Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 919

Neil gently held Ruby’s hand, his words flowing softly and continuously. Chloe had never seen him speak so much before. A wave of sadness washed over her for a moment.

“Dad…” Chloe called out softly, her voice barely above a whisper. Neil turned his head, surprise etched on his face, and Chloe saw the tears shimmering in his eyes.

Standing up, Neil said, “Talk to your mom. She’d love to hear your voice the most.” He turned away, quickly wiping a tear from the corner of his eye, and left the room.

Chloe settled into the chair Neil had just vacated. “Mom, I’m here to see you,” she said, looking at Ruby, who lay still on the bed. With the oxygen mask on, she appeared just like she always did, as if she were only taking a nap.

“You were my hero growing up. I never imagined you were my real mom. Since I found out, I’ve rarely called you that—not because of any bitterness, but because I’m so incredibly happy. It felt like life was being too generous, like it was too good to be true, and I was scared that my happiness would suddenly be yanked away.”

Chloe’s voice trembled with emotion. “I never thought it would really be like this. Fate always seems to strike when I’m at my happiest.”

She clutched Ruby’s hand tightly. “Mom, don’t leave me. I want to live with you. I want to help the kids at the orphanage with you. I want to go to Africa and build schools with you…”

Soon, the doctors came in. After examining Ruby, they deemed it a miracle. But no one dared to relax. After several checks, they confirmed Ruby was temporarily out of danger, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ruby was moved to a regular room.

Everyone put on a cheerful face, but there was still a heaviness in their hearts. Dr. Goodman said it was sheer luck, a blessing. Ruby had come back from the brink unscathed. But if it happened again, they might not be so fortunate.

Neil spent every day discussing Ruby’s future care—like sticking to a bland diet, avoiding alcohol, and keeping her emotions steady, among other things.
