The babies were very restless, being triplets, they were constantly moving, wriggling one after the other. From Steve Burton's palm, they followed the blood vessels straight into his heart, bringing with them an earth-shaking turmoil. Eventually, it was as if he could no longer bear it, and suddenly yanked his hand away from Ruby Gregory's belly.
Steve Burton's reaction came without warning, prompting Ruby to blurt out, "What's...?"
Then she turned her head to look at him, her words not yet finished, and when she met his somewhat gloomy gaze, she froze for a second, her voice abruptly halted.
It was as if Steve didn't hear her voice, his eyes unblinkingly focused on her belly.
There was no anger or unhappiness on his face, no gloom or coldness, and it was not much different from usual. Yet Ruby still sensed that something was wrong with him, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
For a moment, the private room became incredibly quiet.
