NovelEnglishChapter 1298:
“If it weren't for that house you own, | wouldn't waste my there,” Ruby muttered. Another sour smell drifted
over, making her frown. “Did you soil yourself again?”
Alec let out a string of broken sounds, his face twisted with frustration. He couldn’t speak clearly, but every word
Ruby said reached him.
The moment Ruby confessed she was only sticking around for the house, a wave of anger surged through him.
“Get... out!” The words cout slow but sharp.
Ruby narrowed her eyes. “Gladly! Let's see who's left to take care of you then!”
Just then, a nurse stepped into the room. “Your hospital and treatment fees have been overdue for two days.
Which family member is responsible for payment?”
She walked toward Ruby, holding out the payment slip.
Ruby didn’t even glance at it. “Not my problem. I'm not paying a cent.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGrabbing her bag, she strode right out of the room.
The nurse looked over at Alec, recalling that his daughter had only shown up once, on the day he had fallen ill,
and never returned. His son hadn't appeared at all.
“You'll need to settle the bill soon, or we'll have to discharge you,” the nurse said to Alec.
Tears slid down Alec's cheeks as he reached for his phone and held it out to her. “Call... Call...”
The nurse waited while Alec’s trembling fingers tapped in the code to unlock the phone before taking it.
She found the contact saved under his son’s nand pressed dial.
After a long wait, no one answered.

Switching to his daughter's number didn’t help. No one picked up, either. “If the bill isn’t paid, you'll have to be
discharged,” the nurse said flatly before handing the phone back and walking out.
When Ruby got home, she tried calling Isabella, but the call went unanswered. Her plan had been to pack up and
move in with her daughter, especially since relying on her son was out of the question.
A sinking feeling crept into her chest. “Did Isabella run off? Is she cuttingoff, too?”
She tried again and again, but Isabella ignored every call.
“Ill demand answers when she comes htonight,” Ruby muttered. “What is she thinking? I'm her mother!
She's supposed to take care of me!”
Just then, a sudden thought jolted her into action. She hurried to Isabella’s room, only to find that Isabella’s
belongings were all gone.
“Ungrateful brat!” she shouted into the vacant space. “Leave your father if you want, but me? If you ever set
foot back here, I'll teach you a lesson!”
Fueled by rage, Ruby tore through Isabella's room searching for money but cup empty-handed.
Checking her bank account only made her mood worse. If she left Alec's place, she'd have to work hard and
waste her money on rent—a life she refused to accept.
Grudgingly, she went back to the hospital.
