Chapter 805
Back in the office, Trevor boiled some water for her. As this was only his temporary residence, there were only some simple showering and disposable supplies, and only two sets of clothes.
After everything was ready, Trevor led her through the bathroom door. "Take a quick shower and change out of your clothes!"
As he turned around, Victoria suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Hubby, I'm scared!"
As he looked inside, Trevor could clearly see the fear on her face and worry from the corner of her eyes. Her death grip on him was also a strong indication of how scared she was.
Patting her little hands, Trevor gave her a firm, reassuring squeeze. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for you by the door, or would you like me to accompany you in the shower?"
After thinking for a while, Victoria realized that that wasn't a good idea. She gulped and shook her head.
"Don't be scared, alright? Call out to me if you are, I'll come right away!" Trevor said.
"Okay..." Victoria answered weakly.
Her body was so dirty, so Victoria quickly turned around and walked inside. She only closed the door instead of locking it. Before taking off her clothes, she also shouted out to him tentatively.
"Hubby, you can't go too far, okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm right here! I'm in the office. I'll make you a cup of coffee to keep you warm!" Trevor replied.
Hearing the sound of running water, Trevor walked out and went to make coffee. Then, he picked up his cell phone and sent a message to Holger. "Investigate this thoroughly..."All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Soon, Victoria emerged from the bathroom. Seeing that she walked in a hurry and was out of breath, Trevor approached her quickly and tightened her bathrobe a little before taking over the towel in her hand.
He looked at her with remorse and sympathy. "It's okay, everything's alright now. It may be just a prank that was meant for someone else. You know how competitive this industry gets. Beautiful women are always envied by others. Conflicts are unavoidable, and of course, some will even retaliate in private!"
"Is that so? " Victoria muttered.
She looked more relieved hearing that, but she was also a little confused. She couldn't help feel that the whole situation was just a little odd, although what Trevor said did make sense.
She had thought about it thoroughly and couldn't think of anyone who had such deep hatred for her!
"You're right! I didn't stop someone from making money, or rob someone else's husband. Why would a woman target me?" Victoria's mind was a mess.
"A woman?" Trevor suddenly thought of what had happened in the Norwich City Hotel again. Did she also think that a woman was behind that? Was it really because of his love affair?
No! That was impossible! He did not have any long-term girlfriend in all these years, and he could count on one hand the number of women he touched. How could there be a woman who was against her?
Shocked by his surprised and puzzled tone, Victoria nodded in further confusion. "What's so strange about that? A man couldn't have followed me into the women's washroom and locked me inside, right?"
Fortunately, it was a woman! If it were a man, she might have to die all over again!
She didn't know why she was so unlucky. Why didn't anyone go to the washroom after such a long time? Why didn't anyone hear her shouting
either?
Unconsciously, Victoria grabbed her chest and frowned in distress!
Trevor shared the same sentiment. His breathing turned heavier as he hugged her tightly, feeling relieved and thankful that he had found her. It looked like he had to put something on her in the future!
Soon, the secretary brought in the clothes he had asked for. They did not stay long. After Victoria got changed, they went home together. When they reached home, Victoria went straight into the bathroom to take another bath without eating.
When Trevor came in with food, he saw that she was still massaging her arm.
"What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Trevor asked.
"Hubby, do I smell?" Victoria raised her arm to his nose, and her nose was wrinkled into a ball. No matter how hard she scrubbed and how much she washed herself, her skin still smelled like rotten food. It was so uncomfortable to be in her own skin.
Before Trevor could say anything, she had already retracted her arm and said, "Forget it, I'll go and wash again!"
"Vicky..." Trevor started.
Trevor hugged her from behind and sighed. "You're very clean and you smell nice. Stop being like this. Your skin is all wrinkled up! Why don't you eat something first?"
Victoria shook her head, looking upset as she said, "I don't have any appetite..."
How could she eat anything? Her senses were overwhelmed by that filthy smell. Every little thing she touched was thought to be a kind of contamination, yet he did not seem to mind!
Trevor caught sight of her rubbing her hands inadvertently. He suddenly understood what she was thinking. "I'll feed you!"
She was pretty vain when it came to her looks and appearance. She would rather go running after eating than go on a diet. It was a serious problem for a foodie to lose her appetite!
Trevor took her to the sofa and fed
l
her slowly. Fortunately, she liked to eat food with fillings, and the kitchen always prepared all kinds of dumplings and buns. After she finished two vegetarian dumplings, Victoria shook her head again. Trevor did not force her to eat anymore, but handed her some warm soy milk instead.
"Drink a little to warm your body up!"
After drinking and keeping him company as he finished their food, Victoria asked slowly, "I wonder if there is an 84 disinfectant for skin?"
She even wanted to peel off a layer of her skin! She must be feeling quite terrible!
"Yes! Of course! I'm sure there is!" Trevor said.
Knowing that her reaction was mostly due to psychological reasons, her words gave Trevor a hint. He got up and picked up the phone.
"I'll ask Carson to prescribe some for you. It will be here in a minute!" Holding the phone, Trevor walked aside and dialed for Carson.
"Hello, it's me! Help me prescribe a bottle of body shampoo with skin disinfectant, something with the effect of 84 disinfectant. I want it to be highly concentrated and can deliver a clean, effective disinfection! Vicky wants to disinfect, I want it tonight!"
His voice was loud and he didn't try to cover it up. Behind him, Victoria stood up and was still confused. How could there be such a thing? Could it be alcohol?
She didn't dare to wipe her whole body with that thing. If she didn't use it carefully enough, she might burn herself!
After hearing this, Carson jumped up from his chair and exclaimed into the phone, "What? You've got to be kidding!" "Right then, half an hour. Bye!" Trevor said.
Before Carson could react, the phone screen had already turned dark. He looked at the phone and pouted, "What the heck! What is going on?"
Afraid that he would call back, Trevor quickly muted his phone. He did not understand him at all! Didn't he know to play along and to just send him a bottle of shower gel?
As Victoria was still in the room, Trevor put away his mobile phone and said, "Go heat up some water, and then take a bath when it's delivered!"
Her last wash!
Victoria walked over to the bathroom again, head filled with doubt.
On the other end, Carson had already picked up his phone, and dialed for Holger. After asking about the situation, he immediately understood just what Trevor's phone call implied.
