“Is that Ruby?” Warren, let her in. “You'd better not upset my wife again.” Ruby ignored him and walked straight to Natalia. “I already told you this has nothing to do with Ruby,” Natalia said gently, holding Ruby's hand. “I'm just exhausted from days of poor sleep.” “Sweet

While Natalia's hospital suite was shrouded in tension, Matilda's was lively and full of conversation. “What did we have for lunch today?” she mused out loud, straining her brain to remember. “Porridge… No, that's not it. It was noodles, right?” Owen nodded, a gentle smile on his face. “That's right.” Grandma Matilda beamed proudly. “See, I told you I'm fine. My mind is sharp as ever.” Owen remained silent. His smile was hollow. They'd eaten rice for lunch, but Matilda had forgotten again. Her memory was deteriorating with each passing day, and he didn't know how to stop it. From across the room, Ruby asked lazily, “Grandma, what color was Mr. Knight's tie yesterday?” Matilda frowned. “Sweetie, I don't like that. You call him Mr. Knight.” She turn

Leo's words hung in the air. One by one, all eyes turned to Carter. Carter looked stunned. “Wait. Did Owen arrange this room?” he asked, his voice unsteady. “That's right,” Leo replied calmly. Owen, however, said nothing. Maintaining a composed, distant expression, he stepped out into the hallway, clearly giving the family their privacy. Only Ruby knew he was there, but she kept her lips sealed despite her surprise. Natalia was stunned, too, but she recovered quickly, forcing a smile. “So, Carter, your uncle secured the suite for you. How nice of him.” Leo chimed in with a smile. “Actually, Miss Ruby asked the boss to arrange this.” “Did you ask hi

“I heard the hospital's packed with flu cases, not a room available yesterday.” “Yet Carter secured this one for us.” “We're indebted to him.” Natalia's eyes went wide. “Did he arrange this?” “Sweet. I must thank him.” “He really is a good kid.” Isabel jumped on the opportunity. “Mom, since Carter has been so good to you.” She barreled on with a dramatic sigh. “The Knight family wants Carter to lead R&D, but the veteran researchers won't respect him.” “If Doctor N came on board, even as a consultant, Carter would gain the authority he needs.” After she finished speaking, Isabel watched her mother's face. Sure enough, she saw the conflict there. Natalia had principles. She hated calling in favors, but she hated owing them even more. Natalia hesitat

Your mother may call him useless, but I know better. You've always had good judgment.” “I'm sure he's not so bad. Bring him to meet me someday.” Ruby's eyes burned. “Yes, ma'am,” she whispered.

It was Owen, looking like an immovable guardian, holding the world at bay for her. Ruby blinked back her tears, swallowing hard. “Mr. Knight…” Warren stammered. Owen's voice was calm, but there was a sharp edge beneath it. “Mr. Anderson, I usually don't interfere in family matters, but my grandmother is very fond of Ruby, and I'm certain she wouldn't appreciate seeing her with a bruised face.” Warren's hand dropped, his expression one of shame. “You're right. My apologies.” Before anyone could say more, a soft cough came from the room. Natalia was awake. Warren and Isabel rushed inside at once, forgetting everything else. Ruby got to her feet, wanting desperately to go in. But she held

Ruby's words sent a chill through the room. Isabel hesitated, then frowned. “What do you mean?”Ruby Carter stared at her, uneasy, before anyone could respond. Natalia, agitated, went into a violent coughing fit. “Where is Dr. N?” she gasped between breaths. Ruby rushed to her side and pressed a cup of tea into her hand. Natalia's fingers trembled as she held it, but then the cup slipped from her hand. And she collapsed forward onto the table. “Mrs. Anderson!” Ruby cried, reaching for her, but Isabel shoved her back hard. “Get away from her!” she screamed. “What did you do to my mom? Mom, wake up! Carter, call 911!” The ambulance arrived within minutes. As the medics lifted Natalia onto the stretcher, Ruby tried to climb in with them, but Carter grabbed her arm and yanked her back. His face twisted with anger. “You're a disgrace,” he snarled. “Stay away from her. If anything happens to her, you'll answer to me.” He shoved Ruby back onto the curb. Ruby didn't fig
