Chapter 354: 354: This Man is Too Shameless (4)

She had been pestering him all day yesterday to be discharged from the hospital. It seemed like he was teasing her, not allowing her to leave. Could it be that he was afraid that she would go home, sleep and scratch the scabs on her body, leaving scars?

Ruby was stunned by her own speculation, staring straight at Steve without blinking.

Steve saw Ruby staring at him for a long time without any reaction, so he shook the small paper bag in front of her again.

Ruby abruptly snapped back to reality and realized that she had been staring blankly at Steve. Her face turned a faint shade of red and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, noticing the small paper bag in Steve’s hand. To hide her embarrassment, she pointed to the paper bag and asked, “What’s in here?”

Steve stuffed the paper bag into Ruby’s arms: “Remember to take it on time every day.”

Ruby suspiciously opened the paper bag and saw a small white bottle inside. Upon picking it up and seeing that it was vitamins, she glanced at Steve with a puzzled look.

Steve calmly walked over to the sofa, sat down, and seemed to notice Ruby’s confusion. As he opened his laptop, he said, “It’s for boosting your immune system, so you won’t catch a cold or fever from the slightest breeze.”

Ruby didn’t speak, just lowered her eyes and looked at the small white bottle in her hand for a while, then clenched it tightly. The small pill bottle filled her palm and her heart was also filled with feelings.

All day, Ruby completely forgot about the idea of leaving the hospital. Her mind was filled with what the nurse had told her and her own speculations.?

After lunch, Ruby had no desire to sleep, but in order to prove her guess, she pretended to be sound asleep in her hospital bed.

After a while, she reached out and scratched at one of the wounds on her body.

She had barely scratched her scab twice when she felt someone sitting beside her and her wrist being grabbed.

The grip was gentle, so gentle that she couldn’t believe it was Steve, but the elegant scent from the man kept entering her nostrils, making her believe it was indeed him.

It was really as she had guessed – Steve wanted her to stay in the hospital until all her scabs fell off naturally.

When the nurse had told her all this in the morning, she had been deeply shocked, but now, as she experienced it firsthand, she discovered that the shock was too much for her to bear.

Ruby lay straight on the bed, feeling her heartbeat getting faster and faster.

His hand was warm, holding her wrist and never letting go. It was a strange sensation that came from her palm and drilled into the depths of her heart.

After what felt like an eternity, just as Ruby was gradually falling asleep, she felt a hand gently caressing her cheek. The touch was gentle, with a hint of tenderness.

Ruby’s sleepiness immediately vanished and her heart, which had finally calmed down, started racing faster than before.

In her heart, a thought she had never had, and never dared to have, emerged – Steve actually cared about her.
