The doctor's expression was grim. His eyes scanned the row of faces.

Who's with the patient? Any family members here? The question thickened the tension in the hallway. Ruby almost stepped forward, then stopped.

Her eyes darted to the floor, biting back that impulse that seemed so natural to her body.

She's not my mother. She reminded herself bitterly, no matter how much I wish it weren't

  • Married To a Stranger    Chapter 171

    Sebastian and Owen were still in the parking lot. When Caleb narrated everything in between his panting breaths, Sebastian grew momentarily still. But Owen couldn't help himself. He broke into a mocking laugh. Well. Mr. Sterling. You must be so proud of who you're protecting. Am I right? Sebastian's complexion was ashen, not just. because of Owen's taunts, although those did some damage. Mainly it was because he couldn't fathom that Natalia's daughter could be like this. Still, his jaw remained clenched with resolve. His eagle eyes landed on Owen as he declared. I already told you. I don't care if Isabel is guilty or not. I don't care what shady business she's been involved in. She's Nat's daughter. So I'll keep her safe. Come what may. With that, he turned on his heel and sped up to the stairwell. A shiver ran through Owen's eyes. He could instantly

    Every head in the hallway snapped towards the new character, who had appeared with a bold claim. Zoe leaned against the door frame to the stairwell. Her breath coming in short, sharp bursts. She had run with such speed that it took her a moment to compose herself. Soon after, she stood up, straight, looking, stately and commanding in her uniform. Good God. Now the cops are involved, and she says she's got proof. I can't wait to see what happens next. A reporter remarked, This story just got more interesting.The cameraman whispered feverishly, snapping pictures of Zoe. Ruby stared, stunned. How did she get here so fast? I just sent her the recording half an hour ago. Did Henry spill everything that quickly? Before Ruby could process it, Zoe was pushing through the mob of reporters to approach her. She radiated authority, and even the bravest member of the press didn't dare to mess

    Oblivious to the media mayhem on the hospital's third floor, Owen and Sebastian were still locked in their tense standoff inside Sebastian's luxury sedan. Caleb's little jokes, coupled with Owen's staunch defense, convinced Sebastian not to go completely gangster on Ruby. But the man was still simmering with anger on Natalia's behalf. Listen.Owen,you better tell your wife too, but the wailing of a police siren interrupted him. Sebastian's eyes narrowed. Who called the cops, damn. This just got serious. Caleb noted his easy smile, turning tense. Owen was equally miffed, but his frown smoothed when he saw the officer who dashed out of the car. Zoe, seeing her rushing toward the building. He knew she had to be there for Ruby, so he played it cool, not letting on that. He knew her. Isn't it for the best? Owen reasoned calmly, if Ruby really did push Isabel, then she can fa

  • Married To a Stranger    Chapter 168

    To Someone observing from outside the hospital suite looked like a luxurious resting spot, but on the inside it was like a chamber of doom. Natalia remained in a steady coma. Her husband had turned into a zombie, and her tall and proud daughter. She was the worst off. She'd been psychologically broken down into a shuddering mess. As hard as Ruby tried not to cry, her tears kept falling silently. Isabel had left her cornered and defenseless, shattering her confidence with a single manipulative statement. Your existence is a sin. She couldn't think. She couldn't even breathe. Well, Isabel demanded, impatiently, come on. Get up, Ruby, go tell Carter, you faked the DNA reports. Ruby didn't speak. Despite her trembling lips. She just remained on the chair, curled up like that abused little girl she used to be. Sheila's expression was even

    Henry's wild, unhinged laugh sent a shiver down Zoe's spine. But her ears perked up the second he was ready to spill the beans. She had been anxiously waiting to hear this big, dark secret that Shane Sutton had passed along. Go on. Tell me. Zoe urged, pushing the phone closer to him. So the recorder caught each word clearly. Henry's eyes flashed with a strange glint as he announced. Ruby is Natalia Anderson's real daughter. Isabel is the illegitimate one. My aunt Sheila. Swapped them at birth. Zoe's jaw hung open, completely floored. What did you just say? That's impossible. Her eyes still wide with shock, snapped back to Henry. So you and Isabel, your cousins. Henry's expression faltered. No, it's not like that. I'm adopted. I found out when I was a teenager. My dad was so drunk, he spilled out all the truth. He dropped his head into

    Even though Ruby's plan was working perfectly, the cold blooded cruelty in isabel's words left her momentarily shaken. To just toss a child away like that. She was beyond cruel. She was a damn monster. But she quickly composed herself, playing along and leading Isabel deeper into the trap. What about the baby's real father? Don't you care how he feels? The father? Isabel scoffed. He was just a fling. A toy I got bored with and threw away a long time ago. She seemed almost proud, unaware that Ruby knew it was Henry. As usual, isabel's fatal flaw was her big mouth. Now, Ruby had everything she needed. Her hand still in her pocket, she quietly navigated to her messenger app. She didn't have to look at her screen. After all, she was the legendary doctor in and could operate any device with her eyes closed if required. Her thumb danced around the phone sc

    Miss Anderson, you're already married. You cannot marry again. The shocked city clerk said flatly as he slid a paper towards Ruby.
