Chapter 120: He hurt himself protecting me.
Victoria was startled to see Nick’s brow cross with a fierce glare, then lift his leg and kick away.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
A few punks knew that they were no match and didn’t dare to linger on, getting up from the ground and leaving in a sorry state with their arms around each other.
“Mr. Andrews! Get to the hospital.”
Victoria’s fingertips were trembling slightly as she held Nick’s hand.
But wearing high heels was inconvenient for her, making her legs even more painful.
Nick frowned, seeing Victoria directly throw away her high heels and walk barefoot. A rare hint of panic appeared on her face.
Nick was injured because of her, which would only kill her if Mrs. Andrews knew about it.
And thanks to him tonight, she owed another big favor.
She followed and got into Nick’s car while pushing Kevin to the passenger side as soon as she could.
“You’re coming with me too!”
Declan stepped on the gas in a hurry and the car was soon headed towards the nearest hospital.
On the other hand, the driver couldn’t wait for Victoria to come back, so Linda told the driver.
“Go ahead, I’ll call her, maybe she’ll go over in someone else’s car.”
The driver had no choice because the party was about to start and it was not good to be late.
So the car drove towards the mansion as well.
Linda watched the place get closer and closer, a glimmer of longing, of excitement appearing in her eyes.
Having only sneaked around and watched from afar before, this would be the first time she’d met Nick in such a public and important setting.
The last time they met, a fluctuation appeared in the bottom of his eyes, but that fluctuation was complicated and even had a hint of boredom.
It didn’t matter, as long as she continued to work hard, he would like her and cherish her when she stood next to him one day.
A flush of red rose to her cheeks, and her palms were tense with a layer of sweat.
She took a deep breath, making an effort to adopt an elegant and composed posture.”
As for Victoria, it’s better if she doesn’t come tonight.
And by now Victoria had arrived at the hospital, her forehead in a cold sweat from the rush.
The doctor was a little surprised to see her in this outfit that she was obviously going to a party in, but there was no denying that she was beautiful.
“Doctor, please check, his hand should need stitches.”
Nick hadn’t been feeling too good; after all, this was the first time he’d been hurt by someone else, and it was a woman he’d known for a short time.
He had no intention of blocking the cut, he just saw her exposed white back and thought it would be ugly if there was an extra scar there.
So the body, faster than the mind, blocked the sharp dagger.
At this moment, seeing Victoria so anxious that her complexion changed, he found it somewhat amusing.
It seemed like this was the first time I’d seen her show such an expression since I’d known her.
Even that first night when he woke up in bed, she was so calm, he thought she’d never have any other emotions.
Such thoughts brought him a subtle, almost imperceptible sense of pleasure.
Victoria’s cell phone rang at that moment, it was Edward.
She watched Nick’s wound being stitched up and went to the hallway to answer the phone as well.
“Grandpa, I’m really sorry, Mr….. … Nick he hurt his palm protecting me and is in the hospital getting stitches, we probably won’t be able to come tonight.”
As soon as Edward heard that Nick had finally come to his senses and was willing to bear the injury for Victoria, there was no longer any sense of blame.
“Tori, you’re not hurt, are you?”
As for Nick, he’s a man. He’ll be fine with a few bruises.
“I’m fine, but he’s hurt worse, and it’s my fault.”
“No no no, he’s your husband, it’s only right that he protects you, Nick did a good job this time, so you’ll be there to take care of her, and next time there’ll be a chance to introduce you to someone else as well, there’s no rush, and don’t beat yourself up.”
Victoria’s heart warmed as the guilt in her heart worsened.
Inside the hospital room, the doctor had already made several stitches, and Nick was a little annoyed when he heard his cell phone ring and saw that it was his grandfather calling.
If he didn’t go to the banquet, he was only afraid that Grandpa would think he was deliberately avoiding that woman again!
