Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 501

Chapter 501 A Stalker

Jessie told Victoria about the news after she came back.

“He wants to see me?”

“Yes, but Mr. Morison looked… off when I saw him.”

That snapped Victoria out of her thoughts, and she looked at Jessie. “Can you

elaborate?”

Jessie nodded. “He was acting differently from how he used to, and he had this weird look on his face.”

Victoria pursed her lips. She didn’t think it was odd that Bane would do this, as she had refused to see or talk to him for days. She was sleeping most of the time, and when Bane came over, she would ignore him. So, he could do nothing but stand by the bed in silence. Sometimes, he would stand for half an hour. Sometimes one hour. Sometimes the whole morning.

Victoria, on the other hand, had no idea about this. Jessie only told her about it after she woke up. And now he wants to see me? Has Bane finally had enough? Is he finally going to confront me?

Jessie changed Victoria into casual attire-a white turtleneck wool sweater paired with long pants and a grey jacket. Her hair was tied up, making her look perky. Victoria had been eating up the last couple of days, but she was still weak, and the weather was chilly.

She was bloodless down to her lips, obviously still out of it. At first, she wanted to walk over, but Bane got her a wheelchair, planning to let her sit on it and have someone push her to the destination.

Victoria was reluctant at first. She thought she was healthy enough to walk, so there was no need for

a wheelchair.

However, Jessie said, “Miss Selwyn, he’s probably worried you’ve gotten weak from not eating well. Walking might drain too much of your energy, so it’d be better if you go in a wheelchair. I’ll take

there. You don’t have to exhaust yourself.”

Oh, so that’s why. Victoria nodded. “I see.”

She then sat in the wheelchair. It was then she realized she was getting dizzy from all the standing The complications were still lingering around. The wheelchair could really save her energy.

up.

Since they would only meet at night, they had a lot of time to prepare. Once they were done, Jessie pushed her out, and it was already nighttime by then.

Victoria was surprised they would be going out. “Why is he seeing me outside?”

Jessie shook her head, confused as well. “I initially thought he’d meet you at his place but was told he’d meet you outside just moments ago. And judging from the address, it’s… on the rooftop?”

Victoria’s heart ski pped a beat when she heard that. On the rooftop? Why is he meeting me on a rooftop? Knowing that they would meet on a rooftop made her heart race. She pursed her lips and gripped the armrest tightly.
