Chapter 598 When Christine found out about Ramona's illness, she was in disbelief.

"No way, how could this happen?" Seeing my spirits down, she wrapped an arm around my shoulder, offering comfort, "Life's unpredictable. But Ramona's been the rock of the Myers family. That just shows how strong she is, so don't worry too much. With Dr. Andrews and Mr. Abdul on the case, even if they can't cure her, they'll definitely keep things under control." "Ramona adores you. I'm sure she won't forget you that easily." I couldn't share her optimism, "It's not Ramona I'm worried about, it's this absurd disease." Christine was somewhat familiar with Alzheimer's.

It's known to turn sweet old folks into strangers, sometimes violent. They wouldn't listen to reason and often wander off when no one's watching, getting lost or worse.

Caring for someone with Alzheimer's is a whole other level of commitment.

"I get how tough this is on you." Christine squeezed my hand, "But you're pregnant, remember? You can't afford to stress out. Didn't the doctor just tell you to take it easy?" "I haven't forgotten..." It's just that everything seemed to happen so fast, one crisis after another.

I thought we were finally moving past the hard times, that Gregory and I could start to enjoy speace.

But then the pregnancy brought its own set of challenges.

"Worst comes to worst, if Ramona insists on finding Victor, we'll cross that bridge when we cto it." "Worrying now won't help." Christine's mention of the baby madetouch my belly, feeling a bit uneasy.

I had just gone through a scare of nearly losing the baby.

Even with my worries for Ramona, I knew I had to keep calm.

"Thanks, Chris." My hand brushed over her injured shoulder, “Does it hurt much?" Chris chuckled, "Hey, I'm tougher than I look. A cut on my shoulder is nothing. I'm just glad it wasn't you in harm's way." "Just seeing Victor charge at you stopped my heart." "I was shocked he was unharmed, and even more that he was after you." "Even tigers don't eat their cubs!" At that, I was stunned, "Victor did that to you?" Chris hesitated, then sighed, "I... should probably get srest..." "Gregory told you not to tell me, didn't he?" I cut straight to the point.

Chris slapped her forehead, "My big mouth strikes again." I grabbed her hand, "I can handle it. Leavinghanging will just makeworry more." "Just don't tell Gregory, or he'll never forgive me." "I promise." I nodded eagerly, "Why would I want you two at odds? That's the last thing I'd enjoy."

Chris seemed relieved, advising, "Look, you and Victor share but blood. No real core nothing feelings. Just treat him like a no stranger from now on." I agreed.

Seeing my mood stabilize, Chris continued, "If it weren't for Victor's sudden attack, Pear would never have had her chance. You were surrounded by bodyguards. "Everyone froze, especially since you're pregnant. They were all focused on you." "And when the bodyguards tookto get patched up, Pearl found her opening." "I owe you an apology for not keeping a closer eye on Ramona as I promised." Looking at her injury, I felt guilty, "I should be the one apologizing..." "Nonsense!"

Chris tapped my head, "Think about it. Whose shoulder is more valuable? I'm just a marketer; I can do my job with my voice alone. A little-injuryn won't kilkme. But you? You're a designer. If anything happened to your arms, it would be gover for Janedream. I'd be back to living paycheck to paycheck. So, it's not really about taking a bullet for you, but ensuring my own comfortable life, you know?" "Besides, if anyone owesan apology, it's Victor. I still can't wrap my head around what kind of poison his stepmom fed him to make him turn on his own mother like e that.”
