Departure with a Belly Chapter 506
Chapter 5 0 6 Disappointing You
She got into a big fight with Bane because she was worried he might not treat Alaric. He was severely injured, and if he didn’t get treated, he might die or get afflicted with serious. complications. Eventually, she convinced Bane into letting him leave.
Just then, she was reminded of the promise she made to Bane. He only let Alaric go because she offered to stay. And now I’m gone before I even explained things to him. Bane would be waiting for nothing, and she had no idea what he was going to talk about. She had a feeling he would say goodbye, but that was just a hunch. Victoria asked, “How long have I been out?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“Just curious.”
“A day.”
She pursed her lips. I wonder what had happened when I was out.
She fell into silence. Alaric had no idea what was on her mind, but he knew she was not in the best of moods. “What’s wrong?”
She looked at him and shook her head. “It’s nothing.” That was what she said, but then she fell right back into her pensive thoughts.
The man asked, “So, do you remember how you lost
your
memories?”
The question confused Victoria, and it was then she realized that she hadn’t even wondered how she had lost her memories after losing him. “I… am not sure, but when I woke up, my head felt like it was injured.”
Alaric looked at her forehead, but there was no wound or scar, so he checked the back of her head. “So, you hurt the back of your head?”
“I think so.”
He checked on it for a moment and fell silent. “You’re getting that checkup. I need to know you’re
fine.”
Right then, Victoria was reminded of something else. “Hey, I know you want me to get checked, but what about you?”
“What about me?”
“If I’m right, the whole reason I went there was to make a deal with him. I stayed so you could leave.”
Alaric frowned, and he cursed himself for relenting back then. If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have gotten himself hurt or knocked out. If he weren’t knocked out, she wouldn’t offer herself up so he could leave.
He failed as a man; he failed to protect his lover and had her put herself in danger.
“Ethan told me you were deep in a coma when you left. Badly hurt, too.” That was the meat of the conversation “So, when did you wake up? Have you sustained any more wounds other than the one on your chest?”
Alaric said nothing.
“Alaric?”
Alaric looked at her. “Not too long ago.”
“And you came straight to me?”
He didn’t want to tell her, but it was impossible to hide, so he confessed, “Yes.” When he woke up and found out he was back in his home nation, he told Terrance to arrange a flight. And thanks to his father’s help, he managed to save Victoria.
The confession made Victoria frown. Ethan wouldn’t lie to her. If Alaric had gone back to their home nation and woken up there, then he must have been badly injured, or he wouldn’t have been knocked out for so long. And he came back right after he woke up. No wonder his wound had torn open when he took me away.
“Are you sure you’re alright?” she asked. “Did the doctor permit you to pull this stunt right after your recovery?”
Delighted by her concern toward him, Alaric smiled. “Of course, I’d asked for his permission before
I came.”
Victoria stopped for a moment, looking speechless. “I have amnesia but am not dem ented.”
Dam mit, the man cursed in silence.
“You think you can lie to me? Is this a joke to you?”
Alaric got a little nervous. “Are you mad?”
Victoria turned her head away.
“I’m sorry. I just don’t want you to get worried. D-Did I let you
down?”
He sounded so nervous that it was as if he would kill himself if she didn’t forgive him. She couldn’t possibly ignore him if he was in that state. Even though he neglected himself, he only did it to save her, so she had no right to be angry at him. Slowly, she turned around. “You should know why I’m angry.”
“I know.” Delight flickered in Alaric’s eyes, and he huddled closer to her. He was going to hold her in his embrace again like they were lovers.
Victoria’s heart ski pped a beat, but she didn’t refuse his gesture. She leaned against his chest and relinquished all tension.
“I know you’re mad because you’re worried about me.”
His presence enveloped her the moment she got near, and she felt secure in his embrace. Her hand slithered onto his shoulder and hung on his neck.
Something stirred within Alaric, and he looked down, leaning closer. Sounds of footsteps echoed from the entrance, and Victoria stiffened up. She let the man go and pushed him away before going
back to bed.
Alaric rooted to his spot, still leaning over.
Terrance came in and looked confused by the scene. “What are you doing sitting like that, sir? Is Miss Selwyn awake?”
Victoria coughed as if on cue, and she slowly raised her hand. “Calling for me?”
“Oh, you’re awake.” Terrance was delighted to see her awake. “And I was wondering when you’d wake up. Are you feeling all right? The doctor said you should tell us if you’re feeling unwell. And then you’ll be going for a checkup.”
“I’m fine.”
Alaric was still in the same position, and he looked at Terrance. “Tell the doctor her memories are fumbled up. See if he has any treatment for it.”
Terrance’s delight vanished in that instant, and he stood, petrified. “What happened to her memories?” He stared at Alaric in shock. The look on Alaric’s face told him what he needed to know, but he still turned to Victoria for confirmation. “D-Do you remember who I am, Miss Selwyn?”
Much to his disbelief, the lady slowly shook her head.
Seeing that, Terrance cursed within his heart, What the hell, Bane! It hasn’t even been days, and Miss Selwyn’s lost her memories?
