Then, she turned and walked to the water dispenser nearby, took a cup, filled it with water, and walked back to the bed.

Steve Burton placed the cup on the bedside table first, then threw the box in his hand in front of Ruby Gregory, and said calmly, “Eat it.”

Ruby slowly sat up from the bed, her body already stung by Steve’s hurtful words, her face pale. When she saw the words “Yuting” on the box that Steve had tossed in front of her, Ruby’s face instantly turned bloodless, even her lips pale.

She thought that he had just said those words in anger.

If she really was pregnant, that was not up to him to decide.

The Burtons would never allow their own blood to be lost, let alone the fact that the Gregorys and the Burtons were neighbors. Once the raw rice was cooked, the Burtons would let her marry into their family.

But now, Steve unexpectedly handed her an emergency contraceptive pill.

Apparently, what he just said was not just for show—he really didn’t want her child!

As he said, she was indeed delusional!

She was nothing but a toy, being taken advantage of time and time again.

He had hurt her many times, each time mercilessly and absolutely, leaving her no dignity at all.

But this time, he was not only hurting her, but also trampling on her.

Ruby clenched the bedsheet tightly, her eyes downcast, staring at the contraceptive pill box.

Steve looked at Ruby, who was still fixated on the contraceptive pill box and made no move. His throat moved slightly, his hands at his sides clenching into fists. When he spoke, his voice was still emotionless and cold, “Take the pill, and I will let you go.”

“This is for your own good. Although contraceptives have side effects, it’s still better than having an abortion when you are really pregnant.” Abortion…

Ruby’s body trembled violently, her face almost transparently pale.

In front of him, she never allowed herself to be emotional.

In the past, she was afraid of provoking him, but this time, she wanted to leave some dignity for herself.

Even if she felt like crying now, she would cry when she left him!

She knew deep down that if she were really pregnant, she could go to the Burtons, and they would decide the fate of the child—not him.

The Burtons would never kill their own bloodline, nor allow their descendants to be lost.

Moreover, the Gregorys and the Burtons were neighbors. Once the raw rice was cooked, the Burtons would accept her into the family.

She also knew that if she didn’t take the pill, a month later, if she were pregnant, she could go directly to the Burtons, and by then, her child would secure a better future for the Gregorys..
