Chapter 477
Did Someone Bully You
Julian Sterling had arrived at the hospital.
Because the restaurant where the accident happened was closer to Cole Medical Center, they went straight to Cole Medical Center.
Claire Bennett accompanied him for a full-body exam, while Ruby Sterling walked over to the hospital's small garden. She kept feeling that since Julian Sterling had already pretended to be hit by a car this time, it seemed there was no way around making the most of it.
As she thought this, Ruby Sterling curled her lips into a cold smile and took out her phone to call Old Mr. Sterling.
After the call connected, Ruby Sterling impatiently said, "Hello, Grandpa."
Ruby Sterling was a girl, after all, and Old Mr. Sterling's attitude toward her was fairly decent; he wasn't nearly as stern with her as he was with Julian Sterling.
He said gently and affectionately, "Ruby, why are you calling Grandpa? Your marriage to the Quinn family has already been handed over to your father to handle. If you have anything to ask, ask your dad."
"No, Grandpa, I..." As Ruby Sterling spoke, she started crying, her voice broken and pitiful.
Old Mr. Sterling thought something had happened to Ruby Sterling and immediately grew anxious. "Ruby, what happened? Don't cry first—hurry up and tell Grandpa. Did someone bully you?"
"No, Grandpa, I'm at the hospital right now."
The moment Old Mr. Sterling heard the words "hospital," he instantly couldn't sit still. "What! Ruby, don't panic. Which hospital are you at right now?"
"Grandpa, I'm at Zane Cole's hospital. Right now I..."
Before Ruby Sterling could finish, she was cut off by the impatient Old Mr. Sterling.
He comforted her, saying, "Ruby, don't worry. We're coming over right now. Be good and wait for us at the hospital."
After saying that, Old Mr. Sterling directly hung up the phone.
Ruby Sterling hadn't even had time to say anything before Old Mr. Sterling hung up. She stared at her phone, dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Why hadn't Grandpa let her finish?
She hadn't even told Grandpa about her brother yet.
But from what Old Mr. Sterling had said, he was coming over right away. Since that was the case, she would just wait here for them and tell them later. It would be the same thing.
Meanwhile, at the Sterling estate.
Old Mr. Sterling stood up directly from the sofa. With his brows tightly knit and worry on his face, he said to Old Mrs. Sterling, who was sitting beside him, "Old lady, Ruby's been admitted to the hospital. Let's go over there right now and take a look."
"What happened? Did something happen to Ruby?"
Old Mrs. Sterling had already noticed him while Old Mr. Sterling was on the phone with Ruby Sterling just now. In truth, Old Mr. Sterling normally wouldn't be this nervous; he only got like that when something major had happened.
Just now, she had heard words like "hospital," "injured," and "bullied" from Old Mr. Sterling.
Inwardly, she had vaguely guessed that something had happened to Ruby Sterling.
She was so anxious she paced in circles, on the verge of tears.
"Don't get anxious yet. Let's rush to the hospital and see what's going on first," Old Mr. Sterling comforted her.
Old Mrs. Sterling suddenly thought of something and asked, "Right, do Muyuan and the others know?"
"Right, then I'll call them now."
After saying that, Old Mr. Sterling immediately dialed Lu Muyuan's number. "Something happened to Ruby. She's in the hospital right now. Do you know about it?"
At that moment, Ruby Sterling's father and mother were out shopping for things for Ruby Sterling's wedding. After receiving Old Mr. Sterling's call, they were both completely dumbfounded.
"Dad, what did you say? Something happened to Ruby?"
When Ruby Sterling's mother heard that, her heart jumped violently, and she quickly leaned in. "What happened to Ruby? How is she right now?"
But after asking around like this, even Ruby Sterling's father and mother didn't know about it either.
In the end, all of them headed to Cole Medical Center at the same time.
Because of Ruby Sterling and Cameron Quinn's current relationship, they brought Cameron Quinn along too.
Ruby Sterling was waiting at the hospital entrance. She hadn't expected to see the whole family walking over together, and she instantly froze.
Holy crap! What is going on?
"Uh... Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma... Cameron Quinn, why are all of you here?"
Anxiousness flashed in Cameron Quinn's eyes. The moment he saw Ruby Sterling, he hurriedly rushed over to check on her. "Ruby Sterling, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"N-no, it's not me."
The group let out a breath of relief and pressed, "You're not the one who's hurt? Then who is?"
Ruby Sterling hadn't expected so many people to come. Originally, she had only wanted to trick Old Mr. Sterling and Old Mrs. Sterling into coming, then use Julian Sterling's situation to soften their hearts. But now that so many people were here, she suddenly didn't dare speak anymore.
"It's... it's..."
Seeing Ruby Sterling hemming and hawing, they were all anxious beyond belief. Old Mr. Sterling glared at her and asked, "Then say it already. Who got hurt? It couldn't be Julian, could it?"
The moment he thought of that possibility, Old Mr. Sterling became frantic with worry.
And yet Ruby Sterling, as if she had no idea how worried they were, still said nothing at all.
