As they chatted, Ruby Gregory inadvertently caught a glimpse of Steve Burton’s injured hand, which had had the bandage removed. Reminded of something, she casually asked, “Is the wound on your hand healed?”

During their conversation, she had been trying to steer the conversation towards him, but was having little success, either talking about Howard Coleman’s excellent golf skills or Madeleine’s increasingly impressive career woman demeanor – even getting as far as discussing shopping discounts… What did any of that have to do with Steve Burton? Finally managing to focus on him, Steve’s lips curled slightly. However, when he glanced at Ruby, his expression softened as he nodded and said, “Yes.” After his usual arrogant and aloof “yes”, he added, “It’s healed.”

Steve opened his palm for Ruby to see. She noticed a scar in the center of his palm.

Such a beautiful hand had such an eye-catching flaw, and Ruby couldn’t help but blurt out, “Such a prominent scar…” 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺

Ruby hesitated for a moment, then rummaged through the bag she had brought with her and took out a small bottle of ointment, “This is the hand cream I use. It helps remove scars.”

Ruby remembered the scene at Red Park Resort & Villas’ viewing platform when Steve had asked her to apply the medicine.

He shouldn’t mind her applying the medicine, right?

Ruby glanced at Mr. Robbins, who was still watching her and Steve from a distance. Finally, she tentatively asked, “Do you want me to apply it for you?”

Steve’s lips suddenly curled into a subtle smile. He didn’t say anything, but simply extended his hand to Ruby.

The bright sunlight shone directly onto her face, casting a golden glow on Steve’s fair complexion, making him look as noble as Zeus from Greek mythology.

Since there was no table between Ruby and Steve, she had to place Steve’s hand on her own lap.

The man’s hand tensed up slightly, but even through the thin layer of his sports clothes, he could feel the softness and smoothness underneath.

Ruby scooped a bit of the ointment with her pinky finger and applied it to the scar on Steve’s palm, carefully spreading it evenly.

She had taken out a little too much ointment and ended up covering Steve’s entire hand with the excess.

Steve fixed his gaze on Ruby as she applied the ointment, his mood improving and pleasure reflected in his eyes.

As Ruby finished applying the ointment and prepared to let go of Steve’s hand, the man gripped hers and gently caressed the back of her hand.

His actions were somewhat sudden and also somewhat meaningful.

The thrilling sensation she had experienced at Red Park Resort & Villas when Steve had whispered in her ear crept its way back into her heart..
