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.

Even though Victor and I weren’t close, the word “death” made my heart skip a beat.

Gregory took his phone back. “Almost was.”

“Is Victor in your custody now?”

“In the ICU.”

“So, you came back because you saw this?”

Gregory nodded, “I remembered Ramona likes to fiddle with her phone after her afternoon nap. I thought you’d see it first.”
