To the Love of My Life

Chapter 584: Chapter 584: Wait a little longer before giving up (24)

Although Ruby said she would take a taxi home, she eventually got into Steve’s car without insistence, and he drove her back to the Gregorys’ house.

Throughout the journey, Steve seemed to be in a good mood, constantly looking at Ruby through the rearview mirror. He even deliberately turned on the car radio, allowing the gentle music to fill the vehicle.

Steve wasn’t driving too fast, and his mind was filled with thoughts of tonight’s events with Ruby.

Everything that happened tonight was so sudden, giving him no time to prepare. There were many details he hadn’t fully digested. As he drove, he slowly replayed every moment, and the more he thought about it, the bigger his smile grew, even laughing softly when he thought about Ruby pointing at him and telling the doctor that he was the one seeking treatment.

After his joyful thoughts, Steve suddenly remembered that Ruby had originally told him she was sick with a cold and needed to go to the hospital for some medicine, yet in the end, she only paid attention to his leg injury.

Could it be… A bold guess appeared in Steve’s heart: Was Ruby’s visit to the hospital tonight actually for the sake of his leg injury?

This speculation made Steve’s heart race even faster.

He felt that his guess was correct, but he was not completely sure.

Perhaps it was because he loved her so deeply and she didn’t reciprocate fully, that in the end, he lost all his confidence.

Steve glanced at Ruby sitting in the passenger seat, likely feeling drowsy due to the late hour, her eyelids almost drooping shut.

After hesitating for a moment, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you feeling better from your cold?”

At the time, Ruby’s excuse about having a cold was just something she randomly spoke. Pregnant people are naturally sleepy, and as she was sitting in the car with warm air blowing on her, she felt groggy. Suddenly hearing Steve’s question, her mind didn’t catch up immediately, and she stared blankly before responding, “What cold?”

So the cold was just an excuse she came up with… Steve seemed to hear the joyful sound from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes lit up: “Ruby, did you bring me to the hospital because of the wound on my leg?”

Upon hearing these words, Ruby realized the intention behind Steve asking if her “cold was better.”

Caught off guard by his direct confrontation, her cheeks turned red. She quickly explained, “When I returned today, I ran into Madeleine who told me that you hurt your leg a few days ago and hadn’t gone to the hospital. She said it was serious, so I lied to get you to the hospital.”

When Steve first guessed this, he was already overjoyed. When he asked for confirmation and saw her puzzled look, he knew his guess was right, and his heart filled with indescribable joy. But now, hearing her confirm his suspicion sent him from elation to ecstasy, leaving him speechless with excitement.

After Ruby finished her explanation, she looked at Steve and suddenly recalled how every time she did something for him in the past, not only would he not appreciate it, but he would also get very angry, thinking she had ulterior motives for her actions.
