    Chapter 458


    Bane scoffed coldly. “Are you telling me what to do?”


    “It’s just a suggestion.”

    “Oh, Mr. Hudson…” Bane narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze boring into Ethan. Though his


    tone was light, there was ayer of frost beneath it, and there was no trace of his usual


    gentleness. “Did you pretend to be a good person so much that you deluded yourself


    into thinking you actually are one?”


    “I’m not sure if I’m a good person or not, but the way you’re forcing someone to stay by


    your side isn’t exactly the most morally correct thing to do, Mr. Morison,” Ethan


    protested.


    The corners of Bane’s lips slowly curled upward. “How righteous of you to say that, Mr.


    Hudson. Didn’t you bring her to me because of your parents?”


    His question immediately rendered Ethan at a loss for words.


    A momentter, he could only agree, “Yes, I’m not as just as I sound, but you’re so much


    more pathetic than me, Mr. Morison.”


    At that, Ethan turned around and left, leaving Bane standing in ce. As he watched Ethan’s retreating


    figure, a thought popped up in his mind, causing his gaze to slowly

    darken.


    Leon was standing right next to him, and he suddenly recalled a thought at the sight,


    asking, “Mr. Morison, since Miss Selwyn is already here, then that person…”


    Although he was aware of whom Leon was referring to, Bane was not in the mood to


    worry about this matter. Hence, after shooting him a warning look, he headed back into


    the ward.


    ric. He was indeed unable to shake off this huge problem from his side. At first, he


    nned to wait for Victoria toe to him before taking action, but out of all possible


    circumstances, there was not a single instance where he considered that Victoria


    would lose her memory. If she had forgotten everything, including ric, wouldn’t it


    mean that he would no longer have to make his move?


    Bane slowly lowered himself onto Victoria’s bed, his gaze sweeping across her face. “If


    you’re willing to listen to me obediently after you wake up and stay by my side, then I


    might be able to consider… letting him go.”


    s, at this moment, Victoria couldn’t hear a single word he said.


    Victoria only began to stir awake when the clock struck noon. As her memories after


    she regained consciousness were still intact, she was not startled by the familiar sight


    before her when she woke up, and only felt a pang of pain in the back of her neck.


    Hence, she subconsciously reached for the back of her neck.

    As a gentle voice sounded by her right, Victoria turned toward its source and looked at


    him. “It’s you…”


    Although she did not recognize him, he had always stayed by her side. Because of this,


    she now remembered him.


    Bane leaned down and carefully helped her up. “What’s wrong? Do you feel


    ufortable anywhere?”


    For some reason, Victoria felt her body subconsciously resist his touch whenever he


    ced his hands on her. However, she didn’t have the strength to struggle at all, so she


    could only allow him to help her up. Then, she watched as he ced a pillow behind


    her back so that she could sit morefortably.


    Once she was properly seated, Victoria said, “My neck hurts a little.”


    At her words, Bane’s hands froze in the midst of his movement before he rubbed his


    neck in embarrassment, saying a little guiltily, “Do you remember what happened before


    you fainted?”


    Victoria froze. “What happened?”


    Seeing her lost expression, Bane immediately exined, “You suddenly fainted, and I

    brought you in here.”


    “Oh,” Victoria replied, lowering her gaze.

    As he watched her behavior and reaction, Bane began to grow worried that she would


    try to regain her memory again and fail, so he spoke out to interrupt her train of


    thought. “Other than your neck, does your body hurt anywhere else?”


    Hearing that, Victoria went along with his question and seriously assessed her body


    before shaking her head. “No.”


    And so, Bane rubbed his nose even more guiltily.


    Back then, the situation had been urgent, and he was focused on stopping her from


    recalling her memories, so he hadn’t considered the fact that she might have some.


    lingering side effects after he hit her. Now that she was telling him that her neck hurt,


    he felt his heart ache with worry.


    “How about I give you a massage?”


    As he spoke, he began to lean toward her, reaching out to ce his hands on her neck.


    As he had helped Victoria up previously, she hadn’t had any strength in her body, but


    she now had the energy to struggle as she was sitting up. Hence, as his hands


    gradually approached her, she reflexively dodged away, avoiding his touch.

    At her avoidance, Bane froze before looking at her.


    For some reason, his straightforward gaze caused her to reflexively avert her eyes as


    she exined hesitantly, “I–It’s fine. I can do it myself.”


    At that, she reached out and gently rubbed the parts of her body where she felt sore.


    After observing her for a moment, Bane did not say anything else. When he returned to


    his seat, the two fell into a long silence before he finally said, “Are you hungry? Do you


    want to eat anything?”


    Logically speaking, she hadn’t eaten since her ne ride yesterday, so she should be


    starving. As her wound was on her head and not anywhere else, there were most likely


    no foods that she had to avoid either.


    However, Victoria unexpectedly shook her head. “Thank you for your concern, but I’m


    not hungry.”


    “Not hungry?” Bane narrowed his eyes. “Do you know how long it’s been since youst


    ate?”


    “Really?” Victoria was slightly dazed by his question, and she reached out to clutch her


    stomach. “But I really don’t feel hungry at all.”


    For some reason, she genuinely did not have the urge to eat anything at all.

    At the same time, Bane could tell that she genuinely did not want to eat, and he knew that there was no


    point in asking any further. Hence, he fell silent, picking up his phone


    to make a call instead and instructing his men to send some food to them.


    After ending the call, he ced his phone away and said to her, “There are some things


    that you don’t have to try to remember if you can’t. I’ll take good care of you from now


    on.”


    However, Victoria furrowed her brows. “But…”


    “But what?”


    “But I don’t even know who I am.”


    “What’s the problem with that? I can tell you everything you don’t know.”

    Following that, he told her both her name and her age.


    Victoria didn’t think much of this new piece of information, but she couldn’t help but


    ask, “Then, what is my rtionship with you? Where’s my family? Why haven’t they

    “Your family isn’t here, and I hadn’t expected you to lose your memory before this. I was


    afraid that your family would get worried, so I didn’t notify them.”


    Afraid that my family would get worried? Victoria nodded. She could understand that.


    “As for who I am, I can officially tell you that now.”


    Hearing that, Victoria lifted her head and looked at him.


    “I’m your fiancé.”
