What was going on at Ruby's?
"She's not picking up your calls either. I think something fishy is going on." Ben furrowed his brows. A bad feeling rose in his heart. "Let's wait! We'll soon have news from Nick."
Ten minutes later, Nick called.
"Elliot, the man I sent to check on Ruby said that her gate was shut. They did not find anything strange." Nick yawned. "Do you know what time is it over here? Why are you calling at this hour? Everyone is asleep!"
Elliot said, "Nick, an hour ago, Ruby called, asking for help. I heard the recording of the conversation. I heard a gunshot."
Nick was instantly serious. "But the man I sent there has returned. He said that he didn't find anything strange. You know as well that the Goulds have bodyguards. My bodyguards won't even dare to disturb them unless I head over there myself."
"Then, please, head over there! " Elliot said." I am sure I heard a gunshot."
"Tomorrow morning! I'm out now. I drank too much while socializing tonight. My head hurts," Nick said. "If something happened to Ruby, I will receive news of it. If I receive any news, I will let you know immediately."
Elliot could not do anything when he heard what Nick had to say. Ivy was his daughter, not Nick's. Of course, Nick was not worried.
Elliot wanted to badly fly to Ylore!
"What did Nick say?" Ben stood next to him. He did not clearly hear the conversation.
"He's out, and he can’t head over to Ruby's." Elliot's expression darkened. "Let's wait for a while! After a few more hours, there should be some news."
"Looks like all we can do is wait! It'll take a few hours to get there anyways," Ben sighed. "I can only hope that this is one of Ruby's pranks."
At Elizabeth Hospital, Avery brought Tammy to the lab. Tammy looked at the artificial womb for a while and sighed.
