“You trickedinto drinking! Dad said girls shouldn't drink too much! You're definitely not a good person!”
Ariana sobbed.
Victor rubbed his temples. He admitted that telling her to drink alcohol to help her sleep was a complete failure.
In the end, Victor agreed with her accusations. “Fine, I'm not a good person. What are you going to do about it?”
Ariana sniffled. “You... You have to apologize to me.”
Victor fell silent.
“And no forcingonto your side! I'm not going to die that quickly!” Ariana continued.
Victor quietly watched as Ariana rambled
Seeing her cry even harder, he eventually gave in. “Alright, ‘m sorry.”
“You're not being sincere!” Ariana accused.
“What would make it sincere?” Victor sighed.

“Should | add scompensation while I'm at it?” Victor asked sarcastically.
“Yes!” Ariana nodded.
“You're not even drunk, are you?” Victor stood up, clearly done with Ariana’s tantrum.
Just as he turned to leave, Ariana suddenly got up and shouted, “Don’t go!”
She screamed. Her footing was unsteady, and she stumbled forward. She tried to grab Victor's sleeve but he was
too far, and she couldn't reach him.
At the stime, Victor turned back instinctively and caught Ariana, pulling her into his arms.
“Had enough?” Victor sighed again.
“...Yes,” Ariana muttered softly.
Victor's scent, laced with tobacco, enveloped her. She tried to push him away, but her hands were too weak to
resist.
“If you're done fooling around, go back to bed,” Victor grunted.
“...To be honest, | can’t stand up anymore.” Ariana’s legs ached terribly, and she hadn’t brought her crutch when
she cover. Walking back on her own seemed impossible.
“You wantto carry you back?” Victor was exasperated.
“I wouldn't say no... Wait!” Ariana suddenly shrieked.
Before she could finish, Victor slung her over his shoulder.
The sudden action startled Ariana, sobering her un “Victor Putdown! | can walk on my own!”
No matter how much she protested, Victor ignored her.

Ariana landed harshly, her back aching from the impact. Tears welled up in her eyes as she glared at Victor.
“Now | really can’t move,”
Victor groaned to himself.
“What are you two doing in the middle of the night?” Simon walked out of his room, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He
froze when he saw the scene. “Victor! What did you do?”
He stepped inside, immediately overwhelmed by the strong smell of alcohol.
Simon frowned. “She’s badly injured. How could you let her drink?”
As he spoke, he carefully adjusted Ariana’s position on the bed.
Ariana’s back injury made even the slightest movement painful, and she winced as he touched her.
Simon's patience snapped. “Victor! Do you think she’s one of your underlings? You can’t just throw a girl onto a
bed like that!”
“I didn’t realize...” Victor said awkwardly.
He had never been in close contact with a woman before. Ariana felt so light in his arms that he hadn't thought
much about how he placed her down, leading to his careless mistake.
