The Contract Marriage by Winter Love

Chapter 286 Changed Into A Different Person

“Vivian, did something happen to Ruby?" When he saw that it was Vivian calling, Ruby's father immediately picked

up the phone as he thought that something had happened to his daughter.

"Uncle, Ruby is fine. Nothing happened."

"Is that so? Then why are you looking for Uncle?"

"I want to ask uncle for a favor."

"Okay! As long as uncle can help, just say it!"

"Okay. . ."

After Vivian called Ruby's father, she looked at the road in front of her and pondered for a moment. She then asked

the driver to drive the car to Municipal Hospital.

Ever since Ethan got into trouble, she had never gone to see him. Since she had time now, she had to go and take a

look no matter what.

The car quickly stopped in front of the consultation hall. Vivian paid the fare and went straight to the inpatient

department. She followed the nurse’s instructions and went all the way there. Soon, she arrived in front of Ethan's

ward.

Vivian reached out and gently pushed open the door. She saw Daphne sitting in front of the bed, holding Ethan's

hand and talking.

"Mom. . . "

Daphne turned around and saw Vivian. She was more or less surprised. "Vivian, why are you here?"

"I came to see Dad. Is he better now?" Vivian asked as she walked to the opposite side of the bed and stopped.

Daphne sighed, "He is still the same. No matter what I say to him, he did not react. . ."

"Why don't we carry Stephen over some other day? Maybe it will be better for father's condition. . ." Like a filial

daughter-in-law, Vivian looked at mother-in-law and suggested an idea.

However, Daphne shook her head, "Forget it. The child is still young and does not know how to say anything. I can

just talk to him. . ."

"Mom, I have nothing to do anyway. Sister-in-law will take care of the child. In the future, I will come with you to

take care of Dad every day. Let me do my filial piety."

" No need. I'm just here to chat with your dad. Besides, there's a nurse here."

"But you're tired of staring at this place every day. It's settled then. Please let me share some of your burden."

"Vivian, I know that your filial piety is satisfied. You really don't need to be here. You can just go back. "

Hearing Daphne continuously reject her, Vivian lowered her head. Gently twisting her bag, she said with grievance,

"Mom, I know that you have always had a problem with me. Actually in this one month's time, I have been

reflecting on myself. I know I was wrong, very wrong. I know you don't like me and you are afraid that I won't be

able to take care of my dad here. But Mom, I haven't been living a good life lately. I know that the family has a lot of

opinions about me. Julian wants to divorce me. He didn't look for me even when the child was just born. . ."

Vivian's eyes turned red when she said this, and her tears fell.

Daphne did not say anything when she heard what Vivian said. What happened during this period of time made her

no longer have a good impression of Vivian. But hearing what she said just now, Daphne’s heart was somewhat

shaken.

Seeing that Daphne did not speak, Vivian continued to sob and said, "Mom, just give me a chance. I don't have any

other thoughts. I just want to make it up to you a little. . ." After saying that, her tears could not stop falling again.

Daphne looked at Vivian and sighed. Seeing that the later kept crying, she could not bear it anymore. "Alright. If you

want to come, come with me. . ."

Leaving her husband to Vivian alone to take care of, she was really worried.

"Okay, thank you, Mom. . ."

"You can go back today and come back tomorrow. . ."

"Okay. . ."

In the following days, Vivian seemed to have completely changed into a different person. Whether it was at home

or in the hospital, she would do her best.

In the hospital, when Daphne helped Ethan wipe his face, Vivian and the works that were done by the caregivers,

Vivian rushed to do it. Sometimes, she would even wash Ethan's feet and wash his clothes.

Daphne saw it and her view of Vivian slowly changed.

When Vivian returned home every day, she insisted on playing with the child for a while. When she was happy, she

would laugh out loud in the living room. After dinner, every night, she would bring a cup of coffee to Julian.

Although Julian knew that it was just a cup of coffee, he would never drink it. But Vivian still insisted on doing so.

Because she knew very well that if she appeared in front of Julian and Ruby many times, their vigilance against her

would slowly weaken.

Half a month passed just like that.

The people of Cooper Family saw Vivian's performance during this period of time and felt that she was slowly

getting better. Even Sarah started to feel that Vivian had really become better.

Today, Ruby followed Julian to the company as usual.

Because it was Monday, there were a lot of meetings in the company. But with Ruby's help, Julian did it with ease.

It was almost noon when Ruby brought Julian back to the office. She just brought him to the leather chair and sat

down, Ruby's phone rang continuously.

She took it out to take a look. It was her father who called. Ruby looked at Julian and hesitated for a moment.

"Julian, I'm going out to answer a call."

Julian frowned. "Why do you want to go out? Who called you?"

"It was my Dad. . ."

He said, "Then you can pick me up from here. I'm not an outsider. "

"Okay." Ruby nodded, pressed the answer button and put it beside her ear.

"Ruby, can you come back now?" It was not Ruby's father's voice that came from the phone, but Ruby's mother.

Hearing that her mother's voice was not right, Ruby nervously asked, "Mom, did something at home?"

"Your Dad's leg was broken yesterday and he is now lying on the bed. Moreover, your second sister gave birth

today. You also know that her mother-in-law had already passed away and no one is there to care of her at all. Can

you take a few days off to come back? I am really worried that your father is alone at home."

"Okay, Mom, I'll go back."

"Okay, then I'll go to the hospital first. I don't know how your Second Sister is doing today. I'll hang up first." Ruby's

mother sounded very anxious. After she finished speaking, she quickly hung up.

Ruby put away her phone. She looked at Julian and felt a little awkward. She thought about what he would do if she

went back. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

"Ruby, what happened?" He also heard some things just now. Ruby was silent the whole time. Julian looked in her

direction and asked anxiously.

"Julian. . . That. . . I have to go home for a few days. . ."

"Go home? Why? What happened at home? "

"My second sister is having a child in the hospital. She doesn't have mother-in-law, and my brother-in-law is working

elsewhere. So my mother has to go to the hospital to take care of her. . ."

"Then why do you still want to go home?"

"My dad's leg was broken yesterday, so he can't go down now. . ." Her brother was in school, so she could only go

back to take care of her father.

Julian nodded. "Ruby, you can go back then. Anyway, I'm fine for a few days. How long will it take for you to come

back?"

"I can't say for sure either. . . If Second Sister gives birth, my mother will have to take care of her for a month no

matter what. . ."

"Then you won't be able to come back for a month?" Julian asked nervously. A month was too long for him.

Ruby bit her lips, but there was nothing else she could do. "I see that your secretary Jenny is also very careful. I will

tell her about the work and let her help first. What do you think?"

She could not let Julian go anymore but she still had to return home.

"How can she do that? I don't like people who are too narrow-minded. Ruby, how about this? I'll find a nurse to take

care of your father. Wouldn't that be good? Or you can hire Maternity Matron for your Second Sister. This way, you

can be at ease. How is it?" Other than Ruby, he could not believe anyone else.

Hearing Julian's words, Ruby felt that it made some sense. She nodded slightly. "En, this is also not bad. But I still

have to make a trip back. When the time comes, I will call you. Do you think it's okay?"

"Alright! Anyway, today's work was almost done. I won't be very busy tomorrow. Go back and take a look. If

possible, come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, alright?"

"Okay! Then I'll call Jenny in first and tell her." Even if Julian did not like it, she could not lack people to take care of

him.

Julian did not refuse and allowed Ruby to do it. Ruby found Jenny and told Jenny in detail about the two days of

work. She also told Jenny about some of the small details of Julian's life in detail and told her everything.

Ruby then took her bag and greeted Julian before rushing back home.

Seeing Ruby walk out of the company and stop a taxi by the roadside to leave Cooper Group, Lucas walked out of

the lobby and saw the car disappearing into the distance. He took out his phone and called Vivian.

Because Ruby was not around, on this day after work, Julian came back alone. Without Ruby by his side, it was as if

he had lost his sight again. No matter what he did, he had to find someone to help him.

This feeling. . . It made him very unhappy.

After dinner, he was really not in the mood. He asked Hannah to send him to the study upstairs.

Without Ruby by his side, there were some documents that he could not handle at all. Fortunately, he did not bring

any documents back today. The reason why he went to the study room was that he wanted to stay alone for a

while.

Julian fumbled around and took out his phone. He pressed the 1 button and dialed the number. This was to make it

easier for him to find Ruby. She specially set the speed button.

The phone rang for a while before it connected. Ruby's familiar voice came from inside.

"Julian, how are you today?" Although she was taking care of her father at home, Ruby still couldn't help but worry

about Julian.

"Ruby, how is Uncle? When can you come back?" Upon hearing Ruby's voice, Julian anxiously asked.

"My father's calf has fractured. He has already been cast with plaster and has returned home. But he can't move

his legs now, so I can't go back for a while." Ruby replied helplessly.

"Then have you discussed with your dad about finding a caregiver to take care of him? If you were not by my side

for a moment, I would feel flustered."
