When Ruby returned to the ward, Levi, who was sitting beside Olivia's bed, raised his eyes, looking at her.
"Olivia is still sleeping." He said, his voice slightly subdued, as if he was afraid of disturbing the little girl in the hospital bed.
Ruby nodded, looking at Olivia who had a pale face, and then looked at Levi.
"Levi, I have something to tell you." She suddenly spoke, her voice clear and firm.
As if he had been prepared for this, Levi lifted his eyes and looked at her, "What is it?"
"I'm going to leave for some time."
At these words, Levi's pupils suddenly shrank and he asked in a deep voice, "Where are you going?"
Ruby had no intention of hiding and told him directly, "F Country."
Hearing that, Levi was slightly surprised, "Why?"
Originally, Ruby was not going to tell him the purpose of her trip.
After all, it was about what happened five years ago, and it was also related to that man, so she did not want to mention it.
However, for some reason, she seemed to have gradually opened her heart to this man in front of her, and some things that she would never have said before, she could tell him openly and honestly.
Thinking about this, she was silent for only a moment before she opened her mouth lightly.
"Olivia's current situation is not good, I can no longer sit idle. I must find her real father as quickly as possible and start with that man in order to find out what the poison in Olivia's body really is."
The mention of that man from five years ago still made her feel sick inside, a vague feeling of nausea.
But she quickly pushed all these emotions down and continued with her face as normal.
"All the clues now point to that bar in F Country five years ago, and if I want to find out about Olivia's life and find that man from back then, I have to go back and make a trip to the field to investigate."
Hearing her words, Levi's eyebrows knitted together, his face somewhat sullen.
Hearing her mention of Olivia's real father, he was very upset in his heart.
Earlier, he had even asked her about it, but she had said that the man had long since died, so obviously she had been lying at that time.
It seemed that she really hated that man.
When he thought of this, he felt better, but immediately afterwards, he became sombre again.
He didn't know what kind of relationship that man had with Ruby back then that could make Ruby hate him so much that she hadn't even mentioned it to her grandmother in the past few years.
When he thought of what happened in the bar in F country five years ago, his eyes suddenly changed, a touch of suspicion rose in his heart.
How could it be such a coincidence?
The woman he had touched was also in a bar in F Country five years ago!
This thought immediately popped up, and it couldn't help but surprise him.
But before he could think about it deeply, he heard Ruby's clear, cold voice ring out again.
"I'll leave when Olivia's condition is stable, I'm not sure about this side of things, so I'll leave it to you, and please look after Grandma and Olivia for me."
At these words, Levi's eyebrows knitted together, and those doubts just now were instantly thrown to the back of his mind.
"You're going to go by yourself? But I'm not at ease with you."
