However, seeing her mother’s joyful face and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, Ruby Gregory couldn’t quite bring herself to speak. She just curled her lips slightly and said: “Good night.’

Perhaps Lady Gregory was too overjoyed to notice Ruby’s unusual behavior.

Lady Gregory’s voice was soft and filled with barely restrained happiness: “Good night.”

Ruby didn’t say anything more, a faint smile on her face. Only after watching Lady Gregory leave the bedroom did she suddenly get up from the sofa, rush into the bathroom, open her mouth over the toilet, and began to vomit. However, she couldn’t throw up anything but kept dry heaving, her entire stomach filled with an unbearable nausea.

After finally stopping the dry heaving, Ruby squatted on the floor, gripping the toilet, and breathing slightly, only to hear a knock on the door, followed by Lady Gregory’s voice: “Ruby?”

Ruby hurriedly got up from the floor, turned around, and tidied up her messy hair in front of the mirror at the sink. Only then did she turn around and leave the bathroom.

Lady Gregory was holding a glass of milk and offered it to Ruby, saying, “Ruby, drinking milk can help you sleep.”

Ruby felt her stomach churning again, and she was afraid she would vomit in front of her mother. She clenched her teeth tightly, pretending to be calm and slightly nodded at Lady Gregory.

Lady Gregory didn’t linger much longer, leaving the milk on the bedroom tea table and departing.

Ruby heaved until her entire body was drained of energy, finally feeling slightly better. She scooped some water from the faucet to wash her face and then looked up. Through the large, bright mirror in front of her, she saw a woman with a pallid complexion that was somewhat frightening.

Ruby stared at the mirror for a long time, gently pursing her lips before leaving the bathroom. Somewhat numbly, she lay back down on her bed. The words spoken by Steve Burton in Pristine’s Enterprises’ top-floor office still echoed faintly in her ears.

“Ruby, are you perhaps overestimating yourself?”

“Three years ago, I took your innocence, but I never took responsibility for you.

You think that after three years and carrying my child, I’ll marry you?” “You’re really daydreaming!”

“Let me tell you, Ruby, whether it’s you or the child in your stomach, no one can force me to want what I don’t want!”

She could still remember his expression, so full of disdain and disgust.

Ruby stared at the ceiling, her eyes filled with a thick layer of sorrow that seemed to never dissipate..
