The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 72

As the apple was not large, Victoria finished it in a few bites and was about to get up and throw the apple core away when Evelyn interceded.

“Why are you so clueless? Tori can’t get out of bed with her injury. Throw the apple core away for her,” Evelyn scolded.

Christian, who had been eating his apple by the side, stood up at her words and lifted his eyes, glancing indifferently at the person on the hospital bed before walking slowly toward her.

Instantly, Victoria blanched. She hurriedly got out of bed and threw the apple core into the trash can. “You need not trouble yourself, Mr. Thatcher.”

Christian’s eyes flashed darkly when he saw how afraid she was of him, but he didn’t say anything and sat down in his chair again with the apple in his hand.

Meanwhile, Evelyn was slightly surprised at the sight and commented, “I remember that Tori was never afraid of anything in the past.”

“That was because I was young, and I was too ignorant and wild.” Because she had stood up so suddenly, her right leg tingled and she couldn’t stop shaking. After wiping the cold sweat off her forehead, she stumbled back down onto the hospital bed.

She had always thought that with her brother and family members spoiling her, no one would dare to do anything to her, but Christian’s ruthlessness and her life in prison had given her a shocking realization.

After Christian finished his apple, his phone rang, and he went out to answer it after letting Evelyn know.

As Evelyn brought a bowl of soup to Victoria, her eyes fell on her right leg, which was wrapped in a large bandage. She sighed. “Tori, do you hate me for not helping you two years ago?”

“You weren’t obligated to help me, and Mr. Thatcher is your own son, so when he had a conflict with me, you were right to take his side. Besides, you have already been very good to me.” Victoria’s face was calm, but her hand was clutching the bed sheet tightly underneath her.

How could she not hate her? Still, her parents had already severed their relationship with her, so what could she expect an outsider to do for her? Not to mention this outsider was Christian’s mother.

Evelyn shifted her gaze from the bandages to the bed sheets that Victoria was clutching tightly, her feelings turning complicated.
