CHAPTER 37
The driver finally arrived at the hospital and Ruby basically ran out of the car as she couldn’t wait to see her sister, after a very long time. She felt so happy that she was finally going to see her.
She decided to call Ophelia and ask if she had arrived at the hospital.
It would be only right if they both went in together as she requested that Ophelia come along.
“Hey girl…..” Ruby said gingerly the moment Ophelia received the call.
“Hi, Ruby.. are you at the hospital yet? I just arrived” Ophelia informed.
“Me too. I’m standing by the entrance. You’ll see me there” Ruby informed.
“Okay, babe. I’m on my way” Ophelia said as Ruby disconnected the call afterward.
After a few minutes, she saw Ophelia coming towards her.
“Hey….” she smiled, waving her hands in the air.
Ophelia’s face broke into a wide smile as she saw Ruby. She literally ran to hug her friend.
“How are you doing girl?” Ophelia asked, her face beaming with smiles as she looked at Ruby from head to toe. She was looking so different and better, of course.
“I’m good” Ruby replied as she looked so happy to see Ophelia.
“Is that your car?” Ophelia gasped as she pointed at the Bentley that was packed not too far from them.
“No actually, it’s Jaxon’s” she answered with a grinnish smile on her face.
“SHUT UP!!!” Ophelia blurted out in disbelief.
“Whatever belongs to your husband fucking belongs to you girl..” she deadpanned hoping that would stick in Ruby’s head’
“I mean, look at you babes. You’re leaving the life they all wished for” Ophelia scoffed as she took in a deep breath.
“Look at your dress, do you know this is a limited edition?” Ophelia grilled, completely mesmerized by the sight before her.
“Really?” Ruby mouthed as she took a look at the dress. It was from the tons of clothes Jaxon got for her and she just picked it out, casually.
“Of course, really. It costs a fortune and it’s worn to special functions, but my bestie is wearing it to a hospital. That’s huge girl..”Ophelia deadpanned as she held Ruby’s hands.
“Now come on, let’s go in” Ophelia tugged at her as they both walked into the hospital.
…..
“Oh my god!!! Kim!!” Ruby exclaimed as she basically ran to hug her sister who was seated on the hospital bed.
“Ruby” Kim smiled, hugging her sister back.
“It took you ages to come. I literally thought I would see you by my bedside by the time I woke up” Kim added as she rolled her eyes.
“Come on now..” Ophelia chimed in.
“Your sister has a life, you know? And you wouldn’t believe this, I have the biggest news of the century..” Ophelia giggled sheepishly.
“What news?” Kim turned to Ruby who was standing beside her.
“Ignore ophy for now, how are you doing? I’ve missed you a lot..” Ruby pouted, finally she could have peace of mind. Her sister was fine.
“I know. Me too..” Kimberly groaned softly.
“What’s the big news, Ophelia? ” Kim asked curiously as she was sure the news was related to her big sister. Who was looking so different, by the way?
“Well, since you’re so eager to hear it, our dear Ruby here is married!!” Ruby announced as Kim’s eyes widened.
“Married?” She repeated.
“Of course. Yes. She’s married and you wouldn’t believe who she married. Your sister is so lucky..” Ophelia deadpanned as Kim turned to face Ruby.
“I can’t believe you’re married already. I would have really loved to come to your wedding..” she frowned as she hugged her sister.
“Congratulations sis.” She congratulated Ruby.
“And you won’t believe who she..”
“That’s enough. Ophelia. We came here to see Kim. Not to talk about my marriage..” she waved her off.
“I spoke to Cheryl..” she began as she caressed her sister’s cheek slowly.
“You’ll be discharged in a week. They’ll have to make sure you’re perfectly fine..” she informed as Kim frowned.
“But it’s so boring here” she pouted.
“All I do is watch the news all day,” she complained in a low voice.
“I really want to go home..” she added.
“You’ll go home. I promise” she swore looking at her sister with nothing but love in her eyes.
“And about home..” Ruby began in a low voice. There was no way Kim could go back to their old house. She was thinking of an alternative on her way to the hospital.
“Ophelia, I really want to ask for a favor..” Ruby began, turning to her best friend.
“Let me guess. You want Kim to stay with me for the time being? Done! She can come. We have plenty of rooms..” Ophelia said, her smile never falling from her face.
“Why what happened to our old house?” Kim frowned.
“A lot of things have happened since you fell ill, Kim. A whole lot of them and I’ll tell you everything, I promise..” Ruby assured.
“Just stay with Ophelia for a while and I’ll look for how to get you an apartment..” Ruby promised.
“Stop sulking. Don’t tell me you’re planning to live with your sister and her husband??” Ophelia questioned as Kim shook her head
“Of course not,” she laughed.
Her thoughts were that her sister Ruby probably lived in a small apartment with whoever she was married to. She didn’t want to be a burden. And it was way better to live in a big house.
“Great!”
“So what has been happening? You can’t believe what happened yesterday at the hospital…” Kim began happily as Ruby sat beside her.
She began to fill them into everything that had been happening at the hospital, along with all the happy and sad events.
