To the Love of My Life-Chapter 534 - : Let’s Pretend She’s Dead (4)
Chapter 534: Chapter 534: Let’s Pretend She’s Dead (4)
Ruby Gregory finally got up from the sofa in a panic, and then caught a glimpse of a few drops of red on the spot where she had just been sitting on the sofa cushion.
The sofa cushion was white, and the red color looked like red plum blossoms on it, especially eye-catching.
Her abdomen, however, began to hurt more and more, making it hard for her to stand.
Ruby panicked and found her cell phone, instinctively wanting to call for help, but when she opened her address book, she realized that everyone she knew was closely related to Steve Burton.
Even her most trusted friend, Madeleine, had always treated Steve like a biological brother, with reverence and adoration.
If Madeleine knew that she was pregnant with Steve’s child, she would definitely tell him…but why would Steve save her child…
The pain in her stomach grew stronger, leaving Ruby with little time to think or worry, so she clenched her teeth and directly dialed Edric Reat’s number.
The phone only rang twice before Edric answered, but it felt like an eternity to Ruby.
Edric’s voice was slightly hoarse, as if he had been woken from sleep: “Ruby?”
“Mhmm.” Ruby’s voice was a bit weak: “I think, my current situation is not very good, I need your help, please come here quickly to pick me up…”
Then Ruby briefly stated her address.
“Okay, I should be there in about 15 minutes.”
Edric’s assurance came without any hesitation, only then did Ruby calm down, hung up the phone, picked up her clothes, and quickly got dressed.
Perhaps it was because she had calmed down, she felt the pain in her abdomen alleviate slightly, so she went to the master bedroom, took her bag, went downstairs, left her apartment, and headed directly for the elevator to go down to the first floor.
Ruby hadn’t walked very far, but her forehead was already covered in sweat. She emerged from the apartment door feeling weak and sat on the steps, clutching her abdomen tightly with her fingers.
It could have been that there was no traffic in the evening or perhaps that Edric lived not far from her place, so it wasn’t even 15 minutes before his call came through.
She answered the phone, gritting her teeth, and without waiting for Edric to speak, she gave her building number.
In just two minutes, she saw Edric running towards her at a fast pace.
Ruby slowly stood up from the steps, and before she could say anything, Edric stretched out his hand, picked her up in one swoop, and quickly left.
Leaning against Edric’s chest, she glanced at his worried face and whispered softly: “Thank you.”
As soon as her words came out, she collapsed into Edric’s arms. freёnovelkiss.com
Edric sprinted to his car, opened the door, put Ruby in, hurriedly got in himself, stepped on the gas, and drove straight to the hospital.
–
Agreeing to annul the engagement and not agreeing to annul the engagement were just choices, but Steve had been choosing for a long time and still couldn’t find an accurate answer.
It wasn’t until 8 o’clock in the morning that Steve straightened up, started the car, and slowly drove back to the city.
He didn’t go back to his apartment but went straight to the office.
PS: Continuing tomorrow~~Whether the baby is there or not, I’ll tell you tomorrow~~There won’t be any plot where Ruby comes back with the baby a few years later to reunite with Steve~ At this point, the heartache is basically over~ I hope everyone will be rational while reading, don’t curse the author because of impatience with the plot, pay attention to the degree of complaining~~~Thank you~~~~~
