Chapter 166-2
Not A Small-Town Girl
----
Ms. Dixon, Belle has a fever," the nanny said anxiously.
Belle had been frail since childhood, and fever was a
common occurrence. Fortunately, this was not the first time
she had a fever. Ruby helped cool her daughter down using
physical methods.
The fever made Belleâs little face flush, and she began
crying non-stop, each cry breaking Rubyâs heart.
This time, there was no effect after half a day of physical
cooling. Belle kept crying. Ruby hurriedly packed a few
things and booked a ride.
Worried that she couldnât take care of Belle alone in the
hospital, Ruby said to the nanny, "Come with me to the
hospital later, and it will be counted as overtime pay.â
âIâm willing to go even without overtime pay,â the nanny
said, looking at Belle lovingly. "I like Belle very much."
The two hurriedly took a taxi to the hospital.
----
At St. Katherineâs Hospital, Ruby held Belle, and the nanny
carried the things. The two trotted to the pediatrics
department.
At the spot where they werenât paying attention, Joseph
was about to go upstairs to see Elliot when he
unexpectedly saw Ruby. In the next moment, he saw the
child in her arms.
For some reason, Joseph felt a strange sensation when he
saw the child.
He thought, âThis woman had been coming to Darling
Group to bother me a few days ago, but now she has
stopped. Iâm glad to have some peace.
âSheâs already married and has a kid, so why did she still
come to Darling Group to provoke me? Thatâs like being a
scumbag."
Ruby held Belle for a checkup. It was confirmed to be acute
gastroenteritis, requiring an intravenous drip.
----
Belle was placed on the hospital bed. The tiny little one was
flushed all over because of the fever. Her small hand was
receiving an IV drip, and she kept whimpering because of
the discomfort, looking like a little kitten.
Ruby felt so heartbroken that she wished the illness could
be transferred to herself, as long as her daughter was
healthy.
----
The next day, Ruby went downstairs to buy some breakfast.
As luck would have it, she ran into Joseph coming down the
stairs.
Realizing that there was no way to avoid him, she put on a
professional fake smile and said, "Mr. Darling, what a
coincidence!"
Joseph glanced at Ruby and asked, "How come you are
here?"
----
letâs not talkXtight now. I have to go
see my friend now. Bye." With that»
said, Ruby ran off, running fasterS
than a@abbit. Anyone who didrtt
knawwould think there was@

"lim here alebght friend. Mr. Darling,
ster chasing her.
----
âHumph, friend!" As Joseph walked out of the hospital with
acold expression, he thought, âNot an inch of progress. She
still likes to lie as she did a few years ago."
As Joseph got into the car, he began to instruct Julian,
âFind out what Ruby has been doing these past few years,
and also... Forget it. Make the information as detailed as
possible."
"Got it," Julian responded, recalling that Joseph had
previously wanted to look into Ruby, but then stopped doing
so. "Iâll give you the information later."
Ruby ran to the doorway of the ward and patted her chest,
thinking, âThis is really too dangerous. This city is
dangerous. Once I find Mom, Iâll leave.â

At Moreno University, a luxurious Bugatti drove into the
school, attracting a lot of attention. Passersby were all
looking to see who had parked the luxury car at the
entrance of the academic building.
Danielle took her handbag. It wasnât that she wanted to
