Steve Burton reached out and took the porridge from the nurse's hand, gesturing towards the mobile dining table with his chin, "Remove this."
He then stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, let it drip for a moment, and brought it to Ruby Gregory's lips.
In Ruby's mind, she should have been the one taking care of Steve. Seeing him personally feed her the porridge, she felt overwhelming gratitude and instinctively said, "I can do it myself..."
As soon as the words left Ruby's mouth, her heart skipped a beat, realizing she had said the wrong thing.
She feared her refusal might upset him... This was the experience she had gained in her recent interactions with him. She was puzzled since she always believed people didn't like to be bothered, but he not only seemed to have infinite patience for her troubles but even seemed to enjoy it.
