"What do you plan to do with this ointment?" Steve Burton gave the medicine to Ruby Gregory.
Ruby Gregory looked down at it. It was an ointment for stopping bleeding and reducing swelling. Her expression changed slightly, and then she remembered. This was from the night when she was injured, when Steve Burton was at the hospital and she angrily shattered a glass cup. When her mom arrived, she held a piece of bloody glass shard for her to see.
She was awake throughout that night, with the bloody shard filling her thoughts. The next day when she was on her way home, she impulsively stepped into a pharmacy and purchased this ointment.
It was after making the purchase that she realised it was unnecessary. She didn't want to confront Steve Burton, let alone think about how to give him the ointment. Thus, she threw the medicine in her bag and kept it there until this very moment.
If Steve Burton hadn't mentioned it just now, she might have completely forgotten about it.
