Chapter 175
The energy of The City of Cycles was depleted, and the scene disappeared out of thin air.
Victoria stayed in place, scared out of her wits.
This City of Cycles, recorded her evil.
This was too scary.
“Victoria,” Nathan’s voice came from the bathroom.
Victoria hesitated for a while, and finally stuffed The City of Cycles into her clothes, then left while holding Nathan’s clean clothes.
When Nathan came out of the bathroom, he saw Victoria sitting at the dining table, looking distraught.
Nathan smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Victoria turned her head and smiled softly, “Nothing? It’s just that I feel sorry for you. Thinking about how you offended my stubborn sister for me. I feel very guilty.”
Nathan patted her head and said, “Speaking of which, it was because of my selfish desires that I provoked her and harmed her physically. It’s only natural for her to hate me. I don’t blame her.”
Victoria stared blankly at Nathan, feeling extremely unsettled by his guilt and forgiveness towards Thea.

“Are you too tolerant towards her?” Victoria was full of jealousy.
Nathan said, “Victoria, I have seen the past in The City of Cycles. If I hadn’t deceived Thea for my own selfish desires to donate a kidney, her life would be more carefree than the life I arranged for her. Ultimately, we have let her down. So this time, she has outsmarted me and I have decided not to hold her responsible.”
Victoria stared at Nathan in disbelief, tightly clenching her hand inside her sleeve. “What if she continues to take advantage of us in the future?”
Nathan said, “I wouldn’t give her a chance to hurt you. Don’t worry.”
Victoria sighed, “Now that you have become the abandoned child of the Hill family, the Hill family will no longer be your umbrella. But Thea has Theo to protect her. If she intends to cause trouble for me, where can you protect me?”
The Hill family’s abandoned child?
Nathan’s eyes turned full of hostility. “The Hill family can have the glory they have today, and it’s all thanks to me, Nathan. They think they can abandon me, but it’s not that easy.”
A few days later.
Thea’s injuries had healed, and the first thing she did after leaving the hospital was to visit Master Moore.
Unfortunately, Master Moore’s ward was particularly lively today.
Madam Moore and Victoria were both present, and they looked at Thea as if they were facing a formidable enemy, staring at
Chapter 175
her with caution.
“What are you here for again?” Madam Moore sat in her wheelchair and coldly interrogated.
Thea stood one meter away, looking down at Madam Moore. The woman in her memory, tall and strong, full of hostility, now hunched and frail, sat timidly in a wheelchair. In her hands, she still held a medical bedpan. Inside it, there was a puddle of yellow liquid, emitting the smell of urine acid.
Thea felt a sense of sadness. Madam Moore herself was partially paralyzed and in need of assistance. However, in order to lighten the burden for her beloved daughter Victoria, she had to take on the responsibility of caring for her bedridden ex- husband.
“Nature came to see you as a joke,” Isabella said lightly.
“Mom, do you know? The thing I looked forward to the most when I was a child was growing up and becoming strong, and then proving to you, who was so strong–willed, that being your daughter was the best investment you ever made in your life.”
Madam Moore’s face turned very unnatural.
“What exactly did you want to say?”
Thea said, “I wanted to say that if you hadn’t been blind back then, and hadn’t deceived me by pretending to be a sickly child in need of help, with my current wealth, I could have completely cured your illness and allowed you to live a prosperous and respectable life.”
Victoria was very hurt and she didn’t let Thea continue

speaking. “Thea, don’t pretend to be sympathetic like a cat crying over a dead mouse. My mom takes care of my dad willingly. You think everyone is like you, forgetting their roots and being unfilial to their parents
Thea’s mocking gaze turned towards Victoria. “Victoria, you were filial to your parents, but only with your mouth, right?”
“Over the years, it was always them who wholeheartedly planned everything for you. But have you ever cooked a meal for them? Have you ever made a piece of clothing for them? You haven’t done any of these, so your filial piety is just empty words.”
Victoria was criticized by Thea to the point where she felt utterly ashamed and weak. She weakly defended herself, saying, “I have poor health and lack the ability to help my parents. They will understand me.”
Thea said, “Oh, you were sick. But you weren’t always sick, right? I remember a few years ago when you went to Milan to participate in the fashion week competition. You made so many clothes back then, how come you didn’t think of making one for your mom and dad?”
Victoria looked embarrassed. Her gaze uneasily fixed on Madam Moore.
Madam Moore’s gaze at Victoria noticeably turned cold.
Thea added more details and said, “Mom, look at your hands, they shake uncontrollably even when you hold a chamber pot. Your body should have been enjoying a peaceful retirement long ago. Back when we lived together in a rented house at Rainbow Bridge, you were nearly twenty years younger than you are now.

It was me who served you tea and water.”
Madam Moore bit her lip and hung her head in embarrassment.
Thea’s words did indeed wake her up.
Her two daughters. Victoria spoke better than she did.
Thea looked better than she spoke.
When Thea was with me, she was truly happy.
With Victoria, she was tired.
Thea saw Madam Moore’s expression and knew that her words had struck a chord with Madam Moore.
That’s all Thea did.
Victoria, however, lost her temper and shouted, “Thea, what are you doing here? Since you’ve already changed your name, you have no connection to the Moore family anymore. Why have you come back? We don’t welcome you here.”
Thea said, “I came to borrow a hairpin.”
Madam Moore’s bedpan suddenly fell to the ground, spilling urine. Victoria cursed loudly, “How did you carry it?”
Thea glared at Victoria with a fierce look, and it was only then that Victoria realized her attitude towards Madam Moore had been too harsh. She closed her mouth sullenly.
Madam Moore tremblingly plucked a strand of hair and handed it to Thea, saying, “You want hair, I’ll give you as many strands as you want.”
Chapter 175
Thea, however, did not accept the white hair handed to her.
She knew that her biological relationship with Madam Moore had to be established.
In the past, they had already done a paternity test.
So this time, she just to be herself and Master Moore’s.
She walked up to Master Moore, and suddenly Victoria ran over and pushed Thea away, saying, “What are you doing? You’re not allowed to hurt my dad.”
Thea saw Victoria’s intense attitude, and her gaze shifted to Madam Moore’s face, which also looked very anxious.
Thea had already guessed that her relationship with Master Moore was far from ordinary.
“Move aside,” Thea exclaimed angrily.
Victoria said, “I didn’t allow you to pull dad’s hair.”
Thea squinted her eyes, and then suddenly reached out her hand in an attempt to pull Victoria away. But before her hand could touch Victoria, Victoria suddenly shot back like an arrow. Then, accompanied by a horrifying scream, she fell to the ground.
“Victoria,” a towering figure suddenly burst into the room.
The next moment, a heavy slap landed on Thea’s face.
“Thea, I didn’t expect you to be so malicious,” Nathan exclaimed angrily.
