However, seeing her mother's joyful face and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, Ruby Gregory couldn't quite bring herself to speak. She just curled her lips slightly and said: "Good night."
Perhaps Lady Gregory was too overjoyed to notice Ruby's unusual behavior. Lady Gregory's voice was soft and filled with barely restrained happiness: "Good night."
Ruby didn't say anything more, a faint smile on her face. Only after watching Lady Gregory leave the bedroom did she suddenly get up from the sofa, rush into the bathroom, open her mouth over the toilet, and began to vomit. However, she couldn't throw up anything but kept dry heaving, her entire stomach filled with an unbearable nausea.
After finally stopping the dry heaving, Ruby squatted on the floor, gripping the toilet, and breathing slightly, only to hear a knock on the door, followed by Lady Gregory's voice: "Ruby?"
