Chapter 770
She would've given them a scolding and a warning if they were strangers. "What the f*ck! Why do they have such an awkward relationship with each other? Won't I become an ignorant woman if I cause trouble?" She thought.
Victoria was extremely annoyed. As soon as she turned around, Trevor grabbed her wrist and said, "Vicky, she's an orphan and she's seriously ill. I'm just going there to make arrangements for her to recuperate..."
It was just as she thought!
Victoria swatted his hand off hers.
"I'm not feeling well! I'm going to die of sickness! If I die, won't I be saving you the trouble of caring for me? Why did you come back? Am I stopping you? If you want to leave, then go. You don't have to explain this to me!" She yelled.
She was so angry that her stomach hurt. She unconsciously covered her stomach with her hands.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'm not going anymore! I'm not going anymore..." Trevor comforted her.
Victoria pushed him away as she spat angrily, "I'm fine! Leave as soon as you can! I don't need your sympathy..."
With a wave of her hand, Victoria went out the door and ran back to the room. She took out her suitcase and said to herself, "I'm really losing my mind over people like you."
Her parents weren't by her side and her illness hadn't even completely been cured yet!
"B*stard! If you care so much about her, then leave!" Victoria muttered as she changed out of her clothes.
Trevor had answered the phone before he walked through the door. He saw Victoria with a change of clothes as she exited the bathroom. "What are you doing?"
"Going on a business trip! Are you the only one allowed to go on business trips? Can't I go?" Victoria yelled back.
"Vicky, stop being so childish. Your health..."
Trevor was deeply distressed as he held her hand. The doctor had been calling him non-stop. Selena was also angry at him, and she...
"If I had known it earlier, I would've already denied it earlier!" She thought.
"Don't worry, you're not worth me dying for!" She said to him.
She swatted his hand away, and picked up her bag in one swift move. Trevor's face turned grim behind her. "Vicky!" He shouted at her.
He didn't want to lie to her to prevent any more problems from arising. Did she really have to start a fuss?
"Why don't we go together?" He suggested.
Selena's life was also in danger. Trevor was indeed in a dilemma. After all, they did grow up together while she's also a blood-related relative of his. However, his suggestion only angered Victoria even more.
"What's wrong? Wasn't it enough for him to take care of her by himself? Did he want her to serve the mistress with him? Is he going to use her as a backup plan and have a baby tomorrow when she's not in good health? Was she going to be their child's mother?" She thought to herself. Was this something she owed him?
What a bloody daydream! Even if she loved him that much, she didn't want him to love her on account of another! She'd rather have her arm cut off than beg for mercy!
Victoria's eyes were fuming with anger as she pushed him away. "I don't have the inclination to self-harm by taking care of others!"
This was none of her business! And it wasn't even her fault! Was Selena that bored?
At that moment, Victoria's mind felt like a chaotic mess. She felt like an obstacle in their marriage, rendering her powerless.
He sympathized with Selena's illness, and how no one was around to take care of her. Who would care about Victoria's helplessness then? As expected, no men were reliable!
If he was using her as a shield, then he didn't need to use her as a means to fulfill their marriage obligations!Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
She put on her shoes and waved her hand before striding out the door.
Trevor's head was going to explode. His head pounded so hard, he had to reach upwards to massage his temples; otherwise, he would completely lose it. This was the first quarrel they had that gave him a headache!
Soon, he heard the sound of the car's engine.
Trevor didn't go after her knowing that she was angry.
Later on, the doctor called again as he required Trevor to decide on a treatment plan. Even if he wanted to sever their relationship, he couldn't ignore her when it was a matter of life and death!
Trevor believed that he needed to keep her alive first, and to discuss this matter as soon as the crisis was over. He told his family to take good care of Victoria and to contact him in case of an emergency. Alas, Trevor still left.
On the other hand, after heading out, Victoria still felt the anger rising in her chest. She drove her car up a hill, circled back a few more times before finally driving to her own little place in Green Lux Garden. After she switched her phone off, she went to sleep with a pillow over her head.
As soon as Trevor arrived at the airport, he rang her once more but was annoyed when he found that his call instantly went to voicemail. All he could do was send her a text.
"I'm not trying to make you angry on purpose, nor am I worried about her. Her life is hanging by a thread at this very moment, so I assure you, this is the last time. Whether the surgery is a success or not, there won't be a next time..." Trevor wrote.
Whether he could save her life or not, he would find out soon enough!
Trevor knew that this was not a long-term solution. Therefore, he decided that no matter what the result was, he would make a thorough arrangement and put an end to this!
If he kept this up, he would inevitably be worn out physically and mentally!
He knew that his heart couldn't be split in two, let alone be used simultaneously. He couldn't care for them both at the same time. He almost lost her when they simultaneously fell ill!
The fear and frustration in his heart never went away. However, at the same time, he was also afraid that the same guilt would haunt him when it came to Selena, causing him to live a life of perpetual unease.
Therefore, this time, he would arrange everything right down to the tee!
He wanted to live his own life with Victoria, a life without burden for the rest of his days! However, before he could do that, he needed to properly take care of things first, including events that might happen in the future. He only hoped that God would pity Victoria and help her stay strong in getting through this!
Trevor sent her one last message before he turned his phone off and boarded the plane.
"Give me a few days, and I'll never make you mad over her again. I won't go back there ever again! Wait for me..." He wrote.
She wasn't sure whether it was
because she had developed a bit of a lazy streak, or was it because of
the medicine she took daily whiche
contained sleep-inducing substances in it that she could fall asleep in a blink of an eye. When she
opened her eyes again, the sun was already setting!
As she stretched her body, she mentally scolded herself, "You're turning into an idiot from all that sleeping! If this continues, you'll be disabled even after recovering from your illness!"
As she raised her hand to pinch her cheek, she silently encouraged herself. "You can't be lazy anymore! Come on, move! No one's around to take care of you, so are you just going to sit and eat until you die?"
As if suddenly remembering something, a shade of loneliness made its way to her eyes. She shook her head and quickly turned her mobile phone on. With a flip of her hand, the fiery anger lit up in her chest once more. "A few days? A few days! Trevor, you big liar, you!" She bellowed in her mind. "Didn't you say... that you won't go?" She thought to herself.
Even though she was still angry, she felt more disappointed than anything else. She put her phone away, too lazy to check it once more. She then closed her eyes and tried to suppress the flurry of emotions in her heart.
"This is good. It's better to learn about this now than have it kept in the dark from me!" She muttered to herself.
As she unconsciously held the ring on her finger, Victoria's felt as if she had been stabbed by a knife. "Was her love destined to fail? Or was this actually the true colors of love - short term sweetness with a dash of excruciating pain?" She thought.
And to think that she had actually thought about living the rest of her life with him!
