Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO

Chapter 31: Let’s Fix It

Ruby suggested they visit the family of the injured worker after a few moments of silence in the car. The ride had been heavy with thoughts of the chaos at the site. The anger, the pain, and the injustice felt all too close, and Ruby knew that seeing the family of the worker would put everything into sharper focus. fr\(e)ew(e)b.(n)o (v)(e)l.com

"We should visit his family," she said quietly, breaking the tension in the car.

Stefan glanced toward her, his hand resting on the armrest, his face still calm despite the earlier upheaval. "You think it’ll help?"

Ruby nodded. "I think it’s the least we can do. We need to show them that we care about what happened—that it’s not just business for us. We have to assure them that you’re here to help."

Stefan didn’t answer right away, but the look on his face told Ruby that he was considering it. "You’re right. Let’s go."

When they arrived at the modest home, Ruby could sense the heaviness in the air. The wife of the injured worker, a woman in her early thirties, stood at the door, her eyes swollen from crying. She looked lost, unsure of who had come to her door, but when she saw Stefan, her expression shifted.

Stefan stepped forward, offering a quiet apology. "I’m sorry for what happened," he said, his voice sincere. "I should have been here sooner. I’ll take responsibility of Mr Phil from now hence forth and make sure he receives the adequate medical attention he needs. I’m really sorry I haven’t been able to help all these while."

The woman didn’t speak at first. She simply stared at him, her face a mixture of grief and disbelief. Finally, she spoke, her voice thick with emotion. "It’s not just about saying sorry, Mr Winters," she said, her voice trembling. "It’s about doing something before more lives are lost. My husband may survive this, but what about the others? What about the next one? Someone’s going to die if you don’t do something soon."
