Chapter 241 You've Already Killed My Child
The man's icy gaze swept over her as he leaned across the car, effortlessly reaching to the passenger side to open the door. "Get in," he commanded.
"Head to the hospital," he instructed further.
With a nervous dip of her head, Victoria complied, her fingers clutching the strap of her purse as she slid into the car.
"Buckle up," he ordered, his voice as cold as his gaze. With that, he started the car.
Victoria obeyed, fastening her seatbelt. Despite her nerves, she found herself stealing glances at him throughout the journey.
"Mr. Harrington," she ventured softly.
"Hmm," was the cool response from Alexander.
Victoria sensed his mind was elsewhere, but she persisted, "Could I have my passport back?"
"Certainly."
"Thank you," she said.
As he nodded his agreement, Victoria experienced a moment of disorientation, as if she were hallucinating. It took her a moment to regain her composure and utter those two words.
A faint smile played on Alexander's lips, but he offered no further comment.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Victoria purchased a large bouquet of lilies from the flower shop at the entrance.
Alexander waited patiently for her, reminding her, "Madam will be discharged tomorrow."
Victoria looked at him in confusion, but Alexander offered no further explanation. He turned and headed towards the room, Victoria quickly followed, hugging the flowers to her chest.
As they approached, a familiar figure was kneeling outside Madam's ward. It was Isabella. Hearing their approach, she turned around, her face humble, and attempted a smile at Alexander. "Alexander, you're here."
"What are you doing here?" Alexander's eyes narrowed, his tone displeased.
"I wanted to seek forgiveness from grandmother. I wanted her to agree to start over with us."
Alexander remained silent, his gaze fixed on her.
"It's good that we lost the child. You were suspicious of me anyway, so we can start from the beginning." Isabella reached out to touch his hand, but Alexander pulled away, warning her, "That's enough, Isabella."
"Alexander, now that we've lost the child, can't I be forgiven?"
Tears welled up in Isabella's eyes, her sobs echoing the pain of a mother who had lost her child, begging a man to regain his love.
Victoria listened in silence, feeling increasingly uncomfortable. She wanted to enter the ward, but the few meters that separated her from the door seemed insurmountable.
"Vicky, please, I've already lost a child. Don't let me lose Alexander as well. Could you ask him to give me another chance?" Isabella turned to Victoria, still on her knees.
Victoria's heart clenched. Isabella's words were a cruel reminder that the child had been lost because of her.
"You don't have to make it difficult for her. She has nothing to do with this right from the start." To Victoria's surprise, Alexander suddenly spoke up.
She looked at him, her eyes filling with warmth. Was he defending her? Wasn't he planning to have another child with Isabella? Why would he say such things to her?
"Isabella," Sebastian called out. He had run up from downstairs, saw Isabella kneeling there, paused, and immediately ran over.
"Sebastian, can you also plead with Alexander for forgiveness with me? Please, I truly love Alexander. I can't lose him." Isabella's plea grew more desperate as she saw Sebastian.
Sebastian, however, couldn't bring himself to meet Alexander's gaze. He was well aware of Isabella's intentions. And Victoria was there too.
"Come back with me. The doctor says you're very weak right now and need rest," Sebastian said.
"I won't," Isabella replied.
"Sebastian, if you really can't handle it, don't mind if I make the decision for you as a friend," Alexander interjected, walking towards the door of the hospital room. He turned to Victoria, who was still holding the flowers. "Aren't you coming over?"
Victoria was jolted back to reality and lowered her head as she walked past Isabella.
"Victoria, you can't treat me like this. You've already killed my child." Isabella's words rang out as she suddenly grabbed Victoria's wrist.
