Chapter 283 Out of My Way!
Chapter 283 Out of My Way!
After coming out of the house, Levi allowed her to pull his wrist, coldness still gripping his brow.
When Ruby turned around and saw this look on his face, she raised her eyebrows and could not help
but smile.
"Tsk, how come you are so angry?"
Levi gave her a sidelong glance, and only after a few seconds did he say in a cold voice, "How did you
stop me when that boy was speaking out against you?"
If she hadn't stopped him, he would have made sure the boy couldn't get out of bed for the rest of his
life and live in regret every day!
Ruby understood his mind, let go of his wrist and lazily make a yawn.
"Why are you bothering with such a boy? Many people have slandered me, if I bother with everyone, I'd
die of anger."
Levi was silent for a long time, his eyebrows slightly raised.
He had always known that this woman had a big heart, but was not overly kind.
At that moment, his eyes flashed and he asked, "Then what do you mean when you say that in three
days at the latest, he will become a waste?"
When she said this, Ruby dropped her hand, and a cunning light flashed in her pretty eyes, much more
vivid than her cool indifference in front of people, like fox.
"Didn't Bobby just say that he had pain all over his body? If I'm not mistaken, then it should be because
the compulsion poison has been eating away at his body for too long, and has left after-effects. The
reason I insisted on making a trip to the Marsh family to follow up on them was because I was worried
that such a situation might arise, but now they don't need me to follow up on him, so let him suffer on
his own."
Upon hearing this, Levi was a bit surprised, "This after-effects are so serious? It can turn a person into
an invalid?"
"Of course." Ruby crooked the corners of her lips, her delicate features having an aggressive beauty.
"This poison is so powerful that it can kill a person. Buried in his body for such a long time, it has
already damaged so many of his nerve cells, he is in pain all over his body, it is these nerve cells all
over his body that are warning him. Judging from his face, he won't be able to hold on for long, at most
three days, he will definitely be paralyzed all over."
Levi nodded in understanding and did not continue the conversation.
He had brought this on himself, but that Bobby was ungrateful and spoke ill of Ruby.
At that moment, he asked her, "What are your plans next? Should we go straight back to Sea City, or
stay in the capital for another two days?"
Ruby was thinking of her grandmother and would not have wanted to stay here any longer.
But looking at Levi's somewhat pale face, she hesitated again.
This man had only just finished his surgery and should have been recuperating, yet he followed her to
the capital and didn't rest for so many days.
She was worried that his body would not be able to cope with another day of flying back.
Thinking about this, she made a decision.
"I haven't been to the capital for years, since I am here, I can't make a trip for nothing, let’s stay in the
capital for two more days, take a look around. There are two restaurants here that do good work, I'll
take you to eat there."
As long as it was her decision, Levi never interfered, and smiling, he responded, "Okay."
......
At noon, following vague memory, she had the driver circle the capital several times, turning in and out
of alleyways, before reaching her destination.
Levi got out of the car and looked up to see the ancient plaque and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"You've been looking for half a day just to come and take me for a vegetarian meal?"
Ruby looked at him, "On this condition of your body now, meat and fishy things can be avoided, the
medicinal food here is very good, although it is not as good as Vincent's restaurant, but it has its own
unique flavor, I used to like to come here, so I take you to try it."
The two of them walked into and Levi found that it was very quaint, yet it did not look like it had been
deliberately decorated.
Seeing his confusion, Ruby took the initiative to explain.
"This shop is an old one, long before the founding of the country. I heard that it was passed down from
the last dynasty, and all the ancestors were masters of medicinal food, but because of the many
medicinal herbs used, the taste was not as good as the medicinal food available in the market
nowadays. I did not like it at first, but later I have got used to it."
As the two men spoke, a waiter had already come over to greet them and seat them.
Levi hadn't been here, so Ruby took the job of ordering the food.
After a while, the meal was brought up and Ruby smelled it, nostalgia were born.
"Sure enough, the craft hasn't changed after all these years, it's been handed down well."
As she said that, she helped Levi with food and a bowl of soup.
"Eat it while it's hot, these are good for you to nourish your body."
Levi did not immediately move his chopsticks, his eyes gazing at her, abruptly curling his lips into a
smile.
Ruby found him baffling, "What are you smiling? Is there something on my face?"
The end of Levi’s eyes rose and he was in a happy mood, "No, I'm just happy that I can have my Miss
Harold looking after me, it's my honour."
Ruby: "......"
She pulled at the corners of her mouth and gave him a blank look, "Eat your dinner."
After that, she lowered her head and stopped paying attention to him, looking like she didn't care, but
her cheeks were slightly heated.
She wouldn't tell him that she had a faster beating heart.
......
Only after dinner, Reggie's phone came.
"Miss Harold, Laboratory Seven has already made the special antidote you have researched in bulk, I
will issue a notice so that if anyone with a similar condition can come to the hospital for the injection. Is
there anything else I should be aware of? Or any reminders that need to be made?"
Ruby wiped her mouth and said, "After the injection of the antidote, avoid greasy meat and fishy
stimulating products for a week, observe in time, if symptoms of unbearable pain occurs, seek medical
attention in time, if the hospital can detect it, just treat it in the hospital, if it is overdue, then they will be
responsible for the consequences."
She didn't say anything about the consequences, and Reggie didn't ask more questions.
Now that the problem had been solved, he didn't need to worry much about the rest.
He moved quickly and got the word out that afternoon. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
And the situation was indeed as Ruby expected, a number of people had already been infected with
the compulsion.
However, they were all shorter than the Marsh family, so they were almost always still in the incubation
period, without an attack, and were easier to control.
Ruby got the news, but did not take it to heart.
What she didn't know, however, was that later that evening, someone was uneasy.
"Heh, there is no way to eradicate this human face compulsion for so many years, and now some kind
of antidote actually pops up. Go and find out who it is that actually has such a great ability to get in my
way!"
