Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Victoria shook her head.

“I’m fine. Don’t call the police.”

She took a deep breath as if she was trying to calm down herself.

“Zoe, can you help me get my clothes over?”

Zoe looked at her with complicated emotions.

She knew that ordinary people would not dare to treat Victoria like this knowing her family background. Moreover, she had bodyguards following her at any time, so no ruffians could get close to her.

But she looked so miserable now. Zoe thought that there must be some reasons she didn’t want others to know.

Zoe didn’t say anything else. She turned around to find Victoria’s clothes and then picked them up. She then supported Victoria to the washroom to give her a simple wash and then took her out of this place.

In the Han Mansion…

Seeing that Zoe brought a girl back and that she had seen this girl on the TV, Mrs. Dottie became so happy.

“Mrs. Dottie, this is my friend Victoria Kaur. She will live here in these days. Please prepare some light dishes for us now.”

“Oh, okay.”

Zoe supported Victoria into the bedroom.

“Zoe, I want to take a bath.”

“Okay.”

The guest room hadn’t been used before and therefore it had everything she would need.

Zoe prepared the water for her and asked her to take a bath inside. She then turned around and asked Mrs. Dottie to find a doctor.

Ever since Zoe moved into the Ham Mansion, they hired one more standby female doctor. Although it was almost the New Year, as that female doctor’s home was in Julio, and it was not far away from the McCarthy Mansion, it was convenient for her to come over.

When Victoria finished the bath, Zoe asked the doctor to give her an examination.

“She is our doctor. Rest assured. She won’t talk.”

Zoe explained when noticing Victoria’s vigilant eyes.

Only then did Victoria feel relieved. The doctor asked her to take off the clothes. Feeling unbearable to see the scene, Zoe turned around and left the room.

In about ten minutes, the doctor came out and told Zoe that it was over.

Zoe asked several questions and learned that except for the wounds on her body, Victoria also had some lacerations in her private part. Zoe vaguely knew what was going on in her heart and didn’t ask any other questions. She asked the doctor to prescribe the medicines and then let her leave.

When she walked into the guest room again, she found that Victoria had put on her clothes. She was leaning against the head of the bed and looking out of the windows dully.

“What happened? Can you tell me now?”

“Zo, I don’t want to talk about this.”

Her face was a bit pale, her eyes having no focus and her voice so feeble. She looked extremely weak.

Zoe knitted her brows tightly.

“I’m so hungry. Do you have anything to eat?”

It seemed like Victoria had sensed that Zoe was angry, she turned around and smiled weakly at her.

Although Zoe was a bit annoyed by her suffering in her heart, she still said, “You can still feel hungry. Looks like you won’t die easily.”

With that being said, she still came downstairs and took the dishes prepared by Mrs. Dottie upstairs.

Victoria was already exhausted after finishing the dishes.

Zoe didn’t want to bother her any longer. Moreover, since Victoria didn’t want to mention this matter, she must have her own reasons behind this.

Therefore, although Zoe still felt somewhat angry, she didn’t say anything else and just asked Victoria to have a rest.

On the next day…

It was the Eve of the New Year. Henry gave her a call, telling her that he would come back in the afternoon and accompany her for the New Year.

Zoe was a bit surprised. Henry told her that he would go back to Eqitin before, so she thought that he would come back to Eqitin for the New Year.

She had been drifting from place to place homelessly and miserably over the years. Even though she came back to the country later, she didn’t have any family or any friend. Steven Anderson had to come back to the Anderson family to celebrate the New Year, so naturally it was impossible for him to stay with her. Therefore, she gradually lost the interest and mood to celebrate the New Year.

She always thought that living alone was not that bad.

But now she thought that it was probably a habit.

Naturally Mrs. Dottie was so happy when she learned that Henry would come back. She prepared several more dishes for the dinner and also prepared a bottle of wine. It was a lively and hearty dinner for the Eve of the New Year.

Henry arrived home at five in the afternoon.

When he arrived home, he immediately noticed the shoes at the door and quickly learned that they had a guest.

As expected, at the next moment, Victoria walked down from the stairs with a glass in her hand.

“Hello, Mr. Han. We meet again.”

Henry knitted his brows tightly.

“Why is she here?”

He was asking Mrs. Dottie who was standing aside.

Mrs. Dottie was a bit bewildered.

“Mr. Han, Ms. Kaur is Mrs. Han’s friend. She will live here for two days.”

“No way!”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as he had finished the words, Zoe walked out of her bedroom.

“Why can’t she live here?”

She walked over, wrapped her arm around Victoria’s arm and raised her brows, “Victoria is my good friend, so I want her to stay here with me for the New Year. She won’t bother you. Why can’t she stay here?”

Henry’s expression was a bit hideous.

Zoe knew that this man had a bad impression of Victoria dues to the things that had happened before.

But now that such a bad thing had happened to Victoria, she couldn’t leave her alone.

Therefore, she walked to Henry in strides and pulled his cloth.

She said meekly in a low voice, “She’s my friend. Please show me some face.”

When had she ever talked to him in such a soft voice?

And it somehow sounded like she was begging him!

Henry immediately failed to remain his composure. He took a glance at Zoe and in the end, he said in a cold and intense tone, “Only two days.”

Victoria sneered, “Rest assured. I will only stay here for two days. Two days later, I will not stay here even though you ask me to stay for more days.”

After finishing the words, she swaggered back to her room.

Henry’s face became gloomier.

Zoe smiled awkwardly and tried to ease his anger.

“You must be tired after flying for the whole day, right? Hurry up to have a seat. Wait a minute, I will pour some water for you.”

Victoria had recovered a lot after sleeping for the whole night.

The wounds were almost all over her body and as she was wearing a high-necked sweater, no one could see the wounds. Therefore, for those who didn’t know what happened, Victoria looked just as the same as she was in usual times except that her face was a bit pale.

Victoria still refused to tell Zoe about the truth, and Zoe couldn’t do anything to it.

It was just that Brandon Kaur, the owner of Ambario Prosperities and Victoria’s father, made a phone call to Victoria in the afternoon. Zoe happened to walk past the room and vaguely heard the quarrel from inside the room.

She guessed that this was the reason why Victoria didn’t want to come back.

Although she worried about her a lot, she could only put aside this thing in the end.

Today was the New Year’s Eve. Although fireworks had already been banned in the urban areas, fireworks were allowed in the suburbs.

After the meal, Zoe wanted to walk around to help digest the food. So Henry brought her to Oak Park in the suburbs to watch the firework show. Victoria, however, could not be bothered to go out and decided to stay in the room for sleeping.

Zoe and Henry drove there. When they arrived at the destination, they found that there were already many people.

Henry had booked a table in a revolving restaurant on a high floor, where they could not only watch the firework show but also the endless stream of people and cars on the street in the New Year’s Eve. It would be a unique experience.

“Mister, Miss, these are the drinks you ordered.”

A waiter walked over with a tray. Zoe was looking out of the windows and she didn’t pay attention to him.

When she reached out to take the glass of drink, she suddenly felt something touching her finger tip.

She was a bit stunned. When she turned her head, her eyes met with the waiter’s meaningful gaze.

Her expression changed slightly.

Luckily, Henry was having a call now and he didn’t notice them.

She hurriedly withdrew her hand. When the waiter left reverently, she still felt that her finger tips were shivering slightly.

“Wait a minute. I want to use the toilet. I will come back soon.”

Zoe said to Henry and then stood up.

She walked all the way to the toilet. She closed the door of the toilet compartment and then finally opened the note in her hand.

There were only some simple and scratchy words on the note, “Seven, long time no see.”

Zoe’s expression changed dramatically.

Was it him?
