Thea shrugged. She had a graceful and nonchalant demeanor. “Naturally, I am willing to take care of Dad without holding any grudges. I’m just afraid that he might feel distant from me, as he only wants to be with my sister.”
Victoria looked very embarrassed
She was not capable of taking care of Master Moore, so whether Thea handed over this hot potato to her or not, she neither accepted nor declined.
Come on, burdened with the heavy weight of life, she had no income and could only beg even more humbly from the Hill family. She truly lived like a beggar.
She refused, but Master Moore had given her his life savings and love. She did not want to bear the name of being unfilial.
The doctor said again, “You can go in and visit the patient.”
Nathan pushed Victoria eagerly into the ward. Meanwhile, Thea followed from a distance, her face calm and composed.
In the ward, Master Moore had just undergone a surgery and was extremely weak. His old eyes were half closed, and his once plump face now appeared so thin that only his skin could be seen. His physical vitality seemed to have completely disappeared, resembling an elderly person at the end of their
rope.
Victoria saw Master Moore like this and instantly burst into

tears.
“Dad, how did you become like this? You had to get better, your daughter still needed you.”
Thea teased, “You really are an eternal baby.”
Master Moore heard Thea’s voice and suddenly a look of fear appeared on his face, and his body began to tremble.
“She was a devil…”
“The devil…”
“She was not Isabella…”
He timidly dared not look into Thea’s eyes.
Nathan stared at Thea with skepticism and asked, “What did you do to him?”
Thea glared at Nathan and said, “Have you lost your mind? What can I do to him? He’s in jail, it’s not like I can do anything to him even if I wanted to.”
Then, he casually said, “He probably went crazy in prison after being traumatized. I heard it’s quite chaotic in there…”
Victoria looked at the delirious Master Moore and broke down. Her safety net was gone, and she felt fearful and lost about the future.
“Dad…”
“He’s not dead yet, why are you crying?” Thea scolded her.

Nathan stared at Thea with a fixed gaze. She showed no sympathy or sorrow for Master Moore’s misfortune, only a sadistic joy. Thea’s heartlessness made him feel fearful.

“Thea, you have seen it too. Your father is now unable to take care of himself, and both you and Victoria are his daughters. However, Victoria’s health is so poor, so during this time, I hope you can take on the responsibility of taking care of Master Moore,” Nathan said confidently.
Thea said, “Nathan, I called him dad once, but do you really think he deserves to be my father? Let me tell you, this man not only never supported me, but also conspired with you to take away my kidney. I don’t care about his life or death.”
“He gave the best love of his life to Victoria, and he also squandered all his assets on her without any compensation. Now that he has no utility, you want to abandon him? Such behavior will be despised by thousands of people.”
Nathan was speechless.
He didn’t expect Thea to be so petty now.
After Thea finished speaking, she seemed afraid that Master Moore would cling to her, so she walked away in high heels.
Victoria looked helplessly at Nathan and said, “Nathan, what should I do?”
She herself was already a burden and now she had to add another burden. Nathan had to support two dependent patients, and it can be imagined how terrible his mood was.
He did not answer Victoria, he just said lightly, “I’m going out for

a smoke.”
Victoria watched as he wearily walked away, tears streaming down her face.
Madam Hill, contrary to her expectations, did not have a retinue of servants nor did she lead a lavish and extravagant life. She lived in such misery, which she had never anticipated.
Even in such a miserable life, she had to desperately hold on, because if Nathan didn’t want her anymore, she would truly have no way out.
Victoria touched her stomach… She could only take a risk for the present situation.
Nathan paid the medical expenses for Master Moore and Victoria, and hired a nurse, causing his assets to shrink again.
He looked at his wallet, which couldn’t seem to expand no matter what, and once again felt lost and hopeless about the future.
What made him even more desperate was that Alaric suddenly appeared at the hospital.
At that time, Nathan was exhaustedly taking care of Master Moore and then turned to take care of Victoria.
Alaric saw a tired, haggard Nathan, who had been worn down by life to the point where he could no longer stand up straight, and disappointment was written all over his face.
“Is this the wife you risked everything to marry? Look at what she has brought you,” Alaric, disregarding Victoria’s dignity,

angrily shouted at Nathan.

Tears streamed down Victoria’s face, but being dependent on others, she had no right to resist.
Nathan hung his head and, for the first time, did not argue with his father.
Mrs. Hill loved her son dearly and only protected Nathan, blaming Victoria for all the pain and suffering.
“I have said it before, this woman has a mean face, she has harmed my family’s Nathan. As long as they get divorced, my family’s Nathan will surely regain ts former sharpness.”
Victoria shrank back, crying and pleading with Mrs. Hill, “Mother, I beg you, please don’t separate me from Nathan. I truly love Nathan…”
Mrs. Hill interrupted forcefully, “Love him? How did you love him? Forcing him to leave his family and work hard to support you, this useless person? And now you have to support your useless father too? Look at him, he’s lost weight and turned so dark. If you truly love him, how can you bear to let him suffer like this?”
Nathan listened numbly to the argument between his mother and wife, feeling powerless to resolve the conflict between them. However, when Mrs. Hill accused Victoria, a terrifying thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Did Victoria really love him?
Still – do you need him?

If it is the latter, then what does his years of dedication to her count for?
Just a joke.
Victoria faced Madam Moore’s aggressive questioning, and she didn’t know how to argue back. She felt as if someone had stripped her naked and exposed her to the sun, leaving all her shameful thoughts exposed.
She admitted that she had taken advantage of Nathan’s feelings.
He was also really adorable.
However, she loved herself more
She could never let Nathan think that way, so Victoria chose to
escape.
She just excitedly retorted, “No, Mom, it’s not like that, I really love Nathan…” Then she fainted.
Nathan was furious with Mrs. Hill and said, “Mom, did you really have to be so harsh? She’s already going through so much, why do you have to push her even further?”
Mrs. Hill looked at Nathan, who was in unbearable pain. Despite all the grievances and resentments, he was her own flesh and blood, and she simply couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
She pleaded with Alaric, “You have seen it too, Nathan is living so miserably now. After all, you are his biological father, can you really just ignore him?”
Alaric looked at his son, who had lost weight, and sighed heavily,
