Chapter 31

Vincent said, “You’ve survived two years in prison, haven’t you? Just hang in there for a little longer, okay?”

“Do you not believe me?” Vincent raised a hand. “I swear, if I don’t keep my word, I’ll get run over by a car when I go out, and get struck by lightning on rainy days. I will not die a proper death!”

She took a deep breath and said shakily, “Do you know how embarrassing it is to kneel on the ground while apologizing to others? Do you know… How terrible I felt when Dad ran away at the sight of me?”

In prison, she kept telling herself that everything would be better when she was released.

However, when the time came, she realized how cruel reality was.

Just then, the door to the ward opened with a click, allowing Christian to walk in with a half-smile.

His usually perfect suit was a little messy, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, perhaps because of the higher temperature in the ward or something else.

Victoria’s face instantly turned pale. She was terrified and panicking at that moment.
