He had a few drinks during lunch because Gary had invited a few clients of his to lunch and Elliot could not avoid drinking with them.
He headed straight to the bedroom as soon as he arrived home. He was feeling slightly dizzy, and he needed some rest so that he would have the strength to look for Hayden that night.
When he pushed open the door and saw Ruby lying on the bed, he froze.
"Elliot, did you drink?" Ruby set her phone down to study the blush on Elliot's face, and said, "My brother came to visit me earlier in the afternoon, and he told me that | could rest in the master bedroom." "Yeah." He went to sit down by the bed and looked at her pale face. "How are you feeling today?" "My wound still hurts a bit but | feel more energetic than yesterday," she said, "You shouldn't have drunk. You are taking medication. You could have told them that; it's not like they would force wine down your throat.” "lI want to take a nap.” Taking the hint, Ruby sat up and moved to get out of bed.

When he woke up and realized it was just a dream, he sighed a breath of relief.
"Ruby, | suddenly remembered that there's something | need to do. | need to head out." He glanced at Ruby, who was lying on the bed.
"It's going to be time for dinner soon, where are you going?" "Don't ask me what | am going to do or tell anyone where | went," he said to her as he got out of bed.
"I understand what you mean, Elliot. Even if my brother came to ask about you, | wouldn't give him the whole truth," she said reassuringly. "My brother is no match for you, otherwise he wouldn't try to kill you. The person you need to look out for is my father." Elliot was slightly taken by surprise by Ruby’s words.
"Elliot, | want to grow old with you," Ruby confessed.
Different emotions filled Elliot's eyes. "Rest at home, and don't wait up for me if I'm late.
