Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 506

Chapter 5 0 6 Disappointing You

She got into a big fight with Bane because she was worried he might not treat Alaric. He was severely injured, and if he didn’t get treated, he might die or get afflicted with serious. complications. Eventually, she convinced Bane into letting him leave.

Just then, she was reminded of the promise she made to Bane. He only let Alaric go because she offered to stay. And now I’m gone before I even explained things to him. Bane would be waiting for nothing, and she had no idea what he was going to talk about. She had a feeling he would say goodbye, but that was just a hunch. Victoria asked, “How long have I been out?”

“Why do you want to know?”

“Just curious.”

“A day.”

She pursed her lips. I wonder what had happened when I was out.

She fell into silence. Alaric had no idea what was on her mind, but he knew she was not in the best of moods. “What’s wrong?”

She looked at him and shook her head. “It’s nothing.” That was what she said, but then she fell right back into her pensive thoughts.

The man asked, “So, do you remember how you lost

your

memories?”

The question confused Victoria, and it was then she realized that she hadn’t even wondered how she had lost her memories after losing him. “I… am not sure, but when I woke up, my head felt like it was injured.”

Alaric looked at her forehead, but there was no wound or scar, so he checked the back of her head. “So, you hurt the back of your head?”

“I think so.”

He checked on it for a moment and fell silent. “You’re getting that checkup. I need to know you’re

fine.”

Right then, Victoria was reminded of something else. “Hey, I know you want me to get checked, but what about you?”

“What about me?”

“If I’m right, the whole reason I went there was to make a deal with him. I stayed so you could leave.”

Alaric frowned, and he cursed himself for relenting back then. If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have gotten himself hurt or knocked out. If he weren’t knocked out, she wouldn’t offer herself up so he could leave.

He failed as a man; he failed to protect his lover and had her put herself in danger.

“Ethan told me you were deep in a coma when you left. Badly hurt, too.” That was the meat of the conversation “So, when did you wake up? Have you sustained any more wounds other than the one on your chest?”

Alaric said nothing.

“Alaric?”

Alaric looked at her. “Not too long ago.”

“And you came straight to me?”

He didn’t want to tell her, but it was impossible to hide, so he confessed, “Yes.” When he woke up and found out he was back in his home nation, he told Terrance to arrange a flight. And thanks to his father’s help, he managed to save Victoria.
