Chapter 8
When Knox regained consciousness at home, he heard anxious discussions around him.]
Seeing him awake, his mother, who had been keeping vigil by his bedside, urgently said:]
“Knox, you were actually going to kill yourself over that cheap woman? What about your father and me if you died? What about my precious grandson?“]]
Knox was puzzled:[]
“Grandson? Ruby said she would raise the child alone. What does it have to do with me??“]
His mother looked exasperated and turned to her husband for help.[]
Knox’s father paused before speaking:
“Son, my grandson is already so big. I just discussed with Ruby’s father–we’ll arrange your wedding with Ruby as soon as possible. You two should go get your marriage license in the next couple of days. “0
Hearing this, Knox anxiously sat up in bed, glaring angrily at Ruby, who had been quietly listening.[
“Ruby, say something! You were Aria’s best friend–how could you marry me? Don’t forget, you cried and asked for my comfort, then climbed into my bed!“]

“When you got pregnant, you said you didn’t want an abortion because it might harm your body. You planned to hide it from Aria and raise the child alone—that’s what I agreed to. And now you want to take her place?!“[]
in front of the elders, Ruby held the child and began to stammer through her tears.[]
“I didn’t… it wasn’t me who initiated that night.“]]
The moment Ruby finished speaking, there was a loud slap.[]
Ruby’s father had struck Knox across the face in fury.[]
“You animal! You tricked my daughter into having a child, and now you won’t take responsibility!“[]
Knox’s cheek stung fiercely as he glared darkly at everyone.[]
“I don’t care how wild you young people play around. You WILL marry my daughter! Otherwise, I have ways to ruin your family’s reputation!“]
Seeing Ruby’s father’s anger, Knox’s parents tried to calm him and led him away.[]
After the elders left, Knox turned to Ruby in fury.
Ruby took a deep breath, holding the child, and began her explanation:[]
“Knox, the truth is, I’ve loved you for years, just like Aria, Her family background is impressive, and I knew I couldn’t compete. So I had to find ways to get close to her, just to get close to you.“[]
