Chapter 243 Are You Willing to Forgive Me?
He had not guessed wrongly, Ruby was indeed going to tell him that.
Although this matter was very difficult to talk about, she had to say it for the sake of Olivia, she couldn't
drag it out like this any longer.
Thinking about this, she did her best to ignore the flash of discomfort in her heart, her bright eyes
suppressing tension as she finally opened her mouth in a soft voice.
"Levi, I've told you about Olivia's father, but that's not the whole story, today I want to tell you
everything, do you want to hear it?"
When he heard these words, Levi, who had always been calm and collected, had a rare shake in his
hand as he was applying the medicine.
His eyes were half-lidded, and he dared not look into her eyes for the first time, and gave a nod.
Ruby them told him the story five years ago.
"...... I was so scared and desperate at the time, I had no room to fight back, I could only bear the pain.
That night was a nightmare that I can’t forget for the rest of my life. I have been looking for him, I want
to ask him why he did that, I want an explanation."
Finally she said it out.
The wound that had been straddling the bottom of the heart was exposed in blood, but it was not as
painful as Ruby expected, instead there was a vague feeling of relief and relaxation.
She gently exhaled a breath, and then her eyes looked straight towards Levi, gazing into his eyes
unblinkingly.
"Levi, where were you that night five years ago?"
Levi was silent, when he heard the words she had just said, his heart felt like it was being clutched by a
large invisible hand, kneading hard and hurting.
Just by listening to her account so calmly, he could feel the fear and despair she felt at that moment.
At this moment, he really wanted to slap his face twice!
Even if he had no choice, even if he had already lost his mind, how could he hurt her like that, how
could he be such an asshole!
Seeing that he didn't make a sound, his eyes still half-lidded, unable to see his emotions, Ruby thought
he didn't want to answer, just wanted to escape, and the light under her eyes darkened.
In fact, before she came in, she had thought that as long as he admitted what he had done, as long as
he gave a reasonable explanation, she would be able to forgive him.
All the hatred that had been raging had become tasteless in the face of him.
She didn't know why, but there was just a vague sense of trust, a feeling that perhaps everything was a
misunderstanding.
But now, he wouldn't say anything.
Just as her eyes were about to go completely dark, suddenly, Levi lifted his head, his face grave as he
looked at her, his eyes deep and complex, with a touch of shame mixed in.
"That day five years ago, I received an assignment from my superiors, and was ordered to come to the
TM Institute in F Country to destroy a hazardous toxin, but it turned out that somehow word got out,
and the TM Institute had prepared in advance and set a trap, my men and I were attacked, and in the
fight, I accidentally got poisoned, and then I was chased, and escaped all the way out, and in order to
avoid the people who were chasing me, I hid into a bar."
When he spoke bluntly about the past, Ruby staggered for a moment, the last glimmer of light in her
eyes did not go out, like a small flame swaying in the wind, and she just stared at him.
"At that time, I just wanted to find a secluded place to hide, the bar with its loud music and chaotic
environment was the best place to hide, but what I didn't expect was that the poison in my body kicked
in right then and there, the side effect of that poison was ......"
At this point, he paused and took a split second before speaking again, his voice even lower than it had
been earlier.
"It was lust, even if I had good self-control, there was no way to resist the poison in my body, moreover,
at that time my mind was completely confused, reason and everything seemed to have flown to the sky.
The toxin was so strong that I simply could not care or control myself, so I lost control ......"
The facts were already obvious.
Levi's eyes were full of pain, for the first time in his life, he felt so guilty and remorseful, and when he
spoke again, his voice was even hoarse.
"I'm sorry, Ruby, I really couldn't control myself at that time, I know all this may seem like an excuse to
you, but I really didn't want to hurt you. By the time I reacted to what I had done, everything had
already happened, at that time I only had one thought, that was to marry you, I had made a vow that I
would be responsible for you. In this life, there would never be another woman, even though I knew it Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
was overbearing and even unreasonable, but other than that, I didn't know how else to make up for the
mistake I had made."
He had always been a man of words, and this was the first time Ruby heard him say so much in one
breath.
She didn't say anything, she just looked at him steadily, as if she wanted to see him through as a
person, her gaze peeking through her pupils, all the way into the bottom of his heart.
It turned out that this was the truth back then.
So it was all a misunderstanding, a terrible and helpless misunderstanding.
He did he mean to hurt her; it was all, by mistake.
In this instant, the nightmare that had been weighing on her heart for years seemed to dissipate
silently.
The sun shone through, illuminating a corner that had been shaded for five years. She abruptly curled
her lips and smiled.
Levi was in a state of unprecedented apprehension and anxiety at first.
Now that he saw her smile, he was stunned, surprised, and confused.
After a few seconds, his voice was dry as he asked, "Ruby, what are you smiling at?"
Ruby raised hers eyebrows, lowering her eyes to sweep over his tightly clenched fists, looking at his
fingertips that were so tense that they were white, the smile at the corners of her mouth deepened.
"Haven't you always been calm and self-possessed? Tsk, there was even a day when you were
controlled by toxins, what a rare sight, actually let me come across it."
At these words, Levi was stunned again, and only after a moment did he ask her hoarsely, "Ruby, you
are believing my words?"
Ruby took the ointment in his hand and covered it, then tossed it back and forth in her hand.
"What? Do you mean by that that I shouldn't believe what you say and should express doubt?"
Levi raised his hand to touch his nose and said in a muffled voice, "That's not what I meant."
It was a rare sight to see him looking like he had done something wrong, and as the knot in her heart
was lifted, she was in the mood to admire his appearance.
Seeing that, Levi hesitated, moved slightly closer and cautiously asked her, "Ruby, you are willing to
forgive me?" lightnoveldaily.com
