SWNOVELS Departure with a Belly Chapter 455
Chapter 455

However, after Leon had admitted his mistake, Bane only remained frozen in place as if
he hadn’t heard his apology, his eyes glued on Victoria’s body.
Meanwhile, the doctor continued his assessment. Once he finished, he removed his
glasses and reported, “Mr. Morison, it seems that this lady only has some external
wounds, and she should be fine everywhere else.”
Next to them, Leon instantly heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that Victoria only
sustained some minor injuries. It was a relief that she was only slightly hurt. If she had
been severely injured in any way, he feared that Bane would not let him off easily. At
first, he had assumed that a simple push was no big deal, considering that Rainee had
been the one to do so. However, he never expected this woman to be so fragile that she
fainted even after a small push.
All of a sudden, the doctor said, “But…”
Bane, who had had his heart in his mouth this entire time, immediately frowned. “But
what?”
“I can only assess her external wounds here, but as this lady has hurt her head, it’s best
to take her to the hospital after she awakens for further examination and rule out any other risks.”

Hearing that, Bane instantly understood and asked, “Can we go now?”

The doctor hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s not like you can’t, but… Since we
don’t know how long she’s been unconscious, you should be careful if you take her to
the hospital now.”
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Bane had already lifted her in his arms, coldly
instructing Leon, “Get the car ready.”
Leon immediately heeded his orders and left.
Thinking that his work was done, the doctor was just about to leave after informing
Bane when the latter suddenly said, “You come with us. In case something happens on
the way there.”
Hearing that, he found Bane’s words reasonable and nodded before handing his first
aid kit to an assistant.
The assistant soon caught up with them with the first aid kit in hand. The car they had
prepared was spacious, and the seats were already reclined by the time they arrived.
After entering the car, Bane carefully placed Victoria on one of the seats. Then,
recalling something, he removed his jacket and spread it over her unconscious body.
Once they had hastily completed the necessary preparations, the driver inquired, “Mr. Morison, can we leave now?”
Chapter 455 You Don’t Recognize Me Anymore?
Bane nodded, ordering in a cold voice, “Yes.”
Finally, they began to make their way to their destination. On the path to the hospital, Bane’s gaze did not stray from Victoria for a single second.

She truly appeared serene and meek as she lay unconscious, and her fair complexion
and supple, rosy cheeks made her seem so delicate that she might break from the
gentlest breeze. Hence, in her current state, the wound on her forehead appeared even
more frightening.
As Bane recalled the reason behind her wound, the air around him turned cold.
However, he could only hold himself back for now from settling the score. Now, the
most important task at hand was to treat Victoria’s wound.
After arriving at the hospital, they were hastily arranging for the necessary checkup
procedures when Victoria suddenly regained consciousness.
Although she was set to undergo an examination, when the person who was waiting by
her side noticed that she had woken up, they excitedly informed the rest. “She’s awake.”
At first, Bane had been going through a list of procedures, not expecting her to wake up
right after he placed her down. Immediately, he abandoned his current task and placed
the list down before striding toward her in large steps.
When Victoria opened her eyes, she was immediately faced with many unfamiliar faces

that were staring at her.
She furrowed her brows slightly and tried to speak. “You…”
“Victoria, you’re awake.”
As soon as Bane’s voice emerged, the people surrounding her tactfully moved away to
make way for him. Once he walked over, he helped Victoria up.
“It’s good that you’re awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Looking at the man in front of her, Victoria only felt as if she were looking at a stranger.
However, he was holding her, and his tone as well as his gaze were filled with concern.
And yet, she did not recognize him at all.
“You are?”
Her first question caused Bane to freeze in place. “Hm?”
He thought that he had misheard. Why else would she ask him who he was? However,
Victoria’s next words made him thoroughly realize that he had not heard her wrongly at
all.
“Who are you?” Victoria asked once more. This time, her words were clearer, and the look in her eyes slowly became dubious as she stared at Bane.
Chapter 455 You Don’t Recognize Me Anymore?
Not only that, she looked at the people around her and asked, “Who are all of you?”
The crowd fell silent. It was not an issue if she didn’t know who they were as they hadn’t
met prior to this incident, and all they had to know about her was that she was the
woman Bane had feelings for. However, why did it seem like she didn’t even recognize
Bane?
Seeing the wound on her forehead, one of them subconsciously asked, “Did she hurt
her head from the fall and forget Mr. Morison?”
“No way. How could she lose her memory just from a bump? Is that possible?”
People falling and hurting their heads was not uncommon, but it was very rare for
someone to lose their memory just from hitting their head.
As Bane listened to their conversation, he furrowed his brow. She lost her memory?
“Victoria, it’s me.” A moment of silence later, he ultimately chose not to reveal his name.
“You don’t recognize me anymore?”
Hearing that, Victoria turned toward him. Her clear eyes swept across his face, and
finally, with a confused look, she shook her head to show that she did, in fact, not
recognize him.
Bane’s frown deepened at the sight. How could she forget him from just a fall? How
Chapter 455 You Don’t Recognize Me Anymore?
was that possible?

Just as he was deep in thought, Victoria began struggling to sit up, inadvertently
tugging on her wound in the process, and the sudden pain caused her to inhale sharply.
“Hiss…”
“Don’t move.” Returning to his senses, Bane hurriedly held her floundering body down.
“You’re hurt, so just stay still until the examination is complete.”
“Examination?” Although she did not recognize the man before her, Victoria could
sense his concern toward her, and she still had her wits about her.
From their earlier conversation and her current surroundings, it appeared that
something must have happened to her for her to not remember the man before her.
At that thought, she asked, “What is the examination for? Did something happen to me
before this?”
At first, Bane was only suspicious of her memory loss, but her question practically
confirmed that she had genuinely forgotten everything.
However, Bane did not fully believe that yet. He pursed his lips. Instead of giving her an
explanation for her question, he stared at her nonchalantly before finally asking, “Do
you remember the reason why you came looking for me?”
Chapter 455 You Don’t Recognize Me Anymore?
“… was looking for you?” Victoria stared at him, repeating his question softly.
Bane nodded. “Yeah, you came here to look for me. Do you still remember why?”
Why? Victoria stared at him, her gaze a little lost. She did not know this man at all, so
why would she want to meet him?

She racked her brains for an answer, but to no avail. In fact, her head would ache with
severe pain when certain thoughts crossed her mind, causing her to let out a cry
uncontrollably.
“Ouch!”
