Ruby looked at Lucas in disarray. "Why?"
Lucas finally lifted his head so their eyes could meet. "Because I don't want you to misunderstand Miss Barclay. Therefore, I wanted you to know this secret while you were around me."
"However, I should have told you first before I entered the courtroom." Lucas sighed with guilt. "Is your health okay?"
Ever since Ruby was little, Lucas knew she had a weak body, so he often saw her fall ill. However, Lucas thought that perhaps Ruby's body had improved after the licatio flower neutralized the venenum poison in her body. Therefore, Lucas was perplexed when he saw Ruby fall ill right after she went into shock.
Even though Ruby wasn't seriously ill, her body's reaction shouldn't have dropped drastically just because she heard the shocking news.
"My healer said I'm fine." Ruby held her stomach as she felt somewhat nauseous. "After resting for a while, I'll be fine."
