“No… Mr. Yang, you have misunderstood…” Dr. Jessica added quickly, “This is the case. Victoria was in danger for a while, but after an emergency rescue, she has now successfully survived through the danger period… I apologize because it’s so late, and yet I have to trouble you…”

“It turns out to be like this!” Yang Ming sighed and blamed himself for being too anxious, but he comforted Jessica. “Dr. Jessica, you don’t have to express any apologies. Your efforts are inseparable with Victoria getting out of danger. I want to thank you for it!”

Seeing that Yang Ming didn’t mind, Dr. Jessica was relieved and said, “Now Victoria is getting an infusion. It takes about half an hour. Let’s wait in the lounge for a while.”

“Alright.” Yang Ming nodded. “Yes, is there something to eat here? I am famished.”

“Yes, there is a restaurant in the hospital. I’ll make a phone call and have them prepare some meals separately.” Dr. Jessica said quickly.

“No need.” Yang Ming smiled. “Do you have any leftovers? Just serve it. You don’t have to prepare it again.”

“Okay…” Dr. Jessica heard Yang Ming and nodded. “I will make a call.”

……

Victoria, who was on the bed, opened her eyes. She assessed her surrounding in doubt. There were some sophisticated medical equipment, a white room, and thick gauze wrapped around her chest…

Where is this? Is this heaven? Victoria’s thoughts flashed through slightly. She was even a little amused. All of this had already answered her question. She was now in a hospital.

Victoria was puzzled. Who sent me to the hospital? As a slave fighter, once I lost the game and fell in the arena, shouldn’t I be thrown into the sea to feed the fish?

Victoria had become accustomed to this situation. She was not Bobby’s sole slave fighter since there were quite a lot of them. When they lost a game and were knocked down in the arena, they lost their value to be used. Whether they were dead or not, they would directly be disposed of into the sea or under a cliff.

This was the fate of this group that could not be changed. Victoria also foresaw her own destiny at the moment she fell to the ground, so she did not think she had a chance to survive…

She recollected her messy thoughts quietly. Victoria could be sure that she was not dead, but rather, she was indeed lying on a hospital bed. The infusion tube on her arm also proved it all.

She was not abandoned, but she was sent to the hospital and received good treatment. Victoria’s cold heart could not help but feel touched.

However, she was merely touched. Victoria didn’t think Bobby was kind in any way; she wouldn’t consider Bobby as a good person. Even after she recovered, she was still a slave, a boxer who sold her life to Bobby.

Victoria sighed slightly and closed her eyes. Do I have a future? How long will this nightmarish life last? She longed for freedom so much that she would be satisfied even if there was only one day of it.

However, this was obviously a luxury. Victoria understood that from the moment the Egyptian sold her to Bobby, she had no freedom in her life. That remote control could manipulate her life and death.

Although she was in the state of living death many times, it was better to be alive than dead. Who was willing to die?

Victoria put away her unrealistic thoughts. Her heart was not as cold as how she appeared to be, but it couldn’t be revealed.

Even if she were to express it, who could she talk to? Bobby? Haha, that would be the biggest joke. Would a person higher up like Bobby talk about feelings with a slave?

Victoria could only put all her hopes and expectations on her own next life if there were really a next life. She did not really have extravagant hopes. She did not need to live too well, but at least, she could be like a normal girl who could go to school, work, or even get a boyfriend…

She could only long for all of these in the silent night. The life of a normal person was beyond reach. Although it was always around her, Victoria could never jump out of the shackles of fate.

Victoria leaned sideways and placed her head in a more comfortable position. She had stayed in bed for a long time, making her neck feel stiff.

En? What is this? Victoria suddenly felt something under her neck which made her a little uncomfortable.

Victoria quickly reached below her neck with the other arm that didn’t have an infusion. It was a square, matchbox-sized thing…

Victoria took the square thing out and put it in front of her. She fixed her eyes on it, and she was dumbfounded all of a sudden! This was the remote control of the bomb in her body!

She gazed at the serial number on it; it was indeed hers! Victoria was too familiar with this item. She knew this item since she was a child. This item was in front of her eyes many times; it was in the hands of the Egyptian, but she couldn’t get it.

But at the moment, this remote control was placed on the side of her bed! What does this mean? Did Bobby leave it here? Victoria obviously did not believe that Bobby would put it on her hospital bed from his own initiative.

She knew Bobby’s character too well. Bobby was a cold-blooded person, especially toward his slaves; it was a kind of indifference. Bobby would not let a slave have an easy time, even if he were to give up the slave.

Victoria couldn’t believe that Bobby put many years of her battle history in consideration and returned the remote control to her because this was too humorous for Bobby.

Alternatively, if this were Bobby’s test for her, then there was no need for it because a slave’s loyalty did not need to be tested. Slave loyalty did not come from the slave’s heart, but the inability to resist the intense pressure of the master. Using this method to test the loyalty of a lower class slave was simply a waste of time.

So the only thing Victoria could think of was that Bobby had forgotten the remote control and left it here accidentally.

Victoria took a deep breath and looked at the remote control in her hand anxiously. Her whole body shivered involuntarily. Yes, she was very excited. She knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her! A good opportunity to say goodbye to the former slave life and flee!

Although Victoria had never seen the bigger world outside, and she had never lived independently in society, it did not hinder her pursuit of happiness and freedom.

Victoria also understood that Bobby’s network was strong enough to spread throughout the world. Victoria would be captured back perhaps the next day after she fled, but she did not care. She got over it already. Even if it were a day of freedom, she would be content.

So, Victoria thought of fleeing. This was her only chance. Thinking of this, Victoria quickly pulled out the infusion tube from her other arm, then she got up and jumped out of bed.

The wound on her body was stretched all of a sudden. Victoria couldn’t help but gnash her teeth. It was unrealistic to leave from the main entrance of the ward. Victoria was not sure whether guards or doctors were outside the main door.

Protective steel windows also covered the window of the ward; one couldn’t escape from the window either. She placed her only hope on the bathroom inside the ward.

There were air ducts generally in the bathroom. She could probably escape through the air ducts. Thinking of this, Victoria endured the pain and quickly slid into the bathroom.

Victoria stayed in the Intensive Care Unit which was reserved for some powerful people. However, since Victoria had now become Yang Ming’s “person,” she was sent to this ward. Therefore, there was a separate bathroom in this ward.

Although the bathroom was very simple, it was spotless. Most probably someone was cleaning it every day.

After entering the bathroom, Victoria first locked the bathroom door, then she began to study the air ducts in the bathroom…

……

“It’s almost time. Let’s go.” Dr. Jessica looked at her watch and said to Yang Ming, “Mr. Yang, if there is no accident, Victoria will soon wake up. She has already passed through the dangerous period. Her reading seems normal.”

After Yang Ming heard it, he stood up with Li Qiang and followed Dr. Jessica out of the lounge. The food from the hospital’s restaurant was delicious. Yang Ming was very full.

For Yang Ming, he did not really like to eat any exotic delicacies. This ordinary home-cooked meal made Yang Ming very comfortable.

Dr. Jessica pushed the door of the ward and said, “Mr. Yang, please enter… Ah?”

Dr. Jessica exclaimed. She was startled to see the empty ward. “Where is she? Why isn’t she here?”

Yang Ming and Li Qiang also entered the ward. With Dr. Jessica’s exclamation, they saw the empty bed and the infusion bottle that was nearly emptied.

“Brother Yang, I am afraid that Victoria fled after she woke up…” Li Qiang said with a bitter smile, “Maybe, Bobby was right. You should not have returned the remote control to Victoria… Otherwise, you will lose control over her weakness.”

“Control her?” Yang Ming shook his head. “I never thought about controlling her. Victoria has the right to choose her own life. Since she doesn’t want to stay, I don’t have to force her.”

“Brother Yang? You got Victoria from Bobby just to let her go?” Li Qiang looked at Yang Ming, puzzled.

“Yes, I wanted to give her freedom,” said Yang Ming faintly.
