StarNovelChapter 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? Lethelp 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.

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 cover, 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.

It's up to him now whether he wants the money or his wife and daughter." I held Gregory's hand tightly, "Josiah's no easy opponent; you have to be careful." But Gregory just pinched my face hard, "If you could just stay out of trouble, that'd be the real way to show you care about me." Yes, if I stayed out of trouble, he wouldn't have to be distracted protectingand could focus on handling the situation.
I looked up at him, "Can we not make this a habit, please?" Gregory looked into my eyes, and just when I thought he was going to lean in for a kiss, he stood up, "Don't tempt me." At the hospital.

"Gregory arranged it." Bella took it, appreciating the gesture, "He's thoughtful indeed." Lucius thought to himself, of course, he's trying to impress your daughter.
☐ After Bella finished the tea, feeling warmed up, she thought of updating Jane Webster about the situation but realized she didn't have her phone.
She asked Lucius for it, and he replied, "I've already briefed Gregory on everything. He'll inform Ms. Webster." Trusting Gregory's efficiency, Bella
said, "Alright, you go on with your tasks. Don't worry about me; bran take care of myself. I'm going to check on Ramona."
