Chapter 594 All I could do at that moment was to comply, "Alright, I agree." "You first make her put Ramona down. If she drops her, you won't get anything, and you'll also end up behind bars." Victor looked at Pearl, "Put mom down first." Pearl, wary, scanned the hospital room, "Get these bodyguards out of here." Gregory gestured with his hand.
Once the bodyguards left the room, Pearl demanded, "Bring my daughter closer!" Hearing this, Lucius, following Gregory's nod, walked over and placed Dorothy on the bed near the window.
Glancing around and seeing something, he turned back and gave Gregory a look.
"Gregory." Dailey walked in, handing Gregory a brown paper bag.
He glanced at Christine but didn't linger.
Gregory passed the brown paper bag to Victor, who eagerly took it.
After carefully reviewing the contents and double-checking, Victor signed his name.
He then walked towards Pearl.

"Put Ramona down." Gregory's voice was cold.
Pearl pulled out a syringe, pressing its sharp tip against Ramona's neck.
My heart clenched at the sight.
Gregory, holding my hand without any change in expression, said, "The Myers family is right here. Even if you take Ramona now, aren't you still in Vista Town?" His tone was questioning, without much fluctuation, but Pearl wasn't a fool; she could sense the threat in his words.

Together with Pearl, they lowered Ramona.
The sky outside was overcast, with thunder rumbling.
"Bring Dorothy over." Victor obeyed Pearl's command.
I faintly saw a ladder swaying in the air by the window.
Then, a safety rope was thrown in.
"Put this on her." Victor did as instructed.
After securing Dorothy, he wrapped the safety ropes around both Pearl and himself, fastening the safety locks.
He climbed up the ladder first, waiting.

She looked dazed, unresponsive when called.
Gregory carried Ramona to the bed, called for a doctor, and after instructing Lucius, rubbed his temples wearily before apoloel.ne to me.
"Sorry, this was my mismanagement, and I arrived too late." "You organized everything well," I defended.
Gregory couldn't possibly dedicate every hour of his day solely to us, ye neglecting everything else. And yet, despite being right beside Ramona, this still happened.
I shook my head, "It's not your fault. It's mine." Gregory, fearing this self-blame, frowned, "Don't take everything upon yourself." "It was me. I was careless." Despite suspicions, I still brought Ramona to the hospital.
"You couldn't have controlled it," Gregory tried to reassure me. "No matter how how cautiqux you are, you couldn't have anticipated Victor would exploit his mother's affection in such a manner." Find True.
How could I have imagined that Victor, for the sake of wealth, would sake of disregard even his own mother's life? "Gregory." He looked at me, "Yes, tell me." Holding back tears, I spoke firmly, "The Myers family can't go to Ashburn >
