"Yes. The doctor assured me that it wasn't serious."
"Alright then. I'll pick you up tomorrow," Elliot said, then turned to Paul and continued, "I'll have to trouble you tonight then."
Paul was silent.
Gary looked at Paul after Elliot left.

"I know you're upset that he stole Ruby from you, but there's nothing you can do about it.
Who told you to be less capable than he is?" Gary said coldly. "If you can't accept it, you should devote your energy to learning from him. You can replace him if you can surpass him." "I understand, Father." "Why is Ruby feeling unwell?" Gary asked.
"She didn't tell me in detail. She just said that she wouldn't be able to come and see you for the next couple of days, but once everything's settled,
she'll explain it to you at the soonest opportunity," Paul explained. "I believe she has a plan."
"Ruby might be young, but she's a very smart woman." Gary's eyes sparkled even though he was feeling weak.
"The Goulds" future will be in good hands as long as Ruby can put the family's interests above love. What I'm afraid is that she’ll—" "She already has. She sent me a message and told me that she's fallen in love with Elliot." Gary frowned and said to Paul, "You have to talk to her from time to time and remind her!" "I will, Father!" Back in the villa, Ruby was in a rather joyful mood when she drank the soup that her nanny made.
A little life was inside her womb, and although the embryo might not have a smooth survival, there was still hope.
"I can't let anyone know that this child belongs to Avery." Ruby finished the soup and chatted with the nanny.
"The embryo is inside my body, which means they're my child." The nanny gave her an idea. "Why don't you get someone to kill Jed? That way, the truth will disappear along with him." Ruby frowned.
She had a favorable impression of Jed, but Jed was a huge obstacle indeed.
If he told Avery the truth, Avery would most certainly want to take her child back.
"Leave that to Paul, Miss Gould! You're now pregnant, so you need to take good care of your body =d$ Ruby nodded. She picked up the phone and dialed Paul’s number.

At ward VO3 of the neurosurgery inpatient department, Jed and the bodyguard retreated tacitly when Elliot came.
"Why are you here?" Avery was about to discuss the treatment plan with Jed when Elliot appeared all of a sudden.
"Gary will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. He wanted me to go home today and keep Ruby company." He sat down on the chair beside the hospital bed. "But | want to stay with you for a while and go back later." "You're going back to keep her company?" Avery said jealously, "Didn't you listen to anything | told you before?"
He froze for a moment and explained," Ruby isn't feeling well today." "I'm not feeling well either. I'm going on the operation table tomorrow, and once Gary is discharged from the hospital, you won't have the chance to come to the hospital or see me!" She felt uncomfortable both physically and mentally. "Stay with me tonight."
He compromised and said, "I'll find a time to see you after the surgery." "lI want you to stay with me tonight.” "Okay." "Why don't | keep you company in bed tonight since you're going to have surgery tomorrow?" Elliot thought about it for a moment and suggested to her.
"I'll do the same to you too." She got off the bed. "After all, I'm not technically a patient yet." "Have you taken a shower?" he asked.
"No! How about you?" Elliot shook his head and suggested, "How about we go to a hotel?" Avery blinked. "Okay!"
