Chapter 242 Showdown
When these words came out, Levi's pupils suddenly tightened viciously.
"What did you say?" His tightly strained voice became hoarse, so repressed that people felt like they
were about to gasp for air when they heard it.
Chester naturally knew and how shocking this news was, like a bomb that had been dropped into a
pool of water and caused uproar.
At that moment, he licked the corner of his mouth and repeated dryly, "That woman in the bar five years
ago, that's, that's Ruby!"
Then, as if he had remembered something, he hastily added.
"By the way, Mr. Levi, when I found that bar owner before today, the man was muttering something
about why we all came to ask him about that day, I felt strange, so I asked one more question, only to
find out that Ruby had already asked him in advance, and said that she had already found out about
that man ......"
The implication was that Ruby was already aware at this moment that the man from five years ago was
him.
Levi's hand squeezed the phone hard, the bruises on the back of his hand bulging, the corners of his
thin lips pursed into a tight line, his angular face filled with a chill.
He did not say a word, his eyes flashed through countless emotions.
How could that woman from five years ago actually be her!
The woman he had been looking for so long was actually by his side all along!
At that moment, his eyes were covered with a complex colour, his eyes closed and he raised his hand
to cover his forehead.
"...... Mr. Levi, this matter ......" On the other end of the phone, Chester could not help but be curious,
wanting to ask him what he planned to do.
As a result, before his words were out, the phone was hung up.
"..
.... hey?! Mr. Levi?" Hearing the disconnection, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then sighed
quietly.
Who would have thought that the fate between Levi and Ruby had been tied up five years ago!
The five-year old lawsuit should have come to an end, right?
As for how Mr. Levi would explain to his Ruby, that was his own business!
With that in mind, his errand was successfully completed and he relaxed, whistling as he boarded the
plane.
......
At the other end, Ruby's villa.
Levi hung up the phone and motionless for a long time.
In this short period of time, it was as if he had experienced long years, as if he had gone through these
five years all over again.
It was his fault for what had happened back then, and for that he had always held a grudge.
He used to think in his midnight dreams about what the woman he had held in his arms and possessed
so fiercely back then would have been like.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he could not come up with a clue.
Even with Amelia by his side for the past few years, he had never had that real feeling.
When he found out that she was a fake and not the same person, he was angry, in a trance, but more
than that, he was relieved.
He had never been able to feel the emotions he should have felt for her, and had even blamed himself
for it for a long time.
Fortunately, it was not her.
And with that came a deeper torment and dilemma.
The deepening of his feelings for Ruby made it difficult for him to resist and he fell into them willingly.
But the guilt he felt for the woman he had possessed back then also grew deeper and deeper.
These opposing feelings were tangled in his heart, always leaving him with a knot, and when he faced
Ruby, he sometimes did not know whether to go forward or retreat.
But now, when he suddenly learnt that Ruby was the same woman from that night five years ago, he
didn't know how he should feel to accept this fact.
Was he happy? Naturally, he was.
He had never denied his feelings for Ruby and he did not want to deny it.
Originally he had struggled with what to do with such feelings, but now he didn't have to worry about it;
she was the same woman he had been back then, he hadn't loved the wrong person, and he didn't
have to struggle with it anymore.
But the guilt came immediately afterwards like a tidal wave.
He hadn't forgotten how resistant Ruby had been to skin-to-skin contact, and he was aware of the Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
damage she had done that night.
What happened that night was her nightmare!
What would she think of him? How should he face her after he had done something like that to hurt
her?
For a moment, his feelings were all mixed up, and the more he thought about it, the more irritated he
became, and the more he didn't know what to do.
Although she looked no different from her usual self today, there was still something different when he
looked closely, especially the way she looked at him, which was vaguely complicated.
What to do? Should he take the initiative to tell her the truth? Would she forgive him when she found
out?
His brow knitted and tightened, and his handsome face was filled with gloom.
Just then, the door to the room opened and Ruby walked in.
"You woke up so soon?"
She was holding ointment in her hand, obviously coming in to administer medicine to him.
Levi took a glance at her, and his eyes then fell on her beautiful face, his thin lips pursed and he
nodded.
Ruby was preoccupied at the moment, so she didn't notice anything different about him, walked to the
bed and handed him the ointment.
"This ointment has to be applied every two hours, so since you're awake, apply it yourself."
Levi did not object and nodded gently.
When he took the ointment from her hand, his fingertips gently slid over her palm and immediately
noticed that her body seemed to be electrified and trembled gently.
His heart suddenly ached viciously, as if he had been hit hard by something, painful.
Was she averse to his touch?
This thought came to his mind, suddenly making his mood even more dull. He pursed the corners of his
lips tightly, finally unable to bear it, and jerked his head up towards her.
"Ruby, I have something to say ......"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Ruby sit down beside his bed, slightly distant from him, and
the expression on her face was not very resistant.
"You have something to say?" Her clear, round eyes stared at him, looking as normal, "It just so
happens that I also have something to say, so let me say it first."
Levi was stunned, hesitated, and had to nod, "Okay."
Ruby took a deep breath, and when she saw him staring at her, she suddenly became nervous, and
her eyes shifted for a moment before she said, "You can apply the medicine first, just listen to me while
you do so."
Levi hesitated for a moment and nodded obediently, "Okay."
He vaguely guessed that what she was going to say next would be about what happened five years
ago. lightnoveldaily.com
