To the Love of My Life - Chapter 704

Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Chaotic Baby-Making (24)
 

The sky had just barely started to brighten when Steve Burton woke up from a nightmare, sitting up abruptly.

In his dream, Ruby Gregory had gone into labor and was screaming in pain… it even led to a difficult delivery in the end…

Steve raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Before his hand had even dropped, he heard a gentle voice beside him, “Sir, are you awake?”

Steve’s hand paused. He looked up and saw a young nurse standing by the bed.

Steve’s brows furrowed slightly as he looked around. The room was surrounded by white walls, and on the bedside table, there was also a testing device emitting light beeping sounds. This wasn’t his room, but a hospital room…

Only then did Steve fully wake up. He threw the blanket off, jumped out of bed, and dashed towards the room, not even bothering to put on his shoes.

“Sir, sir, what are you doing?”

Before the young nurse’s voice even faded, Steve had disappeared into the room. She glanced at his shoes, shook her head, and was about to leave the room when the door suddenly opened again. Startled, she stepped back and looked up. Steve had returned, and before she could say anything, he urgently asked, “Which room is Ruby Gregory in?”

“Ms. Gregory?” The nurse replied, looking down at the patient records she was holding before lifting her head and saying, “In Room 301, at the very end on the left.”

Steve nodded without speaking and swiftly turned around. As the nurse kindly called out, “Sir, your shoes…”, Steve’s figure vanished again before she could finish her sentence.

–

When Steve arrived at Ruby’s room, he peered through the window and saw her lying peacefully in the hospital bed, with a needle in her wrist and clear liquid slowly flowing into her body.

Steve swallowed hard, his earlier agitation gone. He gently pushed open the door and tiptoed over.

There was another nurse in Ruby’s room. As Steve entered, she quickly stood up but found herself silenced by his raised hand in a hushing gesture before she could greet him.

Steve stood by Ruby’s bed, watching her slightly pale face. He could clearly feel the lingering fear in his heart. His trembling fingers reached up and touched her nose, feeling the soft breaths that gently brushed over his fingertips. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as though all his strength had been drained in an instant, leaving him weak and limp. Thankfully, he managed to lean on the edge of the bed just in time to prevent himself from falling.

Ruby was alive… Ruby was alive… Steve thought that he had never been as above stimulated in his life as tonight. Ruby giving birth was like putting him through hell, subjecting him to every kind of torture trial!

Steve braced his arms against the edge of the bed, staring intently at Ruby without blinking, panting heavily. After a long while, he finally turned his head and asked the nurse who had been standing by, “Where are the babies? Where are they now?”
