one.”
Despite that, Mary wasn’t too reassured and said softly, “How about this?
After your grandma recovers in the next few days, let’s go for another
issues.”
In the next few days? I’ll probably not be Mrs. Cadogan by then. Yet,
Victoria nodded. “Okay.”
