Chapter 63

(+23)

When Joycelyn arrived, she already knew a bit about the situation. The entire 19th floor was occupied by Isolde alone, with the most prestigious medical team at her service.

Joycelyn, dressed in casual clothes and being a woman, knew Ruby, with her obsessive personality, would probably be hostile towards her.

Before Joycelyn could speak, Ruby sharply demanded, “Have I seen you somewhere before? Take off your mask.”

Despite wearing a mask, Joycelyn’s clothing and appearance didn’t seem like someone who would be here at such a high- end private hospital.

But Ruby was keen on scrutinizing her face, particularly Joycelyn’s fair skin and naturally refined features.

When Joycelyn didn’t respond, Ruby gave her bodyguard a look.

The bodyguard immediately stepped toward Joycelyn.

Joycelyn’s heart pounded nervously.

“Oh, I pressed the wrong button! I’m here for a flu shot, not for a doctor on this floor. If I take off my mask, I could spread germs, you know,” Joycelyn said in a tentative voice, pretending to be shy.

Ruby immediately backed away. “If you’re sick, why don’t you stay away from people?” Ruby frowned, disgusted. Joycelyn responded innocently, “Well, this is a hospital. Who comes to a hospital without being sick, right?”

After saying that, Joycelyn pushed the button for the 9th floor.

Ruby avoided her, her sharp eyes still coldly locked on Joycelyn.

The elevator arrived at its floor, and Joycelyn quickly stepped out.

Thank goodness she hadn’t shown her face to Ruby, or things would’ve been a disaster.

She walked away from the elevator, made sure no one was following her, and then took another elevator down.
