Forbidden Passion

Chapter 440 The Posture of Begging for Food

When the elevator stopped on the first floor and the doors opened, Ruby hurriedly pushed Vanessa out, her back soaked in cold sweat. Vanessa noticed Ruby's fear of Phoebe and frowned. "Phoebe's not a demon. Why are you so scared?"

Ruby had every reason to be scared. She had once schemed against Phoebe, causing her to miscarry. If Phoebe ever found out, she might push Ruby off a rooftop in revenge. "Vanessa, let's not provoke her right now. Let's just heal first," Ruby said, her voice shaking.

Ruby knew her fear of Phoebe was irrational, but she couldn't help it. Ever since Phoebe had pinned Vanessa against the windowsill that day, Ruby had been haunted by fear. One really shouldn't do things against their conscience.

Vanessa frowned deeply and watched Phoebe walk away. A dark glint flashed in her eyes. 'Phoebe and I are lifelong enemies; I can't let her be happy at my expense,' she thought. Vanessa turned back and said, "It's fine. Let's rest and recover first. We'll deal with it later."

Ruby finally sighed in relief. She was truly terrified of Phoebe and didn't want to face her anytime soon.

When Phoebe finished the discharge procedures and returned to the ward, she found Taylor already dressed and looking much better. Riley was packing up and didn't notice Phoebe's return.

"Mr. Reynolds has a big project and is on a business trip. He couldn't come back to pick you up since you suddenly decided to leave the hospital," Riley said.

Taylor, twisting her wedding ring, replied, "It's no big deal."

Riley glanced at Taylor. Brandon's affair was no secret, and the servants gossiped about it. Everyone thought Taylor wouldn't let it go easily, especially since she had stayed in the hospital longer than needed. But now, it seemed she had come to terms with it.

Phoebe walked in. "Mom, the discharge procedures are done. Let's go home."

Taylor agreed, "Okay, let's go."
