I have just read some fanfic, so this is not my idea, but it says the reason Ruth was awake of sorts, was that it was a saline drip. It wouldn't hurt her. I think this may be one of those things we never find out but I really struggle to think that Lucas would have killed Ruth, so maybe.

So he shot her up with something to knock her out and then put her on a saline drip? Would that keep her asleep? I thought I saw Harry disconnect the drip as soon as soon as he came in. My daughter gets knocked out regularly for MRIs and she starts to comes out of it within minutes of it being disconnected. So maybe whatever sedative Lucas had in the drip was a low enough dose to just keep her asleep but not kill her, thus supporting the idea, as with the bomb, that he had no intention of killing her at all and was only lying to get the desired result from Harry.
