I've Been There Before

Chapter 36: Went to Hospital

Ruby took out of the breath with eyes widely open and felt much blush.

She became angrier and said, “You said I am not in true love. So, you seduced him; is it true love?”

Grace got frown. Who said Ruby was not in true love? She merely asked how much did Ruby love the man?

Grace lowered her head. She could hide her radiance in the past three years, but not rid her wisdom.

It was obvious that Ruby turned to be badly emotional only because these words rightly hurt her.

Grace shook her head.

Ruby went on to say, “What do you mean? You are so cheap to play a victim and seduce men to earn money. Why did you

shake your head? Deny me? I tell you,

Grace, everyone in the world can look down upon you, but you have no right to do that to anyone else”

Grace was shocked by what Ruby said just now. It caused her too frustrated. It was correct that everyone in the world can look down upon you, but you have no right to do that to anyone else.

Caden Shaw, are you happy to see it?

Oh... Grace changed to be the one you would like to see.

She closed her eyes with only one word in her mind, “Money!”

She was nothing without money; if she had money, she would have...

Ruby was derisive to have a look at Grace and felt her appearance so disgusting and said, “Anyway, remember you are a

cripple; don’t expect to be loved by Franklin” Then she turned around to go to her bedroom and left Grace there.

Grace pinched the middle of her eyebrow and could not wait to have a hot shower to go to the bed.

It was too hot without air conditioner, but Grace felt too chilly.

She curled up herself more under the quilt, by which she should get warmer.

Some thrush was singing outside the window which helped her go to sleep well.

“Hey, hey! Get up!”

Grace was woken up by someone rashly pushing her. She opened her eyes to see Ruby.

She was in high fever so that she did not think too much about what happened, just mumbling, “Stop! I am dizzy’

Ruby pushed Grace's hands again and stopped for a while. Then she sneered at Grace and said,

“I am not willing to enter into your room. I am just telling you it will be soon to go to work. Get up now! Don't sleep more! Last

time you did not go to work and I was blamed by Gloria. Today I would not like to have it anymore. Get up and go get dressed”

Work?

Work!

Grace's mind almost went blank as Ruby talked so much with her when she got high fever.

However, the word “work” exploded as a bomb in her dizziness so she had to wake up...work!

Finally, Grace left her quilt and got up. She felt hurt for all her body as well as got up hurriedly, as a result, she nearly fell down

on the ground.

Ruby frowned and said impatiently, “Hurry up! Don’t stay there. Here are no men. Stop playing a victim again.”

Grace was continuously humiliated by Ruby without saying anything; she changed the coat and put on shoes.

But Ruby would not like to stop it, "Getting wet in the rain made you so weak? I got rain also but never made it. Are you such a vulnerable girl?”

Grace rubbed her own head to relieve headache and turned around to say, “Ruby, don’t you know anyone in the world would not like a jealous and mean girl? If you want Franklin likes you, please have a change.”

Then she supposed Ruby would humiliate her more for a revenge.

Anyway, she would not like to hide her unhappiness with no reason.

When she was a child, her elder brother told her that she could do anything she would like to when getting illness.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

At that time, Grace especially loved to follow and paly with Caden. But she knew Caden was bothered a lot by her.

Even so, once upon a time, she was ill and requested Caden to have a nap with her at noon time. Caden was not patient with

her again, but she kept bothering him and asked him to follow what he told her before; it was that she felt not well so she could be capricious, and if he did not agree she would not be better.

Out of her expectation, Caden agreed to have the nap with her.

From then on, she knew it worked. Sometimes she intended to get ill with a cold shower, yet never got it again.

Grace kept in the memory unintentionally so she did not catch Ruby's unpleasant words.

“Grace, you said I am jealous and mean. Now you pretend not to do it?”

But Grace shouted in panic with Ruby's sharp voice.

“Bang!”

With the head knocking at the door knob, Grace felt so hurt that she couldn't help sucking her teeth, and turned to look at the

astonishing Ruby.

She really felt something warm going from her forehead; then she could only see a red world...yet it could be seen from Ruby's face that Ruby was getting more terrified.

What exactly was it? What happened?

“Oh...It's not me! It is not related with me! You did not stand steady! Not me! Not me!”

Grace got more blurred vision. What she did see at last was Ruby ran out of the room fast with great panic.

Her vision kept getting blurred, but she was confused. What's the matter with Ruby?

Oh..A little bit sleepy.

“Gloria, today I would like to ask for leave.” Grace called Gloria in a lower voice. Finally, she was so weak that she did not know what she was saying on the phone...

Just now, she heard the voice of someone walking to her in a rush. A shadow stopped in front of Grace and bent over to have deep breath.

“It is not related with me; she stood unsteadily. Yes, it is. Not me! Who knows she would fall down for being softly touched?”

Ruby went out and came back; she was out of breath while watching Grace lying on the ground. There was blood coming on Grace's forehead, so she used her phone to dial 120.

The call was waiting to be answered. However, Ruby remembered something suddenly and got scared to hang off the call without any hesitation.

She looked at Grace who was temporarily out of consciousness but did not know what to do. Soon later, she made a decision to squat down and pull up Grace with exertion.

Ruby tried with all of her best. At the beginning, she was afraid to have no power to make it.

Once she started, she was totally surprised to look down at Grace... She was so light in weight?

Anyway, take her to the hospital now.

Before thinking too much, Ruby had Grace lean on her shoulder and held Grace in arms to go out hurriedly, walking to the stairs.

She called a taxi to the hospital.

Ruby thought over some problem for a while. Then she determined to call her leader to say,

“Lindsay, I have to ask for my leave today. My roommate does not feel well and fell down on the ground by accident. Luckily, I left my charger at home and went back to pick it up to find what happened to her.

I sent her to the hospital and now I am here to stay with her...Yes, later after I arrange her well and will go to the club to ask

for leave for her...Ok, I see. She is my roommate; I will take good care of her’
