Chapter 168 Sudden Silence
Chapter 168 Sudden Silence
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ruby heard the words and after a moment of bewilderment,
she gave Levi a blank glance.
But Levi looked at her seriously and was about to speak, but his phone suddenly rang, interrupting his
words.
Levi frowned at the caller and saw that it was Chester calling before he answered the phone with a
black face, "What's up?"
"Mr. Levi, today another group of forces from outside the country have entered Sea City, all of them
ranked high on the hunter list, in the recent month, hundreds of hunters have entered Sea City one
after another, the highest ranked is Lagus. Mr. Levi, what exactly is it about Sea City that attracts them
so much? This time there are actually so many people coming all at once that even the FBI has been
alarmed and is recently arranging for people to come over to H Country." Chester couldn't help but
speak up about the situation in Sea City today.
Levi gave Ruby a thoughtful glance and did not reply.
"Mr. Levi, what are we going to do? The new Colonel Sean Grant doesn't care about these things at all,
and has instructed us not to continue to keep an eye on those people, just let them move around in
Sea City." Chester added when he did not receive response from Levi.
"Got it." Levi hung up the phone straight away.
"A group of hunters have recently arrived in Sea City, and I reckon they're coming for your
grandmother." Only after Levi hung up the phone did he look at Ruby with a serious expression.
"What?" Ruby raised her eyebrows and looked at Levi.
"Your grandmother's identity is a high level secret, I can't tell you exactly what her identity is, but one
thing is for sure, she has a rather important piece of information on her body, which everyone at home
and abroad wants to get. As long as this information stays in her hands, sooner or later she will attract
the top ten people on the hunter list to come out and kill her. She is in a very dangerous position now."
Levi thought that Ruby did not know the seriousness of the situation nowadays, and seriously
explained to her.
"What do you want to say!?" Ruby asked.
"I need to stay at your home and protect your grandmother close twenty-four hours a day in case of an
accident." Levi answered Ruby in a straightforward manner.
The corners of Ruby's mouth twitched, this man had actually found such a grand reason for staying
overnight.
She shook her head, gesturing to the sofa, "You can sleep on the sofa if you want to stay."
Ruby's room had a small two-seater sofa, which was not particularly large, so a petite girl can sleep on
it, but it was a bit difficult for Levi, who was tall, to sleep on it.
Levi glanced at it and his eyes fell on the floor: "No need, I can sleep on the floor.
"
"As you like." Ruby stretched her hand indifferently.
She went inside and got a new set of quilt and threw it to Levi.
Levi laid down directly on the floor, the movement was so skilful that Ruby was amazed: "Do you
always play on the floor? Why are you so skilled?"
"When I go out on missions, I often have to sleep on the ground, many times I don't even have a quilt.
You can go to sleep, don't worry about me." Levi smiled and replied casually.
Ruby was silent for a while, and said nothing.
Ruby was more or less uncomfortable with the extra person inside.
The atmosphere was quiet and harmonious as one lay on the bed and the other on the floor, moving in
neat and unison as they looked at the ceiling, neither speaking.
It was only after a long time that Levi spoke softly, "I wasn't joking just now, I was serious."
"What!?" Ruby heard Levi speak and did not react at once, subconsciously asking.
After asking, she regretted it, because she had already thought of what Levi meant by this statement.
She pursed her lips and fell silent.
"It's nothing." Levi tugged at the corner of his mouth, not continuing the conversation.
A night without words.
The next day when Ruby got up early, Levi heard the commotion and jumped up from the ground,
startling Ruby.
"Did I wake you up?" She looked at the wary looking Levi and took a step back before speaking.
Only when Levi heard Ruby's voice did he come back to his senses and realize that he was in Ruby's
room and not in the field on a mission.
His originally tense body suddenly relaxed and he looked at Ruby, "No. I'm used to performing
missions, and my sleep has been very light."
"Then you clean up. I'll go and get breakfast ready." Ruby nodded and didn't know what to say.
She went straight out the door.
It was only when breakfast was half done that she came back as an afterthought to the fact that she
seemed to have come out before she had washed up.
Thinking that, Ruby could not help but slap her forehead.
"Ruby, you are up early." Cara was old and had less sleep, she got up early every morning and came
out to see Ruby busy inside the kitchen. She first looked at the door of Ruby's room before asking with
a smile. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Grandma, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you." Ruby didn't answer, opening the fridge in a
rummage for ingredients.
"I am not picky about food." Cara waved her hand.
At this time Levi happened to come out of Ruby's room, and he didn't notice that Cara had already
come out, he asked Ruby, "Do you have my toiletries? If not, I'll go back next door and get ......
Grandma?"
"Levi, you want toiletries? I will go get them for you, there are new ones at home." Cara looked at Levi
and smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a line.
With a smile, she went to her room and in a short while came out with a brand new set of toiletries and
handed them to Levi.
Levi picked them up before turning around again and going back to Ruby's room.
Ruby felt that this time, she really could not explain it in any way.
"Ruby you and Levi really need to work harder so that before I die, I can see you two give me a great-
grandson." Only after watching Levi enter the room did Cara smilingly go over and give Ruby a speech.
Ruby looked at her grandmother, "Grandma, he and I have only been married for a few days, so even if
you urge, you're not in that much of a hurry, right?"
"I know in my own heart how long I can live, if you don't hurry up, I won't even be able to see it." Cara
couldn't help but give Ruby a blank look and said in an unpleasant manner.
Ruby was silent at her words.
She could guarantee that Zack would live for another 20 years, but she really couldn't guarantee that
for Cara.
The old lady's health was so poor, today she looked healthy, but she was only temporarily sustained by
her medication, and in a year's time at the most, she would be gone.
