Omnipotent Mrs. Finn novel Chapter 405

When he came out of the laboratory, Alfie was already at the door.

"Miss Harold, you've worked hard, you must be exhausted, do you want to have a meal here? We've known each other for a while, but we haven't had the chance to sit down and have a good meal. Why don't we choose a day, or maybe today?"

He was very attentive and looked at Ruby with a gleaming gaze, as if he was looking at God.

Ruby had not rested properly for several days in a row, and now her face looked white.

"No need," she refused in a faint voice, "I have things to do, let’s take a rain check."

Alfie, who was the best at reading people's faces, didn't force her, nodding his head repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, there will be plenty of opportunities later, so I'll send a special car to take you back, where do you live now?"

Ruby glanced at her mobile phone, Levi had already arrived, and once again refused with a cold expression, "No need, someone else is picking me up."

As she spoke, she loaded the reagents, carries her bag and left.

Alfie had no choice but to give up, and walked her all the way to the entrance of the institute, watching Levi's car leave.

In the car, Levi swept his eyes at the figure that had turned into a small black dot in the rear view mirror and teased her, "Alfie is really attentive to you."

Ruby leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed, unconcerned: "He's desperate to get a share of the research from me, so it's only reasonable that he is attentive."

Seeing that she was tired to the core, Levi was distressed and changed the subject.

"If you're tired, take a nap, we'll be home in a few minutes." His tone was gentle.

Ruby still had her eyes closed and shook her head slightly, "No, I'll rest my eyes for a while, I haven't closed them for the past few days, my eyes are getting blurry. I will go back and finish injecting the antidote for Raphael before sleeping."

"Are you sure the reagent is okay? Raphael didn’t look well these days as if his soul has gone."

Hearing his query, Ruby opened her eyes and looked at him sideways, "What? Don't believe me?"

Levi laughed: "No, it's just that this situation with Raphael is really a bit complicated, I've been feeling alarmed watching it these days."

A cold smile flashed across Ruby's clear eyes, "Thanks to Wyon, putting his own son in this state, he really has no conscience."

As she said this, she seemed to think of something and was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again her tone was more indifferent.

"Wyon is not an exception, isn't my father the same? I don't know how he's getting on now."

She suddenly mentions Spencer, her face without joy or anger, as plainly as if she were talking about an insignificant stranger.

Levi stopped the car at a red light and tilted his head to touch her slightly pale face.

"Don't think about it, the past is in the past, Spencer got what he deserved, and Wyon won't be any better, what you need now is a good rest. Didn't you say to rest your eyes? There's still a while to go before we get home, have some rest, I'll let you know when we arrive."

"Okay." Ruby was really tired, she nodded, rested against the car window glass, closing her eyes.

Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up smoothly at Jin Yuan.

Unable to sit still, Layton waited at the door early in the morning, and when he saw the car stop, he took the lead in opening the passenger door.

"All right, follow this recipe and continue to drink for another three days, and the remaining poison in his body will be cleared."

She handed over the prescription she had drawn up in the laboratory to Layton, then stood up.

Perhaps too exhausted, she tried to say something else, but her eyes went steeply black and she lost consciousness.

"Ruby!" Levi was startled and hurriedly wrapped his arms around her limp waist.

Looking at Ruby's tightly closed eyes and pale face, his eyebrows furrowed as he picked her up in his arms and walked quickly to the master bedroom next door.

Layton was also startled and rushed to follow, but was stopped by Levi: "She’s just tired, it's nothing serious. Go ahead and send someone to get the medicine, don't miss the time."

Layton glanced at Ruby who was unconscious in the arms of Levi, pursed his lips and had to do as he was told.

In the master bedroom, Levi carefully placed Ruby on the bed, then went to the bathroom to get a basin of hot water and a towel, ready to wipe Ruby's face and hands.

However, Ruby's eyebrows were deeply wrinkled, seemingly uncomfortable.

It was only then that Levi remembered that she was now covered in sweat and was definitely not sleeping soundly.

After a moment's hesitation, his thin lips pursed straight and he sighed helplessly, so he carried her into the bathroom and cleaned her briefly.

It was a difficult process, and he tried to put aside those distractions before he got her out of the bath wrapped in a towel.

When Ruby finally lay quietly asleep on the bed, her eyebrows unfurled. Levi was relieved, his body already covered in sweat, and he turned back to the bathroom to take a shower by himself.
