Raphael knew she was intelligent and did not want to hide it from her at all, so he readily admitted it.
"That's right, he commissioned me, and you're so smart, you should naturally know what's involved."
"Heh ......" Ruby snorted lightly, "I can think of it with my toes, what else can it be about but Zach?"
Raphael nodded and shook again.
"That’s not all, Bobby is highly paralysed and can't even speak now."
As the words fell, he looked straight at Ruby, seeing her look as normal, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't seem surprised at all."
Ruby was disinterested: "It is expected, except that it was earlier than I thought."
"So can he still be saved?"
Ruby looked at him sideways and replied him nonchalantly, "You don't need to test me, whether he can be saved or not, I won't do anything, I won’t save him and Zach."
This was a very straightforward statement.
Raphael knew her temperament and was not surprised. He nodded with understanding and changed the subject when he spoke again.
"How long are you planning to stay in the capital? It's time to give me, an old friend, a chance to do my duty as a landlord."
With that, he turned his eyes to look at Levi and smiled.
"Besides, the news of your marriage has spread among a few old friends in the capital, and they are all curious as to who you have married, so why don't you find a chance for everyone to meet?"
Levi calmly sipped his water, but his ears perked up, waiting for Ruby's response.
But Ruby was concerned about his health and refused, "It's not necessary to see him, we don't have anything else to do here, so we'll go back to Sea City tomorrow or the day after."
Levi’s face did not change, only his eyes darkened a bit.
Raphael gave a "tsk" and teased her, "Look at you, you don't even let us see him, do you have to hide him so tightly?"
He made a few more small talk, then had the good sense not to interrupt again and got up to leave.
Ruby looked at his expression, her eyes flickered slightly, and did not ask him to stay.
After coming out of the restaurant, Raphael went straight to the Marsh’s.
Layton and Matteo had been waiting there, and as soon as they saw him, they hurriedly inquired, "What did Miss Harold say?"
Raphael shook his head, saying nothing, but the meaning was clear.
Matteo's face turned grim at once.
Layton's brow furrowed and he was about to say something, but Raphael raised his hand to stop him.
"I can understand your feeling of wanting to help the Marsh family, I have been working with them for long, and now that something like this has happened to the Marsh family, I don't feel good either, but you know how Ruby’s personality. You asked me to help persuade, I went, but persuasion never works, and you know that no one can change what she has decided, as always."
Layton was left speechless.
"Then let it go like that?" Matteo was still undeterred, "Then what should I do about my son and my father? Am I supposed to just stand by and watch?"
Raphael was silent for a moment and sighed, "I will try my best to find a famous doctor who can treat them, you wait patiently."
There was nothing else to do at the moment.
But wait patiently? Matteo could wait, but could his father wait?
Sitting in the sofa, he clenched his teeth and a sinister glint flashed under his eyes.
......
On the following day, Ruby saw that Levi was looking better, so she planned to return to Sea City.
"Pack your things, let's go back today, I'll book the tickets." Eating her breakfast, she said casually.
Levi didn't even raise his eyelids, "Okay."
