President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Chapter 117: Minimizing Damage



She held onto the car door and eased herself in.

The pain in her knees and ankles was unbearable, but she braced herself and faced Nick with politeness and detachment.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Andrews.”

A faint scent of blood spread through the air.

After she said this, she was worried that she was interrupting Nick’s office, so she sat quietly in the corner and stopped talking.

Nick’s afterimage had fallen on her knees from the moment she sat in.

The knee was still bleeding with a long gash, while the ankle was red and swollen.

If any other woman were like this, they’d probably be in pain and complaining.

Victoria, however, kept holding back, looking ahead in peace.

The car quickly passed by where Emily was, and because Gummy was so visible, Nick caught a glimpse of Emily teasing Gummy.

He couldn’t help but inquire, “What did you just run so fast for? Isn’t that your dog, why is it in my cousin’s hands?”

Knowing that Nick wasn’t sure who she was, Victoria’s mind raced.

“Oh, so that’s your cousin, I heard it’s beautiful here, so I brought my dog here to have some fun. I just ran into your cousin, she likes Gummy very much and we had a nice chat. One of Gummy’s favorite toys got lost somewhere, I’m in a hurry to look for it.”

Nick narrowed his eyes.

To prevent him from asking further questions, and knowing that he didn’t want to mention why he was here.

Victoria deftly changed the subject, “I saw your car just now, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

“Uh-huh.”

Sure enough, Nick didn’t say another word.

Soon the hospital arrived and Victoria opened the car door and limped to get out, but the pain in her foot was so bad that she tried several times to hold herself up.

In a rare moment of embarrassment, she sucked in a small breath, no longer caring about the wound on her knee, and got out of the car with a stiff upper lip.

The intense pain hit her and her face paled, but she stood outside the window and smiled at Nick.

“Thank you, Mr. Andrews.”

Nick pinched the documents and saw her limp toward the hospital doors after she said that.

This silly woman, she really would rather die than open her mouth to someone for help, her mouth is as hard as a clam shell.

He raised a hand to rub his brow.

“Declan, drive.”

Victoria enters the hospital alone, gets bandaged up, and comes out on crutches provided by the hospital, somewhat distressed.

She has to go to a party in the evening, but how else can she go in this condition?

Edward was trying to introduce her to the rest of the circle tonight, and now, like this, it would probably just embarrass him.

Victoria had some regrets that she shouldn’t have rushed back to see Nick just now.

She called Aggie and asked her to send someone to pick her up while she thought about how to get the swelling in her ankle down quickly.

Luckily, she didn’t break any bones and should be able to hold on to my heels.

Aggie was shocked to see her like this.

“Victoria, you’d better not go tonight.”

“No, please give me ice on it, I’ll drive and pick up Gummy first, and after two more hours of that, I’ll probably have to start my makeup.”

Aggie had no choice but to rush for ice.

“Mr. Andrews was pretty pissed off when he left, you really need to go tonight, so explain it to him then. Even though you may not be together in the future, it’s better not to spoil the relationship.”

Victoria didn’t have to think about it to know that Nick must be angry, she sighed and looked at her still swollen ankle.

Thinking about how I’m going to explain tonight to minimize the damage.
