Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Syrup, Candy, Sugar (9)
Ruby’s expression remained the same since leaving the hospital, never changing in the slightest.
Steve noticed that Ruby’s body, in his arms, began to tremble more and more violently.
Although Steve really didn’t want to believe that there was a problem with the child in Ruby’s belly, seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but think in that direction. Then, his arms holding her also started to shiver.
The two of them trembled as they walked to the car. With great effort, Steve managed to open the car door and carefully helped Ruby get in. After closing the door, he hurried into the car as well.
He looked at her still unblinking dazed expression and racked his brains for comforting words. However, he found himself at a loss for words. After much thought, Steve stiffly said, “Ruby, don’t be too sad.”
Ruby did not respond, but her eyes turned red.
A deep pain filled Steve’s heart. He looked around anxiously and picked up a tissue from the side. Before he could take it out, Ruby’s tears started falling like rain.
Steve felt as if his breathing hurt as well. As he helped her wipe her tears, he mustered up the strength to say, “Ruby, you’re still young. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ruby glanced at Steve, and her tears fell even harder.
Steve fumbled around, and finally, it struck him that he seemed to be short-circuiting. He should be trying to call the best doctor in the world to see if they could help Ruby. So, he hurriedly picked up his phone, “Ruby, don’t worry, I’m calling to get a doctor for you now.”
With that, Steve dialed Rusell’s number.
Just as the phone started ringing, Ruby suddenly reached out, snatched Steve’s phone, and hung up. She turned to look at Steve, and before she could speak, she burst into tears. After crying for quite some time, she managed to say in between her sobs, “I’m not a pig…”
Her words were completely baffling and almost laughable, but Steve couldn’t find any humor in Ruby’s crying. He felt as if his insides were being torn apart. He could only use a tissue to wipe Ruby’s tears while clumsily trying to comfort her, despite not understanding the meaning of her words, “Yes, yes, Ruby is not a pig. How could Ruby be a pig… ”
When Ruby called herself a pig, she didn’t break down too much. But the moment she heard the word pig from Steve’s mouth, she instantly imagined herself as a pig, giving birth to three piglets, and cried even more fiercely.
Why did her crying get worse the more he tried to console her?
Steve felt like crying along with Ruby. In the end, having no other choice, he pulled her into his arms and patted her back, “Alright, don’t cry anymore, it’s okay. If you keep crying, you won’t look good.”
Ruby leaned her head against Steve’s chest, crying with snot and tears, looking absolutely miserable.
