Chapter 52 The Miraculous Ointment
When the ointment touched his skin, Kevin only felt coolness on his face and a faint sweet fragrance that smelled pleasant, and the tingling sensation disappeared.
“Sis, this medicine feels pretty good, I don’t feel any pain in my face. Where did you get it?”
Kevin applied it to his face before he looked up excitedly to see Ruby.
The redness on his face had faded quite a bit, and she estimated that two more applications of medicine would heal him completely.
“Remember to apply it once in the morning and once at night, for three days.” Ruby admonished before she began to settle scores, “Tell me, what happened inside the Phantom Colour?”
She had already watched the surveillance and knew what had happened, she just wanted to verify it again from Kevin’s mouth.
Especially what happened inside the guardhouse.
There was no surveillance there, and Ruby had no way of knowing what had happened. Kevin himself was skilled in kung fu and was not so badly beaten, there was definitely a reason she did not know about.
Kevin’s face changed and unnaturally he avoided Ruby’s gaze as he replied sheepishly, “I’m just trying to remain my reputation. Every time I come back I always follow a group of friends to a bar, I didn’t expect something to happen this time.”
“What?” Ruby raised an eyebrow, still staring at him.
Kevin felt as if his secret was seen through, raised his hand to scratch his head and deliberately played dumb: “Nothing else really, inside the guardhouse several of them beat me, and I don’t know why they …”
“Kevin, I’m not stupid. If you won’t tell me voluntarily, I can go and find out, but if I find out myself, it is different, understand?”
Ruby was a little angry.
She didn’t need Kevin to charge into battle for her. Didn’t she work so hard to protect her family from being bullied?
However, she couldn’t even protect Kevin who was under her nose.
When she thought of Kevin lying in front of her at that time, Ruby felt self-condemnation and more than that, anger.
There’s definitely more than just Susan going on here, there’s someone else behind it.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Susan is not yet capable of that. Ruby has already checked the drug on Kevin’s body, which is a new type of drug that is very harmful. A small amount of it may damage a person’s nervous system, and is a forbidden drug in every country around the world.
Ruby had been exposed to this drug when she was in F Country, but she did not expect it to appear in the territory of H Country now.
She now strongly suspected that Kevin had offended someone while in the capital and had been deliberately set up.
“Sister, I, I’m really fine, you …” Kevin lowered his head, not daring to look Ruby in the eyes.
Ruby’s patience was limited, and she raised her hand to look at the time before she spoke icily, “Five minutes, you can either confess on your own initiative or I will personally go and find your tutor. I promised Mom that I would protect you and not let anything happen to you, and now that you almost died. Kevin, don’t you provoke my patience.”
Kevin panicked, he could see that Ruby was really angry, and did not dare to continue to hide, he spoke: “Sister, I’m really fine. That man is very powerful and has a lot of influence in the capital, you can’t fight him. I promise you, I will be careful in the future, and absolutely nothing like this will happen again, will you believe me for once?”
Ruby pursed her lips and looked at Kevin coldly.
“Yes, it’s the Powell family, the Powell family of the capital.” Kevin eventually compromised, lowering his head and sullenly revealing the person who really wanted him dead.
When he finished, he subconsciously clenched his fist, a little angry in his heart.
He was able to defend himself if he had any skill.
But, he couldn’t even protect himself now, how could he protect Ruby?
This feeling of powerlessness made Kevin very frustrated and despised himself even more.
Ruby narrowed her eyes, remembering this Powell family.
It was impossible for her to go to the capital for the time being, but there were some contacts on Vincent’s side, so it should not be difficult to find out.
Since they dare to touch her people, they have to be ready to pay the price.
“Rest well here and put away the ointment I gave you.” Ruby rose, raised her hand and flicked the hem of her coat, and turned away with a cold face straight away.
Kevin looked at her pitifully and watched as she walked to the door before he opened his mouth aggressively and shouted, “Sister.”
“Be a dude if you want to, your level is bad.” Ruby paused in her footsteps, dropped a sentence and then coldly went out.
Kevin felt hit and covered his chest with a look of distress.
His sister is right, he really is scum and needs to continue to grow mature.
Ruby went out of the ward, and outside Jared was waiting with bated breath: “Miss Harold, right? Do you mind talking?”
“I do mind.” Ruby recognized Jared, someone close to Levi, who she doesn’t really want to get into touch, let alone talk too much with him.
Jared choked on her direct words and looked at Ruby with a hard face, “There’s no need to be so heartless. At least we’ve met once.”
“So?” Ruby raised her eyebrows and looked at Jared with indifference.
“Here’s the thing, I see you’re doing such a good job with your surgery, do you have any interest …”
“No.” Ruby didn’t wait for Jared to finish before she directly interrupted him, and then walked out of the clinic without looking back.
That back can be quite ruthless.
Jared’s expression was dull as he looked at her back, remembering that Ruby didn’t seem to look like this the few times he saw her in his memory, but on second thought, Kevin had been so badly injured and almost lost his life, it was quite normal for Ruby to be in a bad mood.
After reassuring himself, Jared ran in to see Kevin again.
Since his sister is not good to deal with, it might be a good idea to start with the brother.
And, once he entered the door and saw Kevin’s face, Jared’s face changed and he looked at Kevin incredulously, “Your face …”
“Even if my face is damaged, I am still good looking, don’t talk to me, I don’t want to talk with you.” Kevin raised his hand to cover his face, deciding to make an effort to stabilize his dude persona.
Jareds: “…”
These two siblings really live up to their name.
“How did your face heal so quickly?” Jared ignored Kevin’s remark and came forward, looking at Kevin’s already mostly healed face, still with a look of disbelief.
With an injury of this magnitude and severe soft tissue contusions, he could not recover to this extent without 10 days and half a month.
When he came to see Kevin this morning, he still looked like a pig, and now he’s healed?
Jared felt that he had really seen a ghost.
“That’s right, I was born with a beautiful face, and God can’t bear to see my face ruined, so …”
“That’s enough.” Jared instantly felt a headache and didn’t want to listen to Kevin.
He thought about it and felt that it must be Ruby’s problem. He didn’t expect that she was a good surgeon and could actually make medicine? If this ointment used by Kevin could be produced in large quantities …
