Chapter 284 You're Begging the Wrong Person
The next day, Ruby slept comfortably and woke up at sunrise.
Looking at the bedside beside her, which was already empty, she woke up, her sleepy eyes only
becoming clear.
Turning out of bed, she stepped out on the soft carpet without her shoes and walked to the window,
pulling back the curtains with a swish.
In a few moments, the dazzling sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Ruby squinted her eyes, bathed in the sunlight, and felt warm.
Knowing that she was not going to leave the capital yet, Reggie renewed the presidential suite she had
previously stayed in, telling her to stay in peace and not to worry about anything.
It was located in the busiest part of the capital's city centre, and she stood high above the city,
overlooking the traffic and the hustle and bustle.
At that moment, the door to the room opened and Levi walked in, "Awake?"
Ruby turned around and saw his long body leaning against the door, his posture lazy and pleasing to
the eye with his handsome face.
Ruby nodded, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
Levi raised his eyebrows, "I've been ready for you for a long time, come out."
The Presidential Suite had its own separate kitchenette. Ruby walked out and was surprised to see the
breakfast already made on the small bar.
"Did you make these?"
Levi sat down opposite her, "Is there a third person here?"
He handed her the chopsticks, "Eat, or it will soon get cold."
Seeing that he wanted to eat with her, Ruby blinked, "Didn't you eat first?"
Levi nodded, answering, "I have been waiting for you."
At these words, Ruby remained as usual on her face, but her heart was warm.
Only halfway through the meal, there was a sudden knock at the door.
Thinking that it was the room service staff, Ruby was about to open the door, but she was stopped by
Levi.
"You eat your food, I'll go."
Having said that, he took a step forward.
Ruby didn't care, but soon, she heard Levi's somewhat unexpected voice.
"Dr. Moore? What are you doing here?"
At the sound of his voice, Ruby froze, got up and walked over, only to find to her surprise that not only
Dr. Moore had come, but also two other people.
One was Matteo, whom she had saved earlier.
There was also a young man, an old friend she had befriended in the capital many years ago - Layton.
After a moment of surprise, she quickly regained her composure and greeted Dr. Moore first, then
swept her eyes at Matteo without saying a word, and finally looked at Layton.
"It's been a long time."
Layton smiled with a familiar look and a gentle gaze, " It's been a long time, Ruby."
He called out very intimately, and Levi could not help but give him an extra look, but did not say
anything.
He knew that these three people had found their way here and were coming for Ruby, so he did not say
much and just stood guard.
"I was worried that you had gone back to Sea City, but luckily I asked around with Minister Holmes in
advance to find out that you were here."
The atmosphere was awkward for a while. Seeing this, Dr. Moore immediately greeted Ruby with a
smile.
Ruby nodded, "I've just finished my work, I'll go back after two days."
At the end of the sentence, she invited them in.
A few people sat down on the sofa, and at this point, Matteo solemnly thanked her.
"Miss Harold, thanks to your kind heart and wonderful skills, you saved me from the ghostly gate.
With that, he added a grateful smile.
"I heard that my wife and children were also saved by you, I am so grateful that I don't know what to
say, you are the great benefactor of our Marsh family, Miss Harold, whatever you want, at your
command, I will definitely satisfy you!"
No sooner had his words left his lips than Dr. Moore cleared his throat as if feigning a cough and gave
him a wink.
"Matteo, that's superficial, Ruby did not care about that."
From what he knew about Ruby, Ruby had never cared about any money, let alone lacking in these,
and he was afraid that if Matteo said this, it would make Ruby sick.
At this point, Layton also smiled, and meekly agreed.
"Yes, she has never been interested in such extraneous things. She saved your Marsh family partly
because she was entrusted by Minister Holmes, and partly because of her own heart as a healer."
The two men both spoke, and Ruby, who had been expressionless, didn't let the scene get too
awkward, making a couple of careless remarks.
"That's not true, I'm not a transcendentalist, and who wouldn't like money?"
Then, she gave Matteo a glance.
"But Mr. Marsh, you don’t need to take it to heart. Layton is right, I save people and it has nothing to do
with the Marsh family, so you can rest easy."
Matteo smiled, his expression clearly carrying ingratiating hints.
"Miss Harold, you are really kind! Your temperament is unique!"
Ruby didn't bother to his words, raising her eyes and looking straight over, asking a direct question.
"You've only just recovered from illness and you've rushed back to the capital, and you've invited both
Layton and Dr. Moore, what's the purpose?"
Matteo looked at her cold look, his heart was uneasy, but he could only open his mouth.
He laughed first, stiffly, before gathering the courage to show his cards.
"Miss Harold, you are really smart and straightforward, then I will be straightforward. Miss Harold, since
you have saved so many people in our Marsh family, you are our Marsh family's life-saving benefactor,
but please save my father."
At these words, the atmosphere froze in an instant.
Ruby wasexpressionless, and there was no emotion in her eyes as she looked at him. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Matteo was so scared by her stare that her heart was pounding, and he didn't even dare to look directly
at her, so he simply eyed Layton and Dr. Moore cautiously.
When the latter two saw this, they were about to speak for him, but Ruby opened his mouth first.
"If that's what you came to me for, then I'm telling you, you're begging the wrong person, I'm not going
to save him."
When Matteo heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Miss Harold, you are so skilled in medicine, how could you be the wrong person? As long as you offer
help, my father's illness will definitely be cured! You have saved so many people in our Marsh family,
you can help, right? Don't worry, as long as you're willing to save my father, you can have whatever you
want, I will satisfy you!"
