Chapter 368

Kelvin noticed the color draining from Victoria's face, his worry growing with every second. “Are you alright?” he asked gently.

Victoria jerked her hand from his, her eyes turning colder by the moment. "I don't need your help."

Kelvin, a doctor by training, immediately realized something was wrong with her physically, but before he could act, Violet grabbed his arm.

"Didn't you hear her? She said she's fine. Besides, this whole place is crawling with her coworkers. What are you going to say if someone sees you?"

Kelvin shot Violet a look. "She's not well. I'm taking her to the hospital. Now."

Violet's gaze was icy. "Go ahead. It's none of my business. But if she dies, you'll be up to your neck in trouble—and good luck ever making it back to the mainland. Think it over."

"I can't just stand by and watch something happen to Victoria."

He reached out to steady Victoria, but she shoved him away hard. "I said I don't need your help. Ailie's just outside. If she sees her big brother's suddenly back, aren't you worried-"

Forcing herself to stand despite the pain, Victoria headed out in search of Ailie. At the mention of Ailie's name, Kelvin froze, caught off guard.
