Chapter 161 As You Like It
“Why, how is it possible? How can Nellie do such a shameless thing? She loved Harvey, how could she have a child with another man? You must be lying to me, right? I can see that the child looks so much like Harvey, there is no way she is not my Harvey’s child…,” Old lady Sutton immediately got emotional upon hearing these words, her previously disguised performance was gone at once.
“Oh, you treat your Harvey as a treasure, but Nellie is not a treasure! You treated her like that in the beginning, and you still want her to stay single for Harvey for the rest of her life? Get out of my sight, get out! Get out of here right now!” Cara had long since seen through the true nature of Old Lady Sutton, and seeing what Old Lady Sutton looked like, she directly stepped forward and reached out to push Old Lady Sutton towards the door.
“Cara, I…” Old Lady Sutton still wanted to speak, but Cara didn’t give her any chance at all and pushed her straight out the door.
“Get the hell out of here! Don’t ever set foot in our house again! I’m telling you, if you dare to harass Ruby, I’ll fight you to the end!” Cara couldn’t help but cough violently when she got emotional.
Levi had just come out of the lift and his face changed slightly at the sight of this. He quickly stepped forward, squeezed past Old lady Sutton who was blocking the doorway and looked at Cara with concern, “Grandma, what’s wrong with you? Don’t get emotional, go in and sit down.”
Old lady Sutton looked at the suddenly appearing Levi in a daze, not knowing for a moment what his relationship with Grant family had been before.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Inside the house, Ruby heard the movement was not right and also opened the door to come out and check the situation.
When she saw Levi coming, she was a bit stunned, but quickly came back to her senses and walked over quickly, reaching out to take hold of Cara’s hand and taking her pulse in the process.
The old lady’s pulse was disturbed and she was obviously extremely irritated.
“Grandma can’t be stimulated any further, I’ll take her in first, I’ll leave this to you.” Ruby instructed with Levi and helped Grandma into the room first.
Cara was so agitated that she was helped into the house by Ruby while still cursing angrily, “I’m telling you, you old shameless thing, you’re not allowed to come and disturb Ruby again! If you come back again, I’ll fight with you!”
“Grandma! You can’t get irrigated, even if you want to protect me, you should at least take care of your own body first, what if something happens to you?” Ruby scolded unhappily with a stern face.
Cara was so weak-hearted that she did not dare to look Ruby in the eyes, but only spoke in a muffled voice: “Then, then you must first promise me that you will not be allowed to believe whoever comes to you with nonsense in the future.”
Ruby was exasperated by the old lady’s childish words, she looked at Cara with a helpless face for a long time before sighing, “Okay, I promise you, no matter who comes and tells me nonsense, I definitely don’t believe them, I will go home first and ask you, is that okay?”
“That’s more like it. You mustn’t meet with that old woman again, she’s a bad person, she’s definitely not in the best of intentions, got it?” Cara admonished uneasily.
Ruby agreed to do so and managed to calm the old lady down before she went out to the door to check on the situation.
Levi blocked the doorway and looked coldly at Old lady Sutton in front of him, his expression condensed.
Old lady Sutton did not leave either, but stood outside the door, constantly looking into the house.
Ruby walked out at this time and looked at Old lady Sutton before she opened her mouth and asked indifferently, “Is this what you are aiming for to come home with me and meet my elders? If that’s the case, then sorry, you may not be very welcome in our home, and please don’t appear in front of me again in the future.”
“Tell me, which year were you born?” Old lady Sutton couldn’t wait to ask, she had to be sure of Ruby’s age now, if she really wasn’t Harvey’s child, it would be a waste of effort for her to say any more.
“It’s none of your business. Levi, close the door.” Ruby said impatiently and glanced at Levi.
Levi froze for a moment at the name Levi, then his heart inexplicably sweetened as he agreed and turned to enter the door, closing it behind him with his hand.
Old lady Sutton opened her mouth, the words she wanted to say were blocked in her throat, and there was no way to say them, she could only watch the door being closed in front of her.
She stood in the doorway for a long time before raising her hand to wipe her tears, but soon, she murmured in a low voice again, “It’s okay, it’s okay, I won’t give up, whether the Sutton family can rise from the dead this time depends on her, if she is my family’s child, then the Sutton family will be saved. I can’t give up, I absolutely can’t give up.”
Only after saying this did she turn away with a determined gaze.
“How did you get involved with the Sutton family?” Levi asked only after he entered the door and looked at Ruby’s not-so-good face.
Ruby looked at him, “You know the Sutton family well?”
“Not really, there have been some dealings, mainly with the eldest son of the Sutton family.” Levi shook his head and answered honestly.
“Is that so? Grandma knows them and, by the looks of it, has a grudge.” Ruby couldn’t help but frown as she thought about the way Grandma had looked just now.
She had lived with her grandmother for so many years and had never known that the old lady had hidden so many other things, first her own identity, and now came the Sutton family.
Dr. Moore had once said that the Sutton family was in a superior position because Taylor had saved a certain big shot back in the day, so it looked like the Grant family had some past she didn’t know about.
“I’ll have someone check it out.” Levi pursed his lips, his expression somewhat serious.
Ruby originally wanted to say that there was no need to do so, but when she thought about it, Levi’s duty now was to protect the old lady’s safety, and these seemed to be things within his obligation.
She nodded, sort of agreeing, and after thinking about it, she fished out another translucent glass bottle from inside her pocket and handed it to Levi, “This is for you.”
Levi was puzzled and took it over, the glass bottle was very nice, with very delicate engraving on it, and colourful pills could be vaguely seen inside, which looked like candy for children.
“It’s for eating, take two pills a week, keep it with you, it might be of some use one day.” Ruby explained in a light voice, not saying too much.
Levi knew that the things Ruby gave out must all be good things, so he silently put it into his pocket before speaking up, “Thank you.”
