Chapter 451 Research Institute
At that moment, Ruby smiled and looked as if she did not care much.
“It doesn’t matter, didn’t you bring me here to see a doctor? Why are you so worried?”
She put on a look of incomprehension and cocked her head.
Seeing that, Levi could not help but feel helpless, rubbing her hair, his hand sliding down to her cheek again and squeezing it lightly.
“Nothing. You don’t have to worry about anything, I’m here and I’ll protect you.”
These words were rather solemn, and when Ruby heard them, her heart warmed up and she could not help but smile.
“Of course I’m not worried, Levi Finn, you’re so powerful, you can naturally protect me well, I’m very relieved.”
Hearing her call his full name, Levi’s eyebrows rose slightly: “Why don’t you call me Levi anymore, instead of calling me so rusty?”
Ruby choked and her eyes rolled slightly as she cooed, seemingly unintentionally, “I’m just saying it off the top of my head ……”
She was such a quirky person, Levi’s eyes flickered slightly, and his mood could not help but improve.
……
As soon as Jason returned to his office, he contacted Benjamin.
“Boss, they have been received and placed in the penthouse suite, what’s next?”
Soon, Benjamin’s voice came from the other end.
“What else can we do? Treat her immediately of course, by all means make her remember she knows the healing arts!”
Jason indicated that he understood and, after some deliberation, asked again, “So Boss, when do you plan to show up?”
Benjamin on the other end of the phone narrowed his eyes slightly, and a fine aura flashed under his amber eyes before he replied after a moment, “We’ll see how it goes, you can first find a way to cure her, all the recent work on hand can be put aside, everything is based on Ruby’s condition.”
“Understood.” Jason immediately led the way and did as he was told.
……
Since today was the first day of arrival and it would soon be evening, Jason did not schedule an examination for Ruby today, but instead scheduled it for tomorrow.
On that day, apart from his appearance to receive them, he did not appear after that, and they were all looked after by the lab maids.
In the evening, there was a knock on the door and food was brought in.
Looking at the rich dinner on the table, Ruby inhaled and was quite satisfied.
“Why do I get the feeling that we’re under house arrest, that we can’t leave the place, even to have meals brought in.”
She cooed casually as she took the dish.
Levi smiled, not caring for himself, and served her food first, responding in a warm voice.
“Serving us a meal should be a form of care, as for house arrest …… I don’t think so. Jason just said we couldn’t leave the Institute but didn’t say we couldn’t move around in here, so if you want, we’ll go out after we eat.”
At that, Ruby’s eyes lit up, “Really? We can move around?”
Levi raised his eyebrows, “We’ll know when we ask, by all rights it should be possible, there’s no way we’ll just be allowed to stay in the room.”
As he spoke, his mobile phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, his eyes deepened and he let her eat first, getting up to answer the phone on the balcony.
This call was from Josie, Levi had instructed her to follow later before he left, and now, she should have arrived.
Sure enough, as soon as the call was answered, Josie’s voice came through, her tone very worried, “Mr. Levi, how are you and Miss Ruby doing now?”
Levi looked out into the night, his face drowning, and said lightly, “Nothing is wrong at the moment, where are you now?”
“We’ve reached the outside of the institute, but we haven’t gotten close. The area is heavily guarded, even around the institute there are so many guards that we can’t really tell unless we look closely. Luckily we have guard in advance, so we did not go forward, or there will be a problem once we are found out.”
Levi said, “Good job, don’t go near it yet, just stay nearby and observe the situation.”
“Okay.” Josie answered, and after a short interval, she couldn’t help but be concerned, “How is Miss Ruby’s health now? Has her memory returned?”
Levi’s thin lips were pursed: “No, we’re going to do a sophisticated full body check tomorrow, let’s see if there’s any progress then.”
Hearing this, Josie was disappointed but said nothing, only praying silently in her heart that her lady would be safe and sound.
After hanging up the phone, Levi went back into the living room and saw Ruby eating with gusto.
When she saw him sit down, she blinked suspiciously and asked, “Who’s calling, and you have to go out to answer it?”
The tail of Levi’s eyes rose slightly and took on a bit more of a teasing tone, “What, is this an attempt to check up on me?”
Ruby choked for a moment and skimmed the corners of her mouth, “I was just asking casually.”
Levi smiled and didn’t hide it, “It’s Josie.”
At that, Ruby was surprised: “Josie? Why did Josie call you but not me?”
Levi: “Who knows? I guess she thinks I’m more reliable than you right now.”
Ruby: “…… What did she say to you?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Nothing, it’s just that she’s already led someone this way and is now in the vicinity.”
This did not surprise Ruby, after all, in an unfamiliar place, there must be someone to guard in the shadows.
“Well ……” At that moment, Ruby nodded her head and did not ask more questions.
After dinner, the two of them went downstairs together, only to learn that Jason had already left.
John, who was in charge of looking after them both, said, “Mr. Finn, Mrs. Finn, there is no problem for you two to walk around the Institute if you want to, and I can even show you around, but the north side of the Institute is an important place and you cannot just step in, sorry.”
At these words, Ruby’s eyes flickered slightly, a touch of thought sliding across the bottom of her eyes.
Levi’s face did not move, he nodded: “I know, I won’t bother you to show us around, we’ll just walk around by ourselves.”
John nodded and left.
Only Ruby and Levi were left. The two of them went out of the Institute and walked aimlessly in the courtyard outside the Institute.
Around the outside of the high-tech building was an open space with a large distance between it and the fence.
Ruby looked around the fence seemingly unintentionally and found that it was very strong and high, with guards standing at regular intervals underneath the fence.
Levi also noticed it, and coolness flashed under his eyes.
“Security has always been chaotic in Y Country. This institute is not in the centre of the city, but it’s not particularly secluded either. To take up such a large area of land to open this institute, it seems that Jason has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.”
