Usually, Ruby could support him, but now she was drunk and seemed to lack the strength when she tried. She had only just helped him up when he collapsed onto the bed, causing a heart-wrenching pain to shoot through his legs.
Mmm.
He couldn't help but let out a low moan of pain. His complexion turned somewhat pale, and he felt utterly despondent.
Ruby collapsed onto the bed beside him. Hearing his low moan, she seemed to snap out of her stupor. She immediately sat bolt upright, her drunken eyes wide with panic. The alcohol appeared to have mostly worn off. The next moment, she hurriedly asked, "Marcel, did I hurt you? I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Is it serious? Should I go find Dr. Ray?"
After saying that, she tried to slide off the bed.
"Ruby," Marcel Horne quickly held onto her, stopping her from leaving.
He didn't want to involve the family doctor and once again become the subject of his family's worry and sympathy.
