The nanny held onto Ruby and softly said," Miss Ruby, don't get angry. You're pregnant!
Ruby took a deep breath and tried hard to collect her emotions. Her father was dead. Elliot no longer hid his lack of feelings for her.
The nanny helped Ruby out of the ward.
"Miss Ruby, why do you have to do this to yourself?" The nanny said heartbrokenly," If I could say something, don't punish Paul already. At least his heart is always thinking of you. Look at Elliot. He doesn't even care about you. How infuriating."
Ruby choked up. "That's because he doesn't know the child in my stomach is his. If he were to know .his attitude would change. It would not be like this."
The nanny saw how stubborn Ruby was being, she could only let her be. At the end, when her heart has been smashed into pieces on the ground, she would know who truly treats her right.

The nanny shut up and did not dare to say anything more.
When they were by the lift, the lift doors slowly opened. Paul was standing inside.
The nanny saw Paul and her eyes instantly brightened. "Paul, why don't you take a walk with Miss Ruby! I'll head home first." Then, she left.
Paul came out of the lift. He saw how aggrieved Ruby looked. He explained, "I heard that Elliot has come around, so I came over to have a look. Why are you not with him in his ward?"
Ruby said curtly, "He doesn't want me to stay with him! He said he wants to follow
