Departure with a Belly Chapter 97
Chapter 97
At the hospital, Summer handled all the hospital registration and payment
while Victoria sat in the corner, curled up in discomfort. When Summer
was done with everything, she went to check on Victoria and became
even more concerned upon seeing her pained expression.
“Are you okay? Why do you look like you’re sick instead of just pregnant?”
she asked, reaching out to feel her forehead.
Once she confirmed that Victoria didn’t have a fever, only then did she
breathe a sigh of relief. If she has no fever, the discomfort is likely just from
morning sickness and not other issues.
Meanwhile, Victoria subconsciously rubbed her palm and chuckled softly.
“I’m not feeling very sick actually, just sleepy and not wanting to eat
anything when I’m nauseous. I just want to keep eating sweet things.”
“Sweet things? Sweets are not good for you, even on normal days, let

alone during pregnancy. Let’s ask the doctor later,” Summer suggested.
“Okay.” Victoria nodded in agreement.
As Summer watched Victoria agree to everything she suggested, she felt
that she was so obedient that she was almost too cute, like time had
turned back to when they were young. Although she found Victoria
adorable, she also felt sorry for her. She could sense the loneliness behind
her pretend happiness and the distress behind her obedience. She must
have kept these feelings buried deep in her heart. Alaric should be by her
side doing all these things with her, but now… he’s probably at the hospital
with another woman.

At the thought of this, a lump formed in her throat, and she couldn’t help
but reach out and rub Victoria’s head. “Don’t worry. I will always be here for
you, no matter what happens. F*ck you, Alaric. You better not regret it
later! She cursed Alaric a hundred times in her mind.

The two spent nearly an hour at the hospital for the checkup, and by the
time they left, it was already noon. Victoria’s complexion looked even
worse after she spent the entire morning at the hospital.
As they left the hospital, Summer supported her and let her lean on her
body. “Thank goodness you’re not sick. Otherwise, I would have been so
worried about you. Let’s find a place to eat something first.”
“Okay. Let’s have some dessert.” Victoria looked listless.
Hearing that, Summer was speechless for a while and then said, “We can
go, but did you not hear what the doctor said? Even if you like it, you can’t
eat too much. Otherwise, it may affect some of the indicators later on.”
At her reminder, Victoria helplessly hung her gaze. “I know, but I really want
to eat.”
When Summer saw her like this, she could only sigh inwardly. “Okay. I’ll
make an exception today and eat with you, but you have to be careful

later on. Obey the doctor’s instructions, understand?”
“I know.” Her voice was soft, like a child’s, which was both adorable and
heartwarming.

However, Summer still pressed her lips tightly together, her gaze filled with
worry.
Throughout this period, every time they met, Victoria seemed to be able to
control her emotions very well. Yet, Summer knew deep down that some
emotions, even if they weren’t expressed, didn’t mean they didn’t exist.
Just like the pain in Victoria’s heart, it wouldn’t disappear just because she
didn’t express it.
She knew that those emotions would only pile up somewhere in Victoria’s
heart and hurt her even more. In the end, it would eventually explode one
day. She couldn’t predict when that day would come, but as she glanced
at Victoria, she guessed that even Victoria didn’t know when her emotions

would erupt.
At this point, she only hoped that Victoria could leave this place and leave
Alaric before her heart shattered.
So, during their meal, she couldn’t hold her curiosity in. “Although I know it’s
not a good time to ask you this now, I still want to ask when is Old Mrs.
Cadogan’s surgery? She’s living at home now instead of the nursing home,
right?”
“Yes.” Victoria didn’t mind Summer asking her. After all, she was her only
good friend, and she had nothing to hide from her. “She’s staying at home.
for care, but the exact time for the surgery hasn’t been set. Because
Grandma fainted last time, the doctor believes that her mentality needs
to be adjusted, so they hope to give her a little more time to avoid causing
secondary stress.”
Upon hearing this, Summer couldn’t help but sigh. “So, this matter will be

delayed?”
“Yes. Grandma’s condition is important, so we have no other choice.”
Summer wasn’t Victoria, so she couldn’t think from her perspective and
could only think from her own. This was why Victoria was the only person
who mattered to her in this matter.
Just then, she whispered, “I know Old Mrs. Cadogan’s condition is
important, but your matter is also important.”
She pursed her lips and finally expressed her concern. “I’m worried that the
people on Claudia’s side will harm you.”
After all, what happened last night showed that the people on Claudia’s
side had great resentment toward Victoria. Come to think of it now. It’s
also quite understandable for them to have great resentment toward
Victoria. After all, Victoria has been by Alaric’s side for two years, but so
what if they have great resentment?

In her eyes, these emotions were simply unreasonable. Victoria isn’t the
7/9
mistress here, and Claudia isn’t exactly in a relationship with Alaric, so who
are they to have resentment toward Victoria? The more she thought
about it, the angrier she became, and her eating movements became
rough.
Sitting across from her, Victoria noticed her movements and smiled
helplessly. “Alright, Summer, I know you care about me, but rest assured, I
know what to do.”
“Hmph, you know what to do, but that doesn’t mean others do. Not
everyone has established good values and qualities. Otherwise, such a
thing wouldn’t have happened last night. Speaking of last night, how is
Claudia? She fell so severely. Did she get disfigured?”
When this matter was brought up, Victoria’s eyes slightly narrowed, and
her tone became lighter. “Not to the extent of getting disfigured, but I
heard she was seriously injured, and it might leave a scar.”

“A scar?” Although Summer knew it was quite immoral, she still couldn’t
help but laugh. “If she leaves a scar on her face, wouldn’t that be hideous?
Didn’t she bring this on herself? She must be regretting it now.”
B/0
She originally had a sense of injustice for her bestie, but after hearing that
Claudia would be left with a scar, she felt much better. It turns out that
karma is real. So what if she tries to shift the blame onto Victoria? She has
already ruined her face. No matter how many people she tries to frame,
she can never go back to how her face looked.
“But do you think she will hold a grudge against you and continue to frame
you
because of this?” She became more and more worried for Victoria as
she thought about it. “No, actually, I think she will definitely hold a grudge
against you. Even if she doesn’t, the people around her might, and what if
she tries to use other people to harm you?”
Just thinking about it made her break out in a cold sweat.
