Chapter 88
Chapter 88:
“I’m fine,” Ruby reassured her, still holding Eileen’s hand. “I’m just not used to the new ward and haven’t been sleeping well. Please don’t bother Dr. White too much; he’s very busy.”
It was at that moment that Eileen understood Ruby’s difficulty adjusting to her new sleeping environment. “In that case, speak to Dr. White about prescribing something to help you relax. He emphasized how crucial it is for you to get sufficient rest for your health,” Eileen said.
“Okay,” Ruby agreed with a gentle smile. “Go get some fruit. We can sit and chat.”
There was an assortment of fruit on the bedside table. Eileen chose Ruby’s favorite and went to wash them.
Ruby breathed a sigh of relief as she stood by the window, eagerly waiting for Bailee’s arrival to alleviate her anxiety.
She had been on edge, nearly revealing something to Eileen in her nervous state.
Looking out the ward window, Ruby spotted the hospital gate. A shiny car pulled up, catching her eye.
Bailee stepped out of the car, joined by Huey. They engaged in lively conversation as they retrieved two boxes of nutritional supplements from the trunk.
Bailee carried the boxes into the hospital while Huey drove away after saying goodbye.
After washing the fruit, Eileen entered the room and noticed Ruby standing by the window, deep in thought.
“Mom,” she called out.

“Oh, you’re back!” Ruby snapped out of her thoughts, returning to the bed to chat with Eileen, smiling. “How have things been between you and Huey lately?” Ruby asked.
Before entering the ward, Eileen had anticipated Ruby’s inquiry about her relationship with Huey and had already crafted her response. “He’s rather young for me. I don’t believe it’s suitable for us to be involved romantically.”
Ruby’s expression darkened. “Why would you say that? Didn’t he get injured to save you? Weren’t you two on good terms before? Tell me the truth. Is it because…?”
Her voice trailed off, and the ward fell silent.
Confused, Eileen asked, “Because of what?”
“Nothing,” Ruby replied. “I’m just worried about you. Let’s have some fruit?”
Despite Eileen refraining from further probing, she couldn’t overlook Ruby’s palpable concern.
Compelled to reassure Ruby, Eileen said, “Don’t worry, I’m giving it my all. If there’s even a slight chance, I’ll pursue it. But we shouldn’t rush. If being with him isn’t the right path for me, I can’t force it.”
Ruby smiled and stayed silent. Shortly after, Bailee entered the room.
“Ma’am, Eileen, sorry for being late,” Bailee apologized as she placed the nutritional supplements on the bedside table.
Ruby looked at her and asked, “Did you buy the supplements?”
“A friend asked me to bring these as a kind gesture,” Bailee replied.
Ruby maintained a neutral expression as she advised, “It’s best not to accept gifts from others without a valid reason. Remember to conduct yourself appropriately.”
Ruby’s words didn’t seem out of place, as she had often shared such lessons with Eileen and Bailee.
