The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 138

Christian frowned when he saw that. He then cast a glance at Victoria, his gaze fixed on her dry lips for a fraction of a second before he withdrew his gaze and exited the room.

Gabrielle immediately went to close the door. Her expression lightened, and she sat on the seat beside them.

“I prepared some soup and porridge. Which one would you like to have?” Evelyn pointed to the two thermal flasks on the table and asked.

Victoria wanted to tell them she didn’t want any because she didn’t have an appetite. However, when she met Evelyn’s gaze, she changed her mind. “I’ll have the porridge.”

Gabrielle immediately stood up and filled a bowl of porridge, thereafter serving it to Victoria.

Victoria, however, really had no appetite for anything. She scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it near her mouth. After blowing on it, she only had a small sip. “How long have you been here, Mrs. Thatcher?”

“I’ve just arrived.” Evelyn smiled and asked, “Is it hot?”

Victoria simply said it was fine and continued to eat her porridge.

“Victoria—” Evelyn called.

“Yes?” Victoria put the spoon down and looked at Evelyn.

Evelyn cast a quick glance at Gabrielle. Her lips moved, but no words came out.

“I’ll buy some fruit.” Gabrielle took the hint and left.

The door closed, leaving only both Evelyn and Victoria in the room, and the former said, “Your parents fought over you. They’re both getting divorced right now. The only thing holding up the divorce certificate is the distribution of their assets.”

Victoria’s hand trembled slightly when she heard that, and she almost dropped the bowl in her hand. After a brief moment of silence, she let out a low hum and lowered her head to eat her porridge.

The porridge, which was supposed to be delicious, was not. In fact, it felt bitter, and she wasn’t sure if it was because of her illness or something else.
