"Ruby, I know that you have always had a shadow in your heart, and I won’t ask you what really happened five years ago, so don’t say anything if you don’t want to, but I really hope that you can forget about the past and live your life well. Levi is a good man, I can see that he is interested in you, I only hope to see you happy before I die, do you know that?" Cara looked at Ruby's expression and let out a quiet sigh.
"Grandma, I ......" Ruby opened her mouth, she did not know what to say to Cara.
Whenever she dreamed of that night five years ago, she was always in a cold sweat and could not forget the psychological shadow it had cast over her.
Especially when a man was close to her, that psychological shadow became more and more severe.
To this day, she still didn't know who the man from five years ago really was, but she always remembers the pain that ripped through her at that moment.
Closing her eyes, Ruby did not want to continue this topic, "Why is Olivia not up yet? Grandma, go and see her."
Looking at Ruby's back, Cara knew there was no point in saying more, she sighed and turned around to see Olivia.
Ruby continued cooking breakfast absentmindedly.
Just after she had cracked the eggs, she heard Cara's miserable screams coming from Olivia's room: "Olivia? Olivia? What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Ruby’s heart thumped, she hurriedly turned off the fire, and did not care about the eggs in the pot, then rushed out quickly.
Levi was a little faster than Ruby. By the time Ruby reached Olivia's room, he was already there, picking up Olivia, who had fallen to the floor and was foaming at the mouth, and placing her gently on the floor.
Ruby stepped forward, grabbed Olivia's hand and took her pulse, her face becoming paler and paler.
"Ruby, what happened to Olivia? Say something, tell me, what's wrong with her?" Cara asked with red eyes, grabbing Ruby's arm and choking up as she spoke.
Ruby looked at Cara, "Grandma, hasn't she taken the medicine I gave her recently? Why did she suddenly have an attack?"
"Medicine? The medicine .....
. Right, the medicine lost a bottle before, I originally intended to tell you about it, but ended up forgetting. Olivia probably didn't want to bother you, so she held back from telling you. She won't have any accidents, right? Nothing will happen to her, right?" Cara was a bit incoherent, and her heart was in a state of anxiety.
"What's wrong with Olivia?" Levi looked at the tiny child, pale and lifeless, lying on the bed, and his heart could not help but clench.
"Olivia has a genetic disease, the doctor said, what did he say?" Cara didn't remember the long name at once and looked at Ruby.
Ruby didn't answer, just looked fixedly at Olivia's pale face for a long time before standing up, "There's no big problem for now, you all go out, I'll give her some acupuncture."
Ruby didn’t look right, but she refused to say anything, so Levi didn't pursue the matter further and left the ward with Cara.
"Olivia has a hard life, she was born in poor health, at first Ruby didn't notice it, she just thought she was born premature and weak, only later did she find out that this child was born with a disease inside her mother's womb. She said at the time when the child was conceived, it carried toxicity, the toxicity destroyed the blood making cells in her body, causing her blood making function to be missing, not quite the same as a normal child. At that time, Ruby was alone, she was still a child herself, so how would she know how to take care of Olivia?" Cara went out of the room and raised her hand to wipe her tears before she spoke to Levi in a heartbreaking manner.
