Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel 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.

I glanced down to see a news alert.

Even though Victor and I weren't close, the word "death" made my heart skip a beat.

"Is this for real?"

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."

I felt a bit guilty, "My mom came over, and I got caught up talking to her. Didn't check my phone."

"How's Victor doing now?"

Gregory answered, "If we're lucky, he'll wake up. But it's uncertain what condition he'll be in."

Hearing this, I fell silent.

I wasn't particularly concerned about Victor's fate, but considering Ramona's condition, if she couldn't see Victor, she might not make it either.

A mother's heart, even if her son conspired with others to kidnap her, always holds a soft spot for him.

"As for the situation with Pearl,"

Gregory rubbed my head, continuing, "Josiah got away, but Pearl and Dorothy are with me."

"The Myers family's fortune, Josiah took it. It's up to him now whether he wants the money or his wife and daughter."
