Chapter 422
The dishes were quickly served. They were boiled fish and shrimps and were all Victor’s favorite!
Victor and Lucian did not drink. They ordered rice and ate quietly!
Both of them lowered their heads and ate their food silently with a calm expression on their faces!
The private room was surprisingly quiet. Only the sound of the two of them eating could be heard!
Both Lucian and Victor liked quiet places!
They shared a similarity in this aspect!
Twenty minutes later!
Victor put down the chopsticks, picked up the tissue at the side and wiped the corner of his mouth
elegantly. After that, he picked up the tea at the side and took a sip.
He said, “I’m full!”

“I’m full too!” Lucian put down his chopsticks slowly.
He looked at Victor and said, “I met Eden two hours ago.”
Victor frowned and asked, “Where?”
“Near my house!”
Victor asked in confusion, “What is Eden doing near your house?”
Lucian pursed his lip and did not say anything. He picked up a cup of tea at the side and took a sip
instead.
He thought for a moment and said, “She was in deep pain when I met her!”
Victor’s chest tightened when he heard that. “Why?”
He clenched his fists tightly and looked at Lucian deeply. He reminded himself that he had to be
patient when he talked to Lucian. No matter how curious, angry or anxious he was, he still had to be
patient with him!
Lucian said nonchalantly, “She fell down and injured her leg!”
Victor tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart and asked in a low voice, “Why?”
Lucian knew what he meant.
Lucian looked at him and said, “Because of your father!”
Victor was taken aback by the few words. He suppressed the anger in his heart that could erupt at
any moment.
Victor relaxed his body slightly. His anger was still churning in his heart.
He lowered his head and the cold expression on his face was extremely terrifying!
He said word by word angrily, “What did my father say when he met Eden?”
Lucian realized that Victor could lose control at any moment. He said slowly, “I was just passing by
a cafe and happened to see Eden running out. Your father walked out of the cafe angrily after that. I
don’t know what they said to each other.
Judging from your father’s personality, I’m afraid that he would not have said something good.”
Eden’s lonely, helpless and painful face flashed across Lucian’s mind!
At that time, he was in a fit of anger when he saw that. He wanted to run in front of Philip to
question him about what he had done to Eden.
However, he restrained his rage and chased after Eden when he saw her lonely and fleeing figure.
Victor suppressed his anger and asked, “What happened after that? Who sent Eden to the
hospital?”
The only thing he wanted to know at the moment was whether Eden’s injury was serious or not.
Lucian said faintly, “Mr. Calder happened to pass by. He has already sent her to the hospital!”
Victor heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
Victor picked up his phone quickly and called Eden.
He turned sideways slightly. The refraction of the crystal light landed on his handsome face, making
him look like a demon.
Meantime, Eden had returned to her room to rest after she had dinner!
She sat quietly on the soft big bed and her clear eyes were filled with sorrow!
Suddenly, she heard her phone ringing and glanced at her phone. It was from Victor. Her face
tensed up suddenly and she hesitated for a moment.
She only answered the call when her ringtone didn’ t stop ringing.
“Hello!”
“Eden, Lucian said that your foot was injured. How are you?”
Eden frowned slightly and lowered her head. Since when did Lucian become a gossiper like
Adonis?
Victor would know about the matter sooner or later anyway. She had wanted to call him to ask for a
few days’ leave initially.
Now that the fabric had been fixed, there would not be much of a problem with the follow-up work.
She said in a flat tone, “I’m fine but I might have to ask for leave next week!
Also, I won’t be able to accompany you to watch a movie tomorrow as promised. We can go to the
movies some other time!”
Her heart actually ached for Victor. She got to know him very well when she was with him and she
felt sorry for such a devoted man!
“Okay! Eden, your work is not urgent. You should let your foot injury heal first!”
“Okay! Thank you!” Eden hung up the phone when she had finished speaking!
“Hello! Eden, Eden…”
Victor glanced at the phone. He hadn’t finished speaking yet.
Eden must be in a bad mood at the moment!
Lucian looked at Victor with a faint expression on his face. However, there was a trace of worry in
his gentle eyes.
He asked, “Is her injury serious?”
Victor rubbed the edge of his phone with his fingers gently. His action was cold.
He said lightly, “Eden said she is fine.”
When Lucian heard that, he got up suddenly, put one hand in his pocket and walked out with his
head down.
Victor frowned and looked at Lucian’s slightly cool and charming back.
He said, “I am the only one at home!”
Lucian stopped suddenly and said in a flat tone, “Do you want me to accompany you?”
“If you have nothing to do…” Victor wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
He did not like to be alone. However, he would still be considered alone even if he was together
with Lucian.
Anson was very noisy. Victor felt strange at home without Anson. He felt that he would be drowned
in loneliness anytime soon!
He hated that kind of loneliness. He did not have enough willpower to bear it.
Lucian was a person after all!
A person who would answer if he asked him something!
Lucian said, “Let’s go!”
Victor got up quickly when he heard that.
Lucian asked, “Did you drive here?”
Victor said, “Yes!”
Lucian did not say anything else and continued to move forward.
Victor followed behind him and said, “Lucian, I want to go to the old mansion!”
Lucian continued to walk forward and asked, “Is that necessary?”
Victor said, “I don’t want Eden to be wronged.”
Lucian replied, “She has already been wronged.”
“But…”
Lucian stopped in his tracks suddenly. He looked at Victor and interrupted him. “Victor, I know what
you’re worried about but we can’t delay the matter for too long.”
Victor nodded with a serious expression on his face. “Lucian, I know what you mean.”
“That’s great!” Lucian continued to move forward as he spoke.
“The reason your father met Eden is to either make Eden leave you or to threaten her. You have to
pay more attention to it.
Don’t let Eden suddenly disappear from your world again.”
That was the common trick used by wealthy families.
Victor said with a grim expression on his face,
“Lucian, I know. I will protect Eden well.”
He would be extremely careful from now onwards.
