As Steve Burton approached the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned back, walking to the bedside. Staring at the red, teary eyes of Ruby Gregory, he clenched his teeth and sat down by the bed.
He hadn't spoken yet, but his expression had already become somewhat unnatural: "Alright, don't cry anymore."
After Steve said this, a hint of red appeared on his fair and handsome face. He lowered his head slightly, licked his lips, and found that the woman beside him was still immersed in tears, showing no reaction. Steve's throat tightened, and he rubbed his forehead with his fingers. Turning his head, he stared at Ruby for a moment, then reached out to touch her face, gently wiping away her rolling tears.
Ruby's body stiffened for a moment but did not stop crying.
Steve did not speak, but silently continued to help Ruby wipe her tears away.
