Chapter 443 Encountering Marlowe at the Hospital
At that time, Victoria had only known Ronnie for a few days, and her first impression of him was that he was ruthless.
But when he beat Ronan to death right in front of her and laughed happily, she realized that he was not only ruthless but also a complete lunatic.
At that moment, she could only endure the pain and watch him torture Ronan, powerless to do anything.
She questioned him at the time, "Ronnie, I already returned the notebook to you, why did you break your promise?"
He replied, "Because I take pleasure in killing, and he deserved to die for defying me and saying I wasn't worthy of liking you!"
From that moment on, she was consumed with a burning hatred for Ronnie. She wanted to see him suffer in the most excruciating ways imaginable.
His affection for her also made her sick.
After that, she and George were trapped at Base 103 for three months.
During those three months, Ronnie used George to threaten her into having dinner with him every day, and she had no choice but to comply.
She also used this opportunity to find a way to escape. Discovering that Base 103 had an ammunition depot, she found a chance to take Ronnie's access card.
But on the day she planned to act, Ronnie discovered her plan, but he was already unable to stop her. On that day, during a fight, she disfigured his face.
Because of Ronnie's delay, she and George didn't have time to evacuate, and Base 103 exploded.
George saved her by pushing her out at the moment of the explosion.
When she woke up and found him, he was already unconscious, with a piece of concrete pressing on his thigh.
By the time she sent out a distress signal and Cedric and the others arrived, he had missed the best time for treatment, and his right leg couldn't be saved.
She never told anyone about this, including how Ronan died.
Since then, she had actually looked for Ronnie, but there was no news of him, and she thought he had died in the explosion. But she didn't expect him to be alive.
"So, you knelt to him on the cliff for George's sake?" Alexander asked after hearing her story.
"How did you know?" She looked at him.
Alexander pursed his lips, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, "Ronnie told me himself."
But what Ronnie said wasn't the whole truth, and there was no need to tell her that to disgust her.
"What else did he tell you?" she frowned and asked.
Alexander stared at her for a while. "Nothing much, just that you're very attractive."
Victoria fell silent.
The next morning.
She had just finished washing up and came out of the hospital room when she learned that George and Marigold had both woken up.
"Darling, let's have breakfast later. Come with me to see them first," Victoria said.
Alexander understood her excitement at this moment after hearing her story last night. She had been waking up throughout the night, worried about these two matters.
Now, if she had breakfast before seeing them, she wouldn't be at ease.
So he let her be.
In the afternoon, an unexpected person appeared in Victoria's ward.
"Mrs. Howard, look who's here." Kimberly said as she entered.
Then Kimberly stepped aside, and a heavily pregnant Marlowe appeared in front of Victoria.
Victoria was stunned. She sat up slightly on the bed. "Marlowe? What are you doing here?"
She never expected to meet Marlowe in the Kingdom of Serenia.
After Marlowe left, almost no one knew where she had gone.
At the same time, a handsome stranger followed behind her.
Victoria immediately thought of a name: Elliot.
"I just finished a prenatal check-up and saw Kimberly in the hospital lobby. I thought I was seeing things, but it turned out to be real. How did you get hurt?" Marlowe walked over, looking at the bandage on Victoria's arm, and asked with a frown.
Marlowe herself didn't expect to meet Victoria here.
Victoria briefly explained without going into details to avoid scaring her.
After chatting for a while, Victoria learned that Marlowe lived in Sunset Town, the small town they had visited the day before.
She observed that Marlowe was in high spirits lately, and it was evident in his demeanor. Despite the short span of time, she felt as though she had undergone significant changes herself.
It seemed that living in a different place could really improve one's mood, especially Sunset Town, which was indeed a nice place to live.
But what would Grant think if he knew his wife was accompanied by another man for her prenatal check-up?
Alexander and Elliot weren't familiar with each other, so they just exchanged simple greetings and didn't talk much.
Marlowe didn't stay long either, as she was pregnant and it wasn't convenient for her to stay in the hospital for too long.
"Victoria, I want to go back now. I'll make something delicious tomorrow and come see you again," Marlowe said.
"Okay."
At this moment, Alexander, who had been silent, called out to Marlowe, "Mrs. Scott, let me arrange for someone to take you back."
Marlowe was slightly stunned, then said, "No need, Elliot can take me."
Alexander didn't insist.
After Marlowe and Elliot left, Victoria looked at Alexander. "Darling, you called Marlowe Mrs. Scott on purpose, didn't you? You didn't inform Grant, did you?"
Alexander didn't answer her first question, but his silence was an admission. "I didn't say anything, but someone will."
Victoria was puzzled.
When Elliot was taking Marlowe back to the small town, he also brought up the topic.
"Marlowe, aren't you afraid Grant will come looking for you here?" he asked.
Actually, since Grant had come looking for Elliot once, he hadn't come again, but he must have secretly sent people to follow Elliot.
This time, Elliot came to the Kingdom of Serenia to avoid Grant's people.
But he didn't expect to meet Alexander and the others here.
And he naturally knew the relationship between Alexander and Grant. Since Alexander had seen them, he wouldn't just sit by.
Marlowe replied, "No, Victoria and Mr. Howard helped cover for me before."
She chose to trust Victoria, and Victoria didn't let her down.
