Victoria frowned slightly, "What happened?"
Travis hesitated for two seconds and spoke softly, "At that time, my aunt and uncle had just passed away, and Jack watched them pass away."
Victoria's heart tightened.
Did Jack's parents pass away at that time?
At that time, Jack was only a few years old, and he watched his parents leave him...
No wonder he was in such a bad state at the time, lifeless, cold, and detached, not talking to anyone, as if closing himself in a transparent shell.
Victoria later heard about the passing of Jack's parents but didn't know when.
She didn't dare to ask Jack, afraid of causing him sadness, but she didn't expect it to be during that time.
Carl sighed. Compared to his usual demeanor, he seemed a bit more refined and sensible at the moment, "Victoria, luckily you were with Jack at that time, warming him like the little sun."
Victoria quickly and modestly waved her hand, "It wasn't just me, my grandparents were also with him."
Carl was bemused...
Victoria, why are you such a straightforward girl?
He wasted so many brain cells just to come up with an artistic and pretentious sentence!
However, Victoria was thinking, that when Jack had his birthday in childhood, she always gave him handmade gifts.
How about making a gift by hand this year too?
But what was there to do?
Make a wreath? Those were all children's playthings.
How about...designing an outfit for him?
But his birthday is in a few days, so the time is too tight.
Victoria pursed her lips and calculated the time in her mind. If she stayed up all night in the next few days, she should be able to make it in time.
That night, Victoria drew up the design.
Then bought the materials to make them by hand.
After two nights of staying up late, dark circles appeared under Victoria's eyes. She tore off a piece of face mask and applied it while staying up all night.
During this time, Victoria was also taken by Mabel to attend a music awards ceremony.
Travis won the Most Popular Male Singer award.
As SG, Victoria won the Best Arrangement Award and the Best Composition Award.
In the audience, Eric also attended the awards ceremony. Although his star career was ruined, and he lost countless fans, he was once a popular singer, so the organizers invited him.
Thinking that Eric was now in trouble, even if invited, he would find a reason to refuse to attend.
Unexpectedly, not only did Eric attend, but he also arrived early.
Along with Eric, there was also Dempsey.
The surrounding celebrities saw the two of them, thinking about the confession letters they posted online, and the bullying they had done to their sister, all glared at them with contemptuous and disdainful eyes.
Eric and Dempsey were like dead pigs, not afraid of boiling water, and letting others scrutinize them.
As long as they could see Victoria, they would tolerate those contemptuous eyes!
The two sat in the audience, looking at Victoria, who came to the stage to accept the award, applauding so much that their hands were almost swollen.
Dempsey was excited, "Victoria is so beautiful and amazing!"
Eric was happy, "Victoria is amazing. This award has become more exclusive because of her!"
As soon as the awards ceremony ended, Victoria left the venue and hurried back to Pinecroft, to continue preparing a gift for Jack.
Dempsey and Eric chased after her, but they didn't even see her back.
The brothers glanced at each other and saw the desolation on each other's faces.
When can they talk to their sister again?
Finally, with Victoria's hard work and staying up late, she finished the handmade birthday gift for Jack the day before his birthday.
In the evening, Jack returned from the company.
