Kapitel 577: Chapter 577: Wait a little longer before giving up (17)

After Steve Burton asked the question, he didn't wait for Ruby Gregory to answer and took a lighter used by the Burtons for smoking from under the tea table and handed it to her.

Ruby accepted it and said "Thank you" again, still thinking in her mind how to broach the subject of asking Steve to go to the hospital.

The living room fell silent as Steve stared at Ruby for a long time before finally turning his gaze away. If he could, he would have liked to stand here with her, forever. But he knew she had to return to the Gregorys. Wanting to spend more time with her, he cleared his throat and asked, "Do you want me to take you home?"

Ruby moved her lips but didn't respond.

Steve put the wax candles he held on the tea table, then took the candles and lighter from Ruby's hands and said, "Let's go."

With that, he walked to the foyer area first and put on the other shoe.
