Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1357

Victor.

But in his mind, he was seeing his parents’ faces just now.

He also remembered the sound of violent smashing.

Odin watched his grandmother and Victor as they left in the car.

He didn’t see his grandmother in the days that followed.

Meanwhile, his mother would remind him to study hard.

Odin had to learn many things since that night.

No matter how hard he cried, Maria wouldn’t let him rest.

And so, he passed out.

His parents had a bitter quarrel about his brother.

Even if he was dazed, he heard them mention Victor’s name.

He came to realize that it was this person who had caused every anguish that he had been through-his mother’s quirkiness, his parents

‘ and his to come back.

rows, grandmother’s unwillingness

“Victor!” Odin said the name over and over again.

“Aren’t you happy for me that I’m still alive?” Odin asked and smiled wryly.

Upon hearing what Odin said, Victor stared coldly at him.

Odin remained unbothered as he pulled out a chair and sat by the bedside, revealing a smug grin.

“Oh, you should be disappointed to see that I’m still alive.”

“You were the one behind the Baltimore project,” Victor said in a calm voice.

Odin leaned back slightly and admitted it.

“Well, that’s correct, but you should know it’s not entirely my fault.

You are also to blame here.

Clearly, you’re not a good judge of character.

You see, the person in charge of purchasing was too greedy and disloyal.

I gave him a little benefit.

He agreed without hesitation and tampered with the purchase list.”

Victor remained composed and said in a low voice, “Do you know his daughter is dead?”

Odin thought Victor couldn’t see a person’s true colors.

How could this heartless man refer to it as just a little benefit? Perhaps it was true in Odin’s eyes, but for the head of the purchasing department, that little benefit was enough to save the very foundation of his family.

As soon as the accident happened, Carson sent someone to visit the director of the purchasing department.

The moment Carson’s people entered the room, the director immediately knelt and lowered his head.

His daughter was lying in bed, with tubes all over her body.

She was only seven or eight years old, but she already looked worn out like a dead tree.

The girl had a deadly case of leukemia.

The little benefit that Odin mentioned was that he offered to get in touch with the most highly-sought expert in the world for his daughter, who had successfully cured a patient with the same disease as the little girl.

The director was left with two choices.

Loyalty or his daughter’s life?

He had been restless and troubled for the whole night.

Through the window of the ICU, he saw his daughter lying in bed and struggling with each breath.

Turning his head to the side, he saw his depressed wife, who had aged significantly in just a few months.

She looked gaunt and cried each day.

As the head of the family, he had his back up against the wall.

Time was running out, and he had to act soon.

The director knew he was in the wrong and that there was no possible escape, so he didn’t flee for his life.

Instead, he waited at home for Victor’s men to come to him.

Desperate and deeply exhausted, the man cried and confessed.

At last, he only hoped that Victor would let his wife and daughter go.

Carson didn’t judge when he reported back to Victor.

He did his duty and chose not to make things much more difficult for the man’s family.

But in the end, the so-called authoritative expert was nowhere to be found.

The director’s wife helplessly watched their daughter die.

She couldn’t bear the painful ordeal and fainted soon after.
