The call ended without further ado.
Unexpectedly, after freshening up and stepping out of my room, I spotted Ramona, all flustered and rushing out.
"Ramona, where are you headed?" I called out to her, closing the distance only to notice her pale complexion, which sent waves of panic through me. "What's wrong? Are you feeling okay?"
"I need to get to the hospital," she responded hurriedly, forgetting even to change her shoes before heading out the door.
Without a second thought, I followed her, "Ramona!"
Given that Gregory had been tied up with work and dealing with the Myers family affairs was bound to be a hassle, he had assigned a bodyguard to me.
"I'll come with you, don't worry," I assured her, calling for the bodyguard and helping Ramona into the car.
"Head to the city hospital," Ramona instructed.
Suddenly, I remembered the call I had received earlier. "Ramona, did the hospital call you about Victor being in an accident?"
She nodded, "No one was there to sign the consent form for surgery, so I asked the hospital to start resuscitation."
As she spoke, she seemed troubled. "Jane... if we don't save him, we might lose him."
Ramona's health hadn't been great, especially after being poisoned a couple of times. Though the toxins were cleared, her age made it harder for her to withstand such shocks.
Victor might have been reckless, but he was still her son, whom she had carried for nine months and raised with all her heart.
Ideally, the Myers estate was supposed to be his.
However, Ramona felt that Pearl had ulterior motives, which proved to be true.
Victor, easily swayed and without much of his own opinion, would just follow whatever Pearl suggested. This could not only lead to outsiders benefiting from the Myers family fortune but also disturb Ramona's peace in her later years.
But all of this was because Victor and I had no strong ties, allowing me to think more rationally.
Moreover, to secure the Myers estate, Victor and Pearl had stooped to lows like poisoning Ramona, not just once but repeatedly.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson)
This story is useless now. there is no essence. Jane is a whore, at least Bryant never sleep around. There was a misunderstanding between him and his step sister but he never slept with anyone. Bryant should just find a good woman by his side. Jane and Gregory will have a baby. Jane found her biological mother. So what else to be expect in this story?...
Who is the ML ? Hope its Greg.. but I kinda feel pity for Bryant too now.....
