Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 763

Ruby said while staring at Blaine's gentle gaze, "Initially, I thought I didn't really care much about you. However with a much deeper thought, there are only very few people in this world who I have ties with. I grew up as an orphan and had no family so Wilson and Thompson were the only people I considered as family."

"However, Wilson married Serene. After that, Serene technically became part of my family. Their child is also very adorable and he has made me his aunt. Therefore, their child is also considered as part of my family."

"However, with all of them in mind, I only have four people whom I consider family. The funny thing is, aside from Serene's child, Wilson, Thompson and even Serene, all of them have someone they'd do anything to protect. Me, on the other hand, no one will go this far to protect me."

"Because I have so few people whom I hold dear to my heart, I don't want to lose anyone at all."

Ruby said a lot of things to Blaine on the other side of the window pane in the quarantine zone. This was the first time Ruby had ever spoken this much to Blaine.

Blaine was tearing up.

He understood her. He understood her completely.

She must have felt very afraid to have spoken this much to him.

Ruby was also tearing up so she turned around while clutching onto her phone to avoid looking at Blaine. However, the instant she turned around, tears were already pouring out of her eyes.

She told Blaine through the phone, "Can you call out to me just once, Blaine?"

Blaine pouted his lips while his eyes were filled with compassion as he said, "Softie."

"You have to live because you promised a decade ago that you will protect me."

Although Blaine could not see her face when he was staring at her back, her subtly sobbing voice betrayed her.

He knew she was crying.

Blaine pressed one of his palms on the thick glass door to touch her.

He really wanted to hug her.

"Don't cry, Softie. I'm really fine."

Ruby took a deep breath, reached out to wipe her tears before turning around to face Blaine.

She placed her palm against Blaine's while holding onto her phone with her other hand.

"I'll be waiting for you, Blaine."

Blaine finally cracked a smile with his teary eyes.

He would keep on living based on the statement she made.

…

The SA super virus finally broke out in the base two days after Blaine's infection.

The infirmary sounded the alarm.

Blaine's face grew increasingly pale and weaker.

Nines was researching a vaccine for the SA supervirus.

Blaine was the person who picked up the call when Ruby called the infirmary again.

"How are you doing today, Blaine?"

Due to Blaine still being sick, his voice sounded a lot weaker and hoarser than usual, "I'm fine."

Ruby was staring at Blaine through the window pane on the other side of the quarantine zone. He was sitting on the bed even though he said he was fine.

However, since he was sitting in a blindspot, she thought he was unable to see her.

However, she did not know that Blaine was staring at a nearby mirror while her slender figure was reflected onto it. Her movements and expressions were all reflected in his eyes.

As Ruby stared at the weakened man that was dressed in a patient's uniform, she was unsure why she was somehow starting to tear up.

She knew the SA supervirus was no joke.

Although she was not well-versed in medicine, she spent plenty of time with Wilson and Thompson back then and had heard about how scary this virus actually was.

However, she was not weak. Even though this hurdle was difficult for her to go through, she kept her smile up even though she was tearing up. She asked, "Are you still able to hold on?"

Blaine stared at the smiling woman who was also tearing up through the reflection on the mirror. He smiled and said, "Of course."

She remained silent for a really long time.

Blaine watched her covering her mouth while holding onto her phone. Tears were pouring out of her eyes.
