Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 484

Chapter 484 

At first, Jessie thought she had misheard him. After all, she couldn’t believe Bane would 

agree to get a psychiatrist for Victoria. 

After being stunned momentarily, she asked, “What did you just say, Mr. Morison?” She 

wanted to reconfirm since she couldn’t believe her ears. 

In that split second, Bane glared at her coldly. She was startled and added hastily, “I’ll 

do it right away.” When she ran out of the room, she saw Ethan standing by the corner. 

Then, she immediately broke the news. “Mr. Hudson, Mr. Morison had agreed to find a 

psychiatrist for Miss Selwyn.” 

To Jessie, this was good news. However, after she told the news to Ethan, she noticed 

that he didn’t seem thrilled. It was as if he was telling her this was not something to 

celebrate. At that moment, the smile on her face slowly disappeared. 

“Isn’t this a good thing, Mr. Hudson? Why don’t you look happy?” Jessie wondered if she 

had done something wrong, even though she didn’t do anything yet. 

Ethan glanced at her and said, “My expression is always like this. Aren’t you going to 

find a psychiatrist? Go on.” 

Jessie was quickly scurried by Ethan. 

up, 

When the psychiatrist arrived, Victoria was still asleep. Thus, instead of waking her 

Bane told the psychiatrist to wait outside. The psychiatrist was already annoyed since 

he had to be here. Yet, he never expected that he still needed to wait for his patient. 

Just as he was about to express his dissatisfaction, the butler immediately said, 

“Please excuse us. We will pay you triple the fees.” 

In that split second, the psychiatrist was thrilled. He felt he would be willing to wait 

even a long time if they paid such a high price. 

An hour later, Victoria woke up. Only then did the servant let the psychiatrist into the 

room. Benjamin, aka the psychiatrist, immediately looked around the surroundings 

when he entered the room. 

Although it was daytime, he noticed that the curtains were closed and the dim lights 

were on. Then, he noticed a woman sitting on the couch. She looked slim and had 

beautiful features. However, she was frail and had a sharp jaw, seemingly to be in poor 

condition. She was in a daze and looked exhausted. Besides her stood a woman in a 

maid suit. There was also a man in a suit standing there. He had a faint expression and 

looked intimidating. 

When Benjamin saw the man at first glance, he knew that the man was the owner of 

the house. Thus, he greeted him. “Hello.” 

“Hello.” Bane shook his hand. 

Benjamin could tell that the man was in a bad mood. However, he thought it was 

normal since Bane looked like the woman’s husband. Thus, it would be reasonable if he 

was upset since Victoria needed a psychiatrist. Therefore, Benjamin didn’t say anything 

more and cut to the chase. “I’m sorry, but can I be alone with Miss Selwyn?” 

“Alone?” Bane’s eyes turned sharp when he heard Benjamin’s words. 

“Yes.” Benjamin smiled. “This will help the patient to open up to me.” 

Many patients who had a mental illness were wary of their families. Plus, most of the 

patients‘ mental illness‘ cause was their family members. Thus, it would be wise to be 

on a one–on–one communication. 

“How long?” 

“I’m not sure. We’ll have to see if she is willing to communicate with me or not. Plus, 

this is also associated with how severe the patient’s condition is.” 

Bane frowned as he looked at Benjamin. There was no way he would be at ease at the 

thought of Victoria being in a room with a man for who knew how long. Victoria is 

weak. What would happen if none of us knew that she had fainted inside? 

Benjamin could see the wariness in Bane’s eyes, and he knew why. After all, he had 

encountered many family members with the same issue. However, this was his job. 

Noticing that Bane was still worried, Benjamin comforted him and said, “Don’t worry. I 

have more than ten years of experience in this field. Trust me. I won’t do anything 

unethical.” 

Bane pursed his lips and said nothing. Although Benjamin had made a promise, he was 

still worried. In the end, he looked at Benjamin and said, “Can I talk to you for a 

second?” 

Benjamin was startled by his response but still nodded. “Of course. 

Then, Benjamin and Bane left the room. 

Jessie was worried as she looked at Victoria. Ever since Victoria had woken up, she 

had been sitting there, not moving. Jessie wondered if Benjamin would be able to get 

her to talk. 

Two minutes later, Benjamin came into the room. After that, he looked at Jessie. 

When she met his gaze, she immediately left the room. After all, Bane couldn’t stay 

here, not to mention her. 

As Jessie left the room, she wondered what Bane said to Benjamin. After all, he was 

worried that Victoria would be staying in the same room with another man. However, 

she knew it wasn’t her business. 

At this moment, Bane and Ethan were standing outside. When Jessie walked out of the 

room, she greeted Bane, but Bane didn’t respond since he was in a daze.
