Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Neil tightened his grip on Dr. Cooper's arm. "I can't let you talk like that. I won't let anything happen to her. She has to be okay, no matter what it takes."

Neil was visibly distressed. The last time Ruby was in such a critical state was when she was having Chloe. She had an amniotic fluid embolism and was at death's door, but after several blood transfusions, she miraculously pulled through.

Back then, the doctors called it a one-in-a-million miracle. But that incident unveiled another issue-Ruby had a tiny, pea-sized brain tumor nestled deep in a highly sensitive area, completely entwined with her nerves, making surgery out of the question.noveldrama

Neil was beside himself with worry, reaching out to the world's top neurology experts and undergoing the most cutting-edge genetic screenings. The consensus was a likely genetic mutation, suggesting the tumor was congenital.

Neil searched globally for similar cases and discovered a few dozen people like Ruby. These tumors often went unnoticed until they surged in growth after age thirty. Ninety percent of those affected died from ruptures and severe brain hemorrhages. Two cases ended in a vegetative state, with the individuals passing away after a few months. Only one person, Marian from Switzerland, lived a long life, passing peacefully at ninety-two, despite having the same type of tumor.

This gave Neil a glimmer of hope. Switzerland became a symbol of promise for him. He moved the Shaw family business overseas, settling in Switzerland and even becoming neighbors with Marian's family, hoping to uncover any lifestyle secrets that might keep the tumor at bay.

Their trip back to the U.S. was meant to be short, with plans to return to Switzerland the following month. But then, without warning, Ruby suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage and fell into a deep coma, leaving Neil in shock.

Dr. Cooper spoke again, "We're doing everything we can to save her, but it's incredibly risky. The bleeding has stopped for now, but it could start again anytime. If it does, even a miracle won't help. The most important thing is to get her to wake up. The longer she's in a coma, the less likely she is to wake up. Talk to her, try to bring her back."

In the days that followed, Chloe visited the hospital daily. Ruby remained unconscious. It had been a whole week, and each day felt like torture for the Shaw family.

Dr. Cooper had warned them that every passing moment reduced the chances of recovery, turning each second into sheer agony. The four Shaw brothers had cleared their schedules, staying by Ruby's side around the clock. Chloe, too, stayed as much as she could, only leaving the hospital when she was forced to go home at night.

Cassie was there every day too.

One evening, Chloe arrived at the hospital again. Inside the room, Neil was there alone, his back to the

door, holding Ruby's hand. "Rubet

you can't leave me alone. We've found our daughter. This is the happiest time of our lives. How can you leave now?"

"Chloe hasn't been eating properly for days, staying here all the time. She's lost so much weight, and she's pregnant. Can you bear to see her worry like this?"

"You said you wanted to visit South Africa to see how the school was coming along. When you wake up, I'll go with you, okay?"
