Steve Burton couldn't help but increase his strength, trying to use pain to provoke her response. However, she just tightly closed her eyes, silently enduring it. She didn't even give him a sigh of pain or a frown.
He thought about her warm smile and her spoiled behavior when she reunited with Howard Coleman, Rusell Henris, Madeleine, and Edward Woods. Yet, when facing him, it was either respectfully Mr. Burton or cautiously pleasing him.
No matter how harshly he treated her or how indifferent he was, she always acted so calmly as if nothing had happened, not even bothering to give him the basic annoyance or tears.
Just like now, he had blocked her way to divert her thoughts and pain. He tried desperately to make her hurt, but she just maintained her silent indifference, with no change in her expression.
This numb Ruby Gregory severely stimulated Steve Burton, making him even more frantically treat her.
