Speaking of Olivia, his attention was quickly drawn to him.
"By the way, didn't you come to F Country this time to investigate what happened five years ago? How's it going? Have you come up with any clues yet?"
Hearing him take the initiative to ask, Ruby didn't know how to answer, and the hand clutching the steering wheel tightened.
Right now it was in the car, and it was not too convenient to talk about it. A flash of thought passed through her eyes, but she still did not show anything immediately.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Levi didn't think much about it and gently nodded his head.
As a result, after going back, perhaps the ointment had seeped into his muscles and he began to get in a daze.
He had already experienced a thrilling chase and escape before, plus he had been seriously injured and lost too much blood, and had not recovered well.
Now he had to come out to lunch, plus the effects of the medicine, naturally he started to drift off.
Seeing that he had little energy, Ruby frowned and dragged him back to the room.
"Have some rest, your body is not made of iron, and you should have recuperated properly after being injured in the first place, so let's talk when you're refreshed."
With that, she dropped the phone onto his bedside and pulled another one out of the drawer herself.
"Everything you had with you is gone, you should have lost it halfway, if Chester were to contact you, he would call me on this number, so you take this phone."
Anyway, she still had plenty of numbers she could contact, if Dottie couldn't reach her, she would find another way.
At this point, Levi was indeed dazed, with little energy in his body, he obediently agreed and fell to sleep.
It was summertime in F Country. The summer here was different from that in Sea City, much hotter and very stuffy.
After such a trip out, Ruby was so hot that her body was covered in a layer of sticky sweat, which was very uncomfortable.
She looked at Levi's wound and saw that there was nothing wrong with him before she went to her room next door and took a shower in the bathroom.
When she came out all fresh, she sat in the air-conditioned room, rubbing her hair and thinking about the events of the day.
Most of the mystery of that night five years ago had been unravelled, but she was now at a loss.
When Levi asked her on the road, at that moment, she really didn't know what to say.
She wanted to talk about it, yet she vaguely did not want to.
She didn't know how she should face him once she had said it.
If he had been sober at the time that he did what he did, she really didn't know how she would be able to forgive him, let alone how she would be able to be with him as a couple.
The more she thought about it, the more irritable she became, her hair tangling tighter and tighter around her fingertips, and finally she simply fell backwards and lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
She suddenly felt that she seemed to have changed a lot these days.
If it were before, now that she had learned who the man was five years ago, she would not have been so indecisive but would have gone straight to the point.
Not even that she would have been so emotional, the only mood she had was indifference.
But today, why did she have so much sadness?
Suddenly, her mind flashed back to all these days, she and Levi had been spending time together.
