Steve Burton personally sent the doctor downstairs, who was brought by
Russell Henris in his car, so naturally, it was Russell who drove him back. Russell pressed the elevator button, and before the elevator door opened, he said “Goodbye” to Steve, who was standing by the door.
As the family doctor of the Henris family, the doctor recognized Steve. Before stepping into the elevator, he seed to rember sothing and advised Steve, “Miss Gregory’s resistance is a bit weak, it’s best to take so vitamins regularly to improve her resistance but she should still exercise more.” Steve nodded, not saying anything.
Russell and the doctor entered the elevator, and the surroundings beca tranquil.
Steve closed the door and slowly walked back to the room, stood in front of the French windows in the living room, and saw an azure swimming pool. The lights inside the house shone on the blue water, reflecting fragnts of light.
His apartnt was on the 32nd floor, from where he could see the bustling city lights far away, which were already sparse and scattered.
Steve stood there for a while, composed himself, then turned around and slowly walked toward the master bedroom upstairs.
The bedroom was quiet, and the antipyretic Ruby Gregory received contained sleeping ingredients, causing her to change from unconscious to deep sleep. Steve sat on the edge of the bed, and his slender fingers softly touched Ruby’s face.
On the lavish bedroom wall, a European-style clock kept making its rounds as the seconds ticked by without pause, and the color outside the window gradually turned white.
Steve finally withdrew his slightly stiff arm, pulled the covers up for Ruby, and left the bedroom.
Ruby slept quite heavily this ti and only woke up at noon.
North-facing Steve’s bedroom had bright sunlight coming through the wide windows, making it hard for Ruby to open her eyes.
Raising her hand to shield the light, Ruby realized she was in a strange environnt. Expensive items adorned the bedroom, paintings on the wall were done by famous artists, and each was worth a fortune. In the end, Ruby was attracted to a row of porcelain dolls.
There were six porcelain dolls in total, made by her and Madeleine when they were in middle school handcrafting class, featuring themselves, Steve, Russell, Edward Woods, Howard Coleman, and Madeleine.
It was only then that Ruby suddenly realized she was in Steve’s bedroom.
After talking to her father on the phone last night, she squatted on the cold floor, intending to go ho when regaining strength, but sohow lost consciousness later.
Now that she had woken up, she was in Steve’s bed – hadn’t the man left last night? When did he return?
Ruby turned her head with suspicion and saw the won’s clothes prepared on the bedside table. Checking the size, they were indeed hers..
