Chapter 609



I tapped Gregory on the shoulder. "Quit it, the little one can hear you."

Gregory let out a tsk, his expression a mix of annoyance and resentment.

I started massaging his shoulders, "You've been stressed out lately, huh? Let me help you relax a bit."

Gregory grabbed my hand, saying, "Stop, your effort feels like you're just tickling me."

Only when I saw him return to his usual self, did I share, "Ramona suddenly fell ill, mumbling about needing to see Victor. But I haven't mentioned Victor to her recently, nor have I shown her anything about him."

Gregory tossed his phone to me.

I glanced down to see a news alert.

Even though Victor and I weren't close, the word "death" made my heart skip a beat.

"Is this for real?"

Gregory took his phone back. "Almost was."

"Is Victor in your custody now?"

"In the ICU."
