Chapter 241
An hourter, the doctor gave Victoria a health report. “He has severe gastritis,
which is primarily why he fainted. He’s also malnourished and severely depressed.”
She took the report from the doctor, unable toprehend how conditions like
malnourishment and severe depression would appear on ric because he had
always been omnipotent to her. Also, he seemed to have never gotten sick or
suffered health issues.
After ncing toward the ward, she asked the doctor, “What’s the next step for him?
Is he going to be hospitalized?”
“ording to the patient’s condition, I rmend he get hospitalized for better
recuperation. Otherwise, his condition might worsen if he continues like this.”
“How did he get such severe gastritis?”
“For conditions like this, it might be due to the patient having irregr meals and
alcoholism. Those are harmful to the stomach. Does your boyfriend drink a lot?”
The term ‘boyfriend‘ made Victoria frown, but she thought there was no need to
exin their rtionship to a doctor, so she nodded. “Yes. He tends to drink a lot.”

Although she had never seen him drink, she remembered Fiona mentioning
bumping into ric at the bar. In addition, Fiona thought he was there to train his
alcohol tolerance, which was why he developed gastritis. Even her effort to master
having a high tolerance to alcohol had caused her to get gastritis, let alone him.

“Then, you must pay more attention to that and make sure he stops drinking.”
“Okay. I’ll tell him that.”
“Get him administered into the hospital and pay the fees.”
“Alright.”
After that, Victoria went to help ric get administered into a ward. During the
process, she realized she had forgotten to bring her purse, and the amount she had
inside her e–wallet was barely enough to pay for the hospitalization fees.
“Please wait a moment.” She had no choice but to look inside her bag to find ric’s
personal belongings she had taken after he fainted. She pondered for a moment
before taking out a familiar card.
“Try this one.”

When she went to the hotel, she noticed his wallet and cards were ced in the
same manner as he did in the past, so she deduced that if he maintained that habit,
perhaps his passcode stayed the same as well.
“Miss, please enter the passcode.”
She leaned over and entered the passcode.
Beep-
The amount needed was instantly deducted from ric’s ount.
That beep of approval shocked Victoria. Still the same passcode from five
ago? Isn’t he afraid I would steal all his money?

Once she finished packing up the things, she headed for his ward, which consisted
of three patients. His bed was the innermost one, with a young child in the middle
and an elderly man on the outermost bed.
When Victoria entered the room, the elderly man’s wife was peeling an orange while
the child’s mother was coaxing him to eat. The atmosphere inside the room was
lively. Perhaps Victoria was too eye–catching because everyone quieted down in
unison after she entered the room.

She smiled at them before heading toward the innermost bed and sitting in the
chair with the health report and inpatient papers. Afterward, she gazed at the
still–unconscious ric with aplicated gaze.

It seemed like he had fallen into a deepa because he had not woken up since
they arrived at the hospital. Hisplexion was ashen, and even his thin lips had
be chapped. It was the first time she saw him in such a weakened state.
The question spinning in her head was how he brought himself into such a
condition. Then, she understood why ric was so unwilling to talk with her back at
the hotel. He might have been at his limit back then.
As Victoria thought of that, she sighed and took out her phone to call Henry. When
he received her call, he asked carefully, “Miss Selwyn, why haven’t you returned to
thepany? Did… you guys get into an argument?”
“No, we didn’t get into an argument. I’m at the hospital-”
“What?!” he screamed in shock. “Why are you at the hospital? Though you and Mr.
Cadogan have a past together, making such a big deal of it is unnecessary, right?
Are you alright?”
Once he finished his rants, she helplessly spoke up, “Can you hear me out?”

*Sure. Sure. Please speak, Miss Selwyn.”
Henry felt his heart almost jump out of his throat after hearing that Victoria was in
the hospital because he was afraid they would lose the investment if something
happened. Nothing would be worse than not having any investors.
“We didn’t get into a fight. ric fainted, so I brought him to the hospital.”
“Mr. Cadogan fainted? Why? Miss Selwyn, you-”
“What’s with that tone? Are you suspecting me of doing something to him?”
He chuckled in response and said nothing.
“Has ric’s assistant left thepany?”
“Yes. He left half an hour ago.”
It has been quite some time, so he must’ve left. “That’s all, then. I’ll think of another
way to find him.”
After hanging up, Victoria remembered something and searched through her bag.
Then, she pulled out ric’s phone. She stopped when she was about to key in the
old password, which was her birthday; she was the one who forced him to set it that

way. Though five years had passed, she could understand if he did not feel like
changing passcodes to his credit cards, but the meaning behind a phone’s lock
screen passcode was different. He had to have changed it, right?

Thinking of that, she put away the phone but could not help taking it out again after
giving it a thought. She yed with the phone and looked at her reflection on the
phone’s screen. I don’t care. I’m just curious. That’s it. Curiosity does kill a cat. I just
wanna know whether ric changed the passcode from my birthdate! That’s all.
Just like that, Victoria slowly persuaded herself while looking at the phone. Once
she was done, she took a deep breath and slowly began entering the numbers of
her birthdate. She did not have to think about it thanks to her muscle memory.
The first few numbers were keyed in without much hassle, but her fingers
instinctively stopped moving when it came to thest number. She pursed her lips.
and nced at the unconscious man. A few momentster, she withdrew her gaze
and tapped on thest number.
The phone’s screen shifted and disyed the home screen.
She held the phone, frozen in her spot, while her heart began racing. How could this
