All Novel Full Chapter 1238
Chapter 1238: Chapter 1121: No Longer Quiet_1 Chapter 1238: Chapter 1121: No Longer Quiet_1 Queenie and NPC Father disappeared on the edge of her sight.
Only the NPC Mother with a big belly, and the deaf and mute Victoria who’s wearing a sometimes-working hearing aid were left at home.
“This is like a disaster waiting to happen…” Victoria muttered to herself, watching her father and Queenie disappear.
Being “deaf and mute” had its advantages for her.
All words she utters are disregarded by NPCs under [Peeking Mode] so she didn’t even have to bother with gestures.
But Victoria didn’t talk much.
Firstly, she was accustomed to the tranquility.
Secondly, she was extremely nervous, fearing the arrival of a monster.
Not only did she have to be careful, but she also needed to keep a close eye on her pregnant mother.
With this anxiety, she was excessively obedient.
Assist in cooking?
No, she will do it herself!
She cooked for herself to save Money when she was not yet famous.
After becoming popular, although she often ordered takeouts due to being busy, she always cooked for Connar and Shirley in the virtual world.

Her culinary skills were excellent.
Even if she needed to remain quiet, and the cooking process has changed, Victoria had already gotten used to the ‘quiet daily life’ of the Game World within ‘Several Days’.
As for the side task given by the System – [Return to the old place, mourn the deceased brother], Victoria ignored it without a second thought.
Although she did feel a bit guilty for causing her brother’s death by carelessly giving him the toy airplane, she couldn’t just be suicidal right?
Splitting up into pairs had already made her feel endangered.
If they split again, leaving the pregnant mother alone at home?
What, afraid that the monster will go hungry?
Victoria firmly decided to stay at home, do chores, laundry… She was completely unwilling to have the pregnant mother help in any housework.
She wished for her to lie down all the time until Queenie and Dad returned.
However, the mother, out of concern for her child, insisted on doing housework together with Victoria, despite her appreciative look towards her elder daughter’s efforts.
Victoria couldn’t overrule her, so they had to silently launder the clothes together – for maximum silence, their living and sleeping quarters were arranged on the underground floor.
Finally, when loading the heavy, wet clothes into the bag to carry up to dry, Victoria insisted on carrying them herself and told the mother to rest.
Getting ready to deliver and still doing manual labor… Was she asking for trouble?
The mother left first, torn between gratefulness and resignation.
So, Victoria, carrying two large bags of soaking wet clothes, was about to go upstairs.
But upon looking at the wooden steps, alert Victoria immediately decided to leave one bag.
One bag at a time, for two drying sessions – avoid all possible accidents.
However, her strength as a kid was insufficient.
Encumbered with a huge bundle of clothes, she could only drag it along.
After climbing a few steps, due to maybe expending too much strength, Victoria suddenly felt unable to pull the bundle.
She temporarily stopped, took a few breaths to recover strength, readjusted her posture, stepped, shifted weight, and pushed!
Straining proved to be effective!
The heavy burden was successfully pulled up the stairs one step at a time.
But Victoria, vigilant not to make any noise, didn’t notice an iron nail pointing up, caught by the wet clothes bundle and jerked upwards by her powerful pull!
Misstepping onto the nail could puncture her foot!
Victoria hung the wet clothes to dry, then returned downstairs to get the second bundle of clothes.
On the way, Victoria saw the NPC Mother, who had a big belly, leisurely walking on the White Sand Path.
Light exercise is good for pregnant women.
Since the path was thickened for safety the previous day, she didn’t worry much about this.
Entering the house and climbing the wooden stairs, with each step she took, Victoria looked down at her feet.
And then, she saw that upright iron nail!
Victoria gasped sharply.
“That was close!
I’m glad I was careful!
If I wasn’t, both of us would be doomed!”
She set aside the laundry for now, immediately began looking for tools to push the nail back into the floor.

Keeping silent in the process wasn’t easy.
Victoria tried various tools and methods before successfully pushing the nail down.
Letting out a sigh of relief, she then carried the second bundle of clothes upstairs to dry.
By the time she finished everything, the sky had already darkened.
Victoria looked at the setting sun and stretched widely, exhaling deeply.
Her nerves finally relaxed:
“Thank goodness, the sun has set.
Dad and little sister will be back soon, and all the chores have been successfully completed.”
“The dangerous day is finally over.”
But before she finished saying it—
“Crash!!!”
A piercing sound of glass shattering suddenly sounded!
Victoria whipped her head towards the origin of the sound and found it to be the two-story white building.
That was where the family used to live before the monster showed up.
After the monster emerged, the family moved underground and rarely visited it.
At least during the past few days, the family never went in there.
With the noise coming from that place, could it be…
Victoria bolted towards the white house.
Reaching the doorway, she saw the pale-faced mother clutching the stair handrail, fluid persistently dripping between her legs, and a smashed photo frame on the floor.
Strikingly, there was a picture of the deceased brother in the frame.
Victoria instantly figured out what happened: the due date was getting closer, a new life was about to be born.
Being busy wouldn’t seem to be a problem, but her excessive diligence made the pregnant mother rest.
