Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 460

“Victoria, let’s eat.”

Victoria had agreed to Bane earlier, so she got out of bed with his support and came to

the table.

Bane scooped a plate of rice for her and placed it in front of her.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you.”

She took the plate of rice, and he handed her the spoon.

After looking at the table filled with food, Victoria finally scooped up a mouthful of rice

with her spoon and brought it to her mouth.

The rice didn’t have much flavor, and for some reason, it tasted a bit bitter to her.

Meanwhile, Bane, who was sitting next to her, noticed that she was only eating rice and

not the other dishes. He picked up some of the food with his spoon and put them on

her plate.

Victoria wanted to refuse, but she didn’t have a chance to do so.

“You need a variety of nutrition. Don’t just eat plain rice.”

“Thank you…” Victoria nodded.

She felt a wave of nausea as she looked at the food he had put on her plate, but she

still forced herself to eat it.

“Gag…”

As soon as the food entered her mouth, she couldn’t resist the urge to vomit. She

placed her cutleries down on the table and quickly covered her mouth before rushing

toward the direction of the bathroom.

“Victoria!”

Bane was startled by her reaction and immediately got up to chase after her.

She leaned over the bathroom sink and retched. After a moment, her forehead was

covered in cold sweat.

She felt extremely uncomfortable as she vomited bile. Her stomach was empty which

resulted in her continuously dry heaving.

Bane watched this scene as he felt heartbroken and he wished he could bear it all for

her.

However, he couldn’t. All he could do was gently pat her back. It took a while, but she

eventually calmed down. She was completely drained and almost collapsed against the

wall.

He quickly picked her up and carried her out of the bathroom.

“Are you all right?”

At this moment, Victoria couldn’t even utter a single word in response to his concern.

She closed her eyes, appearing exhausted.

He didn’t want to disturb her any further, so he placed her on the bed and covered her

with a blanket.

“It stinks…” she suddenly murmured as she lay in bed.

“What did you say?” Bane didn’t catch it clearly, so he leaned closer, trying to

understand what she was saying.

“It stinks,” Victoria repeated.

Bane finally heard it clearly. “What stinks?”

She pointed toward where the food was placed, and he finally realized what she meant.

He walked over and smelled the food on her plate.

However, the scent was just the normal aroma of food, and he didn’t perceive any

terrible smell.

However, she felt that it was stinky and even felt nauseous while eating…

Bane furrowed his brows as he looked at her. Could her sense of taste be impaired?

“Leon, come in and take away all this food.”

Leon was standing guard outside the door. He had heard the commotion from inside

but didn’t know what was happening. He walked in and asked softly, “Mr. Morison, is

there something wrong with the food I bought?”

‘It doesn’t suit her taste. Just take it away for now. We’ll talk later.”

*All right.”

After the food was removed, Bane opened the window to air out the room. Soon, the

ward returned to a fresh state, and Victoria’s complexion improved slightly.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“Yes.” She nodded weakly.

“Was it the taste of the food that made you uncomfortable?” He sat down at the edge

of the bed and asked softly.

She continued nodding. “Yes. Just the smell of it made me want to vomit.”

“Was it too greasy?”

“Maybe.”

“Shall I have someone bring you a bowl of congee later?”

Congee?

Victoria felt that she didn’t dislike congee at the thought of it. So, she agreed.

Thus, Bane quickly went out to give instructions.

Afterward, he discussed his suspicions with Leon and asked him to find out what tests

Victoria should undergo.

After hearing this, Leon furrowed his brows. “Could Miss Selwyn be feeling unwell, so

she can’t eat such sumptuous food? Should we prepare a light diet for her these few

days?”

“Yes. Prepare a lighter diet and focus on getting her health back on track.”

However, even after the congee was delivered, Victoria’s appetite didn’t improve much.

Although she didn’t feel like vomiting immediately after eating, she lost her appetite

after just a few bites.

Bane couldn’t bear to see her eating so little, so after she put down the bowl, he proactively picked it up and blew on a spoonful of congee to cool it down before

bringing it to her lips.

“Victoria, be good. Have a little more?”

She furrowed her brows, looked at the congee being offered to her, and shook her head

while displaying a disgusted expression. “I don’t want to eat.”

“You ate too little just now, and you’ll be hungry at night. Just take one more spoonful?”

She closed her eyes and simply ignored him.

“Victoria?”

She turned over directly, facing away from him.

Bane felt helpless and continued to coax her, but no matter what he said, she refused

to eat anything.

Left with no choice, he put down the bowl and called Ethan to inquire about her recent

meals. The response he got was that Victoria hadn’t eaten much these past two days.

She had managed to eat some on the plane and had half a glass of beer on the night of

their departure.

After hearing that she hadn’t eaten much and had half a glass of beer, Bane felt a

headache coming on. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Could it be that drinking cold beer in the middle of the night upset her stomach,

causing her to lose her appetite now?

Perhaps he should take her to have her stomach checked to see if she had any gastric

issues.

Bane intended to ask Victoria if she felt any discomfort in her stomach, but before he

could speak, she had already fallen asleep in bed.

He could only instruct Leon to prepare everything and ensure that she wouldn’t go

hungry when she woke up in the evening.

However, it didn’t matter how well–prepared everything was, for Victoria slept through.

the night without waking up once.

When she finally woke up, it was already the next day.

Shortly after she opened her eyes, Bane brought her half a glass of water, which she

took a few sips of.

“Thank you.”

After handing him back the glass, Victoria thought of something and asked, “Is there

anything wrong with my health? Can I be discharged today?”

Upon hearing this, Bane paused.

“Discharged? Why are you in such a hurry to leave the hospital?”

“I just don’t like staying in the hospital.”

After considering for a moment, he nodded. “All right. I’ll consult with the doctor later to

see how your condition is. If he says there’s no problem, I’ll take you home for

recuperation.”

Home?

Victoria didn’t say anything. When he went to see the doctor and came back, he said

she could be discharged. After that, arrangements were made to take her away.

Bane was planning to take her back to his residence.

The room where Victoria had fallen had already been locked by his orders, and no one was allowed near it. He then arranged for her room to be on the other side and planned to move his belongings there as well.

The household servants had all been informed and none of them would speak out of turn.

“After we go back, I’ll have someone cook delicious food for you. What would you like to

eat today?”
