Child... Upon hearing these two words, Ruby Gregory's face turns a shade paler.
She doesn't need to have a child right away; she's actually already pregnant. But... it seems Steve Burton isn't welcoming of this child at all.
"What, you don't look so good. Is it because you can't bear to see me get free from your clutches?" Edric Reat looks at Ruby's pale face and speaks with a hint of worry behind his half-joking words.
Ruby snaps back to attention and shakes her head at Edric: "No."
"Well, it's getting late. I originally came to the hospital to see a friend. Where are you going? Need a ride?"
"No need, I want to stay here for a bit longer." In fact, she doesn't know where to go herself. She had a huge fight with her parents, Steve treats her coldly, and her only friend Madeleine is married now.
