Chapter 489: Chapter 489: What do I mean to you? (19)

Yet, that happiness didn’t last long before he saw her talking alone with Edric Reat under the ancient tree.

He told himself at the time that they might just be catching up, and it was no big deal… It took him great effort to convince himself not to care, but in the end, he was defeated by the bank card she handed him.

In an instant, he was pushed from heaven into hell.

Ruby Gregory was always so ruthless and unforgiving.

Just like three years ago.

Steve Burton thought about this and blinked, pulling his thoughts back, and said softly, “It won’t be like this again.” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

As he said these words, he looked somewhat defeated: “It will never be like this again… I will love her, but I won’t like her anymore.”

He would love her, but he would no longer be angry or upset because she couldn’t see his emotions or feel his pain, for he no longer liked her.

He would love her, but he would no longer be resentful that she had all his memories but never kept him in her heart, for he no longer liked her.

He would love her, but he would never again feel his world crumbling because of her slightest rejection, because he wouldn’t allow himself to like her that much again.

Love is kept in the heart, while liking is shown in action.

He would never again love her and like her like he did now.

Ruby cried so much that her eyes were swollen, and she didn’t dare to go to the hospital. She casually called her mother to say she was staying at Steve Burton’s place for the night.

Steve didn’t come back the whole night, and she couldn’t keep her eyes open any longer, finally falling asleep at five in the morning.

When Ruby woke up again, it was already noon. She dragged her exhausted body out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. While using the toilet, she noticed a couple of red spots on her white panties.

She didn’t know when the two drops of blood had come out, but by now they were starting to darken.

Ruby subconsciously thought it was her period and didn’t think much of it as she took a sanitary pad from the side and placed it onto her panties.

By the time she rushed from Steve’s apartment to the hospital, it was already 1 pm. As soon as she pushed open the door to the ward, she saw nearly half a room filled with tonics, fruits, and flower baskets.

Ruby frowned, asking, “Mom, who sent all these?”

“Who else could it be? Mrs. Burton, Mrs. Woods, Mrs. Coleman, Mrs. Henris, and Madeleine’s mother all came this morning. They just left not long ago after chatting with me. Ah, Steve and Rusell Henris also came,” Lady Gregory said cheerfully, and her expression became somewhat accusing: “Ruby, you see, Steve came early in the morning to visit your father, but you stayed home to sleep in. You really got spoiled by him.”

Although Lady Gregory was accusing Ruby, there was no trace of blame in her words. After she finished speaking, she immediately took Ruby’s hand and whispered in her ear, “Ruby, was it you who told Steve about your father’s hospitalization? I told you before, if Steve comes to see your father, your father will definitely be pleased. He even ate more than half a bowl of rice for lunch and was excited until he just fell asleep.”

Steve had come to see her father?

And from her mother’s words, it was evident that he had covered for her as well.
