Bab 580: Chapter 580: Wait a little longer before giving up (20)

Steve Burton felt a lump in his throat. He stared straight at the road ahead, swallowed hard, and glanced at Ruby Gregory sitting beside him before asking, "Did you... make an appointment with... someone?"

Actually, he wanted to ask if she had made an appointment with Edric Reat, but just thinking of those three words made his heart ache, let alone saying them aloud.

"No." Ruby Gregory shook her head, her gaze lowered for a moment, glancing at Steve Burton's left leg and then said, "I don't feel well, like I'm about to catch a cold. I've met a lot of people during the Chinese New Year, and I want to avoid getting anyone else sick, so I thought I'd get some medicine from the hospital."

Steve Burton's grip on the steering wheel trembled, the car skidded slightly, but it was just a brief moment before everything returned to normal.
