Nancy wanted to see Ruby, and Godfery naturally let her into the room.
So Thomas's obstruction was futile as Godfery stepped forward, blocking Thomas.
Nancy pushed open Ruby's bedroom door.
Thomas wasn't good at lying, and his series of reactions today seemed too strange, clearly showing he didn't want Nancy to see Ruby.
Although Thomas's protection of Ruby would definitely not harm her, Nancy still needed to see for herself to feel assured.
The bedroom door was pushed open.
Nancy saw Ruby lying on the bed, looking even paler than last time, perhaps she had a fever again, her eyes were red.
Upon seeing Nancy, Ruby's eyes reddened even more: "Miss Allen..."
Ruby was about to speak but was interrupted by Thomas, who squeezed forward: "Sister, please don't trouble madam. For so many years, we've relied on each other as siblings. Brother just wants you to be well."
Thomas looked at Ruby, although he was admonishing her as a brother, his tone carried a hint of pleading.
