He's My Ruthless Billionaire novel Chapter 79

"Hailey..." I heard and I looked up to find Robert standing in front of me. "Are you okay?"

"You knew it?" I questioned as he didn't seem shocked at that time.

"Y-Yes..."

"Why didn't you stop me then? Why didn't you stop me from going with him?"

He looked at me helplessly. "Because... damn, Hailey, I thought he'd never hurt you!"

I looked at him and then looked away.

He is not wrong, who might think that a brother might hurt her sister, that too in this manner?

"Sorry" he whispered. "I should have"

I turned towards him and hugged him. "It hurts, Robert. He- he really?"

He got away and took my face in his hands. "Yes, I know it's hard. But... you will get over it"

I nodded. I... I don't know what to do or who to trust anymore. 

It has been a day and his operation was completed a few hours ago. I am not gonna meet him, I don't want to.

But the nurse came to me. "Alex's sister?"

"Yes" 

"He wants to meet you"

Hesitantly, I shared a glance with Robert. He has also been here the whole time. He nodded and then I went inside.

I closed the door behind me and moved towards him. His eyes were almost closed, but he was awake.

"Hailey..." he whispered. "I am sorry"

"Sorry? You, you-- damn, leave it"  I sighed irritated. 

"I know Hailey and I-I am sorry! I was blind. I didn't know what I was doing. I-I will improve. Please, one chance"

I left the ward.

One chance, Alex? You totally broke me.

After I went out, I saw Robert was still there. "Hey" he stood up.

"Hi"

"What did he say?"

"That... that he needs one more chance and that he'll improve..."

He sighed. "What will you do?"

"I don't know..."

"I have news" he said and I looked at him. "Your mom, she is regaining consciousness. Go and meet her. Come with me" 

My heart leaped with joy hearing his words and nodding, I went with him to the hospital.

I went to her ward and finally, I was meeting her when she was alright.
