Ruby let out a sigh as she walked to the reception, today had been hectic but one thing she was thankful for was that among all the accident victims, no one passed away, they were all currently occupying various rooms in the hospital, and there was barely a single bed left, and to make things kind of easy, they spoke to her unlike the women who were already in the island, which made her feel these ones were the new set, there were a few men too, not much, she had wanted to leave them unattended to but she took an oath which she couldn't overlook, she did treat them but told them they aren't to stay, yes she was mean but she didn't trust any man of the island aside from her team and Liam, well, Liam, she just didn't know anymore, it looks like he wasn't coming back for real, today was almost gone too and still no sign of him.When she had seen the people coming in, she had kind of hoped for a moment that he will be among them but when the last patch of people was brought in, she gave u
"Sorry, ma'am, it took longer than I had planned,""Fuck you, I was so scared, I thought you won't come baçk and that we will have to leave this place unattended to,""But I told you I was going to come back right? You should have a little more faith in me,"He said and she hit him again, he wasn't serious right now? Because she waited for extra four days she did her best to not think the worst for the first four days."You took way longer, and I called you but someone else took your call, how do you want me to keep blindly believing when it was looking like you did ditch us? You should have texted, called, or anything but you didn't, I hate you so much right now,"She yelled. She knew she shouldn't be shouting as there were patients in the hospital but she was just too emotional to care."I didn't do it on purpose Ruby, I lost my phone and before that, I couldn't reach you and I didn't have the contacts of the others, plus why will I disappear and not return when you are here?"He as
Liam didn’t know what to say, he just felt like a loser, he failed her, his energy was all suddenly gone, he didn’t know she wasn’t going to make it, he felt so stupid for forgetting how sick she was before he left.“Liam, stop please, you are scaring me,”Ruby said coming closer and kneeling in front of him, he looked at her, feeling so fucking frustrated and bitter.“Why? What happened ruby? Why was she put off the life support? I thought we could still save her, I didn’t know she would die,”He responded.Liam, listening to me, taking her off life support was the best decision for her, she wouldn’t have made it either way, and being made to live a little longer was more of making her suffer, so Nathan and I decided it would be best to just let her off, rather than watching her go through so much pain,”She explained, he wondered who Nathan was, he knew the other name, even though the Natha name sounded familiar, he couldn’t figure out his face or if he had seen him before."Who is
"How soon can you do that please?""As soon as we are done here,"He responded. Liam was going to reduce his bitterness towards him but then the buffalo just had to pick that moment to rest his arm on Ruby's neck, Liam looked away to stop himself from doing something stupid."Thank God you came back, we didn't know how we were going to just leave without helping, it would have been hell leaving this place and everyone behind knowing that they might not get help again, you coming back is so much more than you think it is,"Lewis said and Liam smiled at him."I promised that I will be back and yup, I am back, I could never go away and not come back,""I told you that, Doc, see now?"Sara chipped in and Liam smiled."Thank you for believing in me guys I really appreciate it and I thank you for everything that you have been doing and are still doing to help,"Liam said looking at all their faces, these people, they became people he had so much respect for, even though their job here was h
Ruby walked out of her office feeling stupid, did she really think Liam think highly of her? The jokes were on her for thinking he will take her opinion into consideration, but even if what she said didn't really make that much sense, he still shouldn't have dismissed her like that, like she didn't know what she was saying, it made her feel so less of herself, he listened to the guys talk and even thanked them for their suggestions but when she said something, he concluded that she was overthinking it."Let it go, Ruby, just let it go,"She told herself as she knocked on the nurse's room."Come on in,"She heard Emily's voice from inside, her voice reminded her of Liam being jealous of Nathan, okay maybe she had overthought that too and it was just happening in her head, she really need to keep her fucked up emotions in check, especially around Liam, they can be a team without crossing each other's part, it would do her good to expect anything."I came to get Kristen for her daddy,"R
"Sara? I thought you went to sleep already? What is it?"She asked Sara who stood at her door, she seemed to be teased which got Ruby worried, they didn't have any severe cases right now aside from the kids with holes in their hearts but they are both doing well, at least they were."What's going on Sara?""There are men in the hospital with guns, they want to see the head,"She revealed."Not again, don't tell me those idiots are back again,"She complained as she stepped out of her office and angrily walked towards the reception area, God damn if those idiots men that wanted Annette's dead body are back again to demand for it, she was going to pour them water."Doc, it's not the same men, these ones are different, I went to get paracetamol because I was having a headache and found them talking with Jane who was doing night duties,"Sara revealed making Ruby wonder who these new men were, it didn't take her long to figure out because she saw them standing close to Jane who was lookin
Liam followed behind Ruby, he couldn't deny that he felt hurt by how she reacted and shut him up but he still understood her, she was under a lot of pressure and those crazy men appearing in front of her had broken her resolve."You could have been a little nicer out there, I was just trying to help,"He said when he entered her office, she glared at him."I didn't ask for your help, I was doing pretty fine, just do your job and leave me alone, don't interfere,"She yelled at him."Why are you mad at me Ruby? I can't remember doing anything wrong,""I don't answer to you Liam, just know your place, I am willing to work with you but don't fucking start telling him to do my job,"She let out."I never told you how to do your job, what are you even saying?""I have said my mind, just leave me alone,"She responded. Liam didn't know what he did to make her so angry, but he didn't want to make it worst, or maybe he knew, he was back here and touching her again, he should know already that
"I saw the wave you are moving, you even got a prince on your side, wow, I just say I am impressed, you are doing great,"Luca said and Liam rolled his ears, he hasn't really checked the outcome of the exposure again since and decided that he would do it right after he drops this call with Luca."Thanks, so why did you call me? Do you want to ask me to leave again? I won't, even mom gave her approval,"He said."No, that's not it, I want to help, I will like to help if you will have me,"It was so rare to see Luca backtracking, that he was doing it right now only goes to show that Liam was going something right, he needed all the help he could get and Luca would do a good job at the casino so yup, he was going to forgive him for being a chicken."Luca, now you finally agree that we can do this? Wow, I must say that I am disappointed a lot in you in many ways but since you want to help again, then it is all good, you can be useful to me,"Liam replied. He needed all the help he could g
