Chapter 324: Blessing in Disguise (14)
“How do you know I won’t die? My stomach hurts so much right now…”
Steve Burton really didn’t know how to explain this question to Ruby Gregory, so he could only say in a blunt tone: “I said you won’t die, so you won’t die. Just stay in the bathroom honestly, and wait for me to call you later!”
Having said that, Steve hung up the phone.
Then, he entered the supermarket, bought a few packs of sanitary pads, hailed another taxi, and went to Ruby’s school.
He had graduated from this junior high school, so he was very familiar with it. He easily arrived at the entrance of the restroom, took out his cell phone, and called Ruby: “Come out, I’m at the bathroom door.”
Ruby paused for a moment, then spoke in a somewhat pitiful voice: “Steve, can you come in? My legs are numb and I can’t stand up.”
Steve held his phone, took a deep breath, didn’t say anything in the end, and clicked to hang up the phone again. Then, for the first time in his life, he entered the girls’ bathroom.
When he handed the bag of sanitary pads to Ruby, his fair face turned red. He threw down the sanitary pads and turned to leave without saying a word. After taking two steps, he stopped again.
Would a woman, who hasn’t been educated about menstruation, know how to use a sanitary pad?
Steve hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and asked Ruby: “Do you know how to use it?”
Ruby opened the bag, looked at the beautifully packaged sanitary pads inside, then shook her head at Steve.
As expected… Steve sighed, and said stiffly: “Just open a pack at random, take out one piece, and put it in your underwear.” When Steve finished this sentence, his face turned even redder. He looked away from Ruby: “After you’re done, come out quickly.”
Then he strode out of the girls’ bathroom.
Steve waited for about five minutes before Ruby finally emerged from the bathroom, dragging her feet. She stood at the bathroom door, her hands behind her back, unwilling to move.
Steve stood at the stairs, looking at her impatiently: “Ruby, what are you doing standing there like an idiot?”
Ruby didn’t speak.
“Are you coming or not?”
Ruby shook her head.
“Then I’m leaving…” Steve said mercilessly, turning around as if he was really going to leave.
“Steve…” The pathetic voice of the girl came from behind.
Steve stopped in his tracks, looked at Ruby, whose eyes were red from crying, and helplessly shook his head. Finally, he walked over to her: “What’s wrong?”
Only then did Ruby pout and slowly turn around in front of Steve.
Steve saw the clumps of red on Ruby’s skirt and understood everything. He scolded, “Why are you so troublesome!” Then he took off his jacket and tied it around Ruby’s waist, covering her skirt perfectly.
With the issue resolved, Ruby finally smiled brightly: “Steve, thank you.”
Her smiling face, as she spoke these words, curved her eyes deeply towards him: “Steve, it’s so nice to have you, can I call you whenever I have any troubles in the future?”
Steve looked at her delicate and charming smile, his heart undulating. He nodded gently,
