Love in Blind (Caden and Grace)

Chapter 37 Hid The Truth

Chapter 37 Hid the Truth

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, I am 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.

Manager Xu was busy, Grace was just a mere janitor, she was unqualified but for some reason, Gloria

hired her and let her work in the public relations department.

Manager Xu didn't even remember who Grace was, she only vaguely knew her because of the incident

that made her lose two of her rather capable subordinates.

Queena was a quick learner and Luna was an old-timer at the Royal Club, but for some reason, Gloria

fired those two instead of the useless Grace

"Whatever, tell her to rest well and that she doesn't have to worry about the club. She should rest for as

long as she wants," manager Xu dismissed Ruby and continued with her work, she eventually forgot

about this matter.

Gloria was strolling around the club and was frowning, she was curious why was Grace nowhere to be

seen today.

"Oh, wait," she saw manager Xu coincidentally as the manager was about to go in the elevator, "Have

you seen Grace?" she asked.

The manager turned around to find out who was calling her, she realized that it was Gloria and she

paused for a brief moment, she then said, "Grace applied for a leave of absence today, something

about she was exhausted and she wanted to rest, " manager Xu hesitated, and then she trod carefully.

"Gloria, ever since Grace joined us at the public relations department, she was nothing but trouble. In

my opinion, she is not suitable for our department, Gloria. What do you think... about changing her to

another department?"

Manager Xu really didn't like Grace, she was dull and apathetic, she was always dressed in old-

fashioned clothes, always covering up herself, she was always frowning and constantly looked bitter,

she was not good looking and didn't have a good figure. Would the clients even like her? Keeping her

around just spelt trouble and she would definitely bring down the department's business performance.

Ever since Grace joined their department, the other department would make fun of them, some clients

even asked if they had no better candidate, that they stoop so low and hired somebody like that to join

the public relations department.

Manager Xu was treading carefully and complaining to Gloria, but Gloria didn't understand, this

subordinate of her was a capable worker, why was she always complaining about Grace behind her

back?

Gloria had plastered a standard smile on her beautiful face, her smile was flawless, "Manager Xu, I

was the one that arranged Grace to join our department, are you unsatisfied with my decision? Or do

you question my judgement?"

The pleasing smile on manager Xu froze, her forehead started sweating and she immediately retorted,

"No no, of course not. If you think she has talent, then I will definitely spend more time guiding her. I'll

take my leave, Gloria, Mr. Lee is waiting for me."

Manager Xu turned around and left, she was indignant. She didn't understand what was so good about

Grace, she was just a janitor and yet Gloria was optimistic about her.

Manager Xu never knew that Gloria took such good care of Grace not just because she thought that

Grace had a promising future. But manager Xu wasn't to blame, nobody would've ever thought that

Grace three years ago was a completely different person.

Gloria stood at the same spot, she felt comforted hearing that Grace was taking two days off to rest,

this woman was finally taking care of herself.

"Luckily that she still knew when to stop," Gloria rubbed her nose, lately she was most afraid when the

silly Grace would come to her and say, "Gloria, I'm done with the work on my hands. Do you have

anything more that I can do?"

"It's good, it's good," Gloria let out a sigh of relief, she was in a good mood.

Ruby met a colleague when she was going down the stairs, she called out to the colleague abruptly

and asked, "Sheila, was Mr. Cordon in the office today?"

Sheila was regarded as a "traitor" by Ruby even though on the surface she called Sheila her best

friend. Sheila was the waitress that got called away by Annie when Ruby was telling her about the

incident with Queena and Luna.

"I don't think so, I didn't hear that Mr. Cordon was coming over today. If he were to come, the girls must

have known about it," Sheila asked honestly, "Ruby, do you also like Mr. Cordon?"

The expression in Ruby's eyes turned stern, what did she mean by "also"?
