Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 244

“No, Victoria. Ever since you accepted me as your mother, I’ve truly let go of all my regrets,” Daisy said, wiping away a tear. “Honestly, I was the one who struggled with not having children, not your dad. He never once thought I owed him anything. If I wanted to have a child, he would love our baby simply because he loves me.”

“Your dad always said, if living is just about having a child and you could do it with just anyone, then what’s the point of life? That would make you nothing more than a puppet, controlled and existing only to contribute to humanity’s reproduction,” Daisy added.

Victoria shared the same thoughts.

Born with nothing, gone with nothing.

All that stuff about keeping the family line going? It’s just smoke and mirrors. Once you’re gone, the lights go out, and everything disappears.

Everyone lives their own life.

Some people believe having kids matters more than true love, and that’s perfectly valid.

‘It’s just a matter of personal choice. She thought.

Daisy smiled, a hint of sadness in her eyes. “Getting old makes you reminisce about the past. Anyway, Victoria, go freshen up and change. I’ll wait for you downstairs for breakfast.”

“Okay,” Victoria replied.

After Daisy left, Victoria lingered by the bed, not rushing to freshen up.

She gently stroked Greenie’s head as he nuzzled up to her.

“Mom always says she’s happy to have me, but deep down, she must still wish she could have her own flesh and blood, someone she gave birth to herself,” Victoria said, catching the lingering sadness in Daisy’s eyes.

Greenie couldn’t really understand what was troubling his owner.

He just cocked his head to the side.

For creatures like him, mating and reproduction were pure instinct–no emotions mixed in.

In their world, only the strong survive, and they do everything they can to make sure their bloodline lives on.

Victoria knew Daisy hadn’t gone through menopause yet, so as long as her health was good, she could still get

pregnant.

Before, Victoria’s main concern was the risks of being an older mother.

But maybe, with her medical skills, she could make sure both Daisy and the baby would be safe.

Still, even if she could help Daisy get her body ready for pregnancy, she’d have to talk it over with Hector first.

After freshening up, Victoria picked out a coordinated warm brown outfit from the clothes Daisy had brought —a light brown knit top paired with a dark brown skirt patterned with small checks. She finished the look with a silk scarf tied at the back of her neck, adding both poise and softness to her style.

In front of the vanity, she applied a simple, matching makeup look, then tucked Greenie and Whitey into her bag and headed downstairs.

“Dad, my car was acting up yesterday. I’m gonna ask the butler to get someone to check it out and do some maintenance. Can you give me a ride to work later?” Victoria said after breakfast.

“Yeah, no problem,” Hector replied with a nod.

Daisy gave Victoria a thoughtful look, wanting to say something, but in the end, she just kept quiet, thinking maybe she was overthinking things.

After they got the car from the garage and got in, Hector glanced over at Victoria.

“Victoria, is there something you want to talk to me about?” he asked.

“Dad, you noticed again, huh?” Victoria said with a smile.

Hector smiled. “I’ve been with your mom for almost thirty years. Even when she’s smiling, I can always read what’s going on in her eyes. Something must’ve happened when she brought you those clothes, right?”

Victoria didn’t hide anything–she honestly shared everything she and Daisy had talked about with Hector.

“I see…” Hector said, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. “Honestly, I’m not as great as your mom makes me out

in confinement after giving birth to Sirena. It was so sudden–no one saw coming, You’d think ne woman survives childbirth, she’s out of the woods, but who could’ve imagined she’d die somergenty during the postpartum period?” Hector said, his voice still heavy with regret

He paused, clearly still struggling to let it go. “When your mom had surgery for that uterine save. I was scared something might go wrong. Even now, I’ve never regretted staying with her instead of dorcing and remarrying.”

“Honestly, if Grandpa only had me and was so desperate for a grandchild that he’d threaten me with his os life, I can’t say for sure I’d still have the guts to stick by your mom like I do now, Hector akriter

Victoria was surprised, but she couldn’t help admiring Hector’s honesty. “Dad, you really are honer, se vad a hint of awe in her voice.

Hector said, “That’s just how it is. You can’t always live just for yourself. Honestly, I was pretty thankf Darell and Julia back then–they kept the Binder family line going, so your mom and I didn’t have all that weight on our shoulders. If we ever really wanted a kid, I figured, hey, we could just adopt one together big deal.”

“But your grandpa cared a lot about keeping things in the family, so the whole adoption idea was off the table He even considered having Sirena’s second child adopted by me and your mom, but after she had her son, she just couldn’t have another kid—nobody really knew why,” Hector explained.

Victoria let out a soft sigh, finally getting it. “Ah, so that’s how it is…”

Hector continued, “After that, your mom and I went to bring you home. When Daisy saw you, her heart just broke–she couldn’t wrap her head around how her own daughter had to endure so much for twenty years. So when you told her you wanted to call her Mom, she was so moved, she could barely contain herself. Having you as her daughter has brought her happiness every single day since.”

Victoria said, “Dad, no matter how happy Mom is to have me, I bet deep down she still wishes she could have a child of her own.”

Hector paused, looking a bit puzzled. “Victoria, what do you mean?”

“Dad, I’m confident in my medical skills. If I take special care preparing Mom’s body, I’m pretty sure I could help her get pregnant.”

Victoria said, hesitating as she spoke. “But there are real risks–Mom’s not young anymore, and since this would be her first pregnancy rather than a second, it’s more dangerous. Worst case, we could lose both her and the baby… and honestly, that’s terrifying to even think about.”

Hector cut her off right away. “Don’t even think about it. At our age, I’m not having another kid. Even if your mom really wants one, I’m not going to agree.”
