Chapter 63

Vincent gave a sheepish laugh. “Testimony? No, you’ve misheard it. Uh, I had too much to drink and am having a terrible hangover, so I’m gonna sleep a little longer. Don’t call me again!” he said hurriedly before hanging up the phone, not giving Victoria the opportunity to ask more questions.

Victoria called him again, but nobody answered the phone.

After pursing her lips, she got out of bed, put on her shoes, and attempted to walk outside without changing out of her hospital gown. Vincent often acts on impulse with no regard for the consequences. Who knows what he’s just done?!

“Are you going out?” Gabrielle stood up and blocked her way. “Your sister-in-law said that you had to rest.”

Victoria frowned. “Step aside.”

Gabrielle argued, “Your leg’s been broken before, and now it’s scalded. What if your wound becomes inflamed, and your leg gets necrotized and becomes crippled for life?” She had no knowledge of medicine, nor did she know what she was blabbering about; all she wanted to do right now was to stop Victoria.

The furrows in Victoria’s brow deepened. “I know my own leg’s condition. Step aside!” she said before pausing for a moment. Then, she added, “If you don’t want to displease my sister-in-law, you can tell her that I forced my way out. She isn’t an unreasonable person.”

Seeing the look on her face, Gabrielle hesitated for a moment before stepping aside. “You said it yourself.”

“Uh-huh,” Victoria mumbled nonchalantly. Then, she walked past Gabrielle and ran outside.

Gabrielle pondered for a moment before swiftly catching up with her. “Wait for me, Victoria! I’ll go with you!”

Victoria didn’t stop, though. Running all the way to the elevator lobby, she pressed the button for all the four elevators. Then, lowering her head with a frown, she stood between two elevators that were arriving at about the same speed, waiting.

Ding! The elevator door opened. She looked up and was just about to enter, only to be stunned when she saw the people in the elevator.

Dressed in a silvery gray suit, Christian was standing behind the wheelchair in the elevator. Looking handsome and dignified, he was intently examining the wound on the back of Bella’s hand.

At the sight of this, Gabrielle, standing next to Victoria, was stunned as well.

“Why would you come out here?” Bella’s gaze fell upon Victoria’s leg. She said anxiously, “You’ve scalded your leg, so you’d better lie in bed and rest up.”

Christian raised his eyes. His gaze paused upon Victoria’s leg for a moment, but he looked away soon after that.
