Chapter 1410: Helping Ruby Start A New Life

-----

(Sylphy's POV)

After what happened with Ruby's father, we made our way through the city, trying to make her feel better and calm her down. Surprisingly, she calmed down very quickly, despite having been crying a minute ago.

"I'm fine, thank you," she sighed. "I've dealt with this so many times already that… Ah, I've grown a bit dull to this. I cried yeah but that's about it…"

"Are you sure?" I wondered. "Really?"

"Yes, yes, don't worry," she nodded, smiling a bit. "Thanks for helping me out… I-I… It's complicated…"

"Yeah, it sure is," said Celeste. "I'm fairly sure you're stronger than your father. You could have kicked his ass, why did you let him hit you?"

"Because it's… I don't know, I just don't feel strong when he starts saying those things…" sighed Ruby. "It's pathetic, right?"

"Hmm… I don't know about that, but I think it shouldn't matter anymore, your dad won't be living with you again!" said Celica.
