Benjamin's untreated wound had escalated into a severe infection, accompanied by a rising fever.Yves was on the brink of desperation.He knelt beside Benjamin, pleading, "Ben, let someone tend to your wounds and at least eat something. You can't continue like this. Your body won't be able to take it. Ben, Mrs. B—"Yves had intended to assure that Victoria would be fine, but the words eluded him.Three days had passed, surpassing the crucial 72-hour golden rescue window.Even if they found her, it was likely a cold, waterlogged corpse. Yet, they hadn't even found a body.Yves couldn't shake the thought of the worst possible outcome.He understood that Benjamin had likely considered the worst-case scenario but couldn't come to terms with it.Unable to offer further reassurance, Yves sat on the ground, biting his lips. This very same man had tears streaming down his face, his sobbing intensifying with each passing moment.Choked up, he embraced Benjamin and let out a heartfelt w

Silas paled when he saw Wendy's attitude.He walked to Wendy's side and summoned his courage to call out tentatively, "Wendy."Wendy was beyond livid. She could only think about the fact that Victoria was injured everywhere and might remain in a coma forever.Her eyes widened as she looked at Yves who was speaking on behalf of Benjamin and Ethan. His words were like daggers to her heart.She spat, "You're right, it's none of you guys' fault. It's all Victoria's fault for having such good taste in outstanding men."Her sense of justice was too strong, and she poked her nose too much into other people's businesses. She just had to get herself involved in this matter."She shouldn't have gone back to Youngville. She wouldn't have encountered all these things if she hadn't gone back to Youngville and never met all of you!"Victoria was such an outstanding person. She was the best among us. Such a wonderful person—""Wendy!" Yves turned around and called her name in rage, covering h

Yves was about to follow Sean, but he was stopped by Sevyn.Sevyn said, "Enough, we shouldn't join in if they're to talk business. How are you even willing to look at that poker face of Will? We can just guard Mr. Harper here!"Yves snorted angrily and said, "Stop fooling around. Don't think I don't know that you're in the same circle as Will. Whatever the case, I won't let any of you do this!"…On the other side, Will was talking to Sean."Mr. Harper is weak both physically and mentally now. You should hypnotize him and make him forget about that woman!"Sean replied, "What do you mean "that woman"? That's Mrs. Harper, show some respect!"Will was startled.He frowned before saying, "Yves is an idiot, but why are you talking nonsense just like him now? Not any woman would be a good match for Mr. Harper. She'd just be a burden to him, no matter dead or alive."You're a doctor, you'd know best about Mr. Harper's current condition. He might not even wake up if he can't forget a

In an estate located at a tripoint somewhere around Yrinas, Victoria was walking up the slopes of the lawn. Her fair skin was reddening and beaded with sweat.Victoria looked at Wendy, who was worried, but she did not pause her steps.She said, "Do I still need to rest? I've been left rotting on the bed for a good half year. I'd go crazy if I were to lie down again."My body functions have deteriorated since I've been down for so long. I need to restore my previous physical fitness as soon as possible so that I can go find Benjamin soon."There's also that Jackalyn. I'd be dead meat if I were to meet her again next time without recovering completely."Until now, Victoria could still feel the piercing pain throughout her entire body whenever she thought of the time she fell off the plane into the sea.She couldn't just let it be since she'd suffered greatly.Wendy frowned when she heard Victoria mentioning Benjamin.Victoria realized something was wrong. She stopped to wipe off

Lena lowered her gaze.Victoria's arm was placed on the edge of the bench. Her thumb was unconsciously rubbing on it forcefully.It was as if she was venting.She looked distracted. It was unsure what she had been thinking but it made her mood down.Lena held onto her hand.She had wanted to comfort Victoria at first. But her words unknowingly changed as soon as they left her lips."Has Wendy told you about Benjamin Harper's matter? How much have you suffered for him already? You've almost lost your life in the process."Even though you regained your consciousness now, you're still so young. What if you developed some disease that couldn't be treated completely?"You've shown him such a big act of kindness, but instead he forgot about you as soon as he could. He's even hooked up with the woman that wanted to kill you."What is there for you to linger on with such a man like that?"The more Lena spoke, the angrier she got. The way she felt unfair for Victoria was exactly like
