ric was injured. While Victoria was worried about him…
1/8
Her worry had felt wonderful to him. It made him ignore his injuries since it all felt worth
1. it.
However, she was also worried about someone else.
That other party was also the man who had dragged her to another country.
Without ric’s nostalgic feelings over their former friendship, Bane would never have
gotten to where he was now.
“Should we stop holding back, Mr. Cadogan? Otherwise, Miss Selwyn will keep worrying
about Bane Morison,” Terrance asked.
“Hold back? What will we do?” ric narrowed his eyes as his voice trembled in anger.
“Despite the fact that his injury is not significant, she is still overwhelmed with worry for
him. If we kill him, what would she think of me? Anyway, I have a family now. I have to
stay true to thew.”
Terrance immediately realized ric had misunderstood his words. He sighed. “Mr.
Cadogan, you’re mistaken. I actually mean to cut off all contact between the two of
Chapter 423 Psychological Disorder
them, making sure she can never hear any news rted to him. That’s all. I didn’t
mean…”
As his voice drifted into nothing, he reached up and made a strangling motion.
ric silently stared at him.
This man…
2/8
Impatience rang in ric’s voice as he looked away. “Enough. Tell me why should I get
treatment for him anyway? What illness is he suffering from?”
“You mean Bane Morison?”
“Who else?”
“Well, I’m not too sure… From what Miss Selwyn said, he seems to be suffering from a
psychological disorder.”
“A psychological…”
ric squinted in through. How could it be a psychological disorder? When they were
students studying together, Bane acted normal. He did not seem like someone who
was suffering from a psychological disorder.

That meant if anything changed, it would have happened after he moved to another
country.
3/8
Bane had cut off all contact after flying off. No one knew what happened to him during
that time.
If Victoria said he was suffering from mental issues, then did it mean something bad
had happened during that time?
What on earth happened?
He used to be a good friend of ric’s, and he had taken great care of Victoria in the
came to Bane.
“Have the men investigate this. Find out what’s going on,” he ordered.
He wanted to know what psychological disorder Bane had been suffering that could
have pushed him to kidnap Victoria.
Terrance had thought ric would have a n to resolve the situation after letting
ric know about the conversation. He did not expect to be instructed to dig deeper into the case.

What could he even dig up?
Even if Terrance really found out what was ailing Bane, was ric going to help his
rival?
That was a ludicrous thought.
“Mr. Cadogan…” Terrance hesitated. “Are you serious about this?”
ric shot him a confused nce.
4/8
It was an instruction to investigate, so why was Terrance asking if ric was serious?
“What is it?”
“In my opinion, even if something did happen to Bane, it is none of our business. More
importantly, he nearly hurt Miss Selwyn, and he severely injured you. If not for him, none
of this would have happened.”
“Yes, I know.” ric nodded.
“In that case…”
“Are you unable to follow my instructions?”
Chapter 423 Psychological Disorder
Terrance was at a loss for words. After all, he had been very blunt with his opinion. If
ric were capable of being persuaded, he would not have asked Terrance to
investigate Bane.
Why did it matter if Bane was traumatized as a young man?
How was it any of their business?
Everyone had been traumatized at one time or another.
However, ric had made up his mind, so Terrance could not say anything more. “I
understand, Mr. Cadogan. Don’t worry. I’ll dig up every scrap of information on this if
that is your wish.”
Terrance soon left, leaving ric alone in the room.
His lips were so tightly pursed together that they nearly disappeared.
Terrance’s words echoed in his mind. Was Victoria that worried about Bane?
Jealousy swelled in him. He could not resist getting to his feet to search for her.

Chapter 423 Psychological Disorder
Victoria had been thinking about Bane ever since her conversation with Terrance.
Her children were currently watching cartoons with their phones in their hands.
6/8
She had a phone as well, given to her by ric’s men. The night they ran away, they had
been in such a hurry that she left her old phone behind.
Thus, she had no choice but to use the new phone provided by ric, along with the
new number.
She had to wait until they flew back home before she could get a new SIM card for her
old number.
As she silently stood there, Summer wandered over to her.
“Victoria, everything has been wrapped up here, so the devil and I… Ah, I mean, Mr.
Ludson and I will be leaving soon.”
They had only spent a brief moment togetherst night, but Summer had to leave
already.
Victoria was reluctant to see Summer go, and it shone in her eyes as she nced at
Summer.
Chapter 423 Psychological Disorder
“I thought you were staying for two more days,” she said.
7/8
Summer stuck out her tongue in a gesture of disgust before apologizing, “I’m so sorry. I
want to stay as well, but Mr. Ludson has spent too much time away from thepany.
If he doesn’t head back soon, thepany would descend into chaos. I had been
hoping he would leave without me, but… He insists that I go back with him.”
Victoria knowingly smiled upon hearing the exnation.
“Did he insist on that, or is it because you want to stay with him?”
Summer’s eyes went wide in response. “Are you mad, Vic? Why would I want to stay
with him? I am only going with him this time because he helped me out this time. I can’t
be that ungrateful. I also can’t just quit. It is somewhat impossible for him to find my
recement that quickly.”
Victoria understood the actual message, however. She smiled and did not try again to
convince Summer to stay. “Okay. Safe travel. Thank you so much foring all the way
here. Once everything is settled, let’s get together for a meal.”
Overwhelmed by sorrow, Summer flung arms around Victoria.
“I don’t want to leave you, Vic,” she sobbed.

Victoria’s eyes burned with tears as well. She tightened her arms around Summer and
buried her face into Summer’s neck to hide her hazy vision.
“I don’t want you to leave either.”
“I’ll go looking for you as soon as I’m done with work,” Summer said.
Something about the way Summer said that set rms ringing in Victoria’s mind.
“You’re not going to quit, are you?”

When the two women broke off from their hug, Summer looked at Victoria with eyes
still shimmering with tears and nodded. “I don’t want to work there
