Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 481

The two looked at him.

Bane gazed calmly at the doctor. “Give her some medicine first.”

The doctor had been the family doctor for Bane’s family for years. They weren’t too

familiar with each other, but they weren’t strangers either.

When the doctor heard Bane saying that, he was silent for a moment before saying, “Mr.

Morison, I don’t mean to nag, but you heard what I said, right? She isn’t sick at all, so

what medicine can I prescribe her? She’ll get sick if she takes medicine now.”

Bane looked at him coldly. “You said she has psychological problems, right? Then

prescribe her some medicine that takes care of that.”

“But… I don’t know how!”

Jessie was stunned at the sight. She thought that Bane cared about Victoria at first,

but when the doctor said that Victoria couldn’t take medicine, Bane still insisted that he

prescribe medicine for her. What was going on?

“Mr. Morison, the doctor already said that Miss Selwyn-”

“Is this your turn to speak?”

However, she was only halfway through her words before she was interrupted.

Bane looked coldly at her. “You have no business here anymore. Get out.”

Jessie was worried about Victoria, but she didn’t think that Bane would tell her to leave

because she spoke more than she should.

She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

The doctor had already explained Victoria’s condition in detail, but Bane still acted like

this. Was he trying to hurt Victoria?

Victoria was quite nice to Jessie all this while, so Jessie subconsciously wanted to

stand up for Victoria. Unexpectedly, the doctor said, ‘Fine, I’ll give her some medicine.”

“But, doctor!” When Jessie heard that, her eyes widened in shock. “Didn’t you-”

“You heard what Mr. Morison said. I’ll prescribe medicine for her.”

Jessie was speechless.

She thought that Bane was crazy before, but now she suspected that even the doctor

was out of his mind. Bane didn’t know about medicine, but how could a doctor not

know better?

However, she had no right to speak here. She could only watch as the doctor

Chapter 461 Transt

prescribed some medicine, then turned to talk to her.

“Let her rest. Come outside with me and I’ll tell you how she should take the medicine.”

Jessie was mad, and she didn’t want to go out even when he told her to. In the end, he

grabbed her sleeve and dragged her out.

As soon as they left the room, Jessie flung his hand away. “I never thought you’re that

sort of person, Dr. Chapman!”

When Dr. Chapman heard that, he glared at her. “What sort of person? How do you

know just like that?”

As he spoke, Dr. Chapman stuffed a bottle of pills into her hand. “Take this. Give her

one pill every day.”

Jessie stepped backward. “No way! You’re horrible, Dr. Chapman. You said that Miss

Selwyn has psychological problems, right? Her body isn’t sick at all, so she shouldn’t

take medicine for no reason. I thought you were a nice doctor who has strong ethics

when you said that, but now I realized you’re completely different from what I imagined.

You’re a disappointment!”

When she finished speaking, Jessie felt someone knocking hard on her forehead. She

subconsciously reached up to cover her forehead. “Dr. Chapman!”

“You didn’t even ask me what medicine it was before you started spouting nonsense

about my lack of ethics. Aren’t you being too unreasonable?”

Jessie, who was originally enraged, seemed to sense something as she asked, “What

medicine is it?”

“Vitamins.” Dr. Chapman shook the pill bottle at her. “Do you want it?” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

When Jessie heard that the doctor simply prescribed vitamins for Victoria, she instantly

realized that it was a misunderstanding. She was instantly embarrassed to have

accused him of lacking ethics.

That must have been a grave insult to a doctor.

“D-Dr. Chapman, I… didn’t mean to do that.”

“It’s okay, I know you have good intentions, and you reacted like that because you were

panicking. Be smarter next time.”

“What do we do about Miss Selwyn then, Dr. Chapman?” She looked at the bottle of

vitamins she received from Dr. Chapman, then put on a troubled expression. “You said

that she has psychological problems, but taking vitamins won’t help anything.”

“That’s right.” Dr. Chapman’s expression was serious. “So, this medicine can only hold

out for a little while. After this, find a way to convince Bane to get her a psychologist so

Chapter 481 Transfusion

that her psychological problems can be solved. But I have a feeling that if the current

situation isn’t solved, getting a psychologist won’t help. Her condition is even worse

than I imagined.”

Of course, Jessie understood how serious it was. She had no other option but to

convince Bane. “Okay, got it, Dr. Chapman. I’ll do my best.”

Dr. Chapman patted her on the shoulder. “I’ll give her a transfusion. She’s very weak

right now.”

“I’ll help you, Dr. Chapman.”

After that, the two went in to give Victoria a transfusion.

While he was looking for Victoria’s vein, he noticed that she had lost a lot of weight

compared to their last meeting.

He frowned as he gave her the transfusion.

After the ordeal, Dr. Chapman said to Bane, “Let her rest. She’ll wake up later. She’s all

right.”

Bane looked at him, saying expressionlessly, “Thanks.”

When Dr. Chapman saw Bane like that, he parted his lips to say something, but he

swallowed the words in the end.

Victoria woke up in the afternoon.

Perhaps because she had calmed down, or perhaps the transfusion helped, she looked

much better now.

When Victoria woke up, she saw Bane keeping watch by the bed.

Her gaze met Bane’s eyes as soon as she opened her eyes.

Their gazes only met for a second before Victoria instinctively closed her eyes again.

Bane was elated that she woke up, and he was about to greet her when he saw her

reacting like that. Seeing her reaction, he fell silent. He felt a lump in his throat when he

saw her disgusted attitude as if something was lodged in there. His chest was in even

more pain because he felt like a small knife was wedged into it.

It refused to give him a quick resolution, and it tortured him at an agonizingly slow

pace.

Bane swallowed, then said in a bitter tone, “You’re awake. Are you thirsty? Would you

like some water?”

Chapter 481 Transfusion

The woman remained still with her eyes closed. It felt as if he was just seeing things

when he noticed her waking up just now.

After his crazed actions last time, Victoria refused to acknowledge him.

Bane had no other choice but to wait at the side, enduring the bitterness in his heart.

She thought that he might leave if she ignored him.

However, he remained as still as she was when she closed her eyes and stayed

stationary. He refused to budge as he continued keeping watch over her.

Because of the transfusion, Victoria had to solve some physical needs. She had the

urge to go to the bathroom when she woke up, but after enduring it for a while, she

couldn’t hold out any longer. She opened her eyes again and asked, “Where’s Jessie?”

Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to him, Bane felt his heart relax as he

immediately answered, “She’s out on some business. Are you thirsty? Shall I pour you

some water?”

“It’s okay.”

“What do you want to do? Just tell me, and I’ll—”

“Can you please go out?”

Bane fell silent.

Victoria turned around and saw that he was looking at her with a pained expression.

She had no choice but to say expressionlessly, “Please go out. I have to use the

bathroom.”
