Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Distorting the Truth!
The hospital’s explanation was very official.
Ruby Green’s condition was stable. She no longer needed treatment. Due to the lack of hospital beds, they asked for her understanding.
But Ruby Green could not understand it.
Sincere Hospital was a private hospital. Since when did they restrict patients’ hospitalization time?
She thought the matter was not simple.
And indeed it was not. After being rejected by several hospitals, not only did Ruby Green’s face turn unsightly, but even Lincoln Green, who rushed over upon hearing the news, also looked gloomy.
Although Ruby Green had not gotten engaged to Master Brandon, the engagement between the Green family’s daughter and the Piers family was not false.
But now, someone dared to bully the Green family?
This made Lincoln Green, who had just experienced the rise of his family’s status, very dissatisfied.
No matter how Lincoln Green pressured, no hospital would admit Ruby Green. Eventually, the primary doctor at Sincere Hospital, who had been in charge of Ruby Green, revealed that they had offended someone.
The Green family, now connected with the Piers family, could not necessarily walk horizontally in Gills City. But no other prominent family dared to bully them when they were at their peak.
After thinking it over, there was only one possibility—Abigail Green!
Ruby Green clenched her fists, her eyes reddening, “Mom, it must be Abigail. Besides Abigail, I can’t think of anyone else I have offended, or who has the power to make all the hospitals in Gills City refuse to admit me.”
“This… Honey, it can’t be. Abigail is a good child. Ruby has already given everything to her. How could she treat Ruby ? The doctor said that if Ruby’s leg isn’t treated properly, it could leave lasting effects. We can’t just watch Ruby . How about I go and beg Abigail?”
Rose Taylor first praised Abigail as a good child, then said it couldn’t be her doing, but in the end, she wanted to go beg Abigail. Her contradiction and hypocrisy were blatant. But Rose Taylor performed it with genuine emotion, mixed with real concern for Ruby Green, making her seem like a truly worried mother.
Ruby Green’s eyes reddened as she clutched Rose Taylor’s hand tightly. “Mom, I won’t allow you to go. Today, when I went to beg her to forgive me for my past mistakes, she directly poured two cups of coffee over my head. If the coffee hadn’t been that hot, I might have been disfigured… Mom, I won’t allow you to go. So what if I become a cripple? I’m not afraid…”
As she spoke, large tears rolled down Ruby Green’s cheeks. But it wasn’t from feeling sorry for her mother, fearing Rose Taylor would be humiliated. It was out of hatred and worry for her left leg.
She really feared becoming disabled.
If that happened, she would rather not live at all!
“This is absurd!” Lincoln Green had been hesitant, but now, hearing that Ruby went to apologize to Abigail and instead got coffee poured on her head, he found it outrageous and brazen, without any upbringing!
“Dad, don’t blame my sister. It was my fault for being soft-hearted before. I agreed to keep her pregnancy a secret and even promised to be the baby’s mother, fearing her reputation would be ruined. But I didn’t expect Abigail to turn against me once she found out the baby’s father was Master Brandon…” By this point, Ruby was sobbing uncontrollably.
All this time, although Lincoln Green did not say much on the surface, he was very dissatisfied with Ruby Green for hiding the child. Now, seeing her cry and explain with grievance, he realized he had misunderstood his stepdaughter. She had done all this for Abigail.
And that heartless person didn’t even know who the baby’s father was initially. To protect her own reputation, she sacrificed her sister. Now, knowing the father’s identity, she placed Ruby in a difficult situation and even got switched on the engagement day.
Lincoln Green slammed his hand angrily on the table. “This is… so despicable. How could I have raised such rubbish?”
