The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 334

Tobias met her gaze and said nothing, but the complex look in his eyes said it all.

Victoria looked at Garnett, her heart feeling as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, a sharp, painful grip.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so nosy and asked that nurse. If I had just kept my mouth shut, Mr. Sanger wouldn't have..." Mr. Flint was filled with self-blame, wishing he could just slap himself. "Victoria, if you want to blame someone, blame me. It was my big mouth that caused this trouble. I..."

Victoria forced the pain down and shook her head. "Mr. Flint, it's not your fault," she said hoarsely.

She knew in her heart that she had no reason to blame Mr. Flint.

He had only asked the nurse out of concern for Grady. Besides, who could have predicted that her father would regain consciousness at that exact moment and overhear their conversation?

Furthermore, even if Mr. Flint hadn't said anything, the truth about Grady's condition couldn't have been hidden for long.

Victoria quickly composed herself. "So, does this mean his memory will return once the blood clot in his brain dissipates?"

She wasn't sure if she should feel more relieved or more worried. On one hand, she was relieved that Garnett had forgotten what happened to Grady, allowing him to temporarily escape the grief and focus on his treatment. On the other hand, she was worried because it meant Garnett would have to endure the shock of Grady's condition a second time. When that day came, no one knew if he would react the same way, or if things would be even worse.

"Yes, but the clot in Mr. Sanger's brain is too large now. He needs a craniotomy to have it removed."

At the word 'surgery,' all sorts of terrible images flashed through Victoria's mind, and her face paled. "...Is the surgery dangerous?"

"Don't worry. The success rate for this surgery is very high, and the one performing it is the top neurosurgeon. The operation will only be done when Mr. Sanger is in optimal physical condition," Tobias reassured her gently.

'Success rate is very high.'

Hearing those words, Victoria reached out and took Garnett's hand again, as if only the warmth of his palm could bring a moment of peace to her troubled heart.

Not long after, Victoria fell asleep.

She was sitting in the chair by the bed, her eyes slowly closing, her long lashes casting a faint shadow beneath her eyes. Her head began to nod forward uncontrollably.
