บท 171: Chapter 171: Crying herself into unconsciousness (17)

Steve Burton placed the water glass on the bedside table, took out the medicine prescribed by the doctor according to the dosage, and spoke faintly to Ruby Gregory lying on the hospital bed, "Take the medicine first."

Ever since Ruby had fallen and injured herself and been picked up by Steve, she had kept her eyes closed, even when she insisted she didn't want to be hospitalized, just to avoid looking at him.

Now that he had suddenly asked her to take the medicine, Ruby's heart raced. Her hand hidden under the covers, she subconsciously gripped the bedsheet beneath her.

Steve stared straight at the unresponsive Ruby, knowing she wasn't asleep, just unwilling to look at him.

Lowering his eyes, Steve glanced at the medicine in his hand, took two steps forward, and reached out to nudge Ruby.

Ruby's eyelashes trembled violently at the touch, and her body shivered.

"Take the medicine." The man's words were concise and cold this time.
