But as she left her residence, she ran into Doctor Snee, who had rushed there after being called by the servants of House Frost.
"First Miss Frost, where is Lothur? Is he all right?" He asked in concern, feeling that this young man would die if he continued in this family.
Noticing the problem, Viktoria lowered her head and sighed. "Thank you for coming, Doctor Snee, but you won't be needed anymore..."
"What? Don't tell me that..." He placed one of his hands over his mouth, thinking the worst had finally happened.
"No, he's fine. Lothur can recover quickly, so he doesn't need help anymore." She informed him, seeing that that fellow seemed to have some regard for her husband.
"Sigh!"
"Can I at least see him?"
"Unfortunately, he left after he felt better, and I don't know where he went."
"I see..." He shook his head in disappointment, but because of the miraculous recovery Lothur had made the last time he was called, this doctor did not doubt Viktoria's words.
"Well, if that is the case, I will return to my clinic. But tell Lothur to look me up. Then, I will look at his situation to see if there are no problems."
She smiled at that man and thanked him for his concern.

"Viktoria..." Aiken looked at the angry face of his eldest daughter, seeing that she was about to explode with anger.
Viktoria did not give her mother or father time to say anything and pointed one of her fingers at Mabel. "Don't ever put your hands on my husband again! If you ever stand against him again, I won't hesitate to take his side against the family!"
"What are you saying?" Mabel stood up angrily. "Are you thinking you can tell me what to do, Viktoria? Don't forget, until you take your father's position; you don't decide anything in this house!"
"Darling..." Aiken said in a low voice, demonstrating his passive position in his relationship with that woman.
"Aiken, don't get involved in this matter. Our daughter is rebellious after getting involved with that no-future! She needs to hear the voice of reason!" Mabel looked at him and then at Viktoria, showing her disappointment.
Viktoria then defended Lothur. "Don't call him that! He is my husband and deserves to be respected!"
"Tsk!"
"Until a few days ago, this didn't bother you..." She looked away. "What did that brat do to you? Did he poison you by any chance? I heard that he is in contact with a poison master."
The Frost family leadership knew about Lothur's visits to the Cultivation House, Elisabeth's house, the tailor shop, etc. Of course, they did not know for sure what this young man was doing and had not taken much notice. But they did know where he hung out during the day.
So, Mabel threw this information against her daughter, distrusting Lothur.
"He didn't do any of that! How would he do that when we barely had contact for days until we settled our differences recently? Plus, I'm the one who made the first move. I'm the one who wants to be with him."
"Are you listening?" She stepped forward, coming closer to her mother. "Lothur didn't want to pay attention to me. He has other possibilities. But I insisted. I fought to be with him and did everything he wanted!"
"Daughter..." Aiken saw Viktoria's way of talking about how she had started her relationship with Lothur and felt terrible.
What father would want to hear from his daughter that she was so submissive to her husband?
"Did you do that?" Mabel asked as she boiled with anger.
She thought Viktoria was doing all this because it was Lothur's wish. Then hearing that it was just the opposite, she felt humiliated that she had failed to raise this girl.
'How could she be attracted to that? What does he have besides a pretty face?' She looked with an ugly expression at Viktoria. 'Don't tell me my daughter is so shallow?'
Viktoria then replied. "I have done and will do much more. Because I want to be with him!"
"So, if you are going to stand in our way, I don't know what can happen, mother. You'd better stop. I'm not asking you to become friends with him or like him. Just stop attacking him!"
Mabel paid attention to Viktoria's body and noticed Lothur's scent, promptly clenching her fists as she noticed that the cursed man had recovered and was still playing with this girl. 'Bastard! You've managed to corrupt my daughter!'
'Almost 20 years of education thrown in the trash for a little fun!'
"Humph!"
"If you want to throw away your life with him, go ahead. I won't stand in the way of the two lovebirds anymore!" Mabel said after making up her mind. "But I don't want to see the damn thing's face anymore. So, make him stay well away from me, or I may lose my patience."
Viktoria made a cold expression and said. "Don't worry. Because of you, he wants to leave our family!"
"He what?" Aiken worried about the trouble this could bring them, even more so considering that his daughter had already given herself to Lothur.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmViktoria looked at her father and said. "He wants to leave our family. How could he not want to? Everyone mistreats him, and now he even gets beaten for just doing what I asked him to do!"
"That..." Aiken looked at his wife, not knowing what to say.
Viktoria then continued. "But I will do my best to ensure he doesn't leave us. I will try to arrange with him for us to live together outside the family estate, in another part of the city. That way, he can calm down a bit, and we can still stay married."
Mabel wanted to say something against it, but as she remembered that Lothur was the only one who could help them avoid a tragedy in the family, she remained silent.
Aiken then said. "Do it, Viktoria. The two of you living together in another part of the city might not be bad. It will give you privacy and remove your relationship from a stressful environment..."
"But don't stay too far away. The family depends on you a lot, my child." He said, feeling bad for depending so much on Viktoria.
"I know." She sighed. "I will do this so I can still help the family without dealing with his loss."
'I hope he'll accept that...' She closed her eyes and sighed as she remembered how good it was to be with him and how she did not want to lose him.
For some reason, she felt her mood improving every time she had fun with Lothur, and her training became more efficient.
Particularly this last time after his breakthrough, when he had made her feel even better during the act and energized in this instant.
Thus, she could not help but appreciate him!
Mabel then commented. "Do that, but don't forget where you are from, Viktoria. You are a Frost. The family has to be your priority, not a man, whoever he is!"
"Tsk!"
"I wouldn't have to worry about that if it weren't for you!" She said before walking out of there, intent on training and releasing her extra energy.
