Chapter 120

Victoria wasn’t immune to a cute girl who was behaving coquettishly. After a moment of Janice’s badgering, she agreed to it.

The three began to walk toward the ward. Janice almost clung to Victoria as she chattered on the way.

Matthew couldn’t stop casting his glance at the two as his expression sank. At last, he walked over to them with a livid face and he dragged Janice away from Victoria.

“What are you doing?” Janice glared at him.

He adjusted the gold-trim glasses on his nose and answered with a serious expression, “You’re too heavy. Miss Coleman is struggling to carry your weight.”

Janice’s eyes widened in an alarmed look before she turned to Victoria in anticipation. “Is it true?”

Casting a glance at the man who didn’t bother to hide his hostility, Victoria sighed in resignation and nodded.

The usual joyful Janice lost her spirit at Victoria’s response in a split second. After that, she only followed them with sighs, and did not try to cling to Victoria anymore.

The three walked into the room together, adding a lively vibe to the spacious and bright ward.

Christian was sitting on the bed when his eyes skipped over Matthew and landed on Victoria. His eyes twinkled at her presence before he hid them and replaced it with a natural expression. “Why are you here?”

“I come here representing the people to see if you’re alive.” Matthew walked closer to the table and took a sniff of the thermos food jar. “Where did you get the soup? It smells good.”

Christian left the soup in the bowl untouched and it was still hot, so Matthew just grabbed it and took a few gulps from the bowl. “Tastes good too.”

Christian cast him a sidelong glance. “You have a better nose than the dogs.”

“Thanks for the compliment. You can be jealous, but you’ll never learn it.” Matthew took another few gulps before he continued, “Charlotte told me that you almost hurt an artery. I can’t believe you’ll be hard even on yourself.”
