Chapter 145 - 145: 145: Eat It (3)

All along, she had been working and making choices for the overall interests of the Gregorys, as taught by the family since her childhood.

Besides, after struggling for so long, today she could finally see the hope of success. If she just gave it up, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

But today, she suddenly wanted to be selfish and wilful for once, just for the sake of her own pathetic self-esteem.

Ruby Gregory stared blankly at the box of birth control pills for a long time, then slowly reached out, her expression calm as she picked up the box.

A flickered of Steve Burton’s brows.

Ruby Gregory’s fingertips trembled so much that she could hardly open the plastic packaging of the contraceptive box. She brought the box up to her mouth and bit it open with a fierce bite, then took out the medication.
