Chapter 425: Chapter 425: The Agreed Upon Indifference (5)

Ruby shook her head, her voice carrying a hint of lingering fear: “No.”

However, Steve still insisted on personally examining Ruby’s body just to be sure, only letting out a silent sigh of relief when he confirmed that the blood stains on her were from Maya.

Steve’s original seat was not far from where Maya and Ruby were. When he heard Maya shouting “Ruby!” he instinctively turned his head and witnessed Maya pulling Ruby into her arms just as the heavy porcelain vase struck her head.

In that instant, he felt his entire heart seemed to stop beating.

Ruby calmed herself down and hastily asked: “How’s Maya? Is she okay?”

“Howard has already taken her to the hospital.”

Ruby nodded without speaking, her breathing still a bit unsteady.

With such an incident occurring, the banquet naturally came to an end.

Maya was injured while saving Ruby, so after leaving the Grand Capital Hotel, Steve called Howard to ask which hospital they were at and drove there directly.

When Steve and Ruby arrived, Maya had already been examined, her head wound stopped bleeding and bandaged, and she was receiving an IV drip.

From Howard’s mouth, Ruby learned that Maya was not in any serious danger, only having momentarily passed out due to the impact, and she finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

About half an hour after Steve, Maya, and Howard arrived at the hospital, Maya slowly woke up.

Ruby hurriedly walked to the bedside, grabbed Maya’s hand, and spoke somewhat excitedly: “Maya, are you awake now?”

Maya’s complexion seemed a bit pale, possibly due to blood loss. She stared at Ruby for a while before nodding gently and asking: “Are you alright?”

Ruby shook her head, reached out her hand and tidied the hair strands on Maya’s face, then said, “Thank you.”

Maya smiled and shook her head, then closed her eyes, looking slightly tired.

“Brother, I’ve arranged for a caretaker to look after Ms. Mitchell here. You should take Ruby back first. There are too many people here, and it’s affecting Ms. Mitchell’s rest.” Howard suggested after seeing Maya wake up.

Hearing this, Maya opened her eyes again, looked at Ruby, and nodded in agreement: “Yes, Ruby, you should go back first. I’m fine.”

Ruby hesitated for a moment: “I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.”

“Mhm.” Maya smiled at Ruby.

Ruby tucked the blanket around Maya before standing up from the bedside.

Steve picked up the car keys from the side, instructed Howard, “I’ll leave this to you,” then stepped to Ruby’s side, glanced at Maya lying on the bed, and after a moment of silence, said, “Thank you for today.”

Maya felt that the effort she had put and the pain and blood she had experienced were worth it just to hear Steve say those words.

He had driven her away from Pristine’s Enterprises and refused to give her any opportunities, all for the sake of Ruby’s safety.

She wasn’t willing to accept that.

So, she wanted him to see with his own eyes how far she could go in sacrificing herself for Ruby.
