To the Love of My Life

Ruby Gregory pondered for a while and decided to go to Steve Burton’s apartment to wait for him to come home.

–

“Uncle Gregory fainted?” Edward Woods’ remarks, although simple, implied many issues. But Steve Burton was only focused on the problem of Maxwell Gregory fainting and being hospitalized.

As soon as he finished cross-questioning Edward Woods, he remembered the pitiful figure of Ruby Gregory taking care of her father in the hospital. Without a second thought, he opened the drawer of his desk, randomly picked up a car key, and went off towards the door.

“Bro, where are you going?” Edward Woods asked knowingly.

Steve Burton didn’t say a word as he briskly passed by Edward Woods.

Feeling elatedly cheeky, Edward Woods leaned on the railing of the second floor watching Steve Burton quickly descend the stairs. He teased, “Bro, I thought you were always calm and composed? How come hearing about Uncle Gregory’s life being in danger makes you rushed as if it were your own father’s illness?”

Steve Burton didn’t miss the sarcasm in Edward Woods’ voice. He raised his hand, pointed at Edward Woods without uttering a word, and moved towards the foyer to change shoes.

As Steve Burton hastily changed his shoes and opened the door, he saw Ruby Gregory exiting from the elevator opposite to him.

–

After a while, Edward Woods walked downstairs leisurely. As he reached the first floor, he saw Steve Burton still standing at the entrance. Edward Woods frowned, “Bro, why haven’t you left yet?”

Steve Burton stood with his back towards him, not reacting at all.

Walking past Burton, Edward Woods saw Ruby Gregory standing outside the door. He cheerily waved at her, “Hey, Ruby, you’re here. Bro was just about to…”

Edward Woods was interrupted by a stern glare from Steve Burton. Startled, he swallowed the rest of his sentence. He then awkwardly laughed out loud, hastily excused himself, passed by Steve Burton and made a quick escape in the elevator after bidding Ruby goodbye.

The elevator went down with a ding, leaving the entire corridor in silence.

Steve Burton stared at Ruby Gregory for a while, then stepped aside and took off his half-worn shoes. He went back to his room.

Ruby Gregory took a deep breath and entered the apartment. She first changed into slippers in the foyer, glanced at Steve Burton moving upstairs, closed the door behind her and then followed him up.

Ruby Gregory followed Steve Burton back to the master room. Steve Burton casually lounged on the sofa. He lifted his eyes to look at Ruby Gregory and asked, “Didn’t your father get admitted to the hospital? What brought you here?”

Perhaps due to the morning call, Ruby Gregory sensed that Steve Burton was a bit upset. She became very cautious. Upon his question, she peered into his eyes and timidly reached into her bag to retrieve a bank card and handed it to him.

Steve Burton glanced at the bank card placed in Ruby’s hands. His expression instantly turned cold as he anticipated something, “What is this?”
