Chapter 236 - Ruby Life Is At Risk
No daughter could not handle such a situation in her life. The same thing happened with Emily. She never expected this side of her father. She knew her father as a perfect gentleman who was a well-behaved man and helping in nature. It was a shock to her when she came to know about spiking Katherine's drink. She was so angry at him and fought with him for a few days and also told her father to not harm Adrian and Katherine. Then she left for the other branch as she wanted to solve some issues. It has been nearly three weeks, she talked with him. She thought her father would never repeat such kinds of things in the future because he loves her so much.
After knowing the news about Sam's condition, she came to meet Adrian and Katherine. She wanted to inform her about this news to her father as soon as she landed in her city. She wanted her father to come along with her to the hospital to reconcile with Adrian. She doesn't want her best friend, Adrian, and her father to be on bad terms.
…..
But after hearing the conversation over the call, her body froze. She never imagined even in her dreams that her father would have an affair with a woman at this age. She doesn't know how much time she stood in the airport while crying. She doesn't want to see her father, so she took a cab and went to the hospital to visit Sam.
When she reached the hospital to visit Sam, the guards didn't allow her to enter the ward. She requested one of the guards to inform her about her visit.
" Please...just inform my name as Emily Green to Adrian and Katherine…" Emily pleaded. The guard nodded and asked to wait at the same place. The other guards kept their eyes on her as they got information about Grayson's men inside the hospital.
….
" Sir… a woman named Emily Green came to visit Sam and wanted to meet you " the guard informed Adrian.
" Let her come…" Adrian said as he knew she was no harm. And the guard allowed her to meet both. Steven, who was standing, said, " We will start in twenty minutes, better if we send her quickly…"
Ruby and Maria were sitting beside Katherine who sat with a sad face. Everyone looked in the direction when they heard footsteps. As there was complete silence on the floor, the sound of footsteps was clear. Then they noticed Emily coming in their direction.
" Hi...Addy. I could not stay without meeting you when I got news about Sam. How is he now? " Emily inquired.
" Present...he...is...in...Coma because he had blood clots. Just we are hoping for the best…" he replied.
" Everything will be fine. Now we have advanced in medical science, not to worry…" she tried to console Katherine and Adrian.
" By the way, why do you arrange so many security guards around the floor? Is everything alright? " she doubted.
" Yes…." Adrian lied as he doesn't want Emily to be worried. Emily looked at everyone's faces and felt something suspicious. She knew about Adrian. So she asked Maria kneeling in front of her, " Aunt Maria, at least you tell me the truth. What is going on? "
Maria looked at Adrian then at Katherine. She sighed and said, " It's all happening because of our bad luck….". Emily didn't expect that sort of reaction from Aunt Maria.
" What happened? Please tell me, you are making me anxious " she requested.
" It's all happening because of Katherine. …" Maria said. Emily was shocked by her words and looked at Adrian whereas Katherine had tears in her eyes.
" Mom...I didn't expect this from you"
"Already Kathie is already upset with Sam's condition and Martin's behavior. " Adrian yelled at his mother, placing his hands around Katherine's shoulders.
" If she would have told us the truth earlier, Sam could not be in this state. We would have been cautious before. See how my little Sam was lying unconscious on the bed " Maria said.
" Aunt Maria, Kathie has no more pain in her heart than yours. Please try to understand, " Steven said.
" What is going on here? " Emily asked confusingly and she felt strange when Martin was not present with them.
Maria narrated Katherine's past to Emily in brief. After knowing the truth, she sensed how deep her love for Adrian and the friendship between Katherine and Martin was. But one thing she didn't get.
" What about between Kathie and Martin? That he was not with her" she started thinking. But she was in a dubious state to ask about him.
" We have to start in ten minutes…" Steven informed them. Just then Ruby stood up and informed Kathie that she had to use the restroom. She walked towards the restroom on the floor. Steven followed her for safety. Emily looked at both of them skeptically. Steven stood outside the restroom which made her more suspicious.
…..
A few seconds later, everyone heard a scream inside the restroom. The next second, the restroom door was wide opened. A woman strangled Ruby's neck with her forearm from behind and kept a sharp knife in front of her neck. She looked six feet with a fit body. Steven was terrified of seeing Ruby's life at stake. Not only her life is at risk but also their unborn baby in her womb.
Everyone panicked hearing the screams and ran in the direction. They were stunned seeing the scene in front of their eyes.
" Leave … her…" Steven shouted. He was helpless as he could not take any risk fighting with that evil woman.
That woman smiled wickedly, and said, " if you want your girlfriend then send Katherine with me. Our car is ready with the driver in the parking a lot in the hospital "
Adrian fisted his palms with her words. On the other side, Emily was shocked to know that Ruby is Steven's girlfriend but not Martin. She understood that Martin showed a photo of Ruby and his to take rid of her. All these days, she stayed away from him so that he would be happy with Ruby.
…..
" Leave her…." Steven repeated controlling his anger.
" No…." She said, moving the sharp knife on Ruby's shoulder. She stabbed slightly with the sharp end of the knife. There was a small cut on her shoulder but it was deep. Ruby screamed with the sting of pain and her eyes filled with tears.
" Please don't harm her. I will do, whatever you say…" Kathie said, looking at Ruby.. Adrian stared at Kathie with bewilderment.
