Victor had growled that Jack was there because Victor had tolerated him for John and Ashley's sakes, but it had been a mistake for Jack to take Victor on. Victor had ordered Jack to take his things and get out, since Victor had never wanted to see him again. Victor had turned to leave, but he'd suddenly collapsed on the floor. As Victor had gasped for breath and weakly pleaded for help, Jack had slowly stood and walked out.
