Chapter 263


    ric watched Victoria from a distance. She was leaning against the gravestone as


    she spoke quietly to Griselda.


    He couldn’t hear her words, but the sorrows and desperation emanating from her were


    slowly dawning on him.


    She’s just like me when I first heard Grandma passed away.


    No. She’s worse.


    The thought brought him back to a memory of five years ago. Victoria hallucinated


    when the doctors were operating on Griselda, which proved how much she loved


    Griselda.


    ric narrowed his dark eyes at the thought. He worried that visiting Griselda’s grave


    would upset Victoria significantly.


    A whileter, the weather turned worse. The thunder rumbled in the sky.


    Terrance looked up in the sky and found the sky turning darker.


    Therefore, he reminded ric with a frown, “Mr. Cadogan, it’s going to rain. Should we


    Chapter 204 You Asked for a Bruce


    go get Miss Selwyn and head back to the hotel?”


    ric stood still. A momentter, he ordered, “Get us two umbres.”


    Terrance wanted to say something but ended up not saying anything at all. He headed


    to the security post to ask for umbres.


    A few minutester, he returned to ric’s side with two ck umbres. “Mr.


    Cadogan, I got the umbres.”


    “Give her one.” As soon as ric finished the words, an idea urred to him. Therefore,


    he reached out his palm to Terrance. “Forget about it. Give me the umbre.”


    Then, he walked toward Victoria with an umbre,


    Victoria had stopped talking, She was sitting in front of the gravestone without a word.


    It seemed to him that she didn’t care about her image. Even though the ground was


    wet, she simply sat there. The soll even dirtied her light–colored coat.


    He frowned at the sight. He stopped before her with an umbre in his hand. “It’ll rain


    soon.”


    The words of reminder left him, but Victoria didn’t visibly react to his words. She stayed

    sitting with a nk face.


    ric’s frown grew deeper. “Victoria.”


    She remained sitting on the ground,


    The thunder rolled, and rain began to fall from the sky,


    ric’s expression sank. He stepped closer to her, shielding her from the rain with the


    umbre.


    However, Victoria didn’t move at all. It was as if she didn’t hear him or noticed the rain.


    Something’s wrong.


    At first, it was only light rain. However, the rain began to pour after some time. Her


    clothes will get wet if she stays here.


    After all, it was winter.


    ric could no longer wait for her response. He bent down and picked her up with a


    hand around her waist and another under her legs.


    Victoria was a slim woman. Even though ric wasn’t in his best condition, it wasn’t


    difficult to carry her.


    Victoria leaned against him like a willow. Her arms fell to her sides as she stayed in his


    arms like a lifeless puppet.


    Upon seeing this, Terrance rushed over to them and helped ric to hold the umbre.


    Once Terrance held the umbre above ric’s head, ric looked down at the woman


    in his arms.


    “What’s the point of feeling sad? Grandma is gone. She won’te back even if you


    cry.”


    ric’s words were harsh and direct. They pierced through Victoria’s heart like a


    dagger.


    She raised her chin and locked eyes with him.


    Even though she knew he had nothing to do with it, she couldn’t help the grudge that


    rose within her. “It’s all your fault!”


    He didn’t expect her to throw usations at him out of nowhere. “What do you mean?”


    However, she bit her lips and stared daggers at him instead of answering.


    Her re andck of cooperation frustrated him. He narrowed his eyes. “Answer me.”


    Why is she ming me? Is she hiding something from me?


    Victoria scoffed. “What can I say? There’s nothing to talk about between us. ric, I


    wouldn’t have left Grandma if it wasn’t for you! I didn’t even have the chance to see her


    off!”


    “What do you mean? You asked for a divorce in the first ce!”


    “Me? Asking a divorce?”


    Victoria pushed him away as if she heard a joke. She struggled out of his arms and took


    a few steps back, exposing herself in the rain.


    ric was shocked to find her standing in the rain. He grabbed the umbre and


    approached her, blocking the rain from pouring on her.


    He wrapped his arm around her waist when she attempted to step back. “You might


    catch a cold.”


    “It’s none of your business.”


    Victoria retorted with a cold look on her face. She tried to throw his hand off her waist


    but instead gave him the chance to grab her by her wrist. “It is. Let’s settle it right now


    with Grandma as our witness.”


    Thest sentence reminded Victoria of where she was. Right! We haven’t left


    Grandma’s grave. We shouldn’t fight in front of her.


    I can’t lose my temper here.


    At that, the swirling emotions within her subsided. She found herself beginning to calm


    down.


    She cast her eyes downward as calmness enveloped her.


    “We have nothing to say. Let’s head back.”


    After that, she tried to walk away. However, he grabbed her faster. “No. Let’s get this


    straight.”


    ric refused to go and tightened his grasp on her wrist. “What do you mean it’s my


    fault you had to leave Grandma?


    Victoria looked at him coldly. “I mean literally. Do you not understand that?”


    Then, Victoria swatted his hand away. However, her world turned dark all of a sudden,


    and she passed out.


    “Miss Selwyn!‘ Terrance eximed. He involuntarily stepped forward to grab her.


    Fortunately, ric caught her in time.


    She passed out in his arms. At that moment, ric finally noticed that her cheeks


    weren’t as rosy as when they departed from the hotel.


    She looks pale. How did I not notice it at all?


    “Mr. Cadogan, will Miss Selwyn be all right?” Seeing Victoria’s pale face, Terrance


    expressed his concern.


    ric didn’t answer the question. Instead, he handed the umbre to Terrance. “Hold


    it.”


    Terrance immediately reached out his arm to take the umbre.


    However, the umbres wererge so he couldn’t hold two at the same time. After a


    second of hesitation, he threw his umbre away and held ric’s umbre.


    Once Terrance took charge of holding the umbre, ric carried Victoria in his arms.


    Terrance followed behind to shield Victoria with the umbre as the group strode out of


    the cemetery.


    The rain had already ruined Terrance’s clothes when the group arrived at the car.


    ric’s clothes also got wet in the rain, making him look like aplete mess.


    However, he paid no mind to his condition. He searched for the towel in the backseat to


    wipe the water off Victoria’s body. He also ordered Terrance, “Grab the wheel. We’re


    going to the hospital.”


    Terrance got himself a towel to dry his body once he got in the car.


    It was winter. Getting caught in the rain wasn’t a pleasant experience.


    Fortunately, Terrance was a healthy man. Thus, getting wet wasn’t a problem for him at


    all.


    As he dried himself, his gazended on ric, only to find ric wasn’t taking care of


    himself at all. Thus, he waited until ric’s hands were free before passing ric a new


    towel.


    “Mr. Cadogan, your clothes are wet. Use the towel to dry yourself.”


    ric looked down at the towel in Terrance’s hand for a moment before taking it. To


    Terrance’s surprise, ric reached out to Victoria again.


    Terrance wasn’t expecting such an oue.


    ric used the towel to dry Victoria’s clothes. After making sure she was fine, he finally
