Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411 

However, the smile disappeared from her face after just a moment, because she 

started worrying about Alaric again. 

Being an observant man, Terrance immediately noticed the drastic and instantaneous 

change in her facial expression. So, he quickly comforted her, saying, “Relax, Miss 

Selwyn. Seriously, don’t worry about it. Mr. Cadogan never does anything that he isn’t 

confident about.”

“I know that.” Victoria nodded. Having known Alaric for such a long time, she knew of 

course that he would never do anything that he wasn’t confident about. Still, it was one 

thing to know about it, but it was another thing to be worried about him. 

In reality, though, their journey was smooth without a hitch because the man had 

stayed behind to deal with things over there. After arriving at a safe location, Terrance 

escorted Victoria and the kids into a room. 

The journey here had taken them a long time. So, when Terrance was about to leave, 

Victoria stopped him, asking, “When will he presumably be back?” 

“Well…” Terrance shook his head. “I’m not really sure about this. He’ll be back once he is 

done dealing with the stuff over there.”

“Hasn’t he given you an answer yet?”

“Miss Selwyn, you traveled with me all the way here, during which time my phone rang 

only once. It was the phone call from Miss Jones, and you know that.” 

The light in Victoria’s eyes slowly dimmed at Terrance’s reply. 

Just then, Terrance’s phone happened to start ringing. 

Victoria’s eyes lit up. “Is that him-‘ 

Terrance took out his phone to take a look. Then, he replied, “No, it’s not him.” 

The light in Victoria’s eyes vanished at once. “I got it.” 

After taking a look at his phone, Terrance tentatively asked, “Miss Selwyn, can I go 

ahead with my work if there’s nothing else?” 

Victoria nodded. “Sure, just go ahead.” 

Terrance left soon after that, whereas Victoria let out a sigh before closing the door of 

the room. 

The room was neat and clean. At first, she thought this room was intended for them,

but after getting in, she noticed there were signs of daily life in the room. There were 

men’s clothes hanging in the closet; she recognized at a glance that these were 

Alaric’s. In other words, Terrance had taken them directly to Alaric’s own room.

It was already getting late now. After running around all day with her, the two kids were 

terribly exhausted. At this moment, they were lying sprawled on the couch. Seeing her 

come back, they both called out to her in a weak voice, “Mommy.” 

It simply pained Victoria to see them like this. Just when she wanted to go over to 

them, she suddenly recalled something. Turning around, she trotted back to push the 

door open just in time to see Terrance return. “Mr. Levane, my daughter-” 

“By the way, Miss Selwyn, the doctor is already on his way here and will probably arrive 

in a moment. Would you like to get something to eat before getting Miss Nicole’s foot 

treated?” 

In reality, after spending all day on the run, Victoria was already so tired that she had no 

appetite for food. Well, that’s okay for me, but not for the kids, she thought. Hence, she 

nodded. “Yeah, okay. Please get something for them to eat.” 

Soon after that, there was food delivered to their room. 

Making use of the time in between, Victoria helped the twins change into clothes

prepared by the servants and even washed their feet. When the doctor arrived, Nicole

was sitting on the couch, eating with a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, while 

her pink and tender feet were swinging back and forth in the air. 

At seeing this, the doctor instantly got the picture of what was wrong with the girl. 

“Miss Selwyn, the doctor is here,” Terrance reminded Victoria. 

Victoria signaled Nicole to put down her bowl, upon which the girl immediately set it 

down on the dining table. After shifting a little away from the dining table, she sat 

obediently. 

The doctor couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of this. “Relax. It’s a private 

consultation, anyway. Just make yourself at home,” he said before crouching down in 

front of Nicole. He gently held her right ankle in his hand, asking, “Did you hurt this 

foot?” 

The moment he held her ankle, Nicole nervously clutched her shirt and nodded. 

The doctor examined her fair ankle before gently pressing a particular spot. All at once, 

Nicole trembled with pain and cried out, “Mommy!” 

Victoria’s heart ached instantly, and she stretched out her hands for her to hold onto.

“Looks like it hurts here. How about this side? Does it hurt as well?” The doctor spent 

some time examining Nicole’s ankle. Then, he announced, “The girl is fine; she just 

sprained her ankle, that’s all. I’ll prescribe some medicine for her. She’ll recover with a 

few days‘ rest, but be careful not to let her be up and about for the next few days.” 

Victoria thanked the doctor, who then prescribed some medicine for Nicole before 

leaving. 

This took over half an hour. After the doctor had left, Victoria carried Nicole back to 

where she had sat just now. While doing that, she instructed the girl, “Next time, if you 

hurt yourself, you must tell me immediately. Don’t try to bear with it on your own. You 

understand?”

Having learned her lesson this time, Nicole nodded obediently. “I understand, Mommy.” 

“Alright. Now hurry and finish your food before going to bed with your brother.” 

Nicole picked up her spoon, but she didn’t move after that. Instead, she stared at 

Victoria, asking, “Mommy, why isn’t Mr. Night with us? Where is he?” 

That’s my question, too. Victoria also wanted to ask about this. It had been a long time 

since they came back here, not to mention the time they had spent on their journey. 

And yet, there was still no word from Alaric. She was worried sick about the man right
