Ruby's POV My foster mother sat on a bench, pale and shaken, as I stood a few steps away, trying to process everything.“I’ll make John take responsibility,” I finally said. “Just tell me which ward he’s in.”The man narrowed his eyes at me, measuring every word. After a long pause, he told me the room number. I thanked him quietly, though his expression made it clear this was far from over.About half an hour later, I saw the nurses wheel his girlfriend back from surgery. Her face was pale but peaceful. The man stood by, his large hands clenched at his sides. When the nurse told him the operation had gone well, he exhaled, the tension noticeably slipping from his shoulders.Before he followed the nurse into the room, he glanced at us again. “This isn’t the end,” he said coldly, then entered to care for his girlfriend.I felt something twist inside me.John had doubted me because of rumors. But this man… despite everything, he still chose to stay, to protect his girl who’d been hurt.
