Forbidden Passion

Chapter 811 Hopes Shattered

Ruby didn't know how to respond, but luckily Phoebe's attention was on Evelyn and didn't notice her unease. She stammered, "Well, that's not bad either."

Phoebe glanced at her but was quickly distracted by Evelyn's wailing. She felt a pang of worry, "What should we do if she keeps crying like this? The doctor said she has a concussion and can't get too emotional."

Ruby was also worried, "What should we do? Should we try to comfort her again?"

Phoebe shook her head, thinking that if they tried to comfort her again, Evelyn might cry even harder tonight. "Forget it, let her vent her emotions. Maybe she's crying tears of joy."

Before she finished speaking, a pillow hit Phoebe on the head. She quickly grabbed the fallen pillow and looked at Evelyn.

Evelyn's eyes were red from crying, and she glared at Phoebe fiercely, "Are you gloating?"

Phoebe looked innocent, "How could I be? Are you hungry from crying? How about eating something first? Ruby's cooking was delicious today; I ate a lot earlier."

Evelyn was very angry, "I'm feeling so awful, and you can still eat?"

Phoebe replied, "I get hungry if I skip a meal."

Evelyn couldn't argue with that. She sulked for a while, but her stomach kept growling, so she had to get out of bed.

Ruby quickly went over to serve her some food and took the dishes out of the thermal container. "Evelyn, see if the food is cold. If it is, I'll heat it up in the microwave."

Evelyn calmed down a bit and felt a little embarrassed seeing Ruby busying herself. She said, "Ruby, take a break."

"I'm not tired," Ruby said, looking at Evelyn. "Evelyn, this is a good thing. No matter what, being alive is a good thing, right?"

Evelyn paused for a second while chewing, then continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that Evelyn seemed to have listened, Ruby sighed in relief and said, "Evelyn, I don't want to make you sad, but if Donovan came back to life, I would be overjoyed."
