Chasing the Unexpected CHAPTER 768

Chapter 768

For some reason, Sullivan felt uneasy maintaining eye contact with Ruby, so he awkwardly looked away. “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt. I’m used to it.”

Ruby’s hand paused, her guilt deepening as she recalled what Sullivan had shared about his past.

“The ambulance will be here soon. Just hang in there,” she comforted.

Sullivan nodded and said gently, “Don’t feel guilty. I’m just glad I could save you. You were facing the other way when that scooter came. If it had hit you, the consequences would have been severe. Now, it’s just a dislocated shoulder. I’ll be fine in no time.”

Hearing him say that only made Ruby feel worse.

“Sullivan, I’m sorry. I misjudged you before and kept refusing your kindness. I didn’t expect you to save me despite everything,” she apologized.

Sullivan reached out and gently patted her head. “You really don’t need to apologize. It’s not your fault.”

His voice was soft, like a breeze soothing Ruby’s bruised heart and easing her pain.

“Thank you, Sullivan,” she said, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at him. with gratitude.

Sullivan’s right hand slowly clenched, and he nervously averted his

gaze.

If Ruby found out one day that all of this was for his own benefit, she would probably hate him, right?

For some reason, that thought made him uncomfortable.

Before long, the ambulance arrived, and Ruby accompanied Sullivan to the hospital.

:

After the doctor examined him, he confirmed that aside from a broken left arm, Sullivan only had some scrapes and bruises.

Ruby finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sullivan looked at her. “You fell when I pushed you, so you should get checked out too.”

Ruby instinctively pulled her hand into her sleeve and shook her head. “No need, I’m fine.”

The doctor frowned. “Since you’re already here, you should get checked too. It’s better to catch any potential problems early

“You young people don’t have the best health these days. If you end up with an undetected issue because you didn’t get checked, that wouldn’t be worth it!”

After the doctor insisted, Ruby agreed to a check–up, which revealed only minor abrasions on her palm–nothing serious.

The doctor put a cast on Sullivan’s arm and asked Ruby to handle the admission paperwork.

Looking at the amount on the form, Ruby felt troubled. She didn’t have that much money left. Should she borrow some from Nyla again?

Noticing her worried expression, Sullivan took the form and glanced at the amount. I’ll transfer the money to you.”

Hearing this, Ruby quickly snatched the form back and shook her head. “No, no need! You got hurt trying to save me. I’ll pay for the medical expenses. I’ll go ahead and pay. The nurse can take you to the ward first.”

With that, she hurried away.

Sullivan’s expression gradually turned somber while watching her go.

On her way to handle the admission paperwork, Ruby wrestled with her thoughts.

Eventually, she decided not to ask Nyla for help this time. She would take out a loan online and pay it back with her next paycheck.

Nyla had helped her a lot, and she couldn’t keep turning to her just because she was kind.

After making up her mind, Ruby’s expression returned to calm. As she looked up, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure walking toward the hospital entrance.

Upon closer look, she realized it was Damon!

What was he doing at the hospital?

She remembered that when Nyla had called Damon at the office, he had said he was busy with socializing.

Ruby bit her lip and discreetly took a photo of his back. She was about to send it to Nyla but hesitated at the last moment.
