As soon as Maxwell Gregory drifted off, Lady Gregory came over, pulling Ruby by the arm and taking her into the bathroom. Closing the door, she lowered her voice and asked, "Ruby, how is Steve? Has he forgiven you?"
At the mention of Steve, Ruby's heart shuddered violently. Struggling to control herself, tears rolled down her cheeks again. She moved her lips but made no sound, only nodding silently at Lady Gregory.
"Then why do you still look dazed?" Lady Gregory's eyebrows knitted, a layer of inquiry in between.
Ruby instinctively wanted to blurt out that she was pregnant, but immediately thought that if Lady Gregory found out, the whole world would know about her pregnancy within a short time.
And it was Steve who had given her the contraceptive pills, which meant he didn't want her child. What if he forced her to abort the baby in her belly?
