You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 246

“That’s exactly what you guessed. Ben brought it up at dinner, and I’d bet anything Mr. Martin is already home grilling Ms. Klotz about it.”

Patricia was out in the garden, taking a slow walk after dinner to help digest. Oliver trailed behind her, not too close, just enough to give her space for her phone call.

“So, what do we do next?” he asked quietly.

“We need to find out when they’re meeting. Time for Nina to step in,” Patricia replied, ending her call. She sent a message for Jackson to come find her.

As she strolled down the smooth, sun-warmed stone path, her voice was calm. “Make sure Nina gets Ruby’s medical records. The ones from the hospital.”

“You want Nina to be the one to break the news about Ruby’s leg?”

Patricia nodded. “Exactly.”

Oliver hesitated. “I just worry Nina won’t stick to the plan. She’s still hung up on Theo after everything he’s put her through. She even moved in with him. Honestly, if you handed her brain to Theo’s dog, the dog wouldn’t want it.”

Patricia didn’t even blink. “She’ll do it.”

As long as Theo still carried a torch for his so-called ‘one and only,’ Nina would never go soft.

She wanted Theo for herself—completely.

That night, it was already ten thirty and Theo hadn’t come home. Nina was sitting alone in the living room, phone in hand, just about to call him when the housekeeper walked over with a package.

“Miss, this just arrived for you.”

Nina set her phone down, barely paying attention, and tore open the envelope. As she reached inside, a photo slipped out and fluttered to the floor.

She bent over and picked it up. The picture was blurry, like something from a security camera. Only then did she realize who it was.

Next, she pulled out a medical report.

Name: Ruby

Diagnosis: Right leg amputation
