NovelUpdateChapter 455 Victoria held Emily's hand, feeling the faint warmth beneath her fingers.
It was only in moments like this that Emily seemed truly alive to her. Most of the time, seeing her lying there so still, Victoria could barely suppress her panic. Thank God, at least she'd found Stein again. She hadn't lost all her family. Victoria sat by Emily's bedside, talking to her as if they were having a casual chat.

He promised he'll do everything he can to help you get better." She spoke to her aunt just as she used to, pouring out all the things she'd been holding in. These past months, the pregnancy had left her exhausted. She hadn't had the strength to go out, and it had been four or five months since she'd last visited.
"Aunt Edith, you probably haven't heard-Simms isn't my real father. I guess that's why he never liked me. Stein's my brother, and he's been so good to me. It's just a shour father-well, mine and Stein's-passed away. I wonder if he's found Mom, wherever they are. Even though Mom never got to be with the man she loved, she still chose to haveand gavelife." Victoria's voice trembled with sorrow, missing the way Emily's eyelids fluttered ever so slightly.
"Aunt Edith, I got divorced from McNeil. There was never a place forin his heart. Still, I had twins with him-a boy and a girl, both beautiful. My daughter looks just like me. When you're feeling better, I'll bring them to see you." Victoria squeezed her aunt's hand, her words tumbling out in a rush. "Aunt Edith, I've started making moves to take back Golden Era Enterprises. Yulia and Simms have been hiding a daughter all these years-I only found out this past year. It's too bad Mom and Grandpa are both gone; if they were here, I'd show them I can bring the Turner family back where it belongs.
Simms is cunning. He could never accept being just a son-in-law in the Turner family. He's always been scheming, chasing after our family's fortune. Mom and Grandpa must have known, even if they realized too late." She kept talking to Emily, then suddenly felt her aunt's hand twitch. Victoria's heart skipped a beat. As she looked closer, Emily's eyes slowly opened.
For a moment, Emily stared at her, eyes bright with emotion. She tried to speak, and Victoria leapt to her feet, intent on finding a nurse, but Emily clung tightly to her hand, refusing to let her go.
"Aunt Edith, you're awake! How do you feel? I'll call the doctor right now—" Victoria had waited so many years for this. Her heart was pounding, nearly bursting with joy.

"Aunt Edith, do you want to tellsomething?" Only then did Victoria remember the call button by the bed. She pressed it several times in quick succession. On the other end, a nurse's voice answered.
"My aunt just woke up-could you send the doctor, please?" The response was immediate: "Of course. Please wait a moment." Tears blurred Victoria's vision as she turned back to Emily.
"Aunt Edith, you're finally awake. Don't try to talk-the doctor will be here any second."
Emily's voice was hoarse and ragged, but she managed to speak. "Vicky, listen to me." She must have been unconscious for so long that her words cout
