She wasn't sure if she had pressed the right buttons, her heart tightly wound. After a while, she heard Steve Burton's familiar cold and clear voice coming from the phone, "What's wrong?"
Ruby Gregory had always known that Steve's voice was a rare auditory pleasure in this world, like the sound of nature itself.
However, in the past, when confronted with Steve's voice, she mostly felt apprehensive, terrified, and restless. Yet, at this moment, for the first time, her heart was filled with excitement.
It was as if she were standing in a bottomless pit of despair and saw a sliver of light symbolic of hope.
In that particular moment, Ruby's eyes became slightly hot, and she didn't dare to speak loudly into the phone, fearing to alarm the two men who brought her here.
She gently shifted her hips to one side, then slowly lay down on the ground. After her head gently moved, her lips touched the cold metallic phone, and she opened her mouth and whispered weakly, "Save me, Time."
