Rejected, And Became A Heiress

My Billionaire Please Became 42

Chapter 0042

Richard's POV

I've been sitting at Cara's bedside for hours, trading watch with Ruby. She takes a shift watching Cara while I take care of my actual patients at the hospital, then we switch, and she sees patients while I watch Cara. It leaves little time for much else, like sleeping

I try to reassure her, crossing my fingers that she'll calm down.
