Chapter 273 Rescued
Chapter 273 Rescued
These words were said with sincerity, Ruby pursed the corners of her lips lightly and did not say a
word.
Her cool eyes glanced around the sickly woman's face as if to see through her, and after a few
moments, she withdrew her gaze without a moment's hesitation.
Seeing this, Reggie was about to help Lacie plead for mercy again, but before he could open his
mouth, he was stopped by Ruby.
"You don't have to say much."
When he heard this, Reggie's heart thumped, and Lacie's face was even more ashen with regret.
But Ruby gave Tina a cold look and said in a deep voice, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't
you hurry up and help your lady back to her room?"
When Tina heard this, she froze for a moment, followed by a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.
Seeing her worry, the corners of Ruby's mouth raised with a cold smile.
"What? You don't dare? I've heard that your master treats you well, so why are you cowering in fear
now?"
The irony of these words was so strong that Tina's face stiffened, embarrassed, but in the end she
gritted her teeth and went forward to help Lacie back.
Reggie's eyes lit up and he asked with anticipation, "Miss Harold, you mean ......"
Ruby raised her hand and straightened her cuffs, with a careless look, and said slowly, "The Marsh
family's condition cannot be delayed any longer, especially Mrs. Marsh, and treatment should be
carried out now."
"Wonderful! Miss Harold, you really are the kindest person in this world!"
When Reggie heard this, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Kind?" Ruby snorted nonchalantly, "This is the first time I've heard someone describe me like that,
Reggie, you are wrong."
She did not think she was kind.
However, Levi raised his hand to rub her hair at this time and smiled faintly, "My Ruby is the best
person in this world."
He did not use the word 'kind', but rather the word 'best'. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
This word covered many virtues and Ruby did not know what he meant.
She didn't ask though, raising her hand to slap his away, bristling and taking the lead in turning back,
"Let's go."
Behind her, Levi watched her back and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Reggie stood by and saw this and couldn't help but come over, rubbing his chin and sounding rather
jealous.
"Mr. Levi, you are lucky to marry Miss Harold."
Levi did not retort but nodded, his eyes flickering.
"Well, you're right, indeed I am lucky."
Ruby stayed in Lacie's room alone, as previously requested.
She first applied needles to put Lacie to sleep, and then repeated the same technique to remove the
human-faced compulsion from her body.
Only afterwards did she turn over the secret parchment scroll handed to her by her grandmother and
follow the steps and methods described on it to completely remove the compulsion hidden in Lacie's
body.
It turned out that this human-faced compulsion would produce a compulsion poison when it was inside
a person for a long time.
The poison was deeply embedded in the muscle, and even if the compulsion was removed, it was
difficult to clean it completely.
What Great Grandma had recorded in the parchment scroll was a method for removing the compulsion.
However, this method was somewhat out of step with the current state of medical care because it was
invented so long ago.
If Ruby was not proficient in ancient medicine, it would have been difficult to do so even with this secret
parchment scroll.
By the time she emerged from Lacie's room two hours later, she was drenched in sweat and the hair at
the temples of her ears was wet and stuck to the side of her face in a somewhat uncomfortable way.
When Levi saw her coming out, he hurried over to her, took out a handkerchief, wiped her sweat, and
tucked her hair behind her ears.
"How was it? Tired? Do you want to rest?"
He was more concerned about how she was feeling than about anyone else, and seeing the tiredness
in her, he couldn't help but wrinkle his brows in concern.
Reggie was anxious to know what was going on inside, and asked urgently after Levi's words fell, "Miss
Harold, how is Mrs. Marsh?"
Ruby shook her head at Levi first, indicating that she was fine, before looking at Reggie.
"She is all right now, go and get the medicine according to this recipe of mine, boil them together on
low heat for six hours, and give them to these people afterwards."
Hearing her say "these people", Reggie's eyes lit up as he took the prescription and asked, "Miss
Harold, you mean these people from the Marsh family can be saved today, right?"
Ruby nodded.
Seeing this, Levi's brow immediately knitted in some disapproval.
"It took you so long and so much effort to save one person, how can your body take it if you save two
more in a row? It's better to take a rest first."
With that, he took her hand and was about to lead her to a guest room to rest.
But Ruby refused, grabbing him with one hand and shaking her head at him.
"They are not in a good condition now, if we delay any longer, the poison will only go deeper, and then
it will be even more troublesome and time-consuming to clean up, so it is better to act earlier."
"Poison?" Levi was puzzled, "What was that about?"
"I'll explain to you later, I'll go first, you're still not well enough, no need to wait at the door, find a room
and lie down for a while, I'll come to you when I'm finished."
After saying that, she went back into Josephine Marsh's room next door.
Knowing that she was eager to save the lives of others, Levi could not stop her, but was uneasy about
her, so he did not go to rest by himself and remained waiting at the door.
About five hours later, by the time Ruby came out of Josephine's room, she was so tired that she was
about to be deflated.
Her body was already covered in sweat, her clothes were soaking wet and sticking to her body, and
she looked like she had been fished out of the water.
"They are all right now, send nurses to look after them and let me know if there's anything wrong at any
time."
She instructed Reggie and asked again, "How is the medicine brewing?"
Reggie was overjoyed and felt finally relieved, nodding frequently, "Just as you requested, it is still
brewing on low heat."
"Okay." Ruby nodded, and was just about to turn around and say something to Levi, her eyes went
black and her brain lost consciousness.
Seeing her fall in front of his eyes, Levi was quick to hug her, practically going crazy with anxiety.
"Ruby! Ruby ......"
But by this time, Ruby could no longer hear anything.
Saving these three men had already taken a lot of her strength and she was so tired that she passed
out.
