Ruth nodded when she saw how motivated Lily was.
Not because Lily agreed to help her.
But because Lily reminded her of her younger self.
She couldn't help it, she wanted to help Lily as well.
The bakery needed more people anyway.
She trusted Lily.
Lily smiled when she saw Ruth nodding at her.
She said, "Don't worry Ruth. I'll tell Master Zorion about your request!"
Soon, it was the following day.
Ruth received a call from Lily.
Lily managed to get Zorion out.
Zorion was very excited to see Ruth again.
He missed her very much.
"Ruth, you've become so beautiful.' Zorion muttered, "You're even more beautiful than before."
Ruth blushed from his compliment.
She calmed herself down right after.
Because she had come to see Zorion about something important.
She wasn't here just to chat with him.
"Master Zorion, are you doing well in the Quartley Palace?" Ruth asked.
"Yes, very well." Zorion replied, "Ruth, I have some good news to tell you."
"Go ahead Master Zorion."
Zorion smiled foolishly and said, "Ruth, I'll be having a baby soon. My wife is pregnant. I'll have a baby very soon."
Ruth felt hurt inside when she saw how happy Zorion was.
Master Zorion was much too naive.
He never suspected anything at all.
Ruth took a deep breath.
Holding back her shame, she asked, "Master Zorion, do you know how a woman gets pregnant?"
