Chapter 145

After this scare, Victoria’s previously stable condition began to deteriorate again. Upon returning to the hospital, she started running a fever. However, her medical bills were unpaid, and after several reminders from the doctor to settle the fees, it was evident that his demeanor towards her was no longer as respectful as before.

Victoria was sensitive and fragile, and she cried loudly in the hospital.

With no help available, she desperately called Thea. “I kept my promise to you.”

After seeing this text message, Thea’s beautiful face revealed a hint of a determined smile.

“Nathan, Victoria, your doomsday is approaching.”

When Nathan finished recording the third episode, he received a call from the hospital. The doctor informed him that Victoria was critically ill and criticized him in a somewhat harsh tone. “Mr. Nathan, your wife’s medical expenses have been overdue for too long. You are not a person who lacks money, so please promptly pay the medical fees, otherwise the hospital won’t be able to proceed with the rescue properly.”

Nathan had never experienced the treatment of the poor before. When the doctor said a few words to him, his ears involuntarily turned red.

“Sorry, I was busy with work and forgot to make the payment,” he said wearily.

The doctor admonished him again, “Mr. Nanthan, I understand that you are busy with work. However, you are the patient’s family member, and you have a responsibility towards the patient. The patient has been frequently experiencing emotional instability lately, and even secretly leaving the hospital, causing her condition to fluctuate. I hope you, as a family member, take this seriously. Do not blame the hospital for negligence after any unfavorable outcomes.”

Nathan dragged his exhausted body to the hospital.

I haven’t seen Victoria for nearly twenty days, and when I saw her again, she was as thin as a piece of paper. Her whole body seemed skeletal, and she looked like a ghost. Her once attractive facial features now had sunken eye sockets and deep hollows on both sides of her cheeks. Her skin was rough and waxen yellow, making her look like a forty–year–old woman.

Nathan stood still, and in that moment, his mind inexplicably went blank. He couldn’t figure out his feelings towards Victoria. Was it pity and sympathy, or a hint of disdain?

Victoria saw him and tears flowed before she could speak. “Nathan, you have finally come back.”

The heartfelt call awakened Nathan’s love for Victoria completely. Nathan dropped his luggage and hurriedly ran over, tightly holding Victoria’s hand, feeling extremely guilty. “Victoria, what happened to you?”

Victoria’s eyes flashed with anger. “It’s all Thea’s fault. It was her who ruined me like this. She framed my dad and sent him to
