Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 81

Chapter 81:

Ruby was struck by a sudden troubling thought, causing her pupils to dilate.

She sat on the bed, absorbed in her thoughts for a while before she collected herself.

“Bailee, does Huey know about your sister?” Ruby inquired.

Bailee shook her head and replied, “He doesn’t know that. But…”

Ruby interjected, “That’s good. Eileen is a good girl and deserves Huey’s affection. Any misunderstanding could be disastrous.”

Ruby continued speaking, not waiting to hear if Bailee had more to say, and started packing hastily. “We need to hurry, or we’ll be late!”

As she muttered to herself, Bailee found herself drawn to Ruby’s sense of urgency, unable to stop glancing Ruby’s way.

She somehow felt an unsettling feeling that something was wrong.

Emilio helped them, and Eileen quickly completed the necessary paperwork and returned to the ward to help with packing.

They made their way downstairs, burdened with numerous belongings due to Ruby’s extended stay in the hospital.

Huey’s car was filled to capacity, and they transferred everything into the VIP ward.

By the time they had finished, it had grown dark outside.

Eileen turned on the lights, instantly illuminating the room, while Bailee and Huey diligently unpacked the items.

Ruby stood by the window outside the VIP ward, deep in contemplation. Eileen walked up to her slowly.

“Mom, what are you doing out here? It’s cold at night. You should go back to your room,” Eileen suggested, feeling Ruby’s chilly hand as she took it.

Ruby faced her, managing a strained smile, and replied, “I’m not cold. This place is peaceful and quiet. It will be nice for us to sleep here together in the future.”

“I think so too. To make sure we can sleep comfortably here, you should stay in this ward from now on. That way, I can come to visit you more often,” Eileen responded with a gentle smile, wondering if Ruby would accept her rationale for the ward change.

The spacious ward was bathed in the soft light from a white chandelier above.

Next to the patient’s bed was another bed intended for family members. The room also had its own bathroom, sofa, and coffee table, creating a homelike atmosphere.

Ruby settled onto the bed and noticed that Bailee and Huey had completed the unpacking. She turned to Huey and said, “Huey, you and Eileen aren’t married yet, but you came to help us with all this. Thank you so much.”
