Chapter 158 158: I Won’t Agree To Divorce Him

"Dr. Irish, really care about her, but she…" Emery also looked up at Eric.

Eric looked embarrassed and bowed his head.

"Everything will pass, and feelings can't be supported by one side alone." Irish did not know what to say, saying only some ambiguously fluffy words.

But this seemed to have done the trick, and Eric came forward sincerely, "Thank you, Dr. Irish." Emery also came forward, as if they were suffering from the same thing, and choked out, "Thank you for your comfort. I sincerely hope that you will end up with Mr. Dover."

Irish suddenly stood still.

Eric and Emery said goodbye to her and left the hospital.

At the corner of the ward, Ruby clenched her fist after seeing the scene unfold, and her eyes were cold.

****

The environment in the ward was very pleasant.

When Irish pushed open the door, there was a lot of sunlight pouring through the window. Ruby lay in bed, her face turned to the window, and the sun fell on her cheek. She was looking a little pale.

Before coming, Irish had asked Ruby's doctor about her treatment. Only then did she know that her heart condition was not looking good. Although it was no longer a big problem, the doctor's suggestion was that she stay in hospital for observation.

Approaching her, Irish found that she seemed to have cried, and her eyes were red and swollen.

Hearing movement, Ruby turned her head and saw Irish without being surprised. Instead, she turned her head to the other side again, saying with a cold tone, "I don't want to see you."

Irish was not angry, and her tone was calm, "Believe me, I feel the same."

Ruby sat up, breathing quickly, "Then why did you come here? Just to check if I'm dead yet? Well, you see, I'm still alive."

"Are you this hysterical in front of Eric, Emery or Joseph?" Irish's mood suddenly calmed down.

Ruby had bitten her lips until they lost their color. "I would have talked to you calmly, but you are so horrible," she said. "I don't care how you look at me. I don't even care if you use Joseph to make me angry. I keep telling myself that it's because you have anger in your heart. I can understand that, but you can't..."

She suddenly stopped.

"I can't do what?" Irish looked at her quietly.

Ruby's lip shuddered, she stared at her for a while and then said ruthlessly, "Joseph is going to divorce me. Irish, are you not behind this, urging him to divorce me?"

This sentence made Irish stop in her tracks.

She never imagined that Joseph would file for divorce in such a quick and direct manner.

"No way." Ruby stared at her, saying, "I won't agree to divorce him, absolutely not!"

Irish somehow became a little uneasy, and until that point, she was not sure why she had come to see Ruby, but it became very clear when she learned that Joseph had filed for a divorce. It was this little surprise that made her uneasy. If she hadn't heard this, she would have said, "I came to watch you feel sorry for yourself," but now, after a few flips of her stomach, she swallowed the words.

"Irish, if you don't let me feel better, I won't let you feel better." Ruby clenched her fists. "Moreover, what justification do you have to be like this to me?" You hate my mother because she took my father away from you. Once Joseph and I are divorced, how are you different from my mother?"

A sadness suddenly rose in Irish's heart.

Ruby's last words lingered in her mind.

Two days later, a video came out online. It was quickly broadcast on all the major networks, and then there were various other media outlets reporting it. It was not known who originally uploaded it, but it completely reversed the recent allegations against Joseph.

The content of the video was clear.

A woman was smashing a car in public.

Originally, it was a simple video. The content wouldn't raise people's attention. However, when the video was analyzed, it became clear that the crazy woman smashing the car was the same woman alleged to be Joseph's secret lover. The truth was, they were never actually lovers. According to the video, she had been fascinated with Joseph since joining the Runestone Group, but Joseph always ignored her. So she vented her anger onto the car.

The video spread like wildfire, burning intensely.

In gossip entertainment, a juicy rumor is only ever dispelled when another rumor comes to light. This video illustrated the concept. For a moment, everyone's eyes were all shifted, and the woman's insane behavior in the video was widely scrutinized and laughed at. As a result, Joseph's name was cleared, and he was again considered a good man.

Some internet sleuths found out the identity of the woman in the video. She was a psychiatrist, serving as the psychological consultant of the Runestone Group.

Irish barely dared to leave her house, and if she had to go out to eat, she wore glasses and a hat. For a time, she had to act like a star to escape the paparazzi. But others online questioned the female's identity, and the two sides started an unprecedented war.

Sitting in the car, Irish received a call from Joseph, and before he could speak, she said, "I've returned my ticket. I won't go to Uyuni."

By the end of his speech, she stopped talking and turned her phone off, even though Mr. Dover tried calling again and again.

While driving, Fredrick turned the wheel and pulled the car slowly over the side of the road. Irish was immersed in her own world, and it wasn't until Fredrick called her name that she found out that the car had stopped. Looking around, the look in her eyes changed from confusion to clarity, sighing softly, "We're not at home yet."

"I know." Fredrick simply put out the fire and looked at her sideways. "Can't you say something to me after the whole night? You know Cassie worries about you, and so do I. But you haven't said anything to us in days, don't you know we've been concerned?" Fredrick had wanted to find Irish alone, but she had been avoiding that. Then this video incident fell directly on her head. All the media focused on her, and she was known to the outside world as "the least ashamed lover." Most people didn't care, but it was bad for her reputation. Even those who can be calm all the time cannot always hold back their feelings, including Fredrick, who was in love with Irish.
