These words were said with sincerity, Ruby pursed the corners of her lips lightly and did not say a word.
Her cool eyes glanced around the sickly woman's face as if to see through her, and after a few moments, she withdrew her gaze without a moment's hesitation.
Seeing this, Reggie was about to help Lacie plead for mercy again, but before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by Ruby.
"You don't have to say much."
When he heard this, Reggie's heart thumped, and Lacie's face was even more ashen with regret.
But Ruby gave Tina a cold look and said in a deep voice, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and help your lady back to her room?"
When Tina heard this, she froze for a moment, followed by a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.
Seeing her worry, the corners of Ruby's mouth raised with a cold smile.
"What? You don't dare? I've heard that your master treats you well, so why are you cowering in fear now?"
The irony of these words was so strong that Tina's face stiffened, embarrassed, but in the end she gritted her teeth and went forward to help Lacie back.
Reggie's eyes lit up and he asked with anticipation, "Miss Harold, you mean ......"
Ruby raised her hand and straightened her cuffs, with a careless look, and said slowly, "The Marsh family's condition cannot be delayed any longer, especially Mrs. Marsh, and treatment should be carried out now."
"Wonderful! Miss Harold, you really are the kindest person in this world!"
When Reggie heard this, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Kind?" Ruby snorted nonchalantly, "This is the first time I've heard someone describe me like that, Reggie, you are wrong."
She did not think she was kind.
However, Levi raised his hand to rub her hair at this time and smiled faintly, "My Ruby is the best person in this world."
He did not use the word 'kind', but rather the word 'best'.
This word covered many virtues and Ruby did not know what he meant.
She didn't ask though, raising her hand to slap his away, bristling and taking the lead in turning back, "Let's go."
Behind her, Levi watched her back and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Reggie stood by and saw this and couldn't help but come over, rubbing his chin and sounding rather jealous.
"Mr. Levi, you are lucky to marry Miss Harold."
Levi did not retort but nodded, his eyes flickering.
"Well, you're right, indeed I am lucky."
Ruby stayed in Lacie's room alone, as previously requested.
She first applied needles to put Lacie to sleep, and then repeated the same technique to remove the human-faced compulsion from her body.
Only afterwards did she turn over the secret parchment scroll handed to her by her grandmother and follow the steps and methods described on it to completely remove the compulsion hidden in Lacie's body.
It turned out that this human-faced compulsion would produce a compulsion poison when it was inside a person for a long time.
The poison was deeply embedded in the muscle, and even if the compulsion was removed, it was difficult to clean it completely.
