Chapter 856 Share a Room

Outside Ruby's room upstairs, Phoebe raised her hand and knocked gently on the door, asking softly, "Ruby, are you still awake?"

After a while, Ruby came to open the door. She had just finished her bath, and her makeup was removed. Her cheeks were even more swollen, looking quite shocking.

Phoebe tilted her head and looked, "Ethan is asleep, right? Let's go downstairs, and I'll get you some ice to put on your face, or it will be more swollen tomorrow."

"Okay."

The two walked downstairs side by side and went to the kitchen. Phoebe had Ruby sit on a high stool to wait for her. She took some ice from the fridge, wrapped it in a towel, and handed it to her, "Put this on your face."

"Thank you." Ruby took it and gently placed it on her face.

Whether it was too cold or her face hurt, she couldn't help but flinch a little.

Phoebe took two cans of beer from the fridge and handed one to her, "Want a drink?"

"Yeah."

Phoebe opened the tab and pushed the opened beer in front of her, then opened one for herself. She clinked her can with Ruby's, "To life."

"To freedom," Ruby said.

The two exchanged a smile. Phoebe suddenly sighed, "Life is really unpredictable. If there were no conflicts of interest, we might never know the true nature of those close to us."

Ruby deeply felt this. She said, "Yes, if even family is like this, what about outsiders?" Phoebe's heart was lightly pricked. She looked at Ruby's slender fingers clutching the towel and asked softly, "Did you just come back from the Adams family?"

A few days ago, the Adams couple made a scene at their house. They definitely wouldn't let it go. Whether by force or deceit, they would try to take Ruby back.

"Yeah."
