Chapter 955
"It was really exaggerated! At that time, I really doubted if I was worthless. How could a biological father take care of his own daughter like that? Haha... that's why I've always believed in love..." Victoria said.
She yearned for love as well!
Although she had experienced some twists and turns, but at that moment, she felt that she had found the right person!
As she stayed in Trevor's arms, Victoria was once again deeply embraced by the long-lost sense of hope.
"I really hope that we can live like this forever, that we will be understanding towards each other, forgive each other, take care of each other, grow old together, live peacefully without quarrelling..."
It was like listening to his parents' love story, Trevor could also relate to it. Although he grew up with loving parents, he had not been paid much attention to. As he was an elder brother, he had the responsibility to take care of his sister. In other words, when the family of four of them headed out, his father did not take care of him, nor did his mother take care of his sister, but his father would take care of his mother. No matter how young he was, his father had instilled the concept of being a "macho man" in him. Therefore, his sister was his responsibility!
However, similarly, apart from being envious, he did not feel unfortunate of his life. He even had the same dream every day. He hoped that one day, he would meet such a woman who he could create the loving relationship like his parents had, with him.
As he softly patted Victoria's hair, Trevor felt that the both of them were truly a match made in heaven.
Although he was physically and mentally exhausted those days, but he could persist and endure it. Also, every time he saw her, he always felt energetic.
He said, "I also believe it! As long as we work hard together and never give up, I believe that the future days will definitely be better!"
More than once, Trevor was again determined with the decision he made in his heart. In that moment, they felt unprecedentedly close to each other as they interlocked their fingers.
In the evening, as expected, the person who showed up was none other than Holger. The moment Selena saw him, she was irritated and was getting impulsive suddenly. Yet, on the surface, she looked extremely calm.
"Ahem, ahem... Mr. Crouch, why are you here?"
"Miss Duff, I heard that you are not feeling too well. Master Trevor asked me to come and see if you needed anything. Are you feeling any better? Doctor Andrews is a little busy. He will be here soon!" said Holger.
His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, just like he was carrying out a regular business affair.
As he looked at the woman who was as pale as snow in front of him, Holger didn't know why he didn't have a good impression of her although she was remarkably beautiful! Perhaps, he really hated delicate women who only had men in their eyes, which had always gave him the illusion that he had existed in the wrong era! It simply made people feel too uncomfortable! Shouldn't women in the modern era be independent?
Selena let out a dry laugh.
She then said, "No, there's nothing wrong with me! I'm fine! Ahem, I guess it's Nina who reported nonsense again! She gets nervous easily over small things, and always worried about me! She had even bothered Mr. Crouch to come over. Please, have a seat!"
"Nina, serve us coffee!"
After asking Holger to take a seat, Selena chatted casually and asked, "What's Trevor busy doing recently? I haven't seen him in a long time! Why didn't he come with you?"
Holger shot a glance at her indifferently. He despised her little tricks. She must have used that trick quite often! It was a pity that the servant who took care of her, also had to take the blame for her.
The woman looked overly glamorous on the outside, but she was actually extremely selfish on the inside!
He always felt that it was because of her ignorance that Trevor was burdened with a lot things and had wasted so many years. Holger had never liked her. She had not bothered Trevor for quite some time then, and he knew that she must know of what was actually happening. If she had asked directly, he might even have told her the truth.
He curled his lower lips slightly and said, "Master Trevor is occupied with work. He has prior arrangements today!"
"What kind of arrangement? Can't you just tell me straight?" Selena asked.
The harder Selena pushed him, the tighter Holger's lips were. He avoided the question and said, "Master Trevor doesn't like others to ask about his whereabouts. He didn't tell me either!"
Selena smiled, but couldn't help but scolded him in her heart, "What a sly old man!"
"Haha, Mr. Crouch, you're so tight-lipped! If you don't know, who else in the world would know? No wonder Trevor trusts you so much!" said Selena.
Selena had beaten around the bush
net
for a long time but Holger still didn't say anything. She only knew that Victoria was injured and Trevor often went to the hospital. Other than that, Selena couldn't get a single detail or even anything important out of him. She was so frustrated.
At that moment, Nina had brought out the coffee. When she put them down, she was a little too forceful and accidentally spilled out a few drops. She apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Crouch. Did you get scalded?"
Nina was half-kneeling as she instinctively took a tissue from the table and wiped it for him. Holger waved his hand and smiled indifferently. "It's okay, it's okay. I'll do it myself..."
At that brief moment of interaction, Selena's gaze fell upon their palms, which touched each other. In a split second, she had a thought...
Day after day, there was still no effective progress, so Selena felt more and more irritated. On that day, she finally couldn't help but called up Trevor. She pretended to care and comforted him.
"Trevor, are you okay? I heard that she had an accident. Is she okay? Accidents happen everywhere. Don't be too sad, you must be optimistic!" "Oh, everything's okay now!"
Trevor said it casually, but Selena's brain was already buzzing, "Oh, that's good!"
She didn't dare to ask more. After they chatted for a while, Selena hung up the phone. She suddenly felt a knot in her heart.
What did he mean? Was she not dead? Or was she... not disabled?
Wasn't it said that Victoria was seriously injured? Would she be so lucky to be completely cured? If she was really okay... then did Selena miss her best opportunity once again?
What should she do?
The more she tried to make sense of the confusing situation, the more anxious she got. Selena turned and dialled Holger's number.
"Mr. Crouch, can I trouble you to come over tonight? Well, I am afraid that Trevor is busy. I need your help for something. Is eight o'clock
fine?"
After confirming, Selena took out a small bottle from a locked drawer.
Then, she pinched a bit of powder and put it in the water, and fed it to the caton the floor. After a while, the cat began to rub against the floor and purred.
"Meow... Meow..."
Nina saw the scene as she approached. She stopped in her tracks and hid behind the wall. Then, she saw Selena putting something in the sugar can. She held her breath as she cautiously went around the kitchen. Her gaze had a hint of
indescribable confusion.
In the evening, when Holger went over, he brought a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket as usual.
Just as he handed the things to Nina, they heard a loud commotion that came from upstairs. They then went upstairs. When they entered the room, they saw Selena knocking over a plate.
"Miss, are you alright? Don't move. Let me clean it..." said Nina.
"It's okay. I haven't made coffee in a long time, and I'm getting a little rusty at it! Mr. Crouch is here. Sit down and have a cup of coffee first!" Selena
said.
When Nina got up, she saw two empty coffee cups already on the table. At that moment, a slight gurgle came from the coffee machine on the other side. In a flash, Nina immediately understood!
