Chapter 186 Can’t Save
“Don’t worry, money is not a problem, I won’t renege on the bill.” When Hattie saw that Ruby did not immediately agree, she immediately understood and hastily added.
Ruby shook her head, “It’s not a matter of money.”
“Then what is the problem? The old lady has been ill for so many years and you were able to cure her with just a few stabs, Lennon has only been ill for a short while and it’s not that serious, how can you…” Hattie spoke up with some urgency.
Just thinking of Lennon in this state made her heart anxious.
“Grandma’s illness has a cause, but Lennon’s illness, that’s a heart disease. I can’t save one with heart disease, you’d better find another expert.” Ruby refused outright, shaking her head.
What a joke, Lennon was crippled by her own hands, and now she was wanted to save him personally? That kind of scum, she didn’t make him half paralyzed, which was already kind.
“Why, how could this happen?” Hattie was so devastated that her whole face lost its glow.
Although Natan did not say anything, his eyes were obviously much darker. Obviously, he still hoped that Ruby would save Lennon, who in the end was more obedient to him and more understanding than Levi.
“Sister, you are really lucky, you actually have such a powerful granddaughter in-law, this medical skill is god. We are all family, in the future, if there is someone in my family who is not feeling well, ask your granddaughter in-law to help, you can’t refuse it.” The old lady, who had just given Isabella a grim look, changed her face at that moment and was extremely pleasing to Isabella.
Although Isabella was disgusted by this, she felt relieved to see her sister’s ingratiating look.
Everyone else started to compliment the old lady and the whole living room was buzzing with excitement.
The corners of Ruby’s mouth twitched as she glanced at Levi.
Levi sneered, he had been used to the shamelessness of the Finn family. He pulled Ruby to a quiet corner, looked at Isabella, and was silent for a while before asking Ruby, “Did you really cure her?”
“Yeah.” Ruby took a glass of juice and was drinking it, the taste was not bad, sweet and a little astringent.
Levi looked at the object in her hand and his face couldn’t help but change, reaching out and snatching her drink away, “Who gave you this?”
“What’s wrong? It was just taken there.” Ruby looked at Levi with a puzzled expression.
She was tired after treating the old lady, and she happened to be thirsty, and seeing the colourful juice, she took a glass.
Levi could not help but raise his hand and rub his temples at her words, “Come on, let’s go home now.”
“What?” Ruby was puzzled.
Levi, however, did not explain.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
After all, Ruby had changed after drinking and did something that was against the norm. He did not know how to explain to Ruby.
He pulled Ruby out of the Finn’s, and shoved her directly into the car.
The night was cool and breezy, very comfortable. Ruby sat in the car, rolled down the window, she actually felt a little dizzy at this time, her brain was like stuffed with paste, she could not think properly.
She propped her chin on one hand and stared out at the view in awe.
Levi had already started the car and left the Finn’s.
When the wind blew, Ruby felt that her brain was even more confused.
She turned her head sideways and looked over at Levi, who was sitting on the side, her eyes misty.
Levi did not dare to stop, stepping on the accelerator to the maxiMom, almost speeding all the way towards Shangcheng International.
Only halfway down the road, he suddenly braked sharply and brought the car firmly to a halt.
Ruby looked at him with drunken eyes, reached out and pinched his cheek: “You are so good looking, have I seen you somewhere before?”
Levi: “…” Again.
“Why don’t you say anything? Do you have a girlfriend? What do you think of me?” Ruby looked at Levi with bewildered eyes, cupping his face with both hands and pulling him closer to her.
Levi looked at the face that was close at hand and his heart inexplicably beat faster.
Her sweet-smelling breath hit his face, inexplicably tantalising.
How could Levi, who was a man of vigor, not react?
“You want to be my girlfriend?” Knowing full well that Ruby was delirious at the moment and would forget what she said when she woke up, Levi couldn’t help but be tempted, reaching out to pick up her chin and asking in a soft voice.
The temperature inside the carriage rose abruptly, and even Levi’s breathing sharpened.
Ruby smiled and put her hands around Levi’s neck, “Yes, I don’t have a boyfriend yet, will you take me home?”
Levi’s face changed at her words and he moved closer to Ruby, his voice lowered: “Do you often invite other men to take you home?”
For some reason, Levi thought of Olivia.
Judging from Olivia’s age, Ruby was at most nineteen years old when she gave birth to Olivia.
When he thought of how confused she would be whenever she was drunk, Levi’s eyes deepened, even he didn’t realize that he was so concerned about this matter.
Ruby blinked bewilderedly and looked at Levi, seemingly not understanding what his words meant: “No, only go home with you.”
“Is that so? Why only go home with me?” Levi asked.
“Because on you, there’s a familiar smell.” Ruby was unguarded when she was drunk, and she answered almost honestly to whatever Levi asked.
Levi’s heart moved slightly and he moved a little closer to Ruby: “Then can you tell me about your daughter…”
“Daughter?” Ruby’s eyes grew more and more confused, but after a moment, a flash of sadness flashed under her eyes, and she suddenly pushed Levi away with great force, clutching her head in pain, “Go away! Don’t come over! Don’t come over! Don’t -”
In that moment, Ruby seemed to be a wounded and helpless beast, clutching herself with both hands and whimpering in a low voice.
Levi was distressed by her look and couldn’t care about testing anything, he hastily pulled open the car door and got out of the car, went around and opened the door and pulled Ruby out of the car, “Don’t cry, I won’t ask you again.”
“Don’t come over, don’t come over, go away–” Ruby was trapped in a nightmare, and there was no way to pull away.
Levi gently took her in his arms and reached out to pat her back to smooth her breath.
Ruby cried for a long time until she was tired, and only then did she finally fall asleep in the arms of Levi.
Looking down, at the face with red and swollen eyes, Levi sighed softly.
