While Caleb was struggling with his risky plan, Ruby went to the hospital to visit Aaron.

He was in a state of mental crisis, constantly blaming himself for not realizing John’s true nature.

Aaron believed that if he had listened to Mack and Robert sooner, the tragedy might not have happened.

Ruby walked in and gently sat down by the hospital bed.

Seeing Aaron silent and red-eyed, she gently said: “Don’t blame yourself. This is not your responsibility.” Aaron shook his head, tears falling. He choked up and admitted that he felt like he had helped push things this far.

Ruby took his hand, squeezed it tightly, and affirmed: “You are not alone. I am here, and I believe everything will be okay.” Those warm words were like a soothing medicine. Aaron sobbed, but for the first time in many days, his eyes flashed with hope.

The bond between Ruby and Aaron, already built from their heartfelt conversations, is now even stronger. In the gloomy atmosphere of the hospital, their friendship is like a small light that lights up the night.

But outside, tragedy still lurks. Ruby doesn’t know that Caleb is risking his life to protect her, and Aaron doesn’t understand that his torment is just beginning. Tonight’s episode turns the hospital into a counterpoint to the world outside: a place where friendships shine, but also a place where a bigger storm is brewing.
