I've Been There Before

Chapter 38: Wanted Respect

Ruby carefully raised her head and looked at Sheila, she didn't answer Sheila and instead asked her, "Sheila, do you like Mr. Cordon?"

 

Sheila immediately waved her hands, "Not me, I'm talking about the others. There are so many that are in love with Mr. Cordon:

 

The sternness in Ruby's faded away, she advised Sheila, "It's good that you didn't fall in love with Mr. Cordon, you see, with his status, he must be picky about his partner, the person who can be Mr. Cordon's girlfriend must be an outstanding person”

 

"Mr. Cordon is just playing around at the Royal Club, all the coquettish and flirtatious women wouldn't catch his eyes. Sheila, I'm not putting us down, but Mr. Cordon must have high-expectations, don't you go crazy along with the lascivious people, or you'll be the one hurting in the end.

 

After she finished her lecture, she looked at Sheila, Sheila's hung her head low and she was not saying anything. Ruby pursed her lips and held Sheila's hand,

 

"Sheila, I'm saying this for your own good. You see, I don't just tell anyone this, we are friends and I don't want to see you get hurt”

 

Sheila looked a bit awkward, "I know Ruby, I'm going back to work.” Even though Ruby probably said that for Sheila's own 

good, Sheila's pride was still hurt.

 

Ruby didn't think much and left for the hospital.

 

She went into the ward and Grace was still unconscious, she puckered her lips, "Such a pain’

 

She talked to the doctor and the doctor mentioned that the wound on Grace's forehead looked bad, but it was actually not that bad, she only lost some blood because she was rushed to the hospital late. The real problem was Grace's fragile body, she wasn't very healthy.

 

It was the next day in the afternoon when Grace regained consciousness, her fever went down but her body temperature was still higher than normal.

 

She opened her eyes, her throat was parched, she said hoarsely, "Thirsty..”

 

The sound woke Ruby up, she rubbed her nose bridge and glanced at Grace, "Wait, said Ruby coldly. She then poured her a
