Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Millions reptiles in the zoo

And from what Ella could surmise, she was screaming occasionally after she passed out. That caused panic in the kidnappers because they were worried that she would die.

And later, when some of them had gone to deal with Ruby...

’’With my hands tied, I could not do much when they approached. But before they could do anything, there were screams from your side of the room.’’

’’Did they hit me?" That would explain why she woke up sore.

’’The person screaming was not you. It was them.’’

"_"

After giving it a thought, Ella barely remembered anything between being unconscious and waking up in the Eve Mansion. But judging by the screams, the timing, and the fact that she was still alive, Adrian must’ve gotten there in time.

’’Hearing the noises, the people who had come to my room kicked me along with the chair and I... lost consciousness. After that, I woke up here.’’

"What about Ronan? Are you close to him?"

Ruby frowned, ’’He is a stranger.’’

From her tone, Ella could tell that he was not necessarily a stranger. But the current status of her friendship with Ruby was still fragile so she did not dare to push her boundaries.

The fact that Ruby was willing to see her face and sit to talk to her was already good enough.

’’That day... those people approached you near the hospital? Why did you go to the hospital, Ruby?" She had tried to hold back on this question for a while now but eventually, she had to bring it up.

"I wasn’t feeling well,’’ Ruby responded without batting an eyelid.

"When I brought you to my dorm that day... did something happen when you went back?"

Ruby shook her head, "Nothing."

Ella lowered her voice and spoke quietly, "You sure?"

Ruby paused for a beat, "Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?"

Ella’s heart clenched. That was all the answer she needed

She had hoped she would be wrong but Ruby’s situation in her family was just as worse as it had been in her previous life.

Ella did not push the topic any further, ’’I have made arrangements for you. They will drop you at your place safely around 8 pm."

As she turned to leave, Ella’s fingers were tightly curled. In this life, she would never let history repeat itself again. At any cost, she would help Ruby break out of that toxic household.

But she knew that now was not the time. No matter how much urgency she felt, she could not rush this matter.

Moreover, the misunderstandings between her and Ruby were still there.

And at the end of the day, Ella did not want to be impulsive and risk hurting Ruby in the process.

"Wait!"

Ella had just reached the door when Ruby’s voice rang from behind.

’’That day... I did not misunderstand you.’’

Ella’s turned towards her.

’’I mean I don’t believe the rumours in the university.’’

Ella blinked. Did Ruby think that she would be afraid of the rumours?

Ruby misunderstood her silence and took a step towards her, ’’Trust me, I did not judge you. I won’t judge you over what you do. I just... felt bad that you had the need to lie to me about having a man...’’

Ella was stunned for a brief moment before she walked up to Ruby and hugged her, ’’It’s my fault.’’

She pulled back and glanced at Ruby, ’’It’s not that I don’t want to be honest with you. A lot has happened in these few years and I don’t want to scare you.’’

Ruby frowned, "Ella...’’
