Steve Burton gazed at the delicate and tender smile on the girl's face, his heart swaying. He gently nodded but before he could speak, Ruby Gregory looked at him with a somewhat uneasy expression and asked, "Steve, are you sure I don't have an incurable illness?"
Perhaps it was due to her gentle and sweet smile that touched his heart. He showed unusual patience, nodded towards Ruby, and gave her an answer, "This is a normal physiological phenomenon for humans. It happens once a month."
A normal physiological phenomenon?
Ruby's worried heart finally settled down.
Steve looked at her relieved expression and felt himself relaxing. He raised his hand and touched her long hair, softly saying, "Let's go."
With that, he held Ruby's hand and they started walking downstairs.
However, just after they had taken a few steps, Ruby suddenly turned her head, looking at Steve while asking, "Steve, do you also experience unstoppable bleeding like I did today, every month?"
