After Blaine exited the ward, Old K glanced at the woman in the hospital bed and secretly gave her a thumbs up.
‘This girl is courageous, huh!’ Old K exclaimed internally.
While Blaine and Old K were outside the ward, Old K asked Blaine hesitantly, “Master Blaine… Do you really…want to bring her back home?”
Blaine glanced at him coldly. “Didn’t you wish that I would bring her home?”
Old K was at loss for words. ‘I’m innocent!’
…
A week later, it was time for Ruby to be discharged from the hospital.
Old K dealt with the hospital discharge procedures and subsequently went into the ward to pick her up. However, as he was packing her belongings, he noticed she kept glancing at the door multiple times.
Old K chided her, “Forget it. Master Blaine is not coming today. He has an important meeting to attend to so he’s not free to pick you up.”
“Okay,” Ruby replied indifferently as she raised her brows. “I’m just afraid that Master Blaine will go back on his words and regret the things he has promised me.”
“Little girl, you don’t understand our Master Blaine that well. He’ll definitely fulfill all the promises he makes as long as you haven’t lied to him. However, if you did pretend to lose your memory…and are caught by him, you’ll be thrown into the Glacier River to feed the fishes.”
Ruby smirked internally. ‘Hah, no one knows who’ll actually become fish food!’
Regardless of that… her plan was rather too smooth sailing right now.
With the sacrifice of many people, Blaine had been climbing to the top position at such a young age. He would not be in such a superior position without an astute mindset. Although Ruby could not clearly pinpoint out what had gone wrong, she genuinely felt that Blaine would believe in her easily.
Old K donned a kind face and said, “Let’s go. Master Blaine is waiting for you at home.”
