To the Love of My Life

Steve Burton became increasingly gentle and caring towards her.

This was a treatment that Ruby Gregory had never received before.

The strange sensation inside her suddenly exploded and filled her entire body, making her completely weak and feeble.

However, she found that she didn’t seem to dislike this feeling at all. Instead, she felt an indescribable and indefinable sweetness in her heart.

There were still two days left until Ruby Gregory was discharged from the hospital. Being alone with her in a room, Steve Burton was doing his best to suppress his desires for her.

Being a normal man, he wished he could stick to her day and night. Suddenly, the prelude was played, and he became unreserved during these two days.

Because Ruby Gregory took a painkiller, she became much more submissive. She no longer stiffened like a stone whenever he touched her and even her facial expression seemed like she was being escorted to the execution grounds. Therefore, Steve Burton treated her more tenderly upon each intimate encounter, making him feel better every time it ended.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the afternoon of the 10th, the time for her to be discharged.

Only Howard Coleman, Rusell Henris, and Edward Woods visited her during her stay in the hospital. Even then, every time they came, they brought her some tonics, fruits, and flower baskets.

Ruby Gregory and Steve Burton could not possibly finish all of those gifts, and they occupied more than half of the corner of the ward.

She never told the Gregorys about the most dangerous incident she encountered. Naturally, she wouldn’t tell them now that she had fully recovered. As a result, she didn’t take those tonics and fruits back home, instead giving them to the nurses on her floor before leaving the hospital.

The scabs from her injuries had fallen off, leaving patches of tender, pink flesh. The hospital provided her with a scar-removal ointment, and she would be as good as new after a while.

Ruby Gregory and Steve Burton left the building together. As he went to pay the hospital bills, she stood nearby, waiting.

There were quite a few people in line. Ruby Gregory, feeling bored, started glancing around aimlessly in the hall.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the hall, looking haggard and travel-weary, as if they had just rushed back from afar. He was still holding a suitcase and asking a nurse something with a smile on his face.

Ruby Gregory’s gaze froze for a moment.

At this moment, Steve Burton had already paid and approached her. He followed her gaze and saw what she was looking at. He frowned at the sight, but then heard Ruby Gregory’s melodious voice, “Are we all set?”

Steve Burton looked back at her and nodded, “Let’s go.”

Ruby Gregory hummed in affirmation, and nonchalantly walked towards the entrance with Steve Burton by her side.

Just then, the familiar figure had finished speaking with the nurse, thanked her politely, turned around, and walked straight towards Ruby Gregory and Steve Burton.

Upon seeing Ruby, the man’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. However, his expression returned to normal almost immediately, and his footsteps didn’t falter at all.
