Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 451

When he said those words, it was barely audible even though he had done so when he

reached over.

Victoria had been restless, but when she heard those words, she could only gently blink

and look at Ethan.

Ethan took the initiative to wipe the beads of sweat that had gathered on Victoria’s

head and immediately retracted his hand.

She regained her composure after that. In actual fact, when Ethan informed her that

Alaric was safe, she still couldn’t help but be worried. Even though he had explained the

situation in a soft voice, she was still worried.

After all, she had been greatly affected by that photo she saw.

She felt that it was all a dream because her heart still raced. Even though it might have

been a dream, what if the events that occurred in the dream turned out to be a reality?

At this, she took a deep breath and asked in a manner that seemed unintentional. “Mr.

Hudson, have you had nightmares before?”

As soon as she asked that, everyone looked at her.

Ethan never expected that Victoria would speak to him, so he was stunned. Then, he

answered, “Yup.”

Victoria remained silent thereafter, which prompted Ethan to look at her as he

comforted her, “Miss Selwyn, there’s a reason why it’s called a dream. It’s the opposite

of the reality. You’re not in the best of health, so stop thinking about this. Why don’t you

rest for a while more? We should be arriving at any moment.”

Those around them also listened to them attentively as they noticed Victoria’s pale face

earlier, which left them frightened.

When they heard that Ethan was merely comforting her, they did not object to his

words and even echoed, “That’s right, Miss Selwyn. Dreams are the opposite of reality.

So, if you dream about bad things, then you’ll have good news in reality.”

“Yes, yes. I used to have nightmares all the time when I was younger. Maybe it’s

because I was nervous about my grades. It all went away once I relaxed. So, the

dreams were merely scaring me only.”

Everyone assisted Ethan in convincing Victoria, who then fell asleep again not long

after.

They were all finally relieved to see her even breathing and whispered, “Thank heavens.

If something were to happen to Miss Selwyn, we’d be screwed, knowing Mr. Morison’s

temper.”

“Yeah. We’re here to protect Miss Selwyn, but her emotions seem off. We’ll need to

keep an eye on her and try to make her happy.”

Everyone chatted for a while as they brainstormed.

By the time Victoria woke up again, the plane was already preparing to land on the

runway. Because of the nightmares that she had, she was still groggy but became

much more energetic after learning about their landing.

Has the plane finally arrived?

Can I finally meet Alaric?

At that, there was joy in Victoria’s heart as her lips curled upward to reveal a faint smile.

It had not been long since they last met, but she already started to miss him deeply.

However, she needed to create an opportunity to inform Terrance and the others.

Unfortunately for her, the toilet on the plane was inaccessible at the time of the landing,

so she could only search for opportunities once she had alighted.

After alighting from the plane, Victoria tried to excuse herself to the toilet when she

heard Ethan saying, “Miss Selwyn, before we leave, you must surrender your phone and

any electronic devices to me.”

At this, she glanced at him. “Surrender my phone?”

“Yup.”

She had not even found an opportunity to text Terrance on top of not knowing where

she was at the moment.

What is going on? Didn’t Bane use Alaric to suppress me? So, why is he so scared that

I’ll inform the others? I mean, even if I do, doesn’t he know that I won’t escape?

Victoria was slightly unhappy upon thinking about this.

When he saw that Victoria was standing still, Ethan reminded her, “Miss Selwyn, if you

want to see Mr. Cadogan, please don’t make our lives difficult and delay our time. If you

hand your phone over earlier, we’ll be there much sooner. Why don’t we leave at one? Of

course, if you’re unwilling to surrender your devices, we have the time to accompany

you too.”

Ethan seemed to be a different person now that he was off the plane.

It also looked like whatever communication that was blocked on the plane was now

restored, which meant that they would be monitored. Judging from the situation at

hand, Victoria had no choice but to surrender her phone.

At this thought, she could only take out her phone to pass it to Ethan, who then

switched off her phone and removed the SIM card.

She was speechless at his action. Sure enough, it’s the same modus operandi. Don’t tell

me you’ll destroy the SIM card first before returning my phone?

However, she was wrong this time.

Ethan kept her phone with him instead of returning it to her. “Let’s go.”

After that, under Ethan’s guidance, they all went to an underground parking garage.

However, as soon as they arrived, someone took out a pair of glasses and handed them

to Victoria. “Please wear this, Miss Selwyn.”

“Glasses?” Victoria could not understand the other party’s intention. “For what?”

“If you want to depart, you have to wear this.”

She was once again speechless.

After she wore the said glasses that they gave her and looked around, she realized that

it was not an ordinary pair of glasses, but rather the kind that blocked one’s vision. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

In short, once she wore the glasses, she was like a blind person.

On top of confiscating her cell phone, they did not even want her to know the road

conditions to their final destination.

Now that she was wearing the blindfold glasses, she couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s just a

car ride. Do you have to gag me to prevent me from yelling?”

Her question was enough to cause total silence in the vehicle.

A second later, they saw her stretching her hands in their direction as she suggested,

“Why don’t you bind my hands too?”

When they saw how insistent she was, they retracted their necks and lost the courage

to speak for a while as they took a step back.

Ethan merely stood there, partly because he never expected Victoria to be extremely

displeased.

As he was hesitating on his next move, he heard Bane’s voice coming from the

earphones.

“Her temper…” Bane was helpless as he sighed and finally continued, “If you force her

even more, I’m worried that it’ll only make her angrier. Since the phone has been

confiscated, if she doesn’t want to wear the blindfold glasses, then she doesn’t have

to.”

After receiving Bane’s instructions, Ethan turned to Victoria. “Miss Selwyn, since you

Chapter 451 Dreams Are the Opposite of Reality

don’t want to wear the glasses, then you don’t have to. Our car is in front. Let’s go.”

She stood there and stared at Ethan as she twirled the glasses. “Are you sure? I can

choose not to wear it if I don’t want to?”

After saying that, Victoria threw the item onto the ground,

When Ethan saw her doing that, he nodded and responded with a muffled voice, “Let’s

go, Miss Selwyn.”

It was only at that moment that Victoria was willing to follow Ethan.

Everyone else only dared to make a move after that.

At the sight of the blindfold glasses that she threw onto the ground, someone picked it

up and kept it in the pocket of his pants.
