"There's a saying - 'The law does not punish the multitude.' How do you deal with a sea made up of everyone's spit? "

"What?" Ruby Shane's expression went from surprise to scare, "You're pregnant?"
"..."
"So, I'm going to be a godmother?"
"..."
"Then I must prepare a decent gift today, let me think, what gift would be good for my godson?"
