After coming out of the house, Levi allowed her to pull his wrist, coldness still gripping his brow.
When Ruby turned around and saw this look on his face, she raised her eyebrows and could not help but smile.
"Tsk, how come you are so angry?"
Levi gave her a sidelong glance, and only after a few seconds did he say in a cold voice, "How did you stop me when that boy was speaking out against you?"
If she hadn't stopped him, he would have made sure the boy couldn't get out of bed for the rest of his life and live in regret every day!
Ruby understood his mind, let go of his wrist and lazily make a yawn.
"Why are you bothering with such a boy? Many people have slandered me, if I bother with everyone, I'd die of anger."
Levi was silent for a long time, his eyebrows slightly raised.
He had always known that this woman had a big heart, but was not overly kind.
At that moment, his eyes flashed and he asked, "Then what do you mean when you say that in three days at the latest, he will become a waste?"
When she said this, Ruby dropped her hand, and a cunning light flashed in her pretty eyes, much more vivid than her cool indifference in front of people, like fox.
"Didn't Bobby just say that he had pain all over his body? If I'm not mistaken, then it should be because the compulsion poison has been eating away at his body for too long, and has left after-effects. The reason I insisted on making a trip to the Marsh family to follow up on them was because I was worried that such a situation might arise, but now they don't need me to follow up on him, so let him suffer on his own."
Upon hearing this, Levi was a bit surprised, "This after-effects are so serious? It can turn a person into an invalid?"
"Of course." Ruby crooked the corners of her lips, her delicate features having an aggressive beauty.
"This poison is so powerful that it can kill a person. Buried in his body for such a long time, it has already damaged so many of his nerve cells, he is in pain all over his body, it is these nerve cells all over his body that are warning him. Judging from his face, he won't be able to hold on for long, at most three days, he will definitely be paralyzed all over."
Levi nodded in understanding and did not continue the conversation.
He had brought this on himself, but that Bobby was ungrateful and spoke ill of Ruby.
At that moment, he asked her, "What are your plans next? Should we go straight back to Sea City, or stay in the capital for another two days?"
Ruby was thinking of her grandmother and would not have wanted to stay here any longer.
But looking at Levi's somewhat pale face, she hesitated again.
This man had only just finished his surgery and should have been recuperating, yet he followed her to the capital and didn't rest for so many days.
She was worried that his body would not be able to cope with another day of flying back.
Thinking about this, she made a decision.
"I haven't been to the capital for years, since I am here, I can't make a trip for nothing, let’s stay in the capital for two more days, take a look around. There are two restaurants here that do good work, I'll take you to eat there."
As long as it was her decision, Levi never interfered, and smiling, he responded, "Okay."
......
At noon, following vague memory, she had the driver circle the capital several times, turning in and out of alleyways, before reaching her destination.
Levi got out of the car and looked up to see the ancient plaque and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"You've been looking for half a day just to come and take me for a vegetarian meal?"
