Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 454

Chapter 454 

Rainee and Leon, who had followed Bane in, looked at the scene before them in shock, 

and the two exchanged a glance. 

“How did this happen?” 

Bane had already wrapped his arms around Victoria’s waist and picked her up from the 

ground, his expression icy as he ordered, “Get a doctor here now.” 

Although he had not a single clue as to what happened here, all of his emotions were 

instantaneously taken over by worry the moment he saw her sprawled on the ground. 

He did not feel anything other than concern, terrified that she was hurt. 

Hence, his first reaction was to carry her and instruct Leon to call a doctor over. Then, 

with Victoria in his arms, he carefully placed her on the soft and large bed. 

While Leon left to look for a doctor, Rainee stayed behind. Then, she watched as Bane 

carried Victoria to bed, and how tenderly he treated her, as if he were handling 

something precious and fragile. 

Her heart was filled to the brim with envy at the sight. In all the time she had known 

Bane, she had never seen him treat a woman with this much care. What did this 

woman do to deserve special treatment from him? Did he genuinely have feelings for her?

Thinking that, Rainee couldn’t help but raise her head to look at him, biting her lip as she 

asked, “Bane, do you like her?” 

However, it was as if Bane didn’t hear a single word she uttered, and he acted as if she 

wasn’t even in the room. This angered Rainee; how could he pretend to not see her? 

In the midst of her fury, she lashed out, “Bane, you must not trust this woman. She was 

perfectly fine during the day, so why did she faint out of nowhere? Don’t fall for her lies.” 

Most likely annoyed by her constant rambling, Bane finally lifted his gaze to shoot her 

an impatient glance. 

“Get out.” 

His voice was icy and heartless, and Rainee’s face fell when she heard his tone. 

“Are you chasing me out, Bane? It took a lot of effort for me to find the time to see you. I 

don’t want to go.” 

At that, she squeezed a few tears out of the corners of her eyes and said, “Don’t chase 

me away, Bane, okay?” 

Bane was planning to check if Victoria had any wounds on her, and when he lifted her 

hair up and saw the injury on her forehead, his gaze immediately turned cold as he 

asked icily, “Why is there a wound on her forehead?”

At that, Rainee jolted. Her previously haughty attitude instantly vanished, and she 

became as silent as a quail, too afraid to say another word. 

There’s a wound on her forehead? How? Is it when I pushed her? But, I didn’t even use 

much strength, so why would her forehead be injured?

Although Rainee’s heart was drumming with fear, she did not voice it out loud. After all, 

she had already agreed with Leon that neither of them would admit that it was their 

doing. 

At that thought, she replied in a small voice, “I’m not too sure about that. Maybe she 

wanted to protest being locked up in the room?” 

At first, Rainee was still attempting to accuse Victoria of playing hard to get with Bane, 

but she was now forced to come up with a different excuse. 

After Bane examined the wound on Victoria’s forehead and connected the dots with 

what Rainee had said when he first entered, his eyes darkened. He suddenly lifted his 

head and trained his cold gaze on her. “Did you do something to her?” 

Rainee was immediately startled by the look in his eyes, stammering, “B–Bane, what are 

you saying? How could I ever do anything to her? I only met her for a moment!” 

Bane’s eyes were completely devoid of any warmth. “Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are?”

“Bane, I…” 

“Get out!” 

Bane had always been as gentle as a lamb no matter the occasion, and he was the 

textbook definition of a gentleman in Rainee’s eyes. Hence, his sudden change in 

demeanor and his fierce tone as he talked to her completely frightened her. She froze in 

place, staring at him in shock before she eventually regained her senses and ran out of 

the room. 

As she left, she coincidentally ran into Leon who had returned with a doctor. Upon 

seeing her disheveled and hasty departure, he deduced that she hadn’t been able to 

gain a favorable reaction from Bane, and he began to grow nervous as well. 

After entering the room, he was too afraid to say anything unnecessary and only 

reported the main point. “Mr. Morison, the doctor is here.” 

“Come and take a look at where she’s hurt.” 

The doctor hurried over to examine Victoria’s body, and upon seeing the wound on her 

forehead, he hastily disinfected the wound and took care of it before saying, “It seems 

like it’s been quite a while since she got this injury.” 

Next to him, Bane’s eyes narrowed dangerously at his words, and the air around him turned icy.

Leon couldn’t stop the tremor that coursed through his body. He expected Bane to berate him, but instead, Bane only reminded the doctor to conduct a thorough 

examination of Victoria before he turned his gaze toward him. 

“What exactly happened?”

After hearing that, Leon immediately explained without any hesitation, “Mr. Morison, Mr. 

Hudson did indeed send Miss Selwyn over as per your instructions. I was planning to 

take her back to her room as well, but she insisted on seeing you… Hence, we stayed at 

the door for a while, but Ms. Rainee showed up at this moment. She lost her temper 

after seeing Miss Selwyn and said that she wanted to teach her a lesson on your behalf, 

so they got into an argument.” 

Bane quietly listened as he spoke, and it was only after he ended his speech that the 

corners of Bane’s lips curled up as he let out a chortle. 

“Got into… an argument?” 

Leon nodded. “Yes, Mr. Morison.” 

“Do you think I’ll believe that nonsense?”
