Upon arriving at the hospital, it was still Steve Burton who hurriedly carried Ruby Gregory into the emergency room.
Ruby really fell quite hard this time, as her injury had turned into a deep purple color.
Since it was a head injury, the hospital first conducted a concussion test on Ruby to ensure she was alright before prescribing some medications to help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
In reality, as long as there was no concussion, it would just be an external injury. After about ten days or half a month, it would subside and return to normal. However, since Ruby’s forehead was severely swollen and the bruise turned blackish-purple, it looked rather frightening. So, Steve decided to have the hospital arrange for her hospitalization.
Upon learning that nothing serious was wrong with her, Ruby’s deepest desire was to finally go home.
At this moment, she felt that her injury wasn’t such a terrible thing. At the very least, she wouldn’t have to endure the party until the end with Steve present. Maybe she could even take a few more days off work using this injury as an excuse and not go to the office.
So, when Ruby heard Steve wanting her to be hospitalized, she reflexively spoke up, refusing, “I’m fine, let’s just go home.”
Edward Woods naturally knew Steve’s intentions; he just wanted to take advantage of Ruby’s minor forehead injury to spend more time with her. So, he didn’t pay attention to Ruby’s objections and went to the first floor to complete her hospitalization procedures.
Although Ruby’s injury was just a minor forehead bruise, Edward still arranged for a VIP Suite.
Steve placed Ruby on the soft hospital bed, and, finally free from the man’s embrace, she quietly let out a sigh of relief before quietly stretching her limbs buried in the beddings.
After sorting everything out, Edward naturally wouldn’t linger here and continue to disturb Steve and Ruby. So, he used the excuse that the party hadn’t ended yet to leave.
Although she was no longer being held by Steve, Ruby felt even more uneasy with one less person around, Edward.
She lay in bed, not moving at all, eyes closed, ears perked up to listen to the surrounding movements.
Ruby felt Steve standing by her bedside for a while before he left.
Only then did she open her eyes, covering her chest as she took a few long breaths, just in time to hear footsteps at the door.
Ruby quickly lay back down, and soon after, she heard the door being pushed
open.
Steve placed a cup of water on the table beside the bed, took out the medicine prescribed by the doctor according to the dosage, and said lightly to Ruby on the bed, “Take the medicine first.
From the moment Ruby fell and was picked up by Steve, she had kept her eyes closed, even while stating that she didn’t want to be hospitalized, in order to avoid him.
Now, as the man suddenly called out to her to take the medicine, Ruby’s heart raced, and her hand, hidden beneath the covers, unconsciously gripped the bedsheets.
