Victor didn’t care at all about his reaction and continued speaking.
“If it weren’t for this act of gratitude, we would never have met, and I would have had my own life.”
Kaleigh stared at him blankly, bitterness filling her throat. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.
I just silently watched him open the door and get out of the car.
Just as Victor was about to enter the villa, a high beam suddenly shone on his face, and he
instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.
But I heard a sharp brake sound and Kaleigh’s panicked voice.
“Victor!”
The main culprit of this car accident was Gabriela, who now regrets her reckless behavior.
As soon as she realized that Victor was responsible for all of this, she didn’t care about anything else. She broke free from the grip of the bodyguards and drove towards him, intending to crash into
him.
Little did he know, Kaleigh, who was quick on her feet, pushed him aside, leaving only a slight scrape and no other injuries.
On the contrary, it was Kaleigh who had been stepping on the gas pedal, as Gabriela.
Kaleigh not only had a disability in both legs, but also lay in the ICU for over a month.
Before the Gould family and the Holloway family could make a move.
Upon learning this news, Lucian immediately sent Gabriela to prison, and it was unclear when she
would be released.
During her hospital stay, Victor had also visited Kaleigh, after all, she was the person who had risked her life to save him.
Looking at the person with breathing tubes inserted all over his body, he let out a long sigh.
The eyes were filled with complexity.
Kaleigh eventually listened to what he said in the car at that time, but it was still too late for him.
The reason Kaleigh saved him was just a belated compensation.
Victor looked at him for a long time before finally getting up and leaving.

Due to her car accident, the original plan to return to Glasston had to be postponed.
For the following months, he stayed with the Holloway family, nursing his injuries.
One morning, Victor heard that Kaleigh had woken up.
Upon learning that the person who hit her was Gabriela, and realizing that she had become disabled
in both legs, she did not have any reaction, but instead remained unusually quiet.
Until that day, Victor packed up his belongings again.
But I found a ring in the drawer.
At that time, the ring he had found when he jumped into the sea years ago, Kaleigh later used this ring to propose to him.
Over the course of seven years, the ring had lost its diamonds due to improper maintenance, and
the band had also rusted.
He caressed the ring for a long time, perhaps this ring was the best answer to the question Kaleigh
asked him in the car.
In the past five years of marriage, he has always been the one giving unilaterally, while she has been enjoying the fruits of his efforts.
Without the careful cultivation of both parties, their marriage would have long been rusty like this ring.
So regardless of any external factors, their marriage could never reach its end without his
contribution.
He put the ring back into the box and had the butler deliver it to Kaleigh.
When Kaleigh saw this ring, she was stunned for a while.
In her memory, she did not give Victor any gifts, and the only ring was given by her to Dorian.
Her good friend, who came to visit her, suddenly exclaimed in surprise after seeing this ring.
“Isn’t this the one we threw into the sea when we made that bet back then?”
She held the ring in her hand, and suddenly remembered that day.
That day, they threw this ring into the sea for a bet, promising that whoever’s male companion could find it, the piece of land in the north of the city would belong to them.
Although it was a bet, they still thoughtfully tied the ring tightly to the fishing line and cast it into the sea with a fishing rod.

However, even so, no one dared to jump into the sea.
Except for Victor, he asked the person who proposed this bet with a faint expression if this bet was
true.
After receiving the accurate response from the other party and the land transfer document with the
pressed handprint.
He jumped into the sea without any hesitation.
As she watched the frail person being engulfed by the waves, her hand gripping the railing turned
pale.
