Chapter 1539 Meeting Ruby

It was true that the hideout was well-concealed.

Looks like Steven has been busy with these projects for the past few years. The first is to build this hideout, then is to devise a plan on how to deal with the Seet family.

The hideout is a success. With regards to dealing with the Seet family… If he managed to invent the black box, he must believe that his victory is certain.

The wooden door opened slowly and Sally continued to lead the way in front.

When they entered, they saw an exceptionally beautiful courtyard. There were lights inside which shone brilliantly on the colorful flowers.

Kyle had never seen something like that before. “Can flowers grow underground?”

“Yeah, that’s so strange. It’s my first time seeing something like this,” said Saul.

“These flowers are fake. They’re made out of silk and have been sprayed with floral perfumes. If you take a whiff of the flowers’ fragrance, you’d think that they’re even more realistic, right?”

That’s true. This place is as beautiful as a paradise. If Steven’s relationship with Ruby is so bad, why would he build such a beautiful courtyard for her? Won’t he neglect her instead?

The moment that thought popped up in Kyle’s mind, Sally explained, “My mother made all these flowers herself. To her, they all have lives. Compared to humans, she prefers to spend time with these flowers and watch them quietly.”

“Your mother is quite skilled in crafts.”

“That’s the only thing she knows how to do.” Sally suddenly turned around and looked at Kyle. “My mother’s life was ruined because of your father’s viciousness.”

Kyle glanced at Sally and did not defend Evan.

He knew that she would not believe him unless there was evidence telling her otherwise.

Right now, only Ruby could resolve this misunderstanding.

“My mother is in this room. I’ve agreed to let you see her, but I can’t guarantee if she’ll meet you or not. If she is willing to do that, I hope that you won’t provoke her.”

“Okay.”

Sally opened the door and entered, while Kyle waited outside. He contemplated on what he should say to Ruby later. What would be appropriate to say to her?

Nina and Maya were both not there. If they were present, it might be easier for them to talk to Ruby instead.

Sally walked out ten minutes later. “My mother has agreed to meet you. I didn’t tell her who you’re yet. Be careful with what you say.”

“You didn’t tell her who I am?”

Sally rolled her eyes. “If I told my mother that you’re Evan’s son, I’m afraid that she’ll kill you on the spot for revenge.”

Kyle was shocked.

How can I ask her anything without revealing my identity? How can I bring up what happened that year?

“Come in. Only you are allowed to enter.”

After instructing Saul to wait outside, Kyle entered the room.

Although he had heard about Ruby’s condition from Sally, he was still surprised when he saw Ruby leaning on the bed.

She lay there weakly, so still that she looked like a character in an oil painting. She seemed so out of place compared to her surroundings.

Her eyes were blank and empty, like a motionless lake.

It was Kyle’s first time meeting someone like her.

Perhaps, Sally is right. The incident was so traumatizing that she has become a living zombie.

“Mom, this is… my friend. He’s a psychologist and would like to talk to you.”

Oh, I am now a psychologist.

Kyle glanced at Sally. He knew that Sally gave him this identity to make it easier for him to ask about what happened that year.

It was better to ask about it as a psychologist than as Evan’s son.

“Hello, Mrs. Maupay,” greeted Kyle.

Ruby turned around. When she saw him, a ripple of emotion appeared in her initially blank eyes.

“Mrs. Maupay, Sally’s worried about your health, so she wants me to have a chat with you. Would you like to tell me about anything that has been weighing on your mind?”
