Chapter 450 Stay Here
“Hello.” Levi, holding Ruby’s hand, nodded lightly in greeting and shook Jason’s extended hand.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Ruby nodded in response, then looked up to survey the high-tech building, her eyes full of suspicion.
Right now, she was playing the role of someone who had lost part of her memory and had still forgotten the art of healing, so there was nothing wrong with this reaction.
Jason smiled as he talked with Levi, while keeping a watchful eye on Ruby, with a few hints of scrutiny in the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this curious look on her face, she had really forgotten that she also knew about medical research.
With this in mind, he gestured towards the door and politely said, “Please come in, let’s sit down.”
“Good.” Levi nodded his head and walked in, leading Ruby inside.
The two were led directly to the living room where Jason ordered refreshments to be prepared, which were soon served.
“I’m afraid that you two are not used to drinking other things, so I’ve specially asked people to prepare tea in advance, and do you two drink tea?”
In the face of Jason’s politeness, Levi’s attitude was more casual, nodding with a light smile, “Thank you for your hospitality.”
“You were welcome.” Jason waved his hand and offered to make the two tea, then the conversation turned to business.
“I have heard that your wife has a strange illness? Like memory loss? I heard people talk about it at the time, but I’m not quite sure of the specifics. Mr. Finn, what is this all about?”
Speaking of this, Levi’s face changed slightly, stern and serious.
“Ruby has weird disease, surely you should know some before. Her body seems to be injected with a strange potions, but very few dosage, ingredients have not detected, so far, except in the memory loss and memory disorder symptoms, other aspects of the harm to the body is not informed. There is no treatment available in the country, so I will try my best to find a cure in a foreign laboratory.”
At those words, Jason’s brow furrowed in seriousness.
“Just from what you said, I can’t conclude what type of potion was injected into her body, and as you said, the ingredients of the potion are no longer detectable, so there is no point in dwelling on what exactly was injected into her body now, the best way to solve the problem at this point is to develop a new potion directly for the condition.”
Levi expressed his understanding, “So what’s next?”
Jason thought for a moment before saying, “Mr. Finn, for the sake of insurance and to be able to resolve your wife’s condition as soon as possible, let your wife stay here for this period of time and undergo a thorough examination first, after which we will carry out a series of treatments and studies based on her condition and diagnosis.”
Hearing these words, a dark flash passed through the pupils of both Ruby and Levi.
“This means that Ruby can’t leave the lab during this time, right?” Levi confirmed.
“That’s right.” Jason looked self-conscious, “After all, this is too far from the city centre, and if anything happens, we have no way of knowing or doing anything about it in the first place, so for safety’s sake, it would be better for Mrs. Finn not to leave here.”
As Ruby listened, her eyes flickered slightly and the corners of her mouth slowly raised a curve.
“Yeah, it’s quite fun here anyway, Levi, let’s do as requested.”
She spoke up and Jason was surprised to hear, “Mrs. Finn sounds like she’s interested in this place.”
Noticing the tentativeness in his words, Ruby did not hurry or panic, and smiled slightly.
“Yeah, I don’t know why, but I feel close to this place, like I’ve been here myself.”
Been here? Jason had been stationed here all along and naturally knew it couldn’t be.
The only possibility, then, was that the images in the furthest recesses of her memory overlapped somewhat with the scene here, which was what gave her the illusion.
Immediately, his face remained unchanged and he continued to look polite.
“That’s the best, to make Mrs. Finn feel close means that our place is good for your treatment and recovery. You two can rest assured that we will not neglect you here and will definitely take care of you both in every way.”
Levi eventually said nothing more, only nodding his head.
The two men were soon shown to the top floor of the building.
After getting down from the lift, Ruby discovered that the top floor of the place was all guest rooms.
To put it mildly, it was a bit like an inpatient hospital unit, but unlike the inpatient wards, it was much nicer, like a five-star hotel.
“Mr. Finn, Mrs. Finn, you two will be staying here for the time being, so if you need anything, you can always ask me, or anyone else in the Institute.”
Jason led the two to the room at the end of the corridor on the left, opened the door and smiled at them.
Ruby walked in first, looked around and found that it was like a presidential suite, the decoration and furnishings were very high-profile and luxurious, her eyebrows twitched slightly and she casually teased, “Mr. Jason, it seems that this institute of yours is very profitable, and the conditions here are good, it is really wealthy.”
Jason froze for a moment before he returned, “Because we want to welcome you, that’s why I had it specially decorated.”
After a couple of modest remarks, Jason left.
After closing the door, Levi first said to Ruby in a warm voice, “Ruby, please sit down for a while.”
After that, he began to make his rounds throughout the suite.
Ruby leaned against the bedroom door, both arms crossed and looped in front of her, watching his actions with good grace, asking knowingly, “What are you doing?”
Levi didn’t stop moving, didn’t answer immediately, and only after the entire suite had been searched once did he speak back, “See if there are any cameras or bugs or anything like that.”
Ruby raised her eyebrows, “So have you found it?”
Levi shook his head, “No.”
This result was entirely expected by Ruby.
If it had been her, she would have come in and rummaged through it too, but she didn’t think Jason would have done that.
Whether he was Benjamin’s man or not, he should have heard of Levi’s name, a lieutenant from District 7, how could he not have this sense of reconnaissance and counter-surveillance?
Fitting those things would be useless, and would also arouse their suspicion.
But now that they had stayed in the institute, it was not easy to get out, given the heavily guarded appearance of the outside.
