Chapter 455 Hallie
At this point, the corners of Ruby's mouth curled up in a sarcastic smile.
"If not, how can you put a long line to catch a big fish?"
Levi's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had figured out something: "Are you trying to lure Benjamin out of
the shadows?"
"That's right." Ruby snapped her fingers, "Since Benjamin has made such a big move, even going so
far as to create a potion that he wants to inflict on me, then this failure will definitely not stop there. I will
pretend that the potion has side effects and that I have lost memory, forgetting that he is behind this
matter, so that he will be complacent and will always reveal his weakness."
"And why do you pretend you've forgotten the art of healing?"
"If I simply forget a part of my previous memories, I may not be able to convince Benjamin completely,
and he will have scruples, instead he will not be able to act easily, but if I forget my medical skills, it will
be different. On the one hand, I can only show that something is really wrong with me if I forget a few
very important things, on the other hand, the reason why Benjamin wants to take me away is that he
also covets this skill of mine in medicine and wants to use it for him, since this is the case, then I will
simply pretend to forget, so that he will definitely sulk and act as soon as possible, and only in this way
will he reveal his intention."
At that, Levi raised his eyebrows, "So you came here to pry?"
Ruby nodded, "I don't think he will let go of such a good opportunity, since he knows that I am looking
around for medicine, he will certainly seize the opportunity to bring me within his control, in short, this
institute must have something wrong with it."
Levi felt the same way: "That's right, I think that Jason is very problematic, maybe the person behind
him is Benjamin."
His brow furrowed again.
"But isn't it a bit too risky for you to put your life on the line like that? How can you make such a rash
decision without telling me anything? What would you have me do if something goes wrong?"
At his questioning, Ruby froze and, knowing that she was in the wrong, she had to make a pleasing
face.
"I have no other choice but to solve the problem as soon as possible. I can't keep being watched by
Benjamin in the shadows, so I can't be on guard, and I don't know what kind of mess I'm going to make
again."
With that, she moved closer to Levi and took the initiative to get closer, her tender fingers pulling on his
cufflinks.
"I know you're worried about me, in fact I feel guilty seeing you and Olivia in such anxiety. Don't worry,
I'll make it up to you and Olivia when it's completely over."
Levi understood her reasons for doing so, but he was just still worried about her safety, and upon
hearing this, his face changed before he asked in a stern voice, "How do you plan to compensate me?"
This was a question that Ruby was unable to answer for a moment.
Seeing this, Levi sighed helplessly and took her hand.
"No matter what happens in the future, you can't hide it from me anymore, do you know how worried I
am?"
Ruby nodded and smiled with hooked lips, "I think only if you all believe that I really have lost my
memory, Benjamin will believe that I am really affected by that injection and that something is wrong,
and that you didn't go against Benjamin, he will really think that I have forgotten that he is the real
mastermind behind this, and only when he drops his guard is when I seize the opportunity."
Despite what he said, Levi always felt his heart palpitating.
Moreover, now that both of them were deep in the hinterland, he was afraid that if something were to
happen, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
At this point, Ruby realized something and asked him with a curious face, "But how did you know that I
was faking?"
She was obviously pretending to be serious and hardly showed any flaws.
Levi raised his eyebrows and gave her a sidelong glance before saying, "You didn't reveal any flaw, but
since all the tests didn't find anything wrong with you, then the only possibility is that you really don't
have any problem, so the memory loss you are talking about now is all faked. I didn't expect you'd be
so foolish as to admit it immediately."
Ruby: "......"
So he was testing her!
But it was good to tell him, so she didn't have to play dumb and save a lot of trouble, but ......
"Even if you know, you still have to pretend you don't know, otherwise we'll be exposed."
Of course Levi knew this and raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead, "I know, otherwise we
both would be in trouble."
After all, they were now deep in the enemy camp, and if they let the other side notice anything at this
point, they would probably be swallowed alive.
"You came here because you think Benjamin is the real boss behind this institute?" Levi asked again.
Ruby nodded: "Yeah, after all, only Benjamin would be eager to control me in the palm of his hand, and
with my memory loss, apart from you, he would be the one most anxious."
There was sarcasm in her tone and her eyes were cool.
"But at the moment, it doesn't look like he should be here."
Just as the two were talking, suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
The two looked at each other, their faces both turning serious.
There was a moment of silence before Levi took the lead and walked to the door, asking in a deep
voice, "Who is there?"
Soon a woman's voice came from outside, "I'm Hallie, a member of the Institute, here to deliver your
things."
Levi turned back and glanced at Ruby, who nodded, before he opened the door. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Soon, a hot woman with curly hair that accentuated her style appeared at the door.
When she saw Levi, she was stunned for a moment, and her eyes stared straight at him for a long time
without looking away.
Levi was sick of being stared at like that, so he frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "Something
wrong?"
Hallie returned to her senses and raised her eyebrows before saying, "Where is Miss Harold? How
come she's not here?"
Although Levi was very handsome, she now was wishing to become Benjamin's woman, so even
though she was stunned by this man, she was still reserved.
