Chapter 266 Can't Walk Away
Chapter 266 Can't Walk Away
"So is there anything else we can do?" Hesitating, he inquired softly.
Ruby pursed her lips and gave an inaudible sigh.
"There's life and there's death, old age, sickness and death are normal, everyone has to go through it
sooner or later. Grandma hasn't been well all these years, I've been trying to hang on to her, now her
days are numbered, in fact it's always been within my expectation, it's just that when the day really
comes, I can't help but feel a bit uncomfortable in my heart."
The implication was that the old lady's body, even with the highest medical skills, would not be able to
recover.
At the sound of his words, Levi's heart was sullen, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He put
his hand on Ruby's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze as a sign of reassurance.
Although he had not known the old lady for very long, these days together had made him truly feel the
joy of the family.
It was the old lady who made him feel more like family than the Finn family, who were related by blood.
Therefore, hearing this news, he was also sad.
Ruby put the old lady's hand under the quilt, her eyes floating with a hint of attachment.
"I will find a way to extend Grandma’s life span. I know that my grandmother has not been very happy
all these years, and there are too many people or things that she is worried about. I hope that she will
be happy in the rest of her life."
Levi nodded gently and said in a warm voice, "Don't worry, Grandma will understand your feelings, I will
stay with you and watch over her until the end of her life."
Just as the two were whispering, suddenly, there was a knock at the door from outside the ward.
Levi gently patted Ruby's shoulder, then turned around and walked over, opening the door. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Outside the door, stood Chester and an unexpected visitor - Reggie.
Levi was surprised, "Reggie, what brings you here?"
On the side, Chester had a bitter look on his face as he hurriedly explained.
"Mr. Morris, I have told him several times that it is not convenient for you to see visitors right now, but
he insisted on barging in, saying that it was something very important, and I just couldn't stop him, so I
had to bring him here to knock on the door ......"
Levi gave him a sidelong glance, but did not blame him.
At this point, as if he couldn't wait any longer, Reggie stretched his neck and peered into the ward, his
face obviously very anxious.
"Mr. Morris, is Miss Harold here?"
Levi asked instead of answering, "What do you want to see her about? You can tell me, she's not too
comfortable seeing you right now."
Considering Ruby's current mood, he still did not want to let anything else disturb her.
Reggie smiled, but wrinkled his brow with a difficult look.
"Mr. Morris, although I don't know what happened to you, but I don't want to disturb Miss Harold, but
there is really something urgent right now, I have to see Miss Harold!"
When Levi heard this, a guess immediately came to his mind, "Is it related to the human face
compulsion?"
Reggie pursed his lips and nodded heavily, "Yes."
"Didn't you already bring those chiefs back to life last time? The human face compulsion in their bodies
has been cleared, what else is going on?"
"Although the five chiefs are out of danger, the situation on the Marsh family is not optimistic now."
"The Marsh family?" Levi frowned.
At this time, Ruby heard the movement at the door and vaguely heard their conversation, at which point
she also came over.
"What's wrong?" She was not surprised to see Reggie and asked softly.
"Miss Harold! You've finally appeared!" As soon as he saw her, Reggie's face glowed brightly as if he
had seen a savior.
"Miss Harold, the Human Face Compulsion has now fully erupted in the Marsh family! The situation is
very bad, and I have no choice but to ask you to go over there and save the Marsh family!"
At the sound of his words, Ruby's face froze.
She remembered that last time she had said she was supposed to make a trip to the Marsh family to
see how things were going.
As a result, after the five chiefs of the capital later broke out in unison with the human face compulsion,
she flew straight to the capital and forgot about the Marsh family when she returned.
Now, counting the days, the Marsh families who have come into contact with Matteo have been
infected with the human face compulsion, no one in the Marsh family was safe.
"Did you control the access of the Marsh family last time?"
She was the first to ask, worried that because of the Marsh family's contact with the outside world, the
human face compulsion had spread.
Reggie immediately shook his head.
"No! After you said last time that the human face compulsion was contagious, I immediately sent
someone to control the Marsh family, everyone in the Marsh family was not allowed to go out, food and
drink were fixed to be handed in to them through the door, and even the delivery people were not
allowed to have even the slightest physical contact with them."
"Well, you did the right thing." Ruby nodded and put her mind in peace.
Reggie thought she was agreeing to go with him to the Marsh family and, looking at the time, hastily
proposed.
"Miss Harold, right now the human face compulsion is a matter of utmost urgency, let's leave now, the
private plane is already waiting, on the plane I will give you a detailed explanation of the situation of the
Marsh family."
But Ruby shook her head with a clear, cold face.
"No, I can give you a method to help alleviate their symptoms, but as for saving them, you should find
someone else."
"...... What?" Not wanting her to refuse, Reggie froze for a moment, his face suddenly turning bitter.
"Miss Harold, you can bring back the dead with your healing skills, where else can I find someone who
is more skilled than you? Besides, even if there is a superior person, that superior person may not
know how to deal with the human face compulsion! Miss Harold, it is still necessary for you to go there
yourself."
However, Ruby did not even think about it and refused again.
"I'm not going, I'll send you the exact relief on my phone, you can leave now."
Having said that, she turned back to the ward without looking back and resumed her seat in front of the
hospital bed, her eyes fixed on the old lady in the bed with her eyes tightly closed.
The old lady's health was now so bad that she could not just walk away.
No matter what happened, she should stay by the old lady's side for as long as she could.
She did not say anything about it, but Levi understood, and at that moment, he stopped Reggie who
wanted to barge in, with a touch of coldness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Go away, what Ruby has decided will not be changed, besides, she has neither the responsibility nor
the obligation to save the Marsh family, she is not an omnipotent god, and she has her own things to
do."
Having said that, he looked at Chester and told him to send Reggie away.
