Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509 Why Did You Do That to Her

Victoria had no idea about the kind of woman she was before the amnesia, nor did she know how she would deal with this kind of matter, but she just knew she had to nag him. Everyone could laugh just because things ended up fine, but what if they didn’t? What if they ended with tragedy?

Alaric knew the severity of the situation as well. Victoria had just woken up, and fluctuating emotions might hurt her, so he stopped arguing and quickly apologized. “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Please don’t stay mad at me, alright?”

Victoria thought he would at least argue, but instead, he apologized right away. She looked at him dubiously. “That’s fast. Are you sure you won’t do it again, or did you just say it to appease me? You won’t do it again, will you?”

“No next time, I promise.” He promised he wouldn’t let her get taken away again, so there wouldn’t be a next time. Technically, that was not a lie.

Victoria couldn’t say anything after that earnest apology.

Realizing that she had calmed down, Alaric asked, “You’ve been awake for a while now. Do you feel any discomfort?”

Victoria shook her head. “No.” She wanted to ask about Bane, but earlier, Alaric looked angry because of that, so she tucked that idea away and brought up something else. “I have something to

ask.”

That line dulled Alaric’s delight, and he calmly said, “What is it?”

She knew Alaric was thinking that she might ask about Bane, and she sighed. “I’m not going to ask anything about him. Ethan told me I have two kids, so, where are they?”

Alaric thought she would forget about the kids because of her amnesia, so he was surprised that she asked. He paused, and the fury that was sparking disappeared, replaced by a softer emotion. “My dad asked around. They went to the outskirts with my mom.”

Victoria had no idea where the outskirts were, but she was relieved that the kids were with Alaric’s mother. “So, I can’t see them for now?” She really wanted to see the kids. At this moment, her amnesia was not a curse, but a blessing. She was curious about the children, wondering what they would look like. She wondered if they would act like the kids she saw in her dreams. The thought of that intensified her wish of seeing them.

Alaric asked, “Do you want to see them?”

Victoria looked at him. Before she could say anything, he said, “Then we’ll wait until the results of your checkup are out. If everything is fine, I’ll take you to them.”

Happiness filled Victoria’s eyes. “Really? So, I can see them?”

“Yes, but only after we know that you’re fine. If you’re not, then you have to stay and get treated.”

Victoria agreed to that. “Sure, but what about you? Maybe we should wait until you’re better.”

“I’m fine. I just need some rest and make sure to use my salve. Won’t harm me one bit. Besides, I don’t have to carry you around this time,” he joked.

Victoria shot him a glare. “Oh, so this is my fault now?”

“No. So feeling well? Need anything? Why don’t you eat something, and then we can check the results later?”
