The main reason Steve Burton suddenly left Ruby Gregory after learning the truth was not to call Rusell Henris to deal with Maya Mitchell, nor to show off the Triplets who suddenly became his own, but rather seemingly to handle the recent work handover as an excuse.
When he suddenly left Ruby's ward tonight, he wanted to let himself calm down a bit and there were more important things to do.
So after Steve called Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, Howard Coleman, and Madeleine, he made a call to Madam Burton. After hanging up the phone, he leisurely started the car, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car out of the hospital toward the villa area in the West Suburb.

When Steve arrived at the gate of The Burtons' Mansion, it was close to one o'clock in the morning. As he passed The Gregorys' Manor, he glanced sideways and noticed the tightly locked door, two large lights at the gate, and the quiet, empty courtyard. The dim sleep light from the house cast shadows.
