"Madam, the results of the cake test you asked for have come out" said the housekeeper. Then he glanced at Victor in the hospital bed. "No problem, and no pollen detected in the cake."
He handed Valerie a laptop with a USB flash drive in an archive bag.
Valerie accepted it and sighed. "Thank you, Uncle."
"Together." He was rather surprised to see the skinny and prettier Valerie. It felt like it had only been a few days not seeing, why was the change so striking?
"In that case, I go first, Madam, Sir." Easing his shock, he slightly bowed and said goodbye.
"All right."
With his consent, he immediately walked out of the ward.
After she left, Valerie walked over to Victor's bedside with the bag. "Victor, you've heard for yourself that the cake I didn't add pollen, so your allergy has nothing to do with the cake I made. It's already proof that I didn't hurt you."
Victor raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Yes." Yeah."
Valerie pouting. "Don't blame anyone else again before there's clear evidence."
"Even if there's no problem with the cake, it doesn't mean something that makes me faint isn't you."
Valerie was angry. "You.."
Valerie took a deep breath. He should be more used to his temperament. Valerie calmed her emotions and ignored them. He took his laptop to the couch. The disk contained surveillance video of the last few days that he requested.
The Spare family mansion has high security. Not only were many guards patrolling, but cameras were installed on the inside and outside. Even the runah that he and Victor had a lot of surveillance cameras.
Valerie calmly looked at the surveillance video on the laptop. The first was a video at a time when many maids were pacing around to prepare rapidly. He clicked on the video on the outside, there was a waiter delivering food. It was the waiter Nuella sent to invite to the banquet.
Valerie frowned. Is this related to the waiter?
It's obvious that Nuella doesn't like Victor in the novel. Did he send this servant to hurt or get rid of Victor?
Possibly yes and no.
However, Valerie's big guess was of course fixed on Nuella. It's just, he doesn't have any solid evidence.
Valerie continued watching. But what he saw next, something made him angry.
Valerie looked at Lucher who was snapped by the children at the banquet. The toys he had brought were stolen. Lucher tried to take it back, but he fell to the ground. A few children surrounded him, they stepped on Lucher's body and laughed.
The guests just glanced. The sight of Lucher being bullied by the other children seemed normal and no one cared or reprimanded.
Valerie bit her lips in anger.
Not until there, they broke Lucher's toy. There was a child who most prominently bullied Lucher, it was a child who still belonged to the Spare family.
The boy was the son of Victor's brother. However, he did not live here, but in the Spare residence. He was very pampered, and of course the elder Spare's favorite grandson.
The other kids are the boy's playmates. Clearly, this was not the first time they had bullied Lucher.
Valerie turned off the recording. He looked up and looked at Victor. He hesitates to speak up to tell the cause of his allergy. Moreover, it has no clear evidence. He just thought about telling her later.
***
On this day, Victor was discharged from the hospital. The red spots on his face had already disappeared a lot.
When the two got home, the room was cleaned. In fact, there are slight improvements that make the room more lively and bright.
After three days in the infirmary, Valerie felt more comfortable returning to this house. He lay down on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly he felt his stomach rumble.
"You're amnesia?"
"Huh?" sahut Valerie is confused.
"I told you once in the hospital, once I'm cured, you can go."
Valerie was empty and laughing. "Are you serious?"
"Of course."
Valerie didn't expect him to be this cruel. If Valerie was real, maybe she would happily leave this place because of her regret of marrying Victor, but now it is her. He was determined to stay with this man. He only thought of the joke when Victor said that he left after he was healed.
"All right." Thinking of the real Valerie family, it might be the right decision to leave her for a while. "When I go, take good care of yourself. Don't be so grumpy."
Valerie was worried that she would suffer further after she left.
"As long as you're not here, my mood will always be good."
Hearing that, it was even more convincing Valerie to leave. He stood up from the sofa. He had no intention of packing his clothes. The clothes were very large, and were not very suitable if worn on his now smaller body. He just put some important documents and cards in his bag.
Without saying a word, Valerie exited the room carrying the items.
While descending the stairs, Valerie happens to run into Lucher who is carrying Brownie.
Seeing that Valerie was carrying the bag in her hand, Lucher felt worried. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going home." Valerie crouched down and touched her head gently. Remembering something, he said. "If anyone bullies you, you have to tell your father. They're gonna teach your dad a lesson, 'cause he's so strong."
Lucher's face looked resolute. "I am a man, and I will be strong. I can fight them."
"Oh yeah?" Given the footage, Valerie was a bit uncomfortable. Where is this little guy fighting? His opponent is many. "But you are young and small, and you need the protection of others. If you're in a bluff, you should ask an adult for help, okay?"
Lucher was silent and tightened both of his eyebrows.
"Alright, and meet your father.I'll go first. Take care of yourself." Valerie kissed his forehead. He stood up and walked away.
Lucher froze with his outstretched hand touching the kissed forehead. He stared at his back with his mouth pursed and eyes glazed over.
Lucher wanted to stop him from leaving, yet he had gone too far..
He went straight to see his father. The room was very quiet. Lucher walked over to Victor and asked. "Dad..why did he leave?"
Victor immediately opened his eyes and frowned. "What do you mean?"
"The woman, she said goodbye to me just now.." The voice complained and started crying softly.
Victor's expressionless face was shocked.
"When will he come back?"
Victor's expression was dark. "You want him back?"
"Will he not come back?" Lucher looked at his father sadly. "The cake he made was so good, if he didn't come back, would we be able to eat the delicious cake later?"
Victor's jaw is hardened. "He's just gone for a minute."
Lucher blinked and fell silent for a moment. Then he said doubt. "But he was carrying a rather large bag. Besides.he didn't say the words see you to me, Dad.."
Victor's face was drowned. Did the woman really leave? How dare he!
