Carl was also surprised. When his brother gave the bracelet to Victoria, he didn't say anything...
Victoria looked at the red jade bracelet on her wrist. It couldn't be described as valuable anymore; Jack was completely using his own life to protect her.
How could she bear to inflict her own suffering on him?
Victoria wanted to take off the bracelet.
Carl saw through her intention and immediately reached out to stop her. "Victoria, everything my brother has done for you is willingly and wholeheartedly! If you don't want him to suffer for you, then just protect yourself in the future. That way, it's a win-win!"
Victoria's heart trembled, her pale fingertips gently caressing the two red bean-like jadeite stones, silently nodding.
She looked at Jack, who had fallen into a coma on the hospital bed, and suddenly wanted to hear him call her "little Victoria". She suddenly missed the way he looked at her with his pitch-black, profound eyes, more than every moment before.
Carl now understood why his brother only gave the bracelet to Victoria and didn't say anything else. He probably just wanted to see her safe and happy, to see her go smoothly and worry-free, and not want to burden her!
Carl looked at the silent Victoria and couldn't help but think of the scene in the restaurant where the chandelier fell.
At that critical moment, he didn't react at all, only had time to remind Victoria to quickly get out of the way.
On the other hand, his brother ran over to protect Victoria so swiftly. The chandelier fell and landed on his body, leaving Victoria unscathed. It was evident how well his brother protected Victoria...
Time slowly passed in the silent night.
The medicine in the IV bag reached the bottom. Victoria called the nurse to remove the needle from Jack's body.
Several attending doctors also rushed over, which was unusual.
But the patient in this ward was not ordinary. The doctors nervously rechecked the patient's vital signs; fortunately, they were stable. Only then did they relax a bit.
After a few simple instructions, the doctors left the ward again.
The door to the ward closed.
Victoria sat in front of the hospital bed, holding the hand that had just been infused. Because of the IV, his hand was a bit cold. She gently wrapped both her hands around it, slowly warming it up.
Carl unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of water, and asked, "Victoria, are you sleepy? It's already late, if you are, you can rest on the accompanying bed next to you for a while, I'll stay by his side, It's the same!."
Victoria shook her head, "I'm not sleepy."
She didn't have the mood to sleep now.
"You said your brother mentioned me to you before, and what did he mention?" Victoria suddenly asked softly.
Carl recalled and sighed lightly, placing the water bottle aside. "My brother did mention you before, but I feel he was more concerned about you than talking about you."
Carl leaned closer to Victoria and lowered his voice, "The one I remember the most was a high-level meeting. I was there at that meeting because the Carter family and the Moore family cooperated. At that meeting, I noticed that my brother was listening to the reports of those department managers and was distracted, not knowing what he was thinking. That was strange, my brother is rarely distracted! I leaned over and saw him holding a pen! Unconsciously wrote two words on the paper!"
Carl's words were vivid, and Victoria's curiosity was piqued, "What words?"
Carl said, "Your name! Victoria Montgomery! He must have been thinking of you! Otherwise, why would he unconsciously write your name on the paper during a meeting?"
