The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 455

Victoria held Emily's hand, feeling the faint warmth beneath her fingers.

It was only in moments like this that Emily seemed truly alive to her. Most of the time, seeing her lying there so still, Victoria could barely suppress her panic. Thank God, at least she'd found Stein again. She hadn't lost all her family. Victoria sat by Emily's bedside, talking to her as if they were having a casual chat.

"Aunt Edith, I brought you here to Evermore City. The hospital here is even better than the one back in Starfall. And I found my real brother-Stein. He promised he'll do everything he can to help you get better."

She spoke to her aunt just as she used to, pouring out all the things she'd been holding in. These past months, the pregnancy had left her exhausted. She hadn't had the strength to go out, and it had been four or five months since she'd last visited.

"Aunt Edith, you probably haven't heard-Simms isn't my real father. I guess that's why he never liked me. Stein's my brother, and he's been so good to me. It's just a shame our father-well, mine and Stein's-passed away. I wonder if he's found Mom, wherever they are. Even though Mom never got to be with the man she loved, she still chose to have me and gave me life."

Victoria's voice trembled with sorrow, missing the way Emily's eyelids fluttered ever so slightly.

"Aunt Edith, I got divorced from McNeil. There was never a place for me in his heart. Still, I had twins with him-a boy and a girl, both beautiful. My daughter looks just like me. When you're feeling better, I'll bring them to see you."

Victoria squeezed her aunt's hand, her words tumbling out in a rush. "Aunt Edith, I've started making moves to take back Golden Era Enterprises. Yulia and Simms have been hiding a daughter all these years-I only found out this past year. It's too bad Mom and Grandpa are both gone; if they were here, I'd show them I can bring the Turner family back where it belongs.
