Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 368

In the ward, Brian saw that Valentin was tired from a long day and kindly suggested. "Valentin, you should rest for a bit."

But Valentin was focused entirely on Ashley, his heart tense with worry. He couldn't think about resting.

"It's okay, I'm not tired," Valentin replied.

Brian thought about persuading him further but then realized that Valentin, so worried about Ashley, wouldn't want to rest.

He felt the same way. He couldn't bear to leave the ward and be away from his daughter.

So, Brian stopped insisting. He turned to pour a glass of water for Karen and soothingly put his arm around her shoulders.

Lester looked especially down today. Gazing at Ashley lying in a coma on the hospital bed, looking lifeless, his handsome face was filled with despair and guilt. 'Did the Pliskin family bring this trouble to Ashley?

'If it weren't for the Pliskin family, would Tyler have taken revenge on her?

'Even though she's usually so strong, standing up for others, turning tides in difficult times, at the end of the day, she's still just a young girl. She shouldn't have to suffer like this...'

George, who had just checked Ashley's temperature and was relieved to find it hadn't risen, noticed Lester's gloomy look.

His usually cold face softened slightly as he understood his brother's feelings.

George patted Lester on the shoulder and led him out of the ward.

George, known for his stern expression, rarely showed his emotions. Compared to him, Lester, usually smiling, now looked gloomy and repressed.

George was silent for a few seconds, his gaze distant as if he was reminiscing. His expression turned unusually tender.

"I still remember when Ashley was just a baby. She was so tiny that a small toy could make her giggle. She would look up with her big eyes and reach out her little hands for a hug. I've never seen such a cute child. I thought then that my little sister was the cutest baby in the world..."

George recalled, picturing Ashley as a delicate and cute doll.

Lester was stunned, not expecting George to talk about Ashley's childhood and say so much suddenly.

Lester didn't remember much about Ashley's childhood, unlike George.

"Unfortunately..." George's expression suddenly turned cold. "Ashley was only with us for a few months before Tyler secretly took her away, forcing her to leave us when she was so little..."
