Omnipotent Mrs. Finn

Chapter 405 Exhausted

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." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

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.

"Ruby, how is it going? Is the antidote definitely developed?"

Ruby unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car, sweeping him a glance: "If not, why I come back?"

She said as she walked towards the villa, "Where's Raphael, what's the situation now?"

Layton followed her closely, his steps wide, obviously anxious.

"It's not good, it feels like his breath is getting weaker and weaker now, he's spitting out more and more

of the medicine he's feeding, before he was spitting out half of it, now he can spit out two thirds of it, I

can only increase the amount of medicine."

At the sound of his words, Ruby was not surprised.

"This is normal, he still has poison in his body that is still attacking his internal organs, but as long as

he has a breath left, he can be saved."

She was so sure of herself, when Layton saw this, he felt relieved.

As they spoke, they had already walked into the room where Raphael was, followed closely by Levi.

On the bed, Raphael's physique was indeed worse than when Ruby left, his face was so white that you

could almost see the blood beneath his skin, his lips were dry as if they had no moisture left, his eyes

were deeply sunken, and the bases of his eyes were blue and black, it was almost as if a demon had

sucked all the essence out of them.

Ruby's brow furrowed and without saying a word, she immediately checked his pulse.

Noticing that his breath was too weak to use the antidote directly, she pondered for a moment and took

out her silver needle to apply the needle.

By the time the set of needle was completed, she looked as if she had been fished out of the water and

was covered in sweat.

Looking felt heartbroken, hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her bare forehead.

Ruby checked his pulse again and let out a long breath before taking out the antidote and

administering it to him.

"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.
