Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 462: He Didn’t Want This Either

A while ago.

Ruby Carter, who stayed in the greenhouse, felt uneasy.

Because she saw the man who had been pestering her talking to her brother.

She asked her brother, but he changed the topic and only said he didn’t know him.

Their siblings were nobodies, struggling to make a living for many years. That wealthy man had no reason to keep contacting them. To put it bluntly, their siblings were not that valuable.

If there was any change during this period, it was only that they became associated with Miss Allen.

Ruby Carter firmly believed that there were no free benefits in the world.

She was unsure if this person contacting them had anything to do with Miss Allen, but she wanted to tell Miss Allen about him.

However, Ruby had not been able to meet Nancy Allen for the past two months, and she didn’t have her phone number.

Nothing has happened during this period either, so it was impossible for her to rashly go to the Imperial Garden just because of a hunch.

While Ruby was thinking about this, her brother came to pick her up from work to go home.

Ruby Carter sat on the back seat of her brother’s bicycle, and politely waved goodbye to Manager Vance: "Goodbye, Manager Vance."

"Goodbye."

The siblings rode their bicycles home as usual and stopped in a small alley.

The house was rented, only a one-bedroom to save money. Ruby Carter slept in the bedroom, and Thomas Carter slept in the living room.

The house their parents left behind had been sold long ago. Over the years, they used up their savings to treat Ruby’s illness, relying on each other, living in poverty.

"Ruby, you take a rest first. I’ll go make dinner."

"Let me help wash the vegetables."

"No need, the water is too cold. Don’t get sick again, it’s been a while since you’ve had a fever. Just focus on getting well, I’ll handle everything."

Thomas Carter always tried to give Ruby the best protection.

Ruby could only obediently agree because her life experiences taught her that she had to take good care of herself. Trying to overdo things could not only not help her brother, but also make him spend more time and effort taking care of her if she got sick.

Ruby watched Thomas prepare dinner, then suddenly asked, "Brother, what did that wealthy-looking man say to you the other day?"

Thomas paused for a moment while washing rice, then casually said, "Nothing much, maybe he mistook me for someone else."

Ruby thought for a while and said, "Brother, I haven’t told you this, but the trouble I had in the greenhouse before was related to that man. He had a vague relationship with a former employee, and he was overly nice to me, causing that former employee to bully me. Brother, that man is not a good person."

Thomas finished washing the rice and said, "I know, Ruby. You don’t need to worry about these things. Don’t you know what kind of person your brother is?"

Ruby thought so too. Despite their hardships over the years, they’ve always been honest people, and the things she understood were all taught to her by her brother. She needn’t worry about her brother being deceived.

But when Thomas turned away, his eyes were filled with intense struggle and guilt.

He didn’t want to, but he wanted to save his sister...

Now, two months later, Nancy Allen came to the greenhouse.

But she didn’t see Ruby Carter.

At first, Nancy thought Ruby was just out on some errand, but she noticed that the area where Ruby typically reads didn’t have books, and her treasured bookstore card was carelessly left on the table.

For a moment, she thought Ruby was just like that previous employee, pretending to study hard.

But shortly after, Nancy shook her head, one’s eyes don’t lie, and she had noticed Ruby’s sincerity. Ruby wasn’t that kind of person.

When Manager Vance heard Nancy’s question, he quickly said, "Two months ago, her brother took her back, saying her illness relapsed."

Nancy was puzzled, Mr. Bailey had checked Ruby over, and she remembered her condition was under control back then. Ruby wasn’t having fevers anymore, so how could her illness suddenly relapse?

And knowing she knew Mr. Bailey, Thomas Carter didn’t mention anything when Ruby’s condition relapsed, which didn’t seem quite right.

Nancy asked in bewilderment: "Did Ruby say anything to you?"

Manager Vance shook his head: "She didn’t say anything. That day her brother picked her up after work, and she didn’t come the next day. Her brother came and took all her things away from the store."

Nancy found it strange. If Ruby was leaving, she would at least tell her.

The more Nancy thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

Perhaps it was the shared fragility or the fact that Ruby had once harbored suicidal thoughts.

Nancy was really concerned about Ruby.

In everyone’s life, there might be a light that illuminates you in your darkest, toughest times.

Robert Reed was once the light that illuminated Nancy.

Now Nancy also wants to be a light for others.

Upon confirming the stomach cancer diagnosis, Nancy even thought if she were to die, and her body could still be used, she would willingly donate her bone marrow to Ruby Carter.

Aplastic anemia involves issues with bone marrow, and a bone marrow transplant could provide some help.

Of course, as long as she was alive, Nancy wouldn’t sacrifice herself to help someone else, but if she was destined to die, she wouldn’t mind using her body to help a poor girl.

Despite her doubts, Nancy didn’t ask further, as Manager Vance wouldn’t know.

She said to Godfery Shaw, "Godfery, you better head to the office. Since you’ve delayed this long, there must be a lot of things that need your attention. On the way, if you see Thomas Carter, ask him for Ruby’s contact. I want to get in touch with Ruby. Don’t worry about me; I’ll rest here in the greenhouse and wait for you."

Nancy spoke, then sat in her hanging chair, curling up lazily.

Godfery frowned, "You shouldn’t be left alone now."

Nancy yawned, lazily said, "I won’t be alone, Manager Vance is here in the greenhouse, and you can always access the security cameras. I want to rest, and having you watch me all the time makes me feel pressured."

Since Nancy had said so, Godfery finally nodded.

As for asking Thomas for Ruby’s contact, it was just an excuse Nancy used to send him to the office. A phone call could easily find out the information, no need for him to run around.

Before leaving, Godfery looked towards Manager Vance, courteously saying, "Manager Vance, could you step outside for a moment? I have a few words to say to you."

Nancy was about to stand: "Godfery, what are you going to say!"

Godfery smiled, saying, "You don’t need to get up, just lie down and rest. Don’t worry, I’m just going to give a few instructions." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Manager Vance quickly followed Godfery outside the greenhouse: "Mr. Shaw, what would you like to tell me?"

Towards women other than Nancy, Godfery’s demeanor became stern and indifferent, returning to his lofty manner.

"Since Emma Lewis sent you here, you should be aware of how much benefit you’ll gain in the future by handling Nancy’s affairs well."

"You misunderstand, I’m not here for the benefits."

"No need to pretend in front of me; your ambition is evident in your eyes. I don’t mind if you’re ambitious; as long as you do what you’re supposed to, what you seek, you’ll naturally achieve. My only request is that from now on, your task is to stay by Nancy’s side, and if she feels even slightly unwell, inform me immediately."

Godfery’s gaze was too sharp, like an almighty deity seeing through people’s hearts, making any pretense in front of him look like a jest.

Manager Vance paled slightly: "I understand, I’ll take good care of Miss Allen."
