Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 589 - 316: Relying on Yourself Is Better Than Relying on Others (Second Update)
Initially, Sister Sam was a bit worried and scared, but after hearing Lawrence Winters’ words, she couldn’t help but want to laugh.
People were coming and going in the hospital corridor. She was worried about being seen, so she lowered her head and took a few steps forward. She saw a luxuriously decorated lounge and quickly slipped inside.
She wasn’t clear about Ruby Sheldon’s situation, so she replied to Lawrence Winters saying: Surely she’s fainted from anger, but I don’t know what’s wrong with her eyes. Can someone really be so angry that they become blind?
Lawrence Winters held her phone, unsure whether to laugh or sigh.
She nudged Kenneth Osborne with her elbow and said with a smile, "Ken, let me tell you something. That little princess from the Sheldon Family was driven to fainting by her second brother, my disciple Ryan Sheldon. She can’t even see now. Can you imagine being so mad?"
Kenneth Osborne looked up from his tablet, rubbed her head, and said, "No way can anger cause blindness. There’s probably another illness."
"Really..." Lawrence Winters pushed his hand away, puzzled, "What kind of illness could the little Sheldon princess have? Her family is so wealthy, surely they wouldn’t neglect her health."
Kenneth Osborne shook his head, "Right, with the Sheldons’ wealth, it shouldn’t be anything too serious."
Not particularly interested in the Sheldon affairs, Kenneth Osborne pulled Lawrence Winters over and kissed her, "Did you take a shower?"
Lawrence Winters had already moved in with Kenneth Osborne.
In the evening, they would return to Lawrence Winters’ apartment for dinner after work, and then drive back to Kenneth Osborne’s place together.
Lawrence Winters replied with a smile, "I did."
"Alright then, I’ll go shower. Wait for me," Kenneth Osborne pointed towards the bedroom.
"Wait for what? I’m exhausted... Oh, I can’t take it anymore..." Lawrence Winters blushed, covered her mouth to stifle a yawn, and ran to the bedroom.
...
In the hospital’s private ward, Ryan Sheldon walked in.
Ruby Sheldon lay pale on the hospital bed, a needle inserted in her wrist, receiving IV fluids.
A circle of machines around the bed flashed various data.
Seeing Ruby Sheldon like this, Ryan Sheldon couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret.
Autumn Stetford and Aiden Sheldon sat on either side of the bed, each holding one of Ruby Sheldon’s hands, staring steadily at her.
Ryan Sheldon gently asked, "Mom, Dad, how’s Betty?"
Autumn Stetford turned to give him a reproachful look, "You still care about your sister? Look at her now, are you happy?"
"I... I didn’t mean to," Ryan Sheldon rubbed the back of his head, mumbling, "I just said a few harsh words. How was I to know she’d get this upset?"
"I suffered so much when giving birth to your sister, which caused her to be weak from birth. You know that, don’t you? That’s why your dad and I have spoiled her so much, never wanting her to be sador hurt." As Autumn Stetford spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Aiden Sheldon lifted his eyelids, glanced at her, and said, "Betty will be fine. What did the doctor say just now?"
Wiping her tears with her hand, Autumn Stetford choked out, "The doctor said she needs rest. They’ve done a CT scan, and the specialists are consulting to see what’s wrong with her eyes."
"Yeah, I heard Betty can’t see. How did that happen?" Ryan Sheldon awkwardly said, "I can understand fainting from anger, but going blind is beyond my comprehension."
Holding Ruby Sheldon’s hand, Aiden Sheldon coldly told Ryan Sheldon, "You’re not a doctor. If you knew such things, it’d be supernatural. - Get out!"
Ryan Sheldon immediately "obediently" rolled out.
He found Sister Sam in the nearby luxurious lounge.
"Abby." He sat next to Sister Sam, draping an arm over her shoulder, and whispered, "Don’t worry, Betty will be fine. She’s been frail since birth, frequently in the hospital. But she’s gotten better as she’s grown older. I didn’t expect..."
Sister Sam nodded, sympathetically asking, "Your sister’s been sick since birth? What kind of illness is it?"
"The doctors say her immune system isn’t very good, so it felt like she lived in the hospital when she was little, having to stay at least once a month," Ryan Sheldon recalled, "At that time, my parents focused all their attention on her, fearing she wouldn’t grow up."
"My brother and I were really concerned about this sister, we’ve always cherished and pampered her, giving in to her in everything..."
Sister Sam, understandingly, said with a faint smile, "Your sister’s current state is the result of your family’s pampering. Since that’s the case, you might as well continue spoiling her. After all, she can’t handle even a harsh word from you."
