Chapter 1379


    "Will you be recuperating at home?"


    "Yes. The doctor assured me that it wasn''t serious."


    "Alright then. I''ll pick you up tomorrow," Elliot said, then turned to Paul and continued, "I''ll have to


    trouble you tonight then."


    Paul was silent.


    Gary looked at Paul after Elliot left.


    "I know you''re upset that he stole Ruby from you, but there’s nothing you can do about it. Who told you


    to be less capable than he is?" Gary said coldly. "If you can''t ept it, you should devote your energy


    to learning from him. You can rece him if you can surpass him."


    "I understand, Father." "Why is Ruby feeling unwell?" Gary asked.


    "She didn''t tell me in detail. She just said that she wouldn''t be able toe and see you for the next


    couple of days, but once everything''s settled, she''ll exin it to you at the soonest opportunity," Paul


    exined. "I believe she has a n."


    "Ruby might be young, but she''s a very smart woman." Gary’s eyes sparkled even though he was


    feeling weak. "The Goulds'' future will be in good hands as long as


    Ruby can put the family''s interests above love. What I''m afraid is that she’ll—"


    "She already has. She sent me a message and told me that she''s fallen in love with Elliot."

    Gary frowned and said to Paul, "You have to talk to her from time to time and remind her!" "I will,


    Father!"


    Back in the vi, Ruby was in a rather joyful mood when she drank the soup that her nanny made.


    A little life was inside her womb, and although the embryo might not have a smooth survival, there was


    still hope.


    "I can''t let anyone know that this child belongs to Avery." Ruby finished the soup and chatted with the


    nanny. "The embryo is inside my body, which means they''re my child."


    The nanny gave her an idea. "Why don''t you get someone to kill Jed? That way, the truth will disappear


    along with him."


    Ruby frowned.


    She had a favorable impression of Jed, but


    Jed was a huge obstacle indeed.


    If he told Avery the truth, Avery would most certainly want to take her child back.


    "Leave that to Paul, Miss Gould! You’re now pregnant, so you need to take good care of your body =d$


    Ruby nodded. She picked up the phone and dialed Paul’s number.


    At ward V03 of the neurosurgery inpatient department, Jed and the bodyguard retreated tacitly when


    Elliot came.


    "Why are you here?" Avery was about to discuss the treatment n with Jed when Elliot appeared all


    of a sudden.


    "Gary will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. He wanted me to go home today and keep Ruby


    and go backter." "You''re going back to keep herpany?" Avery said jealously, "Didn''t you listen to


    anything I told you before?"


    He froze for a moment and exined," Ruby isn''t feeling well today."


    Hepromised and said, "I''ll find a time to see you after the surgery."


    "I want you to stay with me tonight.’’


    "Okay."


    "Have you taken a shower?" he asked.


    "No! How about you?"


    Elliot shook his head and suggested, "How about we go to a hotel?" Avery blinked. "Okay!"
