The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2621
Clutching her head in agony, Victoria slumped to the floor.
Balfour stepped forward and took hold of her. It's all over now. All the kidnappers
have been caught.”
“Is it really over? But how can my life ever go back to what it was before?”
Victoria forced a wan smile, but Balfour remained silent.
Gently pushing him away, Victoria said, “You better keep your distance from me,
just like Mara said, I'm bad luck, and anyone who gets too close to me ends up
getting hurt.”
Balfour grasped her arm and said, “Calm down, your sister was just lashing out.
You don't actually believe that stuff, do you? She was just speaking out of anger.
You can't take it to heart.”
Victoria seemed dazed, unsure if she was even processing Balfour's words.
Alyssa couldn't stand by any longer and pulled the two of them up. “Balfour, she’s
not in a state to listen right now. Let's go home and find her a therapist. A
professional might get through to her better than your words right now.”
Balfour's frown deepened, but ultimately he nodded.
Though it seemed the ordeal was over, as she watched the distant look in
Victoria's eyes and Balfour's concerned glances back at Victoria, Alyssa sighed
heavily, suspecting there
was more to come.
Both youngsters were taken straight to the hospital. Despite appearing
unharmed, being in the clutches of those criminals meant they certainly hadn't
had an easy time.
Captain Aidan, on the other hand, was beside himself with excitement. The
operation gone incredibly smoothly. They had anticipated a tough fight with
Jaxon, the ringleade but things had fallen into place almost magically! Though
Elton had sustained serious injuries, the outcome was much better than they had
feared.
They had braced for the possibility that all three of them might be hurt, but it
seemed Victoria and Balfour were relatively okay on the surface. They sincerely
hoped Elton would be unscathed; after all, he was the pillar of the family.
At the hospital, it became clear that both Balfour and Victoria showed signs of
being physically assaulted. Victoria's injuries were minor compared to her
psychological
trauma.
“Grandma, I'm not going home tonight; I'll stay with my friend,” Balfour said,
concerned about Victoria being treated indifferently by the doctors. His
grandparents, of course, agreed.

“Just make sure you take care of yourself too. The doctor just gave you a shot for
the inflammation. If you start to run a fever in the night, call for help immediately,
understand?”
Balfour nodded. “Don’t worry, I'll take good care of myself.”.

He was young and resilient, and everyone expected a quick recovery, not making
too much of the situation.
His grandparents had considered taking Victoria home with them, but since their
grandson had offered to stay, they let him be.
After all, the hospital was part of their family’s holdings, so there was no concern
about him lacking care if he fell ill during the night.
