NovelEnglishNick was stunned and so was Ruby.
The Gould family's bodyguards charged at Avery when they saw her strike Ruby, but Nick stopped them.
"That's between them women! You guys need to stay out of it! Go guard the elevator. Don't let anyone unrelated come in!" he said as he dragged the bodyguards out.

He closed the door behind him, leaving Ruby, Avery, and Elliot alone in the room.
"You hit me?!" Ruby covered her cheek. Her eyes were red with rage and disbelief.
"How could you let this happen to him, Ruby?! How dare you answer his call and use it to antagonize me while hiding his condition! What were you thinking?! What if he dies? Do you plan on keeping his body and filling my head with lies about how much you love each other?!" Ruby lowered her hands, balling them into fists. "He isn't dead! The doctors said that he is going to recover! He just needs some time!" "Who did this to him? Paul?!" Hatred filled Avery's eyes. "How dare he torture Elliot? Ruby Gould! What were you doing? Why didn't you stop him?!" snarled Avery.
Ruby shed tears of regret and said, "I couldn't stop Paul! | have failed Elliot!" "What gives you the right to keep him to yourself now? How dare you?!" hissed Avery through gritted teeth.
"Don't you feel even the slightest bit of guilt?!" "Elliot is still alive! Once he recovers, | will treat him well and make it up to him! How caring have you been? What gives you the right to lecture me? If you had truly cared for him and not wronged him in any way, then why would he abandon you and the children? Anyone but you can blame me for what has happened to him!" Ruby's response calmed Avery down immediately and made her realize that there was no point in arguing over this.
"Where is his medical report? Give it to me " She extended her hand toward Ruby, but Ruby stood still and refused to move.
"I said, give me his medical report! Get out if you don't even know how to speak!" Avery raised her voice and clenched her fists, reaching the limit of her patience.

Ruby blushed in anger. "The report is in the cabinet right in front of you! Avery Tate, just because you have Nick backing you up, don't think that | won't-" "Kill me?" Avery looked at her coldly, before opening the cabinet ? taking out the report. "Are you getting addicted to killing people? If you struggle to control yourself, | recommend going to a psychologist, or I'm going to feel sorry for that baby you are carrying!" Ruby stormed out in rage.
Nick was smoking outside the room and pulled her back as soon as he saw her walking out.
"Ruby, | understand that you don't want to see Avery, but she's a good doctor. Let her stay and treat Elliot!" Nick said. "Paul has severely injured him, and it would make things even worse if there are any side effects!" "I want Elliot to wake up to my face, not hers!" "Then stay inside the room. That way, he will wake up to both of your faces," Nick said with a grin, "I envy Elliot for having two women falling head over heels for him.
"The sight of Avery annoys me!" "She could say the same, but if she can endure it, so can you." Ruby kept quiet.
"By the way, didn't you mention that this baby in you is a test-tube baby? Why did you tell Avery that it's Elliot?" Nick lowered his voice and said, "Elliot told me himself that he isn't the father." A sarcastic smile appeared on Ruby's lips." Why do you think | made the decision to kill my dad? It's because Elliot is the father of my child. Even if he doesn't love me, he will stay here for the sake of the child."
