As soon as he confirmed that it was her car, Trevor rushed into the hospital.
"Hi, did you happen to see a beautiful young lady? She's wearing a beige knitted sweater and jeans," He asked the nurse on duty.
As he gesticulated and described Victoria, Trevor thought of something. He took out his mobile phone to show her a photo of Victoria. Before he could, the nurse spoke.
"Oh, you're looking for Miss Atlas! She's on the twelfth floor in the inpatient department. She's with her boyfriend right now. You can go up and ask around!" After she finished speaking, the nurse walked away in a hurry with the documents in hand. She couldn't help but look back at him twice, just to find him looking as if he had been struck by something. Trevor's mind buzzed for quite a while. What? Boy... boyfriend? Frustrated and confused, Trevor then rushed up to the twelfth floor. As he walked to the other side of the elevator, he suddenly heard a familiar female voice.
"Seven, you're looking to die, aren't you?" The voice sounded.
Then, a young but unfamiliar male voice replied, "Darling, please don't act like this." Trevor strode over quickly. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Victoria standing by the bedside with an empty bowl in her hand. A young man on the bed was holding her hand.
"Stay the night..." the young man said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen he heard that, Trevor immediately lit up in rage. He walked over angrily and pulled Victoria aside before he punched the young man.
"Ouch!" The young man shouted.
With a cry, the man rolled to the other side of the bed. He yelled again in agony, "Who are you? Where did this madman cfrom?" He was hanging off the edge of the bed and was about to tip over and hit his head on the ground. Victoria was momentarily stunned at what had happened.
"Darling, quick..." The man instinctively called out to Victoria as he pulled himself to a stand. His words sent Trevor into a fit of fury yet again.
"Call her that one more time!" Trevor threatened.
Trevor walked past the bed and raised his foot to kick the young man, who then rolled over and almost rolled himself under the bed. At that moment, Victoria cto her senses and rushed over to embrace Trevor. "What are you doing? Stop! Alaric broke his arm!" Victoria cried.
As she was trying to hold him back, Trevor's face instantly darkened. "You're still protecting him?" He asked in disbelief.
He shoved Victoria away and said angrily, "How dare you touch my woman? You're f*cking dead!" Victoria immediately turned around and hugged him by the waist once more. "What are you talking about? He's my brother!" Victoria cried.
"What?" Trevor gasped.
His eyes widened in shock, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.
Alaric had already moved to the other side of the room as he struggled to stand up. His eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Wow! What a handsman!" Upon seeing Alaric's reaction, Victoria instantly explained worriedly, "He's my husband! Stay away from him and go back to bed!" Victoria then grabbed Trevor by the sleeve and pushed him out of the room. She followed him out, face cold and slightly out of breath.
"What are you doing here? Did someone get sick again and need your care?" Victoria asked, her voice emotionless.
Why wasn't he in the office during the day? He must've been goofing around! Victoria was obviously being sarcastic. However, Trevor only got the memo after a long time. He noticed that she not only had becplumper in the few days they hadn't seen each other, but she also looked really good, with an air of something different about her. At that moment, Trevor felt very dejected. She actually gained weight when he wasn't by her side? Didn't this mean that she wasn't doing well when they were together? Trevor's mind descended into a mess. His gaze was fixed on the ward as he asked, "Who is he? I didn't know you had a younger brother." "He's Alaric Lewis, he's the younger brother of my old neighbor. We grew up together, so I've always treated him like my own brother! He was here for business but he met with accident. I've been caring for him these past couple of days," Victoria explained.
"I'm busy, so I'll head in first!" Victoria said after she finished explaining.
Trevor grabbed her wrist and asked unhappily, "You're taking care of a man?" How could this be? That d*mn man even called her Darling.
As he thought about this, he furrowed his brows in anger while Victoria looked as calm as ever. Her voice showed no signs of emotions. "And what's wrong with that? He only has an external wound and a fever. He'll only be here for a few days!" She huffed. He wasn't like his sick cousin who was more often sick than not.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVictoria shook off his hand and was ready to return to the ward. Trevor reached out to hug her. "Are you still angry at me?"
Even the nurse knew her and thought that he was her boyfriend, which meant that this definitely wasn't her first day here! Did this mean that she had been back for a while but she En just never went home? Had she always been here at the hospital? "Whatever it is, he's a man. Do you think it's appropriate for you to care for him? Go hwithand I'll find someone to take care of him for you!" Trevor ordered. As soon as Trevor spoke, Victoria got annoyed. "You don't have to worry about this! I can take care of him! There's nothing inappropriate about this. I already said that he's my younger brother!" She argued.
If he could take care of his cousin, why couldn't she take care of her friend? Victoria wasn't going to let him get his way.
"Victoria! You just won't back down from an argument with me, can you? He's a man!" Trevor yelled back as he tightened his grip on her clearlym angry at the situation. "Please don't tellthat you've been with him for the past few days!" Trevor bellowed. He couldn't help feeling like everything was wrong, even though they weren't. However, at the moment, Victoria denied nothing which didn't help the situation at all.
Though she went on a trip alone, she would also occasionally call Aunt McGowan to ask about how things were. She thought about how he had spent his twith another woman all this while and that if she hadn't gone on the trip, she would've been alhalone. What was the difference between a widowed marriage and being single? No, there was certainly a difference! If she was single, no one would anger her. Traveling alone could also be a very happy occasion! However, she got upset whenever she thought of Trevor. Thus, she only pursed her lips and remained silent. It was her freedom to be with anyone she chose. Furthermore, it wasn't like she had cheated on him just yet.
Trevor immediately reached for her jaw and held it in anger. "All this just because I went to Korea? Haven't I already explained it to you?" He had gone to Korea to end a past relationship; he wasn't there to date! At this moment, his suppressed emotions had reached their peak and were about to burst right out of him.
"Vicky, there are sthings that I can do, but you can't! I hate women who cross the line! Are you asking for a breakup? Fine, I'll do what you want! have plenty of beautiful and obedient women anyway! I can't be bothered with you!" He yelled, letting out all his anger.
Trevor then turned around and angrily strode away.
What?
Victoria clenched her fists tightly behind him. She felt her heart being torn open, and there was a d*mning itch in her nose as she forced back her tears! She stood there, motionless, for what felt like forever. It was as if she couldn't move at all.
"Why don't you run after him? Since you care so much about him, why don't you explain yourself?" She thought to herself. This was clearly a trivial matter, and based on how Trevor acted, it was evident that he cared deeply about her!
