Victoria quickly went to close the door.
Instead of leaving, she turned around, half bending over, looking at Hank Clegg with concern, "What's wrong with you? Would you like to...rest on the sofa for a bit?"
She wanted to support him, but remembering Mason Ross's warning, she dared not make any significant moves.
Hank Clegg was supported by both hands on his head, staring at the desk top and shaking his head.
"Leave." His words were brief, but the strain was evident.
Seeing the veins on the back of his hand bulge and stand out so starkly, Victoria herself felt alarmed.
She couldn't help reaching out to stroke the back of his hand, hoping to calm his nearly boiling blood vessels.
However, just as her hand touched the back of Hank Clegg's hand, his whole body immediately trembled violently and somewhat neurotically.
Victoria jumped in surprise and tried to withdraw her hand, but Hank Clegg swiftly grabbed her hand like a predator capturing prey.
