To the Love of My Life

Chapter 412: Never Touch Her Again (12)

The phone was answered by Ruby Gregory. Upon hearing that, her heart suddenly felt heavy. She slowly hung up and somewhat reluctantly said to Mrs. Taylor, who was busy in the kitchen, “Mrs. Taylor, Steve Burton wants you to go upstairs.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Taylor immediately stopped what she was doing, washed her hands, and went upstairs.

After a while, Mrs. Taylor came out of the master bedroom on the second floor and went to the guest bedroom on the top floor. After bustling about for a while, she finally came out and said to Ruby, who was sitting in a daze on the sofa in the living room, “Ms. Gregory, I’ve tidied up the guest room for you.”

Ruby was momentarily surprised by this and glanced unconsciously at the master bedroom where Steve was. “Steve tonight…”

“Mr. Steve said that you’ve been busy all day, so you should rest early.”

“But…”

“Ms. Gregory, don’t worry. I’ve already called the Mansion and told them I’ll be staying here tonight. I’ll take care of Mr. Steve, so you should get some rest.”

Hearing Mrs. Taylor’s words, Ruby didn’t know what to say. She moved her lips and finally lowered her eyes. “Oh,” she sighed, then stood up and slowly made her way upstairs. As she passed the master bedroom, Ruby took several glances inside before turning into the guest room.

Mrs. Taylor had already prepared bathwater for Ruby, and she had even brought her underwear and nightgown from the master bedroom: “Ms. Gregory, take a hot bath, and you’ll sleep more comfortably.”

Ruby tried to smile and say “thank you” to Mrs. Taylor, but her lips refused to move. In the end, she just nodded lightly.

“Well then, Ms. Gregory, if you’re all set, I’ll go check on Mr. Steve.”

Ruby nodded stiffly again.

Mrs. Taylor said “good night” and headed for the door. Just as she was about to leave, Ruby blurted out her name.

Mrs. Taylor stopped. “Ms. Gregory, is there anything else you need?”

“No,” Ruby shook her head, biting her lower lip. “Has Steve taken his medication?”

“I’ll go give it to Mr. Steve right away.”

“Okay.” Ruby paused before saying, “There are three types of medicine. He should take four capsules, six yellow pills, and one white antipyretic pill since he has a fever now.”

“Ms. Gregory, rest assured, I know all of this.”

“As long as you know, that’s good, that’s good.” Ruby repeated the words twice, then turned to Mrs. Taylor and added, “Also, after six hours, remember to wake him up and give him his medicine again.”

“Alright, Ms. Gregory.” Mrs. Taylor smiled and said, “I’ll go now, okay?”

Ruby nodded and spoke again, “Yes, Mrs. Taylor, if his fever goes down, he can take half of an antipyretic pill the second time. And, Mrs. Taylor, remember to prepare some hot water – he needs to drink more water when he has a cold. Also, I’ve turned up the central air conditioning in the room, so it’s a bit dry. The humidifier might not have any water left, so remember to refill it. Otherwise, it’ll be too dry and uncomfortable to sleep in the room…”

Ruby said everything she could think of until she couldn’t find any more instructions to give. Finally, she said in a low voice, “You can go now.”
