Chapter 406 Bail
This sleep was long and when she woke up, it was already dark.
Looking out the window at the night, her head was foggy and her reactions were slow for a moment before she remembered that she had returned from Laboratory Seven.
“You are up.” At that moment, a low voice sounded beside her, “Thirsty? Would you like some water?”
She froze and turned around in surprise, only to find that Levi was leaning on his cheeks and looking down at her, his gaze clear and bright.
“Dazed from sleep? Why don’t you say anything?” Seeing that she only stared at him blankly and did not say anything, Levi hooked his lips and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, bringing her into his arms.
Ruby did not refuse, and obediently pressed herself against his chest, listening to his steady, strong heartbeat, her hazy head slowly clearing.
“I am not thirsty.” She spoke softly, her voice laced with the rasp of a freshly awakened sleep, “How is Raphael?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Levi raised eyebrows, her figure reflected in his pupils, teasingly saying, “Isn’t it a bit inappropriate that my woman is actually concerned about another man once she wakes up from a nap?”
Seeing him teasing her, Ruby gave him a blank look without good humour, “I’m asking you a question.”
Levi smiled good-naturedly, knowing her worry, stopped teasing her and answered truthfully, “He is already fine, I’ve fed him medicine twice, and he didn’t thrown up again, and his face looks better than before.”
He said, raised his hand and ruffled her hair, his fingers gently stroked the side of her face: “Don’t worry, it’s already fine, if you’re sleepy, just sleep longer, Raphael has Layton watching over there, don’t worry.”
“Okay.” Ruby felt relieved and didn’t rush to get up, so she lazily curled up in his arms.
“How’s it going over at the Williamson’s?” She asked coldly.
Levi smiled, confident and certain: “It’s on the verge of bankruptcy, now the Williamson’s capital is being frozen, there is no way to come up with a huge amount of default money, and I have already instructed all the banks, none of them dare to lend money to it now. Many of its projects have come to a halt.”
Ruby was not at all surprised by this result.
Everything was in her expectation.
“Has Wyon sent anyone to see how Raphael is doing these days?” She asked again after a moment’s thought.
Levi snorted, “He is not in the police station, how can he spare time to care for his son? I thought it would be possible for him to get out, but it would take some effort, but what I didn’t expect was that no one would help him. He is in prison, so the Williamson family is in a mess. There is always a day of retribution, and now he deserves it for bad things he has done before.”
Ruby agreed: “When I think of him being able to poison his own son, I don’t think it’s too much to ask that he die in it, even if he does, but it would be good enough to let him die so easily.”
“So what are you going to do about the Williamson’s? Do you leave it alone and let it fend for itself, or do you simply give the final blow?”
Ruby thought about it and stuck to her previous idea.
“Let’s leave it alone for now. What exactly should we do, let Raphael make his own decision when he wakes up. After all, he has given a lot to the Williamson’s over the years, only that his father can’t see it.”
The two men got together and chatted for a while before there was a knock at the door.
Levi glanced at the clock above his bed, got out of bed to open the door, “It should be Layton.”
Standing outside the door was, indeed, Layton.
He glanced towards the room, “Ruby, are you awake?”
Levi nodded, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
Layton’s brow furrowed, “Raphael is starting to get a fever.”
At that, Ruby froze and hurriedly rolled out of bed, “I’ll go and take a look.”
No sooner had she put on her slippers than she realized she was dressed in a bathrobe and froze again, “I….”
Levi cleared his throat and closed the door, isolating Layton from the door.
“You were sweating and sleeping restlessly, so I gave you a brief bath.”
Hearing his explanation, Ruby’s cheeks abruptly reddened and she stumbled in her speech, “Why don’t you …… why don’t you ask someone else to come?”
Levi raised his eyebrows, “Josie isn’t here, who else can I ask?”
Ruby: “……”
She choked, not knowing what to say for a moment, her face hot, all the way to the back of her ears.
This look made Levi want to laugh, but he was afraid that if he laughed, it would make her even more embarrassed, so he clenched his fist with one hand and put it against his lips to hide it.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a shower, and besides, we’re a couple, it is okay.”
That being said, Ruby’s cheeks were still hot.
She bit the corner of her lip lightly, inexplicably feeling pretentious, yet she couldn’t help but stare at him, “You, you go out, I want to change.”
The more she did so, the more pleasant Levi’s mood became.
Considering that the situation was not suitable for lovemaking, he had some regrets and could only break the atmosphere by nodding in good faith.
“Okay, you change, I’ll go and see how Raphael is doing first.”
With that, he turned and exited the room.
Ruby stood still, raising her hand to touch her burning cheek, some shame and embarrassment inexplicably floating under her eyes.
She took a moment to push down the strange emotion, hurriedly changed her clothes and hurried to the next door.
Raphael’s condition wasn’t too bad, just feverish. She checked his pulse and then put her mind at ease.
“It’s fine, it should be the antidote working in his body, it’s just a normal fever. When the residual poison clears up, he’ll be fine.”
She looked at the time, thought about it and said, “He should wake up tonight, it’s been a few days of nutritional fluids, it’s time to give him some food, mainly fluids, and not too much, take it slow, he’ll be back to normal by tomorrow or the day after.”
“Good.” Layton responded.
……
At the same time, inside the police station, Wyon was still being held in a detention cell.
At that moment, a police officer suddenly pushed in the door.
“Wyon Williamson, you can go now.”
Wyon, who was originally keeping his head down, froze at the words and looked up in seeming disbelief, “I …… can go now?”
The police officer gave an impatient “tsk”: “Can’t understand human language? Someone has come to bail you out, so hurry up and leave, or I’ll close the door.”
Hearing that someone had come to bail him out, Wyon felt incredulous.
And as he walked out of the police station and saw the man at the door, his brow furrowed abruptly.
He only saw Lewis greet him respectfully, “Chairman Williamson, our president asks you to get in.”
