Chapter 455 

“No need. It’s just a minor injury,” Wilson said, his earlier gentleness replaced by his usual cold detachment. “I heard Adam is searching for the whereabouts of Master Xev from the underworld?” 

Samuel nodded. “Yes, but Master Xev can’t be found so easily. It will be extremely difficult for him to locate Master Xev.” 

“Help him out,” Wilson replied flatly. 

“Yes, Mr Quinn,” Samuel said respectfully. 

Master Xev had always been on good terms with Wilson. Yet, Wilson was willing to offend them just to please Adam. 

At the hospital, Lionel began to rouse. 

“Lionel, you’re finally awake.” 

Seeing Victoria’s red, tear–streaked face, Lionel’s heart ached. He whispered, “Ms. Olson, please don’t cry. 

I’m fine.” 

“Fine? The doctor said your injuries are severe.” Victoria sobbed with a guilty expression. “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been punished by Wilson.” 

Hearing this, Lionel’s sympathy for Victoria deepened. He replied firmly, “Ms. Olson, this wasn’t your fault. Please don’t blame yourself.” 

It was all because of that scheming woman, Yvette, who had Wilson wrapped around her finger. 

Even though Yvette was the one who caused Victoria’s injuries, Wilson still showed such favoritism 

toward her. 

Lionel felt increasingly frustrated for Victoria, his expression darkening with each passing second. Just then, he recalled Victoria’s bloodied and scraped knees after being pushed down by Yvette. 

“Ms. Olson, have you treated the wounds on your legs?” Lionel asked with concern. 

Victoria nodded. “I’ve already taken care of it. Lionel, I suffered a minor scrape, but you’ve been seriously injured. Please get plenty of rest.” 

Lionel was heartened by Victoria’s concern. “Okay. I’ll heed your advice, Ms. Oslon.” 

A faint smile appeared on Victoria’s face, but she soon looked worried again, her voice tinged with 

concern. 

“Lionel, remember to be respectful to Yvette in the future. Otherwise, Wilson definitely won’t let you off 

the next time.” 

Lionel’s gaze grew somber, and he fell into an extended period of silence. 

f Yvette dared to hurt Victoria again, Lionel swore he would risk everything to remove her from the equation. 

Victoria said gently, “You’ve just woken up and are still weak. You need to rest. I’ll come back to check on you later.” 

Lionel felt a pang of reluctance as he watched her prepare to leave. He wanted to prolong the moment. However, he quickly reined in these inappropriate thoughts and nodded in agreement.
