Chapter 756
A quiet hospital signified the late hour!
Soon, the doctor and nurse walked in and gave her a detailed examination.
"It's okay, the bleeding has stopped, so there's no need for surgery! Miss, your body needs special attention. You have acute stomach bleeding, despite it not being serious, it may cause convulsion and shock. You must pay attention to it in the future! Stay in the hospital for observation for two more days. If there is nothing wrong, you can be discharged. In the short term, you should have a light diet and eat more porridge. In the future, don't drink or eat too much food that'll agitate your stomach. Don't mistreat your stomach!"
After that, he instructed a few more things, and then the doctor left with the nurse.
Sitting at the bedside, Trevor helped her up. He pinched her pale face and gave her a big hug. "Fortunately, you're determined! Vicky, you scared me to death..."
They thought that there was an unknown spot that was bleeding in her stomach, so they had arranged surgery for her. Fortunately, she opened her eyes at the last moment, so the doctor chose the conservative treatment method instead. If even the strong medicine couldn't stop the bleeding, and if she couldn't wake up that night, she would need to have an operation the next day.
"Does your stomach still hurt? Are you hungry? I've been keeping the porridge warm for you..."
Shaking her head weakly, Victoria said, "Where's Ally?" Was it Alicia who told him to come?
If she had woken up earlier, she wouldn't have let her bothered him! She didn't want to see him. Even if she wasn't in pain, seeing him then put her in pain again!
He didn't expect that the first sentence she said was that, and he felt like his earnestness was being splashed with a bucket of cold water. Her words made Trevor's throat feel dry.
"It's late, so I asked them to go home first... She'll come back tomorrow to see you!"
"Oh..."
After replying and withdrawing her hand, Victoria slowly lay down again. "I'm tired, I want to sleep!"
Obviously sensing her attempt to distance herself from him, Trevor's heart suddenly sank. When he was about to say something, she had already closed her eyes. He was about to say them, the he swallowed the words. He bent over and helped her pull up the quilt. He continued to cover her with his coat and sat down on the chair at the edge of the bed...
After two consecutive days of traveling, Trevor was actually tired, and even the dark circles in his eyes were getting obvious. Although it was only a glance, Victoria actually saw it. Her hand under the quilt slightly clenched, but she did not say a word.
She was not so generous, and she was not a bandaid that soothed wounds that would only be used when needed, and to be thrown away when unneeded. If his love and care were being given to others, then she would no longer shower him with her tender loving care!
That was her principle!
Feeling both physically and mentally uncomfortable, Victoria began to hold herself back!
With the effects of the medicine on top of the physical and mental strain, Victoria soon fell asleep again.
Looking at her gaunt face the whole time, Trevor felt both physically and mentally tortured as well...Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The next morning, Alicia came to the hospital with a large bouquet of flowers. She didn't pay any attention to Trevor and just showed him a black face. Frederick patted Trevor on the shoulder trying to comfort him and glanced at the door. Then, the two went out. By the window at the end of the corridor, the two stood there, and Trevor did not know whether to laugh or cry as he spoke,
"Your woman is so hard to please. I was expecting her to throw in some good words for me!"
However, when she came, she didn't even acknowledge him!
"Do you know when they say you feel the same way as someone else? You should already be thankful if she doesn't say bad things about you!" After saying it jokingly, Frederick explained.
"I heard from Alicia after the Blanchard family was isolated, her classmates would take pleasure in her misfortune and would take advantage of her when things were bad. They even distanced themselves from her. Victoria was the only one who still treated her really well genuinely, and she helped her a lot before! A friend in need is a friend indeed. You can tell that she has a good character from this!"
To be frank, they shared a good
าวเ
relationship. Although Alicia did not ask for help easily, but they were reunited when she was short of money back then. Since she met and befriended Alicia again when she was in such a state, it could be seen Victoria was both affectionate and loyal! It was said that beautiful women were natural enemies, and men were considered their targets! However, it was obvious that she did not treat Alicia as her enemy!
Then, apart from their relationship, Alicia was also grateful towards her. Both of them were understanding!
It was understandable that Alicia would refuse to speak to him!
"I know! I will cherish her dearly!" How could he not know? She used to treat Anthony that way too! Also, it was her kindness that moved him in the first place!
Such a woman was too precious and hard to come by!
At that time, in the room, Alicia asked Victoria about her condition and chatted with her for a while. As Victoria couldn't figure out how Trevor was there, she asked her about it as well, and Alicia told her the truth. However, after some thought, she added a few words for fear that Victoria would feel uncomfortable.
"I have scolded him for you! Men are always like this. When they are negotiating businesses, they haggle over everything. At other times, they are just so careless! Frederick is the same too when I had appendicitis and it was so painful that I was kneeling on the ground. We were even arguing!" Taking her hand, Alicia comforted her.
"Vicki, I think he cares a lot about
you. He was unkempt and was in a rush when he arrived, and it seems that he ran all the way here. His stomach even grumbled loudly. ē Everything has its own process, and relationships need to built upon little by little. Men need to be trained slowly as well. Even if we are angels, we can't make sure that they would be loyal to us in an instant! I think as long as this man still has feelings for you, and if you also still like him even just a little, you can still fight for it!"
She held Victoria in her arms and rubbed her forehead against hers. "I like that we're sisters-in-law! Haha..."
Pushing her away, Victoria rolled her eyes at Alicia. "Don't act coquettishly with me. I am not your husband!"
Tilting her head, she showed Alicia a look that expressed her displeasure, but she couldn't help but smiled in the end.
"I know! You take care of your body first, and then we'll fuss about it when you're feeling better..."
As they spoke, joyful voices could be heard from the ward...
In the following days, Victoria was in the hospital for recuperation, and Trevor accompanied her almost all days. Even important meetings were held
in the small room on video calls. Whenever she was in need, he would immediately carry her to get checked.
It was said that hospitals were
where people's hearts got most
vulnerable. Although she only stayed
there for a few days, every time when she went for a checkup, she saw all kinds of tragic scenes around her. There were crying and nerve-wracking wailing, and her heart felt heavy. She could not help being moved, and Alicia's words would come back to her from time to time while at the same time, another similar scene appeared at the bottom of her heart.
Victoria was confused! She was so confused that she didn't know what to do! So, she chose to be silent, using her sick body to avoid any communication with Trevor.
That day, she was scheduled for another checkup, so Victoria washed up briefly and prepared for it. When she walked out, she saw Trevor on the phone again, and his lowered voice was full of anger as he was scolding someone. His gaze was fixed on her again. He had a tired look in his eyes...
