Ruby Gregory was shocked back to her senses and looked at Steve Burton, then her mind began to wander again.
She had been pestering him all day yesterday to be discharged from the hospital. It seemed like he was teasing her, not allowing her to leave. Could it be that he was afraid that she would go home, sleep and scratch the scabs on her body, leaving scars?
Ruby was stunned by her own speculation, staring straight at Steve without blinking.
Steve saw Ruby staring at him for a long time without any reaction, so he shook the small paper bag in front of her again.
Ruby abruptly snapped back to reality and realized that she had been staring blankly at Steve. Her face turned a faint shade of red and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, noticing the small paper bag in Steve's hand. To hide her embarrassment, she pointed to the paper bag and asked, "What's in here?"
Steve stuffed the paper bag into Ruby's arms: "Remember to take it on time every day."
