Ruby's POV
I stopped fighting against his grip, my eyes widening in disbelief.
"Jimmy? What are you doing here?"
His expression grew serious as he met my gaze. "I came here for you."
For me? That explanation only deepened my confusion.
"Listen, after I saw you at that summit, your case completely consumed my thoughts. It was unlike anything I'd encountered before - fascinating and far too important to dismiss. So I approached Alpha Michael with my own theory about your condition."
My eyebrows shot up in surprise.
Jimmy actually went to Michael with this?
That must have been a disaster.
"What was his reaction?" I pressed.
"He destroyed me completely!" Jimmy's features contorted with a mixture of anger and pain. "He screamed that I was the most incompetent student in the entire medical program, claimed I'd been poisoned by ridiculous theories, and suggested I should quit to become a dishwasher since that would better suit my intellectual capacity."
