The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 145

Victoria originally had the VIP suite all to herself, but now there was another sick person on the guest bed. Lying on the bed in a hospital gown, he had a handsome face that bore a resemblance to her. His left leg and arm were hanging mid-air while covered in a plaster cast and it looked comical.

“Are you… dumb?” Victoria sat on the hospital bed in speechlessness while looking at her brother.

“If it wasn’t for Dad wanting to lock me up and I was afraid of you getting bullied, I wouldn’t have jumped from the second floor. If I hadn’t done that, things would have—argh!” Vincent accidentally touched his injury and his face went pale from the pain.

Teresa stood aside and watched him coldly while Gabrielle had her head down, trying to suppress her laughter while her shoulders shook.

“I’m an adult with an ID card. You don’t need to worry about me so much. Don’t be so reckless next time.” Victoria pursed her lips and glanced at Vincent’s leg that was hanging in mid-air before she sighed inaudibly.

However, he did not stop his antics even when he was immobile. He kept bickering with his wife while Victoria chatted with Gabrielle. It was a calm afternoon in the ward.

Soon, it was 8.00PM and Gabrielle was about to leave. She pushed the door open to see two unexpected guests and looked at Victoria subconsciously before slamming the door shut.

Hearing that, Victoria looked at the door and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Gabrielle let out a dry laugh and wanted to explain when Glen’s voice came through the door. “Who’s inside? Open the door.”

Immediately after that, Denise’s soft but raspy voice could be heard. “Tori, Vince, Tess, are you guys inside? Open the door for us.”

Victoria pulled a long face and her lips pressed together tightly as she gripped the bedsheet beneath her tightly. Among the people that she hated seeing the most were Bella and Christian, ranking in the first place while her parents came second.

“Mrs. Coleman.” Gabrielle had offended Victoria’s parents before and did not want to risk it anymore. She turned toward Teresa and tried to hint at her. “The doctor said Victoria should be on bed rest and avoid fluctuations in her emotions.”

Teresa frowned, but did not say anything.

“Mr. Thatcher visited Victoria today and she had another surgery after that.” Gabrielle realized that Teresa was not in a good position to stop Glen and Denise as she was a daughter-in-law. So, she turned toward Vincent.

“They’re f*cking everywhere!” Vincent cursed. However, it was unclear if he was condemning Christian or Glen and Denise.

Teresa walked to the table, picked up two cups, and asked him, “Are you going to do it or not?”

Vincent did not answer and reached out his uninjured hand to grab the two cups before hurling them at the door.

Bang! The cups collided with the door.

Smash! Soon, they turned into shattered pieces on the floor.

“Scram!” he hollered at the door as the veins on his forehead throbbed. “We don’t welcome you. Get out of here!”

Gabrielle’s heart trembled at his angry shouts. “You should leave first,” Victoria told her.

Since Teresa and Vincent were there to protect Victoria, Gabrielle did not have much to worry about. She wanted to avoid offending people she should not be dealing with. Hence, she hastily bid goodbye and walked out the door while avoiding the shattered pieces on the floor. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Just as Teresa wanted to lock the open door, Glen pushed it open and marched in before she could do it while Denise trailed behind him with swollen red eyes.

“Tori… ” Denise rushed past Glen and stopped before Victoria’s hospital bed. She scanned Victoria up and down while tears streamed down her face. “Are you in a lot of pain?”

With trembling hands, she wanted to caress Victoria’s cheek, but Victoria turned her head to the side.

“It doesn’t concern you if I’m in pain or not, Mrs. Coleman,” Victoria said quietly while looking at her as if she was looking at a patient.

As Denise saw the hate and disgust in her eyes, she stumbled back and sobbed softly with her hands over her mouth.

“I don’t understand what you’re thinking about.” Glen humphed. “You wanted a divorce because of an ingrate like her? Are you regretting it now?” He fixed his gaze harshly at Victoria and continued, “Not only would she not be grateful to you, she might even stab you in the back! Are you nuts?”

“You can’t say that about my daughter!” Denise smacked him with her bag and screamed, “If it wasn’t for you expelling Tori from the Coleman Family and leaving her to die, why would she… not acknowledge me as her mother anymore?”

Glen avoided Denise’s smacks with a gloomy face, but she was not going to stop anytime soon. “You said Tori was… putting on an act the last time she almost died in the car crash. Now, her pulmonary

edema recurred and had to be sent to the ER, but you still insisted that she was novelxo.com fast updateacting!”

“Are you done?!” He grabbed onto her arms with bloodshot eyes as impatience was written all over his face.

He felt that his obedient wife had gone crazy and it all started when she found out that Victoria was in the ER due to the recurrence of her pulmonary edema. It was like she had become a different person.

“F*ck!” Vincent cursed as it seemed that no one noticed him despite his shouting for attention. He punched his bed and boomed, “Can you both f*cking leave? This is a ward. Bring your fight elsewhere!”

Victoria covered her mouth and coughed softly while her face turned paler than it was before.

Teresa looked at her worriedly and went up to Glen and Denise. “Dad, Mom. The doctor said Tori needs to be on bed rest. She should keep her emotions stable too.”

“Now, you’re all getting on top of me, huh?” Glen was used to dominating the home, but today, it seemed like everyone was going against him. The anger inside was at its limit as he exploded and snapped with a red face, “Since all of you care about Victoria so much, might as well f*cking stay with her!”

It was his first time cursing in front of others. The room went still while Denise looked at him incredulously as tears brimmed in her eyes.

“What else do you know besides crying?” he shouted at Denise as his nostrils flared. “You’re such a useless punching bag and gave birth to two b*stards too. Do you still think that you are a good wife to me? If it wasn’t for me, the Coleman Group is long gone, but you had the nerve to secretly hide twenty percent of the shares and threaten me for an ingrate!”

Victoria coughed into her hand as she sneered. Ingrate. Murderer. These were the words her father used to describe her.

Watching her cough, Vincent was alarmed and wanted to jump off the bed, but Teresa held him down. She then walked toward Victoria and glanced at Glen and Denise, who were still at it. Despite being irritated, a worried Teresa asked Victoria, “Are you alright? Should I get the doctor for you?”

“No. I’m not dying.” She shook her head and showed Teresa her palm. “I’m just coughing and there’s no phlegm. It’s not recurring.”

At that, Teresa and Vincent let out a sigh of relief
