Edwin turned in irritation when he heard someone suck a deep breath out of shock. He was ready to lash out at the intruder when he had strictly commanded that no one disturbed him but as soon as his cerulean blue eyes noticed who the person was his words remained stuck in his throat.
He was aghast, shaken to his core looking at the round face that screamed nothing but hatred.
"Ruth..." The bare whisper went unnoticed by the very person as she ran towards Florence and cocooned her in her arms.
Florence was broken and couldn't control a loud sob that escaped her mouth and she let the stream of her pain flow boundlessly in Ruth's arms.
After misunderstanding Rees, Ruth felt ashamed to stand in front of him. She wanted to run from there without wasting a moment but she remembered about Florence. She couldn't abandon her in this place.
