Chapter 490
That year.
She was dressed in a simple white dolman sleeve sweater, matched with a red woolen skirt and a pair of white
wedges.
Her light brown hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she was bubbly and lively like the sunlight.
She said, “Hi everyone, I’m Eileen Reid, number 520 here for the interview. I have yet to graduate from university,
but don’t look down on me just because I have yet to graduate…
When she smiled, her brows were like petals blooming.
Victor felt a sharp pain in his heart. He placed a hand over his brows and eyes and shut his eyes tight.
It was good that she was gone. It was better that she was gone.
He no longer needed to be distracted because of her.
No longer needed to help her best friend because she asked for his help.
There was no need to worry about fighting with Conrad, that it would make her best friend unhappy and make her
unhappy with him
The doors of the operation theater opened and the doctor came out as he looked at the group of people.
“Who is the patient, Sapphire Starling’s, family?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA couple of people went forward, Sapphire and Victor’s parents!
“We are!”
“The patient has a slight concussion and her dislocated neck bone has been relocated after treatment. She should
be fine after resting
for a period of time.”
After that, the doctor and nurses brought Sapphire into a ward and everyone followed them.
Before the doctor left, he said, “Leave after taking a look at her. Don’t have too many people stay behind and
affect her rest.”
“Alright, thank you!” Mrs. Starling dug out a red packet and stuffed it into the doctor’s hand, blocking him from
returning it.
“Your intentions are well received!” The doctor nodded at Conrad and
left.
Mr and Mrs Starling looked at Conrad.
“Conrad, thank you.”
“If it were not for your man sending Sapphire to the hospital in time, I don’t even know what would have
happened.”
Hearing his parents-in-law thanking Conrad, Victor walked out of the ward and leaned against the wall, taking out a
pack of cigarettes.
His parents were in the ward, apologizing to Sapphire and her parents. Seeing him smoking as if nothing had
happened the moment they left the ward made them furious.
“What exactly is going on with you! How do you lose your wife while driving her!” Mr. Maxwell was nagging in a low
voice, wishing his son was able to become a better person. “To actually have Conrad’s man send her to the hospital,
what were you thinking!”
“Alright, speak less! Victor must have been stunned silly back then, right?”
Victor felt very frustrated as he raised his eyes to look at his parents.
“Isn’t everything fine?”
“How dare you say that! Sapphire’s parents have a very strong opinion
of you. Why aren’t you quickly entering the ward to take care of Sapphire!” Mr. Maxwell grabbed Victor and
approached the ward.
Victor was pushed into the ward, as he looked at Sapphire lying on the bed with a frown then with an indifferent
expression. He looked
elsewhere.
His parents smiled awkwardly and guiltily, and carefully apologized to Sapphire’s parents, saying that they would
return and make a

Sapphire’s parents had cold expressions on, not sending off their in- laws, and waiting for Victor to come forward
and explain what was going on with her jumping out of the car.
The environment froze instantly.
Conrad held Fia’s hands, looking at Victor who was leaning against
the door of the ward.
He was recalling his younger days, every time his eldest uncle and aunt brought Victor to the family residence.
Victor would be degraded by his own parents and he would stand by
the side, not taking a seat.
Conrad would be urged by his grandfather to invite his cousin to take a seat, and he would do so a couple of times.
However, Victor never appreciated it, and would use a voice that only the two of them could hear and mock him for
not having a father
even though he did.
Soon, he did not bother with Victor anymore.
And even later on, Victor did not care anymore. Even if his parents were whacking him, he would enter the family
residence, sit down, and eat and drink without feeling courteous.
“Dad, Mom, don’t blame Victor.” Sapphire, who had been laying down,
opened her mouth lightly, the neck brace made her face even paler and smaller.
