I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 37

The doctor walked out of the emergency room and asked, "Are you Miss James's family?"

 

Ruby hesitated for a moment and answered, "I'm her colleague, is she okay?"

 

The doctor didn't have a good look on his face, "Please inform her family"

 

Ruby's face instantly turned as pale as a sheet, "Doctor, is she in serious condition?” She had butterflies in her stomach, if 

Grace were to die, she would be labelled a murderer.

 

No, she didn't kill Grace, Grace killed herself. She had nothing to do with it, she brought Grace to the hospital and saved her 

life.

 

If people were to find out that she was involved with this accident, she would be expelled from the university.

 

She worked hard for so many years just to get into S University, she couldn't let her effort be in vain!

 

Ruby's thoughts were now a mess, thousands of thoughts ran wildly through her head. If Grace didn't survive and people found out that she had something to do with the accident, she would face consequences. She also thought of Franklin, how would Franklin think about her?

 

"Doctor, Grace... my colleague, is she really in serious condition?”

 

The doctor frowned and looked at Ruby weirdly, "Who told you that she is in serious condition?”

 

"But, but you told me to inform her family members, ” normally one would inform the patient's family if the patient was in grave 

condition.

 

"Your colleague had a huge wound on her forehead, she lost quite some blood as she was rushed to the hospital a bit late, though there's no issue with her wound. The main problem is that she is running a high fever, judging by the situation her fever had been running for at least one night.  She has to stay for one day or two for observation, and she needs to be taken care of by somebody"

 

Ruby listened nervously to the doctor, her heart finally stopped thumping, she immediately said, "Me, I'll take care of her. Well, 

she doesn't have a family, Iam her roommate and her colleague, I'll take care of her”

 

Ruby found out that Grace didn't have a family when they were having a late-night conversation one time. Grace casually brought it up and casually dismissed it but Ruby remembered it well.

 

The doctor glanced at Ruby, his expression softened,’ You are a kind lady, there's no problem if you offer to take care of the patient, go to the counter to finish up the admission procedure and it's all good”

 

“Alright, I'll go deal with it now.

 

Ruby took her stuff along and went through the admission procedure. The hospitalization fees were high, it pained Ruby when 

she made the payment, she looked at her account balance and felt anguished and distressed. She told herself to stay composed.

 

The money was her earnings for the month, they all went down the drain now.

 

She mumbled to herself as she walked to the ward, Grace was still unconscious. She then left the hospital and went to the Royal Club.

 

"What happened to Grace you say?” Ruby found manager Xu and asked for a leave of absence on behalf of Grace. She only mentioned that Grace was not feeling well, that she fainted and fell onto the floor, and hence she needed some time off.
