Victor took Eden to the hospital as fast as he could.
The doctor had a full body check-up on her, luckily, she didn't have any severe wounds. It was just the wound on her belly was a little serious. But after the treatment, she should be able to get better very soon.
Eden did not wake up until the next morning.
When she opened her eyes, she already realized that she was in the hospital because she smelled the disinfectant. She looked around and suddenly saw Victor's deep eyes.
He was sitting by her bed, looking very pale. He must not sleep at all the whole night.
He just kept staring at her silently without saying anything.
His jaw tightened, and his serious face made Eden a little scared.
There was a faint trace of anger in his dark eyes.
She could tell that he already knew about everything, so she slowly looked away nervously.
However, his sharp eyes followed her. Even if she lowered her head, she could still feel the anger from him.
She smiled weakly and said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Victor still didn't speak, and his eyes didn't move away either.
Eden felt more nervous. She glanced at him quickly and realized that he was truly angry this time.
It seemed that nothing could save her anymore.
Originally, she had planned to go through the legal process with Chelsea.
However, Chelsea was more stupid than she thought. What happened the night before was in her plan, but just happened slightly earlier. Even if she did not do this, Chelsea would still attack her. It was just a matter of time.
She thought that everything would happen after the New Year, but she did not know that her slap totally provoked Chelsea, and made her unable to wait any longer.
"I... I'll sleep for a bit longer. If you're sleepy, just lie down and sleep for a while. I'm fine now." After saying that, Eden turned over. She couldn't help glancing at Victor who didn't even blink and intended to just play dumb.
However, as soon as she turned over, a muffled angry voice came from the top of her head, "You are brave now, aren't you?"
This was the first thing Victor had said since last night.
Eden paused for a moment before turning around to look at him. The fluster and nervousness on her face were very obvious.
She knew she could never lie or do anything bad because her face would sell her straight away.
She carefully reached out and gently pulled Victor's sleeve. She looked at him with her bright and pitiful eyes. "Hey, Victor, I am sorry."
Victor closed his eyes quickly. Even though he knew that she did it on purpose, he still felt that her soft voice melt his heart.
But this time, he would not let her go easily. She had planned such a dangerous thing in secret.
Eden looked at him indifferently. Her eyes looked so bright and innocent. Under the light, her beautiful face shone even brighter.
Victor suppressed the heat all over his body.
"Vic, I'm hungry!" Eden said sweetly. However, Victor didn't seem to buy it at all. She was getting more flustered.
She must have frightened him this time. Actually, she did not expect Chelsea to be so impatient.
It was much faster than she had imagined.
Victor still looked indifferent.
"Honey, I'll make you dumplings tonight."
Hearing this, Victor was a little speechless. Did she think she could get away with it so easily?
"Honey, I'll give you a good massage tonight then."
Victor seemed to be a little tempted this time, but his face remained the same.
Eden started getting a little annoyed when she saw that he didn't seem to buy anything.
Anyway, it was her fault, so she would just put up with it.
"Darling, do you want to go for a date tonight?"
