In the ward.
Seeing that Jack had been exhausted all day, Mason could not help but advise, "Jack, you should rest for a while."
At this moment, Jack's entire attention was focused on Victoria. There was no way he could think of resting.
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
Mason wanted to persuade but then thought, Jack was so worried about Victoria, how could he be willing to rest?
Even he was reluctant to leave the ward at this moment, unwilling to let his daughter out of his sight.
Mason stopped persuading and instead turned to pour a glass of water for Alicia, soothingly putting his arm around his wife's shoulder.
Ralph seemed particularly depressed today. Looking at the girl on the sickbed, who was in a coma and seemed lifeless, his handsome face was filled with despair. His heart was filled with contradictions and self-blame. Was it because of the Preston family that she suffered?
If it weren't for the Preston family, how could Duke have retaliated against her...
Even though she was usually formidable, able to handle many things and turn the tide, she was ultimately just a young girl who shouldn't have to endure this...
To the side, Michael had just taken Victoria's temperature again, and fortunately, the fever had not risen again, and the situation had temporarily stabilized.
When he turned his head and saw Ralph's self-blaming expression, Michael was slightly startled. His brows furrowed as he glanced at his unconscious sister on the bed as if he understood something.
Michael patted Ralph's shoulder and led him out of the ward.
"What's wrong, big brother?"
Ralph asked in a hoarse voice as he stood in the corridor.
Michael's cold eyes and thin lips, his usual indifferent demeanor, rarely showed his emotions. In contrast, his younger brother, who usually wore a smile on his face, now looked gloomy and suppressed.
Michael was silent for a few seconds. His gaze slowly became distant, as if he was reminiscing about something. His expression was unusually gentle.
"I still remember how Victoria looked when she was born... At that time, she was so tiny, even a small toy could make her giggle. She had big eyes like black grapes, stretching out her short little hands asking me to hold her... I had never seen such a cute child before. At that time, I thought my sister was the cutest little doll in the world..."
It looked like a pink dumpling, white and tender, cute and delicate like a doll.
Ralph listened in a daze, not understanding why his brother suddenly brought up their sister's childhood, and he rarely spoke so much at once.
His memories of his sister's childhood were naturally not as profound as his brother's.
"It's a pity..." Michael's expression suddenly turned cold, "My sister had only been with us for a few months before she was secretly taken away by Duke's evil revenge, forcing her to leave us at such a young age..."
