Love in Blind (Caden and Grace) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Wanted Respect

Ruby carefully raised her head and looked at Sheila, she didn't answer Sheila and instead asked her, "Sheila, do you like Mr. Cordon?"

Sheila immediately waved her hands, "Not me, I'm talking about the others. There are so many that are in love with Mr. Cordon."

The sternness in Ruby's faded away, she advised Sheila, "It's good that you didn't fall in love with Mr. Cordon, you see, with his status, he must be picky about his partner, the person who can be Mr. Cordon's girlfriend must be an outstanding person."

"Mr. Cordon is just playing around at the Royal Club, all the coquettish and flirtatious women wouldn't catch his eyes. Sheila, I'm not putting us down, but Mr. Cordon must have high-expectations, don't you go crazy along with the lascivious people, or you'll be the one hurting in the end."

After she finished her lecture, she looked at Sheila, Sheila's hung her head low and she was not saying anything. Ruby pursed her lips and held Sheila's hand, "Sheila, I'm saying this for your own good. You see, I don't just tell anyone this, we are friends and I don't want to see you get hurt."

Sheila looked a bit awkward, "I know Ruby, I'm going back to work." Even though Ruby probably said that for Sheila's own good, Sheila's pride was still hurt.

Ruby didn't think much and left for the hospital.

She went into the ward and Grace was still unconscious, she puckered her lips, "Such a pain."

She talked to the doctor and the doctor mentioned that the wound on Grace's forehead looked bad, but it was actually not that bad, she only lost some blood because she was rushed to the hospital late. The real problem was Grace's fragile body, she wasn't very healthy.

It was the next day in the afternoon when Grace regained consciousness, her fever went down but her body temperature was still higher than normal.

She opened her eyes, her throat was parched, she said hoarsely, "Thirsty..."

The sound woke Ruby up, she rubbed her nose bridge and glanced at Grace, "Wait," said Ruby coldly. She then poured her a cup of water.

Grace took the water from Ruby, she didn't say anything and finished the water quietly.

She didn't say anything even after she finished the water.

It was quiet in the ward, Grace closed her eyes, waiting for the other party to say something.

Suddenly.

"You hit your forehead on the door handle, it is going to leave a scar. But you seem to have quite a few scars on your forehead already, it shouldn't be a big deal adding another to the count. Don't tell anybody about this, I've applied for some days off for you at the Royal Club, you should go back to work once your fever goes down. I paid for all the hospital costs, while you're warded, I will bring you three meals on time."

Grace was still not saying anything.

Ruby was getting angry, she thought that Grace was testing her patience, "Do you hear me? This whole incident was not just my fault, you are to blame as well. Nobody spends the night outside of the apartment after getting soaked in the rain, that's why you got such a high fever, otherwise, you wouldn't have stumbled from a slight touch from me."

Grace continued to stay silent.

Ruby couldn't help but raise her voice, "What do you want from me? I rushed you to the hospital, and if it wasn't for me, you'll be long dead from the high fever. I also paid your hospital costs!"

"I'm just a university student, I'm working part-time during the summer break just to earn some extra income for my studies and my daily expenses. I don't have much money but I still paid the hospital fee for you. Yet you're still not letting this go, Grace, just name your price, how much do you want from me?"

Grace hung her head low and was still all clammed up.

Ruby was furious, "What do you want, just say it!"
