Departure with a Belly Chapter 337

Chapter 337

The little one blew air against her forehead.

Though the gauze-wrapped wound on Victoria’s forehead seemed unaffected, the

considerate gesture warmed her heart. She felt her mood lighten, and a faint smile

appeared on her pale lips.

“Mommy, are you feeling better?”

Victoria replied in a gentle voice, “Mm. Much better. Thank you, Nicole.”

Nicole immediately smiled innocently and said, “No need to thank me. It’s good as long

as Mommy doesn’t feel any pain.”

At that moment, the doctor arrived. Alaric followed behind him and walked in. When he

caught sight of Nicole by the bedside, he wasted no time in reaching out to scoop her

up into his arms, while also leading Nathan away.

Subsequently, the doctor and nurse examined Victoria and inquired about her

condition.

Later, the doctor confirmed that her speech was coherent, proving that there weren’t

any lasting effects. So, he nodded at Alaric, confirming that everything was fine.

“Based on her condition, there shouldn’t be any major issues. We’ll order a CT scan to

be conducted later. If it shows no problems, she can be discharged.”

Alaric, who was still holding onto Nicole, nodded. “Thank you.”

Afterward, Alaric borrowed a wheelchair and prepared to take Victoria for the CT scan.

Victoria blinked and looked at Alaric in speechless disbelief, reminding him, “I injured

my forehead, not my legs.”

“I know,” Alaric responded and then walked over to carry her up, placing her in the

wheelchair.

“It’s precisely because the injury is on your forehead that we need the wheelchair.”

Victoria once again had no idea what to say to this man.

Before they left, Alaric instructed the two children to stay in the hospital room and not

wander around. However, after he thought it over, he was still worried about them, so

he asked them to tag along.

Since they had to wait for the results when Victoria was done with the CT scan, Alaric

escorted her back to the hospital room.

As soon as they reached the corridor in front of the room, they saw two familiar figures

standing by the door and peering in.

The instant Victoria saw those two individuals, her expression instantly turned cold.

She was about to say something when she heard Alaric. “I will handle it.”

Thus, the words that were about to leave Victoria’s lips got swallowed back.

They were in the hospital now; besides, the children were also there. If anything

happened…

Finally, she lowered her gaze and coldly stated, “This is your own matter, to begin with.”

Meanwhile, Claudia and West had already spotted them. When Claudia saw them

walking together, her expression initially stiffened, but she quickly composed herself.

Claudia approached Victoria and called out affectionately, “Victoria, how are you? Are

you alright?”

When she was forced to face Claudia’s hypocritical concern, her lips tugged into a

plastic smile as she replied, “Thanks for your concern, I’m fine.”

A slight stiffness appeared in Claudia’s smile. Before she could say anything else, Alaric

had already pushed Victoria into the hospital room along with the two children.

“Go in.”

As he escorted the three of them into the room, his tall figure blocked the entrance,

preventing anyone from entering.

Only when he ensured that they were all in that Alaric took a step back and closed the

door to the room.

Claudia and West watched him in silence.

This gesture instantly made Claudia, who was already in despair, look even more

dejected. “Al, what do you mean by this? We just wanted to visit her.”

Alaric’s voice was icy as he replied, “Well, you’ve already seen her. You can leave.”

Claudia bit her lower lip upon hearing his dismissal, her eyes slowly reddening.

On the other hand, West, who had already convinced himself to come and apologize,

became furious at Alaric’s attitude. “Alaric, what do you mean by this? We’ve been

friends for so many years. It’s one thing if you’re rude to me, but do you have to treat

Claudia this way too? Let me tell you, even if what happened last night was my fault

and I shouldn’t have acted first, you also have to take responsibility. Victoria should

apologize to Claudia!”

Alaric’s gaze suddenly turned cold and fierce, like a sharp sword aimed at his face.

“What did you say? Say it again?”

His sharp gaze made West feel a bit scared, but when he looked at Claudia with her red

eyes, he gathered his courage. “Did I say something wrong? You and Victoria have been

divorced for so long. It’s always been Claudia by your side all these years. Now that

Victoria is back, how can she easily replace Claudia?”

“West, please stop…” Claudia held onto West’s hand while speaking pitifully, “It’s not a

problem for me. Victoria has suffered such a serious injury, and it’s only right for Al to

take care of her.”

“Claudia, what nonsense are you talking about? What does Victoria’s injury have to do

with Alaric? What do you mean by saying it’s only right for him to take care of her?

Victoria was the shameless one from the beginning…”

Bang! Before West could finish his words, his chin was met with a punch.

Not giving him time to react, another punch quickly followed, causing Claudia to let out

a startled cry. And as soon as West regained his senses, he immediately tried to

engage in a fight with Alaric.

Unfortunately, he was no match at all. After a few exchanges, his hand was pinned

behind his back and he was pressed against the cold, hard ground.

“Al, stop fighting, don’t be mad. If you’re not happy with us being here, we’ll leave.”

Claudia ran over, grabbing Alaric’s arm and crying as she tried to pull him away.

“West Finn, I’m warning you, my matters are not for anyone to meddle in. If you like

Claudia, go after her openly instead of using this excuse to interfere in other people’s

lives, even resorting to violence against women. Today, I spared you for Victoria’s sake,

otherwise…”

The grip on West tightened, causing him to wince in pain, his forehead covered in cold

sweat.

Nonetheless, Alaric didn’t immediately retract his hand; instead, he coldly stared at him

and continued, “If this happens again, I won’t let you off the hook this easily.”

With that, he finally released his grip and rose to his feet.

Although Alaric had thrown a few good punches, he remained as unruffled and tidy as

before, while West lay in a disheveled state on the ground, making Alaric appear

exceptionally sharp and handsome. The sight of this caused Claudia’s heart to flutter even more. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t bear to let go of such an

outstanding man.

After Alaric finished giving out his warning, he didn’t even spare her a glance before

walking away, leaving her with no choice but to grit her teeth and chase after him.

“Al, I’m sorry about what happened yesterday, but today I’m genuinely worried about

Victoria. I just wanted to know how she’s doing, I… I didn’t mean anything else.”

Unfortunately, his gaze remained icy. “Didn’t you just see it earlier?”

“What?”

In response to her question, Alaric remained silent for a while, then slightly parted his

thin lips, saying, “Claudia.”

His voice was calm, his expression indifferent, giving Claudia an ominous premonition.

She wanted to escape from hearing what she was reluctant to hear, but Alaric’s voice

resounded clearly throughout the hallway, “I made it clear to you years ago, but it seems

you’ve never really taken my words to heart.”

“I… I was just…”

“Claudia, the most shameless thing for adults is to pester someone else.”

Claudia bit her lower lip upon hearing such a brutal remark, her eyes reddening. “And

what about you? You said the most shameless thing to adults is to pester someone

else, so what are you doing now? Haven’t you been pestering Victoria?”
