He held the plane model and looked it over, grinning from ear to ear. After a long time, he asked in surprise, "Qiana, how did you get this from Ruth? Do you know her?"
Qiana mocked in her heart. Once a fool, always a fool. His reaction was slower than anyone else's!
She sneered in her heart, but pretended to be sympathetic and said, "Zorion, I heard from the servants that Ruth was very miserable after she left the Quartley palace that day. She lives alone in a small apartment and had no one to rely on. I just wanted to buy something to visit her. After all, the little girl is pitiful."
"She was very happy to see me visiting her. She kept talking about you with me, saying that she missed you very much. When I was about to come home, she gave this to me and asked me to bring it to you."
If any ordinary person heard this, they would definitely find it strange.
After all, Qiana and Ruth were neither relatives nor friends. Would she really have gone to see Ruth just because she'd heard a few words from the servant?
It was too far-fetched.
But Zorion wouldn't think this way.
He was a fool with a simple mind. After hearing her words, he judged her as a good person.
He had had a good impression of Qiana before, but now it was even better.
Zorion said, "Qiana, you're so nice. You went to see Ruth and bought something for her. You're such a nice person."
Qiana smiled gently and said, "I also heard you mention Ruth last night. I could see that you're worried about Ruth, so I paid her a visit on behalf of you."
Touching the plane model in his hand, Zorion asked, "How is Ruth?"
Qiana shook her head.
At once nervous, Zorion asked, "What's wrong with Ruth?"
Qiana gestured with her hands and said, "Ruth lives alone in such a small apartment, and her clothes are also ragged. How is she living a good life? The way I see it, she is living a hard life."
"But Ruth didn't tell me that." Zorion was anxious.
He had met Ruth several times since she left the Quartley palace, but Ruth had always said that she was doing good.
Qiana sighed and said, "Zorion, Ruth is a good girl. She wouldn't tell you even if she was having a difficult time. She just doesn't want you to know, she doesn't want to see you worry."
Zorion's face turned red because of the panic.
Qiana hurriedly comforted Zorion, saying, "Zorion, don't worry. I will take care of Ruth for you. And next time when you have a chance, you can visit Ruth more often. I know where she is. I will take you there next time."
Zorion nodded immediately and said, "Qiana, you are so kind."
After thinking for a while, Zorion said, "Qiana, can you bring me to see Ruth today? I want to see her today."
Hearing Qiana say that Ruth was not doing well, Zorion felt as if his heart had grown wings and flown out of his chest. He wished he could see Ruth immediately.
Qiana said hesitantly, "Today? Would Yuliana be unhappy if she finds out?"
Zorion said immediately, "I won't let her know. We won't tell her."
Qiana reluctantly agreed. "All right, I'll take you there tonight. We won't tell anyone about it. You sneak out when Yuliana is away."
After chatting with Zorion, Qiana went back to her bedroom. At this time, her phone rang.
The man on the other end of the phone told Qiana two important messages.
One of them was that Ruth had indeed gone to the obstetrics and gynecology hospital recently and had undergone pregnancy tests. She was pregnant.
The other thing was that Ruth had never had any contact with any man ever since she left the Quartley palace.
Hearing this, Qiana was overjoyed.
Ruth was really pregnant!
And it was basically certain that the baby belonged to Zorion!
