Chapter 1001 Isn't the Harrington Family Responsible for That
"Daisy!"
"Shut up!"
Mrs. Joshson and Arabella spoke at the same time.
Victoria flinched, her hand lightly touching the wall.
She had no idea how the argument had started so suddenly.
It was only today that she discovered how fierce Arabella could be in a fight.
And this girl named Daisy, well, she had deep ties with the Harrington family.
"What? She's blind and has lost her memory. Isn't the Harrington family responsible for that?" Daisy continued to press.
Suddenly, Mrs. Joshson slapped Daisy.
She hadn't expected Daisy to dare say such things.
"Why did you hit me?" Daisy was on the verge of tears.
At home, they pampered her, but here, she was slapped.
"Why do you think?" Mrs. Joshson's eyes were filled with warning, almost too angry to speak.
"Did I say anything wrong? Her parents were killed by the Harrington family, and she's been left in this state, hasn't she?" Daisy looked from Mrs. Joshson to Victoria.
To put it bluntly, Victoria was now disabled, the kind that qualifies for disability benefits.
"Oh my goodness, what nonsense are you spouting? It's not like that. Mrs. Harrington, please don't listen to her. Come with me." Mrs. Joshson hurriedly pulled Daisy away.
After all, she was pregnant with the Joshson family's child, and no one in the Joshson family wanted her to cause trouble.
The Joshua family needed a child.
Arabella was trembling with anger. She glanced at Victoria, whose face had turned pale, and felt even more uneasy.
Eloise, who had been listening inside, was initially shaking with anger, too, but she managed to calm down.
They were here to see the doctor, and that was the priority.
She spoke to the doctor, "Please take a good look at Victoria. Her blindness was caused by an injury. Once the injury heals, she should be able to see again, right?"
"Don't worry, I'll check Mrs. Harrington first." The doctor examined Victoria's face, his expression serious, but his voice gentle.
Victoria, supported by Arabella, sat in the chair. Her face was calm, and Arabella had to suppress her anger, feeling very uneasy inside.
What would Victoria think after hearing all this?
She already felt insecure, and Daisy's reckless words might exacerbate her unease.
Arabella knew she needed to call Alexander quickly. Victoria's recent strange behavior must be affecting him, too.
Victoria waited quietly.
But Daisy's words kept echoing in her mind.
Was what Daisy said true or false? She had no way to verify it.
She wasn't even anxious about regaining her sight; she wanted to remember everything first.
She wasn't born with a blank mind; something must have happened to make her forget.
Victoria's heart felt like it had been marinated for a long time. She knew she was incomplete, so she wanted to hear what the doctor had to say.
When they left, she nodded in thanks.
Eloise held her hand as they walked out, thinking about how the doctor said her pulse was chaotic at first. Eloise figured Daisy's words must have shocked her.
"Victoria, don't let what those people said get to you. There are always folks out there who can't stand seeing you and Alexander happy and just want to stir up trouble. But you should know, you two have always been deeply in love. It was love at first sight."
Eloise spoke gently to Victoria as they walked.
Victoria listened, her expression skeptical when she heard about their love at first sight, but she still followed Eloise obediently.
Arabella came out of the doctor's office looking a bit down. "She'll need to take medicine for a while. Eve, can you arrange for someone to pick up the medicine?"
"Sure thing." Eve agreed.
Victoria then noticed Eve was with them.
Frank was there too, along with a few others.
Alexander wouldn't dare let her go out alone anymore.
Arabella and Eloise had brought attendants, but the men weren't as meticulous as Eve.
Eve might not understand everything, but she was more thorough in verifying things.
Knowing Eve was there, Victoria felt inexplicably more secure, and her expression became more composed.
Arabella sighed and said, "Alexander doesn't trust me and your grandmother, so he sent them to follow us as if I wouldn't notice."
Victoria didn't catch that. When she tried to listen again, Arabella had already stopped talking.
Later, Eloise and Arabella wanted to take Victoria back to the Harrington Mansion, but Frank stepped forward. "Mrs. Eloise Harrington, Mrs. Arabella Harrington, Mr. Harrington wants us to take Mrs. Victoria Harrington to the Harrington Group office building."
"Why there?" Arabella asked, puzzled.
Frank didn't elaborate, but his expression indicated that he didn't know the reason but had to follow orders.
Arabella didn't stop them, just gave a few instructions.
Victoria, however, held onto Arabella's arm and shook her head.
Arabella was momentarily stunned by Victoria's reaction, then she smiled. "You see, Victoria doesn't want to go. Let Mr. Harrington come to the Harrington Mansion after work to pick her up."
Frank had no choice but to relay the message.
Benjamin was sipping coffee in Alexander's office. Seeing Alexander sigh dejectedly after a phone call, he asked, "What's up?"
"Frank said Tori won't come."
Alexander said with a helpless smile.
"She can't see right now. Why do you want her to come here?" Benjamin was puzzled.
Alexander held his cup, maintaining a subtle smile. Later, he murmured, "I just want to see her all the time."
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
He was so pathetic now.
Just a few hours apart, and he missed her terribly.
Benjamin guessed that Victoria's accident had hit him hard, making him want to keep her close all the time.
"She has no memory now and can't see. My advice is, don't push too hard." Benjamin reminded him.
Alexander felt a pang in his heart. He was momentarily dazed.
What he was doing now was like pushing her, even a bit forcefully.
Thinking about tying her wrist to his at night, he immediately felt a tingling sensation on his wrist.
Although tying her up made her unhappy, if he didn't, she would try to sneak away while he slept.
But she couldn't escape; the house was too big.
For the first time, he felt a bit proud of the house's size.
Tonight, he would have to tie her up again.
