Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Chaotic Baby-Making (30)
 

About half a minute later, Steve turned his head and saw Ruby Gregory and Edric Reat leave side by side through the glass window of the incubator room.

Ruby didn’t stay away for long, not even ten minutes before she came back. Steve looked a bit surprised, carefully examining her expression, but found nothing unusual, which piqued his curiosity even more.

Though Ruby had just left for a short while, the Triplets had already fallen asleep by the time she returned. Newborn babies don’t have much to see; most of the time, they’re either sleeping or just shifting their positions. But Ruby still stared at the three incubators for a while before going back to the ward with Steve.

Ruby was staying in a suite, and when Steve entered, he looked around the entire room, even pretending to go to the bathroom and peeking in, but he didn’t see any sign of Edric. So he was sure that Edric really only came for ten minutes and left, not even looking at the three children in the incubator room. His curiosity grew even more intense.

By the time Steve came out of the bathroom, Ruby had already climbed into bed and closed her eyes, looking as if she were asleep. Steve stood by her bed, staring at her for a long time before sitting down on a nearby sofa, opening his laptop, and working on some business matters.

Ruby slept longer than usual, not waking up until dinner time. Steve spent the whole afternoon feeling restless and not getting any work done. When Ruby finally woke up, he immediately put dinner on the table and pushed it in front of her.

Before eating, Steve opened the thermos as usual and filled a bowl with the special restorative soup he had asked Mrs. Taylor to make. He took a spoon and personally fed Ruby.

Ruby had been drinking various restorative soups every day, and she was getting fed up. After taking just two sips, she frowned and felt nauseous, spitting the soup into a trash can nearby. She shook her head, not wanting to drink any more.

Steve quickly grabbed a wet wipe and wiped the corner of Ruby’s mouth for her. As he pulled his hand back, he called her name, “Ruby…”

Steve’s hesitant, stuttering tone made Ruby’s just-relaxed brow furrow again. She turned her head, staring into Steve’s eyes without speaking.

Steve’s lips moved a few times, but he eventually couldn’t help asking the question that had been bothering him recently, “This afternoon, he was here for just ten minutes?”

Ruby knew that the “he” in Steve’s mouth referred to Edric Reat. After hearing the question, she naturally nodded her head towards Steve and then lightly replied, “He just came to see me.”

She gave birth to his three children, almost dying in the process, and Edric had only come to see her?

Could it be that, as he had been speculating recently, Ruby and Edric had really separated?

But even if they had separated, Edric was too cold-blooded, completely indifferent to his own children’s wellbeing?

Watching Ruby’s soft and serene profile, Steve’s heart filled with both sympathy for her and anger at Edric. His breath became somewhat unsteady, and his voice sounded a bit strained when he spoke, “He…”

Steve had just said one word when Ruby suddenly interrupted him, speaking in a very smooth and composed tone, “He has nothing to do with me anymore.”
