To the Love of My Life - Chapter 717

Chapter 717: Chapter 717: I Have Triplets (7)
 

Ruby Gregory was startled by Steve Burton’s sudden statement.

She hadn’t quite fully awakened yet when Steve, with a start, abruptly stood up from the ground. He stared directly into Ruby’s eyes, solemnly clarifying for himself, “Ruby, I swear to you, it’s a vitamin, I never changed the medicine inside. Think about it carefully. Who had the opportunity to approach your bag while you weren’t paying attention and swapped the medicine?”

Ruby watched Steve’s expression, which didn’t at all resemble a joke. She moistened her lips, slightly calming the anger in her gut, and according to Steve’s suggestion, she began to think carefully.

Steve stood by her, anxiously watching Ruby, worrying that she wouldn’t be able to figure it out and that he wouldn’t be able to clear his name. He couldn’t help but vocalize a reminder, “Think first, who knew that I gave you this vitamin? Start thinking from there, and then try to figure out their intentions, and then check if they had a chance to approach your bag…”

It had been so long since it happened, recalling it was already quite challenging. Steve was speaking non-stop, which irritated Ruby slightly. She glared at Steve, who immediately swallowed his next words, daring not to make another sound.

Ruby furrows her brow, then relaxes, repeating this until after several times, she finally took a deep breath, turned her head towards Steve, and said with a hint of regret, “Could it be… Maya Mitchell?”

After Ruby finished speaking, she painstakingly explained, “Do you remember when Maya was hit by a porcelain object trying to save me? When she was hospitalized, I went to see her and took my vitamins. She asked about it, and I told her that the vitamins were from you. At that time, I didn’t know that she despised me yet… I went to the bathroom several times, leaving my bag with her, so she had the best opportunity to make a move…”

During Ruby’s pondering, Steve also brushed through every person she knew in his mind. In his thoughts, there were only two main suspects left, one was Edric Reat, and the other was Maya Mitchell.

The main reason for suspecting Edric Reat was because he was harboring dishonorable intentions towards Ruby, purposely doing this in an attempt to snatch Ruby away. But if this was truly done by Edric, it made no sense for him to separate from Ruby after taking her. Could it be that he was disgusted that she was carrying his child, and refused to get an abortion?

All in all, regardless of how Steve thought about it, there were many holes. The only person, Maya, seemed reasonable no matter how he considered.

Now, coupled with Ruby’s long explanation, Steve was immediately certain at the bottom of his heart, that the person who switched the vitamins to long-term contraceptives was Maya Mitchell!

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Steve’s eyes. He indeed set up a trap and let Maya jump into it, but he hadn’t intended to be ruthless. However now, she was forcing him to exterminate her thoroughly!

Steve’s lips tightened, and after a long time, he turned his head towards Ruby and said, “Ruby, it’s getting late, you should rest first. I have some important matters to deal with. Once I’m done, I’ll come back to the hospital.”

–

Steve left the hospital, and started to run along the main roads of Ciawell. He didn’t know how far he had run, only when he felt tired did he turn around to retrace his steps at a steady pace.
