Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO
Chapter 183
Chapter 183 - 183: I Forgive You
Ruby's eyes fluttered open to a dim, stale-smelling room. The air was heavy, almost suffocating. She blinked several times before her vision cleared, the cracked ceiling above her swimming into focus. She was lying on a thin, creaky bed.
Her brow furrowed in confusion. Why… why was I asleep?
Just as the question came to mind, everything came rushing back—the sudden blackout. The chaotic shuffle of bodies. Someone bumping into them. That sharp prick in her arm. Her own startled scream. And then… nothing but darkness.
Her stomach twisted, hoping it wasn't what she was thinking it was. How long had she passed out and why was Stefan still not here? Wasn't she still at the hospital?
Her gaze darted around. The walls were stained, the floor coated in dust. Abandoned. Forgotten. Where am I? Was this an abandoned ward or.....
"Well, well, well…"
Ruby's heart jumped at the voice and all her thoughts ceased. She turned her head sharply to confirm what she knew.
Ivy stood a few feet away, arms folded, smirking like a cat that had cornered a mouse.

Ruby's mouth went dry, but her voice came out steady. "So… it was you. You have the guts to kidnap me. After killing our mother. Aren't you tired——"
The crack of Ivy's palm against her cheek was so sudden Ruby's head whipped sideways, her skin stinging.
"Don't you dare mention our mother," Ivy snapped, her tone sharp as glass.
Ruby let out a bitter laugh. "Why not? Don't you want to hear the truth? You killed her. And now you want to kill me, too. Don't you? Why? Why do you want to ruin our family?"
"You're the one who have ruined our family! Besides, I didn't plan to kill mom!" Ivy's voice rose, her eyes flashing. "But... she wouldn't stop protecting you. And that—" she jabbed a finger toward Ruby "—cost her her life. So yes, I want to kill you. Send you to go keep her and our dear father company."
