Without thinking, he asked back, “Why?” As a result, Steve Burton didn’t say anything and just hung up the phone with a snap.

“Isn’t it because…” Howard Coleman thought for a moment, then casually picked a rather indifferent-sounding excuse, saying, “Bro’s not interested anymore.”

Such a big case, and he just lost interest, saying he wouldn’t do it anymore. So capricious, while the Gregorys, for that case that was not even one-thousandth as important to him, were still doing everything they could to win it.

That is the difference between the Gregorys and the Burtons.

Ruby Gregory suddenly became a little melancholic; she tilted her head slightly and looked out the window without making a sound.

Through the rearview mirror, Howard Coleman looked at the silent Ruby Gregory. In the end, he moved his lips but didn’t say anything. He just focused on driving the car, taking Ruby to the nearest hospital.

Ruby Gregory’s ankle was not injured to the bone and there was no serious problem. The doctor provided her with some topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication, reminding Ruby Gregory not to exert force on her ankle within the next two days.

Howard Coleman told Ruby to wait for him on the hospital hallway’s chairs while he queued up to get the medication.

There were quite a few people in the hospital, and it took Howard about ten minutes to get in line, collect the medicine, and prepare to find Ruby when his phone rang.

It was Steve Burton calling.

Howard answered, “Bro.”

“Where are you?” The question on the other end of the phone was straightforward and without any delay.

“I’m in the pharmacy picking up the medicine, about to go back.” Howard hesitated for a moment and then ingratiatingly said, “The doctor said Ruby’s ankle is fine, no injury to the tendons and bones. Just don’t put any force on it for the next two days, and there won’t be any major issues…”contemporary romance

On the other end of the phone, Steve Burton was clearly listening to Howard’s words carefully, but the moment he was sure that Ruby wasn’t in any serious danger, he hung up the phone decisively, completely ignoring Howard’s attempt to ingratiate himself.

Howard walked towards Ruby with the medicine in hand, reached out, and helped her stand up. “Can you walk?”

“Yes.” Just now, when the doctor had checked her ankle, he had pressed on it twice. Although the pain had nearly caused her to shed tears, she felt much better after the pain had passed.

Ruby’s ankle was injured, so she and Howard walked slowly. Just as they were about to exit the pharmacy, Steve Burton and Rusell Henris strode inside.

Russell quickly saw Howard and Ruby ahead of them. “Howard, I was just looking for you.”

Russell walked ahead of them and stood in front of Ruby and Howard.. He looked at Ruby, gave a slight smile, and said, “Ruby, you’re back?”
