Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 171

B
In the meantime, Alaric was perched precariously on the edge, looking like he could
fall at any moment.
However, the blonde woman’s playful interaction with Terrance abruptly stopped
when she noticed Alaric’s distressed appearance and realized something was
wrong. Ultimately, she abandoned her attempts to captivate Terrance and followed
him while awkwardly communicating with him in Corynthean. “Is he alright? Should
I call for an ambulance?”
When he found out their collaborator had sent this woman to them, he initially
wanted her to leave. However, after seeing Alaric in such a state… Instead, he
uttered, “Please, refrain from touching me.”
Nonetheless, when she attempted to assist Terrance in propping Alaric up,
she was
met with an icy reprimand from Alaric. In response, Terrance swatted her hand away
and deftly translated what Alaric had said. “There’s no need for your help here. You
should go and attend to your own matters.”
On the other hand, the blonde woman gazed reluctantly at the feeble yet undeniably
handsome man before her. Such an exceptional man is truly a rare gem; it’s just
that… As she observed Alaric’s frailty, she realized he would be unable to return her

interest tonight even if she managed to arouse him After realizing this, she
relinquished her persistence and departed
After the woman left, Terrance, who was clearly struggling under the burden of
Alaric’s weight, led him into the bedroom As Alaric settled on the couch, the arrival
of the young intern disrupted the silence, bursting through the door when she saw
that it wasn’t opened with a gastric medicine in her hand Mr Levane, I’ve brought
the g-gastric medicine
When Terrance heard this, he quickly grabbed the medication, unscrewed the bottle,
and prepared to pour the medicine onto his palm Midway through, he was abruptly
reminded of something as he quickly turned her, urgently demanding, “Water! Past
me water!”
“Ah, water! I’ll go get it immediately” Then, she promptly turned her head and hurried
into the kitchen to grab a glass of water for Alaric
Due to Alanic’s stomach condition, the scene became a whirlwind of chaos and
commotion, though only Terrance and the young intern were the busy ones
attending to the matter.
By the time Alanc had consumed the medicine and been tenderly guided to the
respite of the guest room, half an hour had quietly slipped away. As for their choice

of the quest room, it was because the blonde woman had slept on the bed, so not
only were the bed and sheets soiled, but the entire rigter room was also scented
with perfume
After emerging from the room, Terrance immediately ordered, ‘Once Me Cadogan is
feeling slightly better, we shall relocate him to a fresh suite on the lower floor
The young intern readily nodded and said, “Okay, no problem. What was that woman
doing? How did a woman end up in Mr. Cadogan’s room
When he heard that, he responded helplessly, “She was sent by the collaborator
thinking Mr. Cadogan would be interested”
She was speechless upon hearing that and eventually grumbled, is the person in
charge of the collaboration dumb? Have they not heard that Mr. Cadogan is
uninterested in such things? It would be common knowledge if they had asked
around
Ultimately, Terrance chose not to elaborate further, his countenance darkening
“By the way why did Mr. Cadogan’s stomach act up again?”
“He barely ate a few bites for lunch and didn’t have time for dinner. Of course, with

his pre-existing stomach condition, if he doesn’t eat properly, his stomach will act up
again.” When the matter was brought up, he couldn’t help but scratch his head in
frustration. Then, he continued, “Mr. Cadogan has been suffering from this illness
for a long time. If this persists, who knows if it may take a turn for the worse?
Despite our earnest efforts to counsel him, he remains unyielding. Not only does he
disregard proper meals, but he’s also consumed by his work.”

The young intern couldn’t help but shudder upon hearing that, recalling Alaric’s
dreadful complexion from earlier. Then, she inquired, “Won’t he listen even after his
family intervened?”
Terrance’s expression turned somber in response. “It’s useless. If it had worked, Mr.
Cadogan would not be suffering as much as he is now.”
“Right.” As the conversation progressed, a palpable air of hopelessness pervaded
the room. Suddenly, a glimmer sparked in her eyes as she recalled something.
“What about Miss Johnson? Haven’t we been told for years that she is Mr.
Cadogan’s sole presence? Can’t she persuade him?”
“You mean Claudia?” he sighed and added, “Let’s not dwell on that. Initially, I
believed it would make a difference. I even beseeched her for assistance, but it was
useless.”

After hearing that, the young intern said, “If even Miss Johnson couldn’t do
anything… Then, it seems there’s no solution. We’ll just let things develop as they
are. Mr. Cadogan won’t pass away prematurely, right?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Don’t talk nonsense! You’re just an intern, so don’t utter ill wishes!”
Terrance scolded, causing her to pout.
“Mr. Levane, let’s be honest. Am I really cursing anyone? I am genuinely concerned
about Mr. Cadogan. If things persist like this, even a healthy individual couldn’t
endure such turmoil, right?”
Terrance sighed, acknowledging the young intern’s point. “Yes, but if even his family
members are powerless, what can we do?”
She said nothing after that, and they fell into a shared silence.

Meanwhile, Alaric awoke two hours later and changed rooms. The new chamber
welcomed fresh air, free of unpleasant odors, and he quickly fell into a deep slumber
on the bed.
Afterward, Terrance opened the window to allow ventilation and told the young
intern, “Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may return now.”

“What about you?”
“Mr. Cadogan is not feeling well; someone needs to stay here with him at night.”
She pursed her lips, pondering for a while before suddenly suggesting, “Should Mr.
Cadogan take his stomach medicine without eating anything? It can’t be good for
his stomach, right? How about… I go downstairs and see if I can find some plain
congee?”
“This is a foreign country; finding plain congee won’t be easy.”

“When I returned, I noticed a Corynthean restaurant nearby. Perhaps, they have it? I’ll
go and check.” With those words, she hurriedly dashed out.
Initially, Terrance intended to tell the young intern not to bother, considering that
even if she managed to buy it, there was no guarantee that Alaric would eat it.
However, she was so enthusiastic that he didn’t stop her and could only sigh before.
taking a seat.
About an hour later, she returned, clutching a container wrapped in multiple plastic
bags. “Mr. Levane, I’m back.”
He promptly stood up upon hearing that. “You got it?”

She nodded and smiled. “Yes, I got it. The owner of the restaurant downstairs is a
Corynthean. As soon as he heard about Mr. Cadogan’s stomach condition, he
immediately cooked a pot of congee.”

After hearing this, Terrance hurriedly approached and verified that it was congee.
Moreover, he couldn’t fathom how the owner prepared it, but it exuded a fragrant
aroma that aroused one’s appetite.
“I’ll call Mr. Cadogan, and you go to the kitchen and fetch a bowl. Fill it up to slightly
less than halfway.”
“Alright.”
On the other hand, Alaric had only slept for approximately two hours. Not only did
his appetite suffer, but his sleep was also restless; it was only due to his stomach
condition today that he could indulge in a deep slumber lasting a mere two hours.
After waking up, whether in his thoughts or before his eyes, all he could see was the
sweet smile of a particular woman from his past. Aside from his stomach, there was
another source of excruciating pain for him-A heartless woman. Who in this world.
