Chapter 327 When Did You Realize?

It was reason enough. Nicole raised her hand and realized hitting the face was much 

easier than hitting the legs. When Alaric was sitting, she had to stand on her tiptoe just 

to hit his legs, but now that he was crouching, Nicole could easily hit him without doing 

anything. Still, coming face-to-face with him was scary. She was a bit afraid to slap him. 

in the face. The girl looked at him sheepishly and took a step back. 

Alaric did not miss that. “What’s wrong?” he asked. 

The girl pouted. “You might fight back.” He’s so tall, and his hands are so big. If he hits 

me, I’m dead. The thought of that filled her with dread, and she quickly ran to her 

brother. 

Alaric had already prepared himself to get hit in the face, yet Nicole decided to run 

away at the very last second. He heaved a sigh of relief, but for some reason, he was 

disappointed. The man wondered how it would feel for his daughter to hit him. He 

thought it would feel alright, but then, he realized that notion was a bit weird. 

No one would like to get hit unless that someone was a masochist, and he was 

certainly not that someone. He tossed that idea away and stared at the emergency 

room. I hope she’s fine. I can give anything for that.

Nicole went to her brother, and Nathan took care of her like an adult. He pulled her onto 

the seat and wiped her tears away. Then, the boy glanced at Alaric. The tall and 

muscular man was staring at the ground, looking lonely. “We’re staying away from him, 

Nicole.” 

Nicole, who once wanted Alaric to be her father, now changed her mind. She nodded in 

agreement. “Okay, Nathan.” 

The boy heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that she finally wasn’t arguing. Mommy should 

feel relieved now. She used to be unable to change Nicole’s mind. The thought of their 

mother made him worry. 

A long while later, another person appeared in the corridor. Alaric looked up and saw 

Norwood, and he frowned. “Why are you here?” 

Norwood looked past him and saw the kids. When the kids saw him, they realized he 

was a part of the group that hurt their mother, and they shot him glares. 

Norwood knew why they did that, and he was amused. Oh, so they hate me now, huh? 

He then looked at Alaric. “When did you find out?” 

Alaric shot him an icy look. “None of your business.”

Norwood shrugged languidly. “Just concerned.” 

“I don’t have time to talk about this.”

Victoria was still in the emergency room, and the kids now hated him. All the effort 

Alaric did up until now was wasted, which was unacceptable. More importantly, he 

needed Victoria to be safe, or he would skin West alive. 

Norwood noticed the displeasure in his voice, and he felt a little resigned. “I didn’t think 

things would get that bad, but we can’t change the past. How is she now?” 

Alaric pressed his lips into a thin line and stayed silent, seemingly not wanting to 

respond to him. Norwood said nothing and sat down, but a long while later, Alaric said, 

“You shouldn’t stay here.” 

“Even when I’m saying nothing?” 

“Yes.” 

“That’s a bit too much, don’t you think?” 

“So what?” 

Nothing. It’s not like I can do anything about it. Regardless, Norwood didn’t leave. After

a long while, Alaric couldn’t take it anymore, so he glared at Norwood. “Don’t make me 

hit you.” If it weren’t because of the children, Alaric would have dragged him off a while. 

ago. 

“Really? Do it, then.” 

Alaric shot him an icy look, and he coldly said, “You think I won’t?” 

At this moment, the light on the emergency room’s sign went out, and someone came 

out. The look on Alaric’s face changed instantly, and he ran toward the doctor. The kids. 

quickly got up and waddled toward the doctor as well. 

“How is she, doctor?” Alaric asked. His tone was slightly gentler than before, though he 

sounded a bit hoarse. 

The doctor looked at them and asked, “Is anyone of you her family?” 

“I am,” said Alaric. 

“Her head’s injured, but she doesn’t seem to be in grave danger for now. We’ll need to 

observe her for a bit longer and perform some checks.” 

More checks? Fury glinted in Alaric’s eyes, and he hissed West’s name with malice in 

his mind. “How’s her situation?”

“Not bad, but since she got hit on the head, I suggest you wait until further checks are. 

performed.”

Alaric had a dark look on his face. That means she has to stay in the hospital for a 

while. If nothing happens, then she’ll be safe. But if things go awry… He couldn’t bear to 

imagine the alternative. 

After that, Victoria was taken to a ward, and the kids stayed with her. The nurse hooked 

her up to an IV drip and left. 

Alaric stood beside the bed, staring at her grimly. 

“I hate you! Leave!” Nicole charged at him and thumped his legs, pushing him out of the 

room. 

A while later, when he was finally outside the room, Nathan closed the door. 

Norwood watched the whole scene unfold before him. Then, he approached Alaric and 

asked, “Are you sure they can handle things alone?” She’s just a little girl. He could’ve 

just stood there, and she wouldn’t even be able to move him. Yet, he played along, 

anyway.

Seeing Alaric wasn’t responding, Norwood asked, “Is Victoria still in a coma?”

When Alaric heard that, he finally woke up from his daze and answered, “That won’t be 

a problem. The two are pretty smart.” 

Even without him, the two children were clever enough to respond to many situations, 

especially Nathan. He must have a way of taking care of his mother. However… 

“But they are still children,” Norwood argued. “What if something happens-” 

Alaric interrupted him. “I will watch over them.” 

“Fine.” 

“You’re not needed here. Please leave.” 

When Norwood noticed Alaric wasn’t listening to his advice, he felt like there was no 

point in continuing this conversation, but… He thought about it and decided to sit on 

the long benches in the hallway, quietly waiting. 

Alaric stood outside the ward, leaning against the wall while taking out his phone to call 

Terrance.
