Chapter 268 Cara Wants to Go to the Capital
"Grandma, this is ......"
Ruby was surprised, her eyes staring intently at the parchment scroll, her eyes full of doubts.
Cara did not say anything, her head half-lowered, looking at the parchment scroll with what appeared
to be nostalgia, her wrinkled hand gently rubbing it for a moment before she sighed quietly.
"This was handed down to me by my mother, your great-grandmother, back in the day. This contains a
record of the method that can completely cut off and contain the spread of the Human Face
Compulsion, so that it can be exterminated. Now that the situation is critical, I'll leave it to you, you
must keep it well, it's your great-grandmother's only relic."
As she spoke, she spread Ruby's palm and handed the parchment scroll over to her, patting it gently.
Ruby's eyes gazed at the parchment scroll and the doubt in her eyes increased rather than decreased.
"Grandma, why does Great Grandma have this?"
The old lady coughed twice and exhaled heavily, looking despondent and reminiscing about the past.
"She was a famous doctor back then, her medical skills were superb and she was able to bring back
the dead. She happened to hear about the Human Face Compulsion and was very curious about it.
Later, with her ancestral medical skills, she conducted an in-depth study of the human face compulsion
and finally achieved something.”
Ruby raised her eyebrows in admiration of her great-grandmother, whom she had never met before.
But even so, she couldn't let go of the old lady in her heart.
"Grandma, but I'm still not at ease if I don't see your body recover, since I have this method of saving
people, then I might as well go a few days later and give this method to Reggie first, so that he can
slow down the lives of those Marsh family members ......"
At her words, the old lady pretended to be angry and reprimanded her with a stern face.
"What kind of words are you saying? This is our family's ancestral secret scroll, how can you casually
give it to others to read?"
Ruby naturally knew this, but what she cared about more than these secret scrolls was her
grandmother.
She had already lost too many loved ones in the world, and she could never leave her grandmother
alone again. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Grandma, I don't want to leave you. ......"
Seeing that she could not be persuaded, Ruby simply took out the killer tactic and hugged her and
pouted.
The act of pouting was something she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had done it,
and she had been cold when it came to outsiders.
But it was only when she faced her grandmother that she occasionally became like a child.
Naturally, Cara knew that, but Ruby had to do what she should do.
At that moment, she scolded her with a displeased face.
"Look at you, no matter what, you have to go, this is a few living lives that must not be cut short alive
just because of your selfish thoughts! The reason your great-grandmother had to draw this secret scroll
herself was so that no one would lose their lives under the evil spell of the Human Face Compulsion for
no reason at all! How can you, as her descendant, disregard her mandate in vain?"
Only then did Ruby let go of her reluctantly and pursed the corners of her lips.
On the other side, Levi saw this, he smiled lightly and rounded up the situation.
"Okay, Ruby, Grandma's body will be fine with your medicine holding it together, just be in touch from
time to time when you get to the capital."
At the end of his sentence, he looked at the old lady again, his eyes gentle.
"Grandma, Ruby rarely pouted, but thanks to you, this is the first time I've seen it, you take care of
yourself, leave Ruby to me, I'll protect her at all times."
Hearing this, Ruby was immediately distracted and raised her eyes to look at him.
"You're going too?"
Levi raised his eyebrows, with an air of righteousness, "Naturally, how can I be at ease if you go alone?
Of course I have to accompany you."
"But you've only just had surgery, your body hasn't recovered yet and you need to rest."
Immediately, Ruby wrinkled her brow and was about to refuse.
"No, you can't go, I'll just go on my own, there's nothing to worry about."
But Levi took her hand and put it in his and squeezed it gently.
"Just think of it as for me, I'm panicking at not being there for you, so don't turn me down, okay?"
He spoke with such affection that Ruby hesitated and the old lady was the first to agree.
"Okay, Levi, you stay with me so that I can feel at ease, I believe that Ruby can take care of you."
Levi smiled, there was tenderness in the corners of his eyes, "Okay."
The two men settled on three words.
Ruby wanted to object again, but one person could not argue with two, so she had to agree.
So the two went home, packed their things, and then followed Reggie on board the private jet.
......
Just after they had left, Cara contacted her bodyguard, Denis.
"Pack your things now and come and pick me up from the hospital later."
On the other end of the phone, Denis was in confusion.
"Cara, why are you in hospital? What happened?"
The old lady tsked, impatiently.
"I am fine. My great-granddaughter has had an operation and is now in hospital, so you arrange for
more men to come over, 24 hours a day, to protect my great-granddaughter."
Denis immediately responded, followed by a question, "Then why should I pack my things? Where are
you asking me to pick you up?"
The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, her weather-beaten eyes covered with a stern momentum as
she said, word for word, "I am going to the capital."
Denis looked very grave when he arrived.
However, he had rushed over not to send the old lady to the capital, but to stop her.
"Why don't you have your luggage ready?" The old lady was drinking her tea when she turned her
head at the sound of the voice, and immediately after seeing him, she frowned in displeasure and
inquired.
Denis was in a bit of a hurry on his way here and was now out of breath. He calmed his breathing,
swallowed and opened his mouth in a hurry.
"Cara, you can't go to the capital!"
At these words, the old lady wrinkled her brow, "The capital is not a place that eats people, why can't I
go?"
"Aren't you clear about that?" Denis was anxious and immediately retorted to her, "If you show yourself
in the capital, you will definitely be in big trouble!"
