Chapter 990 A Bastard Who Bought Her
But he didn't do anything else, just interlocked his fingers with hers and sat beside her.
Victoria calmed down because of his quietness and the gentle interlocking of their fingers, and she was no longer so nervous.
She didn't know how long it had been when he picked her up, and she didn't resist.
In the end, she slept between Alexander and Strawberry again and slept until dawn.
He had whispered in her ear, "Don't run away again."
But she was asleep and didn't hear it.
He only said it when she couldn't hear.
Now he wished she could run away.
Instead of sitting there blankly, feeling very helpless.
But she couldn't run away anymore.
In the morning, when she woke up again, Strawberry, beside her, had already been taken away.
She moved her hand, couldn't find anyone, then turned over, only to immediately feel a warm chest.
She was startled and immediately retreated.
"Careful."
She heard Alexander's voice.
She knew it was him.
Why hadn't he left yet?
She almost forgot he was there last night, too.
Alexander held her from behind, looking at her with a heart full of fear, murmuring, "You almost fell again, you know?"
He thought she couldn't hear him, so he just pulled her closer into his arms.
She was very stiff, but eventually, she still moved closer.
Alexander lowered his eyes, seeing that she was unwilling to lean into his arms, and kept looking at her in that position.
He wanted to see how long she could hold out.
He couldn't help but wonder, what did she think of him now?
A bastard who bought her?
He found it somewhat amusing.
How did they end up like this?
The most familiar strangers?
Alexander gently stroked her hair, and in the end, he couldn't help but pull her closer into his arms.
He would make her get used to it, even if she forgot him, he would make her see him as the closest person again.
After breakfast, Alexander held her hand and told her, "I have to go to work. Diana will come to keep you company later."
Victoria didn't say anything, but she did let out a sigh of relief after he let go of her hand.
He left, and she stood at the door, listening to the sound of the car leaving the house.
She also felt the cold wind, but this cold wind was what she longed for.
She couldn't help but walk outside, slowly, and stand in the yard.
Jenny worriedly ran to the door, afraid she would try to escape, but more afraid she would accidentally fall.
Given her current condition, it would be very difficult for her to walk out of this yard alone.
But she just walked out, and after a few steps, she stopped, just looking up.
What was she feeling there?
Jenny didn't understand.
And she was just feeling the wind.
A gust of cold wind carrying freedom, so precious.
To get this moment of freedom was also happiness.
She suddenly felt some comfort.
She thought she would never know what it felt like outside in her life.
So this is what it's like outside.
It must be winter, the wind is so cold.
Diana came out of the house, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw that the door opposite was also open. She looked at the time, then still walked in.
Curtis took a coat and was about to go out. Seeing her, he only asked, "Going out?"
"Yeah, to talk with Victoria."
She said.
"Victoria? How is she now?"
"Hard to say, she seems very insecure."
Diana shook her head, saying somewhat disappointedly.
Curtis walked out with her, and after closing the door, suddenly looked at her and asked, "What about you?"
Diana looked up at him in surprise, "What about me?"
"Do you feel secure?"
"Of course I do."
Diana was very puzzled, thought for a moment, and told him very seriously.
"That's good."
Curtis said and then left.
Diana was very confused. What did he mean by "that's good"?
But she still didn't follow him.
Their matters could only be put aside for now.
Later, Diana met Curtis on the road. Although she was driving a sports car, for some reason, she actually wanted to get into his car.
Curtis glanced at her, and as soon as the light turned green, he left.
Diana sighed, thinking, 'Why did she want to get into his car?'
It was just because the unattainable is always the best.
She thought, one day she would sleep with him again, and then leave after.
She wanted him to know what it felt like to be dumped.
When Diana arrived at Alexander and Victoria's beach house, Arabella and Eloise were sitting inside, drinking coffee.
Seeing more people in the house, Diana walked over worriedly, "Mom, Grandma, why are you two here?"
"Your grandma and I were worried, so we came to take a look. Why can't we come?"
Arabella looked at her Strawberry's expression, as if it was inappropriate for them to be here.
"No, it's just that Alexander is afraid that too many people will scare Victoria."
Diana explained.
Alexander was indeed worried that the Harrington Mansion was too crowded and noisy, and Victoria would get confused hearing too many voices every day, so he brought her to live here alone.
He always remembered that Victoria liked quietness.
"We'll leave in a while. Besides, look, isn't she fine?"
Arabella said, motioning for her to look at Eloise holding Victoria's hand, with Victoria smiling gently.
But Diana saw the confusion in Victoria's eyes and felt that Victoria was nervous inside.
"Grandma, don't squeeze Victoria's hand too hard."
Diana quickly said, then sat beside them and separated their hands.
Victoria felt relieved inside, but still tried to keep a normal expression.
She knew an elderly person had come, and people's hands were different at different ages.
At first, she didn't understand, but later she gradually figured it out.
"I don't know when she will get better."
Eloise looked at Victoria, feeling both pain and helplessness.
"Grandma, as long as we are good to Victoria, she will get better."
"She will get better."
Eloise could only clasp her hands and nod seriously.
She agreed with Diana, and she truly believed that.
Now the whole family was worried about her. How could a good person suddenly go blind?
It would be one thing if she were blind, but how could she also stop talking?
The doctor clearly said she should be able to talk, her vocal cords were not damaged.
"The doctor said she probably suffered a huge shock, that's why she stopped speaking."
Arabella saw Eloise's thoughts and said.
"What huge shock? Those bastards don't deserve to be human, they should have died long ago."
Eloise said, getting agitated again.
Victoria didn't say anything, leaned over, reached for the table, felt along the edge, then carefully picked up a hot cup.
"Grandma,"
Diana called Eloise.
Eloise came back to her senses.
Victoria was holding the coffee, as if to give it to her. The position was a bit off, but generally correct.
Eloise's eyes were immediately filled with tears, "Victoria."
"Ms. Harrington, Mr. Bryant brought Ms. Bryant to visit."
Mason Alfred came in from the outside to report.
"Mr. Bryant, Ms. Bryant? Daisy?"
