The Silent Wife

Chapter 149

When Victor regained consciousness, the first thing he saw was Gloria beside him. “How did I end up here?”

“Come on, you had a concussion. Where else would you be except for the hospital? The crematorium?”

A still slightly dazed Victor sat up on the bed. “I remember now. It’s Justin. That b*stard knocked me out. Right, where’s Miss Rachel? Where is she right now?” If he wasn’t awake before, he certainly was by now. “Justin took her away, didn’t he? I have to look for her right now!”

Gloria immediately stopped him as she used every ounce of her strength to keep him on the bed. “What are you going to do in this condition? You know it’s useless!”

“That good-for-nothing took Miss Rachel away! I can’t just stand by and watch!”

“She’s fine; she’s now staying at Southwind Villa. I sneaked in to check on her before.” Her expression was a little complicated. “I feel she wouldn’t want to see me, so I didn’t enter, though.”

Victor slammed his fist on the bed. “What does he want with Miss Rachel? They’re already divorced, but he still won’t let her go! He even caused a scene at her grandma’s funeral!”

“I’ll ask him about this matter later. Don’t worry about it.”

“What do you think his answer would be? How are you still able to see him as a proper human being after all he has done?”

Victor was so furious that he would blow the roof off the ward if he could. “Look at all the pain he has made Miss Rachel endure!”

“There must have been a misunderstanding!”

“Gloria, there’s something wrong with you! You were raised by him, so you’re unable to have unbiased thinking!”

Gloria’s expression suddenly changed as she rose to her feet. “Fine! I’m biased! Are you happy now?”

Her hands were clenched into tight fists as her eyes reddened. She managed to swallow her suppressed emotions as she spoke, “Don’t worry about the matters concerning Grandma; I’ve asked someone to take care of them.”

With that, she took her bag and left the ward without looking back.

Victor watched her leave before he scratched his head in frustration. He was starting to regret not choosing his words earlier.

To Gloria, Justin was a benefactor who raised her.

Even if he really was a wretched criminal, she wouldn’t be able to criticize him like everyone else did.
