Victoria's hands, hanging at her sides, clenched into fists.
So this had all been Elias's plan from the start.
He never had any intention of leaving.
Just then, Tobias's phone rang again—another insistent call from his department.
Hawk looked at Tobias. "Dr. Holt, you're heading back to the hospital, right? Perfect. Mr. Shawn's medical records are still there. Would you mind giving me a ride?"
Tobias's expression darkened. No matter how slow he was, he understood exactly what was happening now.
Hawk didn't wait for an answer, turning and walking toward the elevator.
The phone continued to ring incessantly.
Tobias's brow furrowed. He ended the call and looked at Victoria, who stood there silently. "Victoria..."
Victoria lowered her gaze and took a deep breath. "I'm fine, Tobias. You should go."
He looked at her with a complicated expression, opening his mouth as if to say more. But his gaze fell on the bag Hawk had brought, and his gaze grew intense and heavy. In the end, he only said, "Call me if you need anything."
Victoria nodded.
After Tobias left, Victoria watched until his figure disappeared from sight, showing no intention of turning back into the apartment.
Elias watched her, his face grim. "Can't bear to see him go?" he sneered.
Victoria ignored him, shut the door, and turned to go to her bedroom.
Already simmering with anger, Elias was infuriated by her blatant disregard. He reached out to grab her.
