Departure with a Belly Chapter 331

Chapter 331

In the end, Nathan placed his small hands in the large, warm hand and was led out of

the room.

Since Terrance didn’t know what the children liked to eat, he bought all sorts of things,

basically some of every kind. That was why the table was overfilled with food and

snacks. Even Nicole was shocked at the number of things to eat when she was carried

to the table.

“Mr. Night, are all these for Nathan and me?”

“That’s right.”

Then, Alaric took out two white napkins and placed them before Nicole and Nathan.

Having taken care of these two for quite some time, although he still hadn’t gotten to

know their preferences, Terrance knew their eating habits and utensils very well.

Hence, he also bought the other necessary things on the way.

In the meantime, Nicole and Nathan sat there, watching Alaric prepare everything for

them.

Nicole’s attitude also changed from ignoring him to being stubborn and had gradually

let down her guard. She even began ordering him, “Mr. Night, I want to eat that!”

“Sure.” Alaric placed the thing she wanted onto her plate.

“And that too!”

“Sure.”

“And the braised ribs on the far end.”

“No problem.”

On the other end, Alaric ate nothing and fully cooperated with Nicole while serving

Nathan. However, Nathan was a shy child, and though he seemed unwilling to let Alaric

serve him, he still politely thanked Alaric.

While looking at the two well-mannered children, Alaric could not help but compliment.

how well Victoria had raised them these past five years. Just how much effort had she

put into raising them?

At that thought, Alaric glanced sideways at Victoria on the bed. She was still

unconscious and hadn’t woken up since she was brought here.

Frowning, Alaric wondered how long she was going to be unconscious.

“Mr. Night!” The little girl’s sharp and loud voice pulled him out of his thoughts, and he

turned around to see her looking at him with a displeased look.

“Mr. Night, what’s the matter?”

It was then that Alaric realized he had fallen into a daze. “I’m sorry, Nicole. I was

thinking about something and got lost in my thoughts. What would you like to eat? I’ll

grab it for you.”

While pouting, Nicole instructed, “I’m thirsty. I want soup.”

“Okay. I’ll serve you some soup.” Then, he got up and served her some soup.

When Victoria came too, her fingers on the bed shook slightly but couldn’t move, and

her mind was still fuzzy.

All she could hear was a muffled voice constantly ringing in her ears.

“I want this one!”

“I want that too!”

“I’m thirsty. I want soup!”

“Ouch! It’s too hot. You’re so silly, Mr. Night. You have to cool it down first!”

In her hazy state, she thought that voice sounded so much like her daughter, but Nicole

never behaved in such a way. When had she ever fussed over hot soup and asked

someone to cool it down for her?

While thinking of that, Victoria felt resigned but also affectionate toward her daughter.

But before she could think of something else, she was engulfed by darkness again.

When she woke up again, she was more clear-minded than before, and the continuous

voices she thought were hallucinations had also disappeared. The surroundings were

so quiet that she could only hear the machines beeping.

After accustoming herself to the environment, she opened her eyes and saw all white.

It was already nighttime, and the room was only illuminated by a gentle, dim light,

which was why she didn’t feel any discomfort after opening her eyes.

Looking around the room, Victoria soon noticed an unwelcome guest sitting beside the

bed-Alaric.

Her dazed mind instantly remembered what had happened after she saw Alaric. She

had lost consciousness after her head was bashed into something, and she had no

recollection of what happened next.

It seemed like she had probably gotten injured then, so Alaric brought her to the

hospital. The hospital… but what about Nicole and Nathan?

Victoria was lying quietly, but she immediately wanted to sit up from the bed when she

thought of her children. Instead, her movement woke Alaric, who was resting beside

the bed, up.

When Alaric opened his black eyes, she immediately met his gaze, and a moment later,

Alaric got up to support her.

“You’re awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” His voice sounded deep and

raspy, seemingly because he was tired from staying up all night.

But Victoria’s first question was, “Where’s Nathan and Nicole?”

When Alaric heard that, he was slightly taken aback. She asked about the children

when she woke up, which meant she was very worried about them. “Don’t worry.”

Then, he used his chin to gesture behind her, and Victoria looked in that direction.

Two children were cuddled together under the warm night light on the small bed,

covered by a thick blanket and Alaric’s coat. Since the light shining on them was too

beautiful, it created a scenic view for Victoria.

But when she saw her two children here, Victoria felt relaxed because she was worried

about them and didn’t expect them to be here either. More importantly, she didn’t

expect Alaric would agree for them to be here at the hospital.

“Rather than being worried about them, you should be more concerned about yourself.”

Alaric’s voice drew her back from her thoughts.

After ensuring her children’s safety, Victoria instantly became displeased and gave

Alaric a cold stare. “Where are the others?”

Alaric was surprised she would ask that. “I brought you here myself.”

“Yourself?”

“Nathan and Nicole helped.” He immediately discarded his credit and let the two little

fellows take the credit as well.

As he expected, Victoria glanced at the two children after hearing that, and her gaze

also seemed gentler when she looked at the two sleeping children.

In the meantime, Alaric sat on the side, watching her expression and gaze. He

tightened his fists to try and suppress the jealousy boiling inside him. “They’re great

kids,” he said.

Those words finally brought Victoria’s attention back, and she sneered before snapping

at him, “I’ve painstakingly raised them for five years. Of course, they’re the best.”

Alaric could hear the meaning in her voice, but thinking she was hurt and had just

woken up, he didn’t want to continue this topic because it might cause her to get too

riled up. So, he changed the topic. “How are you feeling? Do you feel sick?”

After what happened tonight, Victoria didn’t feel like maintaining the mutual respect

between them anymore, so she retorted, “Looking at you makes me sick.”

Like what she envisioned, Alaric’s expression fell, and she smiled. “So, what now? Are

you going to leave?”
