Chapter 613 I chuckled lightly, "Still don't know if it's a boy or a girl." Christine replied with a smile, "That's just my wishful thinking. But of course, I'll love the kid to bits even if it's a godson." "Alright, tto sleep." She tuckedin.

I was already exhausted, having stayed up just to keep my grandmother company.

I fell asleep almost as soon as I closed my eyes.

I slept well, dreamlessly.

The next morning, hunger wokeup, and in my half-awake state, I caught a hint of a delicious smell.

"Smells good, doesn't it?" Focusing my eyes, I saw Christine waving a plate of shrimp and grits in front of me.

I couldn't help but laugh, "You're so childish." She wore it as a badge of honor, "Proud to be." She set up a small table and laid out breakfast.

"Where's Ramona?" I got up to check on Ramona and freshen up, but found her bed empty.

"Ramona's been up for a while. She didn't want to wake you since you were sleeping so soundly. Let's have breakfast and then visit Victor." I nodded and headed for the bathroom.

Following me, Christine mused, "I wonder if Victor will ever turn out to be a good son once he wakes up." I nearly swallowed my toothpaste and quickly spit it out, asking, "Victor's awake?" "No, no," she quickly corrected herself, “Just a hypothetical." "Even though I'm not a fan of Victor, it's heartbreaking to see Ramona age so much over this. Losing a child at her age would be devastating." Despite Victor's wrongdoings, we never wished him harm.

Losing a child is one of life's greatest sorrows.

I couldn't bear the thought of Ramona going through that pain.

Across the ocean.

Gregory arrived at the hotel.

Lucius reported on their work progress. Seeing Gregory rubbing his temples, Lucius knew he was exhausted from the lack of sleep. "Gregory, you should rest." Gregory simply hummed in agreement.

Lucius headed next door. The flight last night was the first the'd managed to get a full eight sleep in days.

When he woke up, Gregory was already having breakfast.

of "Gregory," he chuckled awkwardly, "you could've wokenup." Gregory's voice was lazy, "Can't have you working to death. Finding a new assistant would be too much hassle." Lucius felt a warm fuzziness inside. His Gregory was finally speaking kindly.

"I feel like ever since your wife got pregnant, you've softened a lot." Gregory just smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

Victor woke up a week later.

Once it was clear he was out of danger, he was moved to a VIP room.

But when Ramona and I went to see him, something felt off.

He actually smiled atand patted the bed forto sit next to him.

That wasn't the most shocking part.

The real shock was when he clung to Ramona's hand, whining, "Mommy, I'm hungry. I want to eat.”

I was stunned, and before I could react, my phone rang, forcingto step out onto the balcony to take the Rout call. When I returned, Dr. Andrews was examining Victor.

Christine had finished her work and cby too.

Seeing my troubled expression, she asked, "What's wrong? Did Victor upset you again?" I shook my head, pulling Christine close, at a loss for words.

"Why does he keep staring and smiling at you like that?" Christine whispered in my ear.

I clenched my hands, "He..." "Ms. Webster, could you step outside withfor a moment?" Dr. Andrews interrupted.

I immediately followed him to the door, while Ramona, though wanting to listen, was held back by Victor's t grip.

"It appears the poison has damaged his brainstem. Considering his m condition, it's a miracle he survived. The intellectual impairment is unfortunate but expected."

It tooka few seconds to process, "You mean, he's injured his brain, and he'll be like this from now on?"
