    “He was badly hurt when he was taken home, and that’s not even including his external wounds. The


    doctors spent a lot of time just treating him. He should’ve been put under forty-eight hours of


    observation after he woke up.” Terrance stared at the ground, resigned. “But we couldn’t stop him.”


    He didn’t tell her how terrifying ric was. He looked like a beast who would kill anyone who came in


    his way. If they tried to stop him, he would kill himself. In the end, Terrance threw caution to the wind


    and let ric save Victoria.


    Victoria finally got the whole picture. ric was lying when he said he was fine. Everyone tried to stop


    him, but they failed. That would exin why he smelled like blood. Then, reminded of something, she


    asked, “You were implying he had internal injuries. What kind? Will he end up withplications?” She


    had been worried about that.


    Terrance said, “Worry not, Miss Selwyn. Your amnesia is worse than his condition. Even though he


    risked his life to save you, now that he’s getting treated, he’ll be fine.”


    Victoria still looked worried, however. Seeing that, Terrance said, “Miss Selwyn, if you’re still worried…”


    If you’re still worried, just wait until hees back. You’ll be at ease once you see that he’s fine. That


    was what he wanted to say.


    Victoria took it the wrong way. Before he could finish, she said, “I can see him, can’t I?”


    Terrance froze. “Um…”


    Victoria looked at the doctor. “Is my checkup done, doctor?”


    The doctor liked this girl. She was cooperative and had a nice voice. He smiled at her. “I need fifteen


    more minutes. If he’s still not back by then, you can seek him out.”


    “Thank you.” Victoria continued with the checkup. Just fifteen more minutes. ric has been with me


    for a long time. It’s going to take a while before hees back.


    Terrance didn’t expect this to happen, but he didn’t mind letting her go. If she saw his injuries, she


    might realize how much he had risked saving her, and their rtionship might get better. Well, that’s


    settled then.


    Fifteen minutester, the checkup was done.


    “Thanks for the cooperation,” the doctor praised. He was the Cadogans’ personal doctor, after all. They


    needed to wait for some of the test results, while some were avable immediately. Victoria was in no


    hurry to find out about her checkup results. She straightened out her cor and got prepared to see


    ric. However, the n failed because just as she got up, ric was already back.


    When he noticed her getting out of bed, he frowned. “Why are you getting out of bed? Is the checkup

    done?” He approached her and passed his arm through her underarm. Before Victoria realized what he


    was doing, he was already picking her up.


    She gasped and wrapped her arms around his neck as he took her back to the bed. The doctor and


    Terrance had taken their leave, so only ric and Victoria were left.


    Victoria said, “You can’t just hold me whenever you want.”


    “Why?” He hadn’t seen her for a long time, and he missed her. They just got out of a crisis, so he


    wanted to hold her all the time and never let her out of his sight. Only then could he feel content. Only


    that could erase his guilt, fear, and unease.


    “Because you’re hurt. If you hold me, you’re going to tear the wound open.”


    “No. You’re not even that heavy.”


    “Really?” Victoria pulled up a memory. “Then why did you bleed so much when you saved me?


    Because you were holding me, weren’t you?”


    “No. Because the wound was already open,” ric denied, so Victoria wouldn’t think it was her fault.


    “I see.” Victoria stared at him. “So that means you didn’t deal with the wound when it was torn open.”


    ric froze. Da mn it, she got me. He yed dumb. “What?”


    Victoria changed the subject all of a sudden. “You were in the ck car tailing us, weren’t you?”


    It was a simple question, but ric stopped to think about it. Maybe I shoulde up with a better


    answer.


    “What is it?” Noticing his pensiveness, Victoria huddled closer. “Is that so hard to answer? It’s just a


    yes or no.”


    ric didn’t feel this miffed even when his wound was at its worst. This was a simple question, but he


    couldn’t answer it simply.


    “ric?” Victoria huddled closer, her scent enveloping ric. ric stared at the beautiful woman, and


    an inappropriate idea popped into his mind. Well, he already had that idea before, but Terrance’s


    entrance interrupted him.


    He was upset at Terrance because of that, but he was d Terrance showed up. After all, Victoria must


    still be unwell after the ordeal. He shouldn’t be having these thoughts, so threw them out of his mind


    and turned away. “I was just wondering how you could be so lively after the ordeal. The checkup’s fine,


    I presume?”


    “Don’t change the subject. Were you or were you not in the car?”


    Can’t run from this, I guess. “I was.”


    “You were tailing us for a while. You had time to deal with your wound, so why didn’t you?”


    Knew it. She’s here to demand an exnation. He smirked. “Worried about me? But it’s in the past


    now. What matters is that I’m fine right now and I’m right here with you. That’s enough, isn’t it?”


    “You think just because you got out of this with sheer dumb luck, you can pull something simr


    next time?”


    ric’s smile froze. “That’s not what I meant.”


    “You’re incorrigible, or you wouldn’t have waited until I woke up before you got yourself checked. What


    could you even do for me if you were keeping an eye on me while your wound festered?”


    Victoria knew she was castigating him, and she guessed that he might be disappointed. After all, he


    risked his life to save her, but now she was rebuking him.
