After seeing that message, Steve Burton immediately changed his flight and flew to Poham. He then took a taxi to Zhouzhuang.
On the night Ruby Gregory got drunk, Steve was waiting outside the hotel and saw Edric Reat carrying her inside.
When Ruby woke up again, it was the next day. She was still wearing yesterday's clothes and lying in her bedroom's bed.
Edric, meanwhile, had not yet woken up and was still sleeping on the living room sofa.
They caught a train at 10 a.m. and arrived at Ciawell ten hours later. As they emerged from Ciawell West Station, Ruby hesitantly felt a sense of trepidation. She first apologized to Edric, then gritted her teeth and said that from now on, they would be strangers to each other, and she hoped he would forget what had happened these three days.
At the bustling Ciawell West Station, Edric stared at her for a long while, then nodded his head and uttered a word: "Fine."
Ruby moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing, and turned to leave.
