However, the smile disappeared from her face after just a moment, because she
started worrying about Alaric again.
Being an observant man, Terrance immediately noticed the drastic and instantaneous
change in her facial expression. So, he quickly comforted her, saying, “Relax, Miss
Selwyn. Seriously, don’t worry about it. Mr. Cadogan never does anything that he isn’t
confident about.”
“I know that.” Victoria nodded. Having known Alaric for such a long time, she knew of
course that he would never do anything that he wasn’t confident about. Still, it was one
thing to know about it, but it was another thing to be worried about him.
In reality, though, their journey was smooth without a hitch because the man had
stayed behind to deal with things over there. After arriving at a safe location, Terrance
escorted Victoria and the kids into a room.
The journey here had taken them a long time. So, when Terrance was about to leave,
Victoria stopped him, asking, “When will he presumably be back?”
“Well…” Terrance shook his head. “I’m not really sure about this. He’ll be back once he is
done dealing with the stuff over there.”

“Hasn’t he given you an answer yet?”

“Miss Selwyn, you traveled with me all the way here, during which time my phone rang
only once. It was the phone call from Miss Jones, and you know that.”
The light in Victoria’s eyes slowly dimmed at Terrance’s reply.
Just then, Terrance’s phone happened to start ringing.
Victoria’s eyes lit up. “Is that him-‘
Terrance took out his phone to take a look. Then, he replied, “No, it’s not him.”
The light in Victoria’s eyes vanished at once. “I got it.”
After taking a look at his phone, Terrance tentatively asked, “Miss Selwyn, can I go
ahead with my work if there’s nothing else?”
Victoria nodded. “Sure, just go ahead.”
Terrance left soon after that, whereas Victoria let out a sigh before closing the door of
the room.
The room was neat and clean. At first, she thought this room was intended for them,

but after getting in, she noticed there were signs of daily life in the room. There were
men’s clothes hanging in the closet; she recognized at a glance that these were
Alaric’s. In other words, Terrance had taken them directly to Alaric’s own room.

It was already getting late now. After running around all day with her, the two kids were
terribly exhausted. At this moment, they were lying sprawled on the couch. Seeing her
come back, they both called out to her in a weak voice, “Mommy.”
It simply pained Victoria to see them like this. Just when she wanted to go over to
them, she suddenly recalled something. Turning around, she trotted back to push the
door open just in time to see Terrance return. “Mr. Levane, my daughter-”
“By the way, Miss Selwyn, the doctor is already on his way here and will probably arrive
in a moment. Would you like to get something to eat before getting Miss Nicole’s foot
treated?”
In reality, after spending all day on the run, Victoria was already so tired that she had no
appetite for food. Well, that’s okay for me, but not for the kids, she thought. Hence, she
nodded. “Yeah, okay. Please get something for them to eat.”
Soon after that, there was food delivered to their room.
Making use of the time in between, Victoria helped the twins change into clothes

prepared by the servants and even washed their feet. When the doctor arrived, Nicole
was sitting on the couch, eating with a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, while
her pink and tender feet were swinging back and forth in the air.
At seeing this, the doctor instantly got the picture of what was wrong with the girl.
“Miss Selwyn, the doctor is here,” Terrance reminded Victoria.
Victoria signaled Nicole to put down her bowl, upon which the girl immediately set it
down on the dining table. After shifting a little away from the dining table, she sat
obediently.
The doctor couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of this. “Relax. It’s a private
consultation, anyway. Just make yourself at home,” he said before crouching down in
front of Nicole. He gently held her right ankle in his hand, asking, “Did you hurt this
foot?”
The moment he held her ankle, Nicole nervously clutched her shirt and nodded.
The doctor examined her fair ankle before gently pressing a particular spot. All at once,
Nicole trembled with pain and cried out, “Mommy!”
Victoria’s heart ached instantly, and she stretched out her hands for her to hold onto.

“Looks like it hurts here. How about this side? Does it hurt as well?” The doctor spent
some time examining Nicole’s ankle. Then, he announced, “The girl is fine; she just
sprained her ankle, that’s all. I’ll prescribe some medicine for her. She’ll recover with a
few days‘ rest, but be careful not to let her be up and about for the next few days.”
Victoria thanked the doctor, who then prescribed some medicine for Nicole before
leaving.
This took over half an hour. After the doctor had left, Victoria carried Nicole back to
where she had sat just now. While doing that, she instructed the girl, “Next time, if you
hurt yourself, you must tell me immediately. Don’t try to bear with it on your own. You
understand?”
Having learned her lesson this time, Nicole nodded obediently. “I understand, Mommy.”
“Alright. Now hurry and finish your food before going to bed with your brother.”
Nicole picked up her spoon, but she didn’t move after that. Instead, she stared at
Victoria, asking, “Mommy, why isn’t Mr. Night with us? Where is he?”
That’s my question, too. Victoria also wanted to ask about this. It had been a long time
since they came back here, not to mention the time they had spent on their journey.
And yet, there was still no word from Alaric. She was worried sick about the man right

now, but she couldn’t let it show in front of the kids. Therefore, she had no choice but to
pat Nicole’s head and explain softly, “Mr. Night has something that he’s busy dealing
with. Just go to sleep tonight, and when you wake up tomorrow, you’ll get to see him,
okay?”
“Okay.”
After Victoria got the two little ones to sleep, the room was finally silent. After making
sure that they wouldn’t wake up again, she got up, opened the door, and walked out of
the room.
This place appeared to be a small base of operations, and it was well–built in terms of
structure. It wasn’t easy to enter from the outside, nor was it easy for the people inside
to get out. Not only that, it was guarded everywhere. Seeing her come out, everyone
nodded to her politely and greeted her, saying, “Miss Selwyn.”
She ran into a person almost every few steps she took, and all of them spoke to her. At
first, she nodded and smiled at them when they greeted her, but as this went on, this
became really too much for her. She looked at them embarrassedly, saying, “Just go
ahead with your business. I’m just walking around, so you guys don’t have to care about
me.”
Their leader stepped forward and replied, “Miss Selwyn, you can walk around here if you
Chapter 411 She Sprained Her Ankle
want to, but you’d better not go beyond this gate. Mr. Cadogan is yet to return, which

means that the danger isn’t over yet. So, before he comes back, you’d better stay in your
room or move around under our watch.”
If Victoria were to hear this from Bane’s men, she would only think they were trying to
keep her confined, but thanks to the different environment, Alaric’s men made it sound
like they were trying to keep her safe. At the thought of this, she pursed her lips and
began thinking seriously. Am I being too unfair to Bane? But had he not had me
confined, my relationship with him wouldn’t have come to this.
