Chapter 779: He’s Victor’s Brother

Ella Bailey turned her head, following Tina's motion.

On the surveillance screen, a room filled with sophisticated medical equipment came into view. A woman lay on the bed, her face deathly pale, her body devoid of vitality. Only the faint white mist on the light blue oxygen mask of the ventilato proved that she was still alive.

There was no sound in the footage, but Ella Bailey could almost hear the rhythmic beeping of the monitors in her ears.

She held her breath. Her heartbeat thudded violently, reverberating through her chest.

Even though she didn't understand medicine, she could tell that her mother's condition wasn't good.

The arms that had once held her so gently were now scarred, deep and shallow cuts crisscrossing her skin.

Some of the older wounds had healed, leaving white marks behind. The newer ones, grayish-brown scabs, threatened to shred Ella's fragile nerves.

"Mom..."

Her lips trembled, her teeth chattered, and the single word that escaped her throat came out broken and hoarse.

Tears began to fall, her sobs spreading like ripples through the quiet living room.

Tina watched silently. With a wave of her hand, Courtney and the others standing behind her led Elsa upstairs. At the top of the stairs, Elsa couldn't resist glancing back.

The Ella Bailey who had always flaunted her strength and pride now looked like a child who had lost her most treasured possession.

Her shoulders shook, her helplessness and despair stark and overwhelming.
