Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 267

Upon hearing Victoria's words, Jack's face remained calm, but his pupils trembled ever so slightly.

His heart felt like it was being clenched. His eyes were dark as he stared at Victoria unblinkingly. His voice inexplicably became deep and magnetic, "So, give me an answer now?"

Victoria raised her little chin arrogantly, "You eat first, I'll tell you after breakfast!"

Jack raised his brows imperceptibly, a little surprised, then lowered his eyes and chuckled lightly, helplessly, and indulgently saying, "Victoria, don't bully me, okay?"

The tone sounded a bit aggrieved and pitiful.

Victoria instantly became annoyed and said, "Who bullied you!"

The man slowly cast a glance at the breakfast on the table, lifted his eyelids, and looked at her delicate and bright face, "Do you think I still have the mood to eat now?"

Victoria was bemused.

"Eat even if you're not in the mood!"

He's so fragile right now, how can he not eat?

Besides, she needs a few minutes to prepare, right?

In a melodramatic idol drama she watched before, a girl confessed to the boy in a large pink flower sea. It might be cliché, but it was beautifully arranged and sincere.

She was now in the cold and clear ward, telling Jack that she was willing to be with him. Wouldn't it be too shabby?

But it was too late to arrange the flowers at the last minute.

Victoria recalled another cheesy idol drama where a boy confessed to a girl while riding a hot air balloon ten thousand meters high. Although they almost fell to their deaths in the end...

But, admittedly, the hot air balloon was quite interesting!

Should she compromise and set up a hot air balloon?

No way!

Jack was so delicate now, and his face was still pale. It was better not to mess around!

Victoria glanced at the cold and clear ward, then at the delicate and weak Jack, she felt extremely anxious, almost losing her hair in worry.

Seeing that Jack was not eating, she became even more worried.

"Hurry up and eat, what are you staring at me for?"

Jack looked at her calmly, and his eyebrows slightly raised, "Victoria, what are you thinking?"

"I... It's none of your business!" Victoria retorted, trying to sound tough, and came up with an excuse, "I'm thinking about what if you didn't wake up today."

Hearing this, Jack thought about it seriously.

After saying it, she regretted it immediately, patting her mouth, blinking her big eyes, "Oops, I said nonsense! You must wake up!"

The man's handsome face still carried a hint of paleness due to illness, a faint redness at the corners of his eyes. Seeing Victoria's cute appearance, he couldn't help but lowly chuckle. That curved lip seemed to be a demon awakening in the mortal realm.

Victoria had known that he was handsome, but at this moment, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The man's voice was hoarse, with a hint of lazy sexiness, "I thought about it. It's okay if I don't wake up."

Victoria frowned, not liking to hear such words.

Jack spoke slowly and with extreme rationality,

"You are my wife, the first line of succession. If I die, you can inherit all my wealth and power. Then you can live a comfortable life and do whatever you want, so I can also rest assured."

As he finished speaking, Victoria's mind shook intensely. It took her a while to find her voice, "Why... why are you thinking about such things?"

Jack lightly curved his lips, as if stating the most normal thing, "Considering everything for my little Victoria, isn't that how it ought to be?"

Considering everything for her...

Isn't that how it ought to be...

How was it supposed to be?

Victoria asked worriedly, "Director, how is this kind of headache treated? Is it going to happen from time to time? That's so uncomfortable."

Even if he can endure this headache without painkillers this time, what about next time? And the time after that?

It's better to treat it thoroughly now.

The director explained, "Miss Montgomery, rest assured for now. We will formulate an appropriate treatment plan and see if traditional medicine or Western medicine can cure it."

Victoria said, "Good, thank you all for your efforts."

It lasted for more than twenty minutes before Jack's headache dissipated.

After the director left the ward, Victoria looked at the man's sickly pale face, and her heart throbbed. If Jack hadn't saved her when the chandelier fell, he would have been fine.

She didn't want Jack to suffer because of her.

Seeing Victoria's sorrowful expression, Jack helplessly shook his head and pulled her closer, "Don't think too much, it doesn't hurt, eh?"

"I'm not a child, you can't fool me."

Jack chuckled lightly, his eyes filled with dark light, and he opened his arms wide, "Well then, Victoria, hug me, and the pain will go away."

Victoria stared blankly.

She's not a child, and that phrase won't deceive her.

But Victoria still hugged him without hesitation.

Not long after, Michael, Ralph, and Arnold, upon hearing that Jack was awake, all came to visit.

Seeing that Jack was fine, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Jack's face was still a little pale. The three of them stayed in the ward for a while, then stopped disturbing them and left.

Victoria followed Arnold to the outside of the ward and asked, "What about the matter of Amelia secretly selling Montgomery Corporation's shares?"
