Its a miracle! My father allowed me to take a trip to England, the only problem is I have to go with Clerval once I get to Strasburgh. Well this isn't so bad, a least I won't be alone. This is the best, I can complete my task without being found out and then return to marry my love. Wait, what about my family, won't they be in danger without even knowing? Impossible, the creature said he would follow me wherever I go. I hope he stays true to that promise. I left in September, though sad to leave Elizabeth, I had no time to waste. After a while I made it to Strasburgh and had a joyful meeting with Clerval. He was full of life, excited with everything, yet here I stand my very presence filled with gloom. I truly was happy to have company though it may have not shown, I was filled with joy. We finally made it to London, my work would soon have to begin.

(My earlier comment was not constructive or positive. It was just a thought, which is why I'm redoing it.) I like this post because it captures everything that Victor is feeling at the moment. Not only is he worried about getting to England but also about his family's safety back home, working in the presence of Clerval, and even the prospect of his wedding. In his mind, the main priority is creating a companion for his creature in order to never have to deal with him again, and I feel you have addressed that.
