Chapter 984 We're Going Home
Victoria seemed dead, her frail body continuously falling.
Until a pure smile flashed before her eyes, Victoria suddenly opened her eyes and pushed upwards with all her might.
When Alexander looked up, he saw that scene.
Immediately, his heart seemed to hang in the air, and he stood up at once.
"You can't go over there, you have to wait for her to surrender."
"Get lost." Frank quickly stepped forward and directly knocked the person to the ground.
Even though he was the boss here, no one would care.
Soon, Alexander's long legs stepped onto the stairs.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they suddenly fell silent, and then everyone straightened up in shock.
There were two people in the water, Alexander's hand grasping Victoria's wrist.
Victoria couldn't see anything.
When she felt a man's strength on her hand, she just struggled desperately, causing splashes everywhere.
Until Alexander whispered in her ear, "It's me."
She stopped struggling and was held by him as they surfaced.
She took deep breaths, as if she had finally come back to life, but said nothing.
People surrounded them, but no one dared to get closer.
Only Frank stepped forward to protect them.
Edward immediately called Olivia. "We found Victoria."
"Found her?"
Olivia had more to say, but Edward didn't hear it because Victoria, who was being held in the fish tank, suddenly started struggling again.
"Tori, Tori."
Victoria just kept struggling, making incoherent sounds but not saying a word.
Alexander, soaking wet, held Victoria in his arms.
Looking at her haggard face, his Adam's apple tightened, and he turned his gaze to the people outside.
Later, Victoria fainted in his arms, wrapped in Frank's suit jacket, and was carried out by Alexander.
Diana had already received the news and was standing by the car.
Victoria, looking lifeless, was in Alexander's arms.
She was even more frail and haggard than before.
Diana watched her get closer and closer, tears streaming down her face.
No one could imagine what Victoria had gone through these days.
After getting in the car, Alexander still held Victoria.
He instructed the people outside, "Clean this place up; it needs to be torn down."
"Yes."
Frank nodded in agreement.
The car quickly left.
They didn't go home but headed straight to the hospital.
Following instructions, Diana immediately found someone to bring clothes and other necessities for Victoria to the hospital.
After Victoria was carried over, Alexander first took her to a room to change her clothes and dry her hair.
His hand gently stroked Victoria's hair.
Her hair had grown a bit longer.
Now, seeing her looking like she could leave him at any moment, and recalling what Frank said those girls mentioned, even though he was a strong man, tears welled up in his eyes.
But these tears would end.
He picked her up and carried her, now in clean clothes, to the examination bed.
Diana was standing outside.
When she saw him come out, she asked, "Alexander, did Victoria faint from the beginning?"
Alexander stood by the window, watching Victoria being pushed into the machine, but his mind was filled with the image of Victoria being thrown into that huge fish tank.
At first, Victoria didn't struggle at all, just like that foreigner said.
Some people would faint and then be woken up, only to be thrown back in again, several times over a period.
Some girls never gave up and eventually stopped struggling.
However, that place could always break a person's spirit.
Was Victoria waiting to faint from lack of oxygen?
Why didn't she say she was the mistress of the Harrington family?
She could speak.
Frank said those girls heard her call out Strawberry.
Alexander's hand clenched tightly, but he couldn't say anything.
Victoria didn't want to speak, not a single word.
What exactly was Victoria's condition now?
What had Victoria gone through?
What had those bastards done to her?
Why wouldn't she speak?
Why did she struggle desperately when she heard his voice?
Something must have happened to make her like this.
Heartless creatures, not afraid of death, were they?
Alexander's eyes were bloodshot.
He knew he couldn't be soft-hearted anymore.
Especially later, when the doctor confirmed Victoria's blindness.
Diana accompanied Victoria back to the ward.
Victoria sat quietly on the hospital bed.
Diana waved her hand in front of her eyes, but she didn't move, just sat there quietly.
Probably because she felt Diana's hand was soft, a girl's hand, she held on and didn't let go.
"Victoria?"
Diana looked at her and called her softly.
But Victoria didn't make a sound; her mouth moved slightly, but didn't smile.
Diana suddenly felt extreme heartache.
She didn't know what Victoria had gone through. She only knew that if she were truly blind, she would go crazy.
But now, Victoria just sat there quietly, her small face looking so calm.
She could only hold Victoria's hand and sit quietly by the bed.
When Alexander came in again, he only said one word, "Out."
Diana stood up, "Alexander, is Victoria blind?"
"Yes, you go back and comfort our elders."
Alexander had been looking at Victoria the whole time, his words steady.
"Okay."
Diana could see he wanted to be alone with Victoria.
But just as Diana was about to let go, her hand was held tightly.
Diana looked down and then at Victoria.
Alexander saw it too.
Victoria was holding onto Diana and wouldn't let go.
Diana used her eyes to ask Alexander, and Alexander took firm steps forward.
He separated Diana's hand from Victoria's, one finger at a time.
Victoria panicked, looking up, but she couldn't see anything.
Victoria seemed uneasy, unwilling to let go.
"You can go," Alexander said weakly.
Diana bit her lower lip, tears already uncontrollably streaming down.
"Victoria seems very insecure, Alexander, how about..."
"I am her husband."
Alexander only said this one sentence.
Diana knew they had been apart for too long.
She knew Alexander was also in pain, so she had to lower her head and leave heartlessly.
Victoria took two deep breaths.
When she heard the door, she came to her senses and immediately tried to pull her hand away, but Alexander held it tightly, so tightly that Victoria's arm couldn't move.
Alexander sat beside Victoria, holding her hand firmly.
This time, no one could separate them, not even herself.
He slowly looked at her, seeing her humiliated, red-eyed appearance, and thought of the doctor's words.
She had no chance of regaining her sight. Victoria's brain had suffered severe trauma, and even her hearing had deteriorated.
Alexander couldn't help but shed silent tears, then he could no longer control himself.
He hugged her shoulders and gently pressed her into his arms, not allowing her to struggle, whispering to her, "Tori, it's okay now, we're going home."
