Chapter 37 Hypocrisy
This area of Fanjiang Road is the commercial center, the busiest downtown area of Sea City, with a very dense flow of people.
And this location of Ruby happened to be the quietest one in the middle of the downtown, because it was a high-end residential area with a very strict security system, so outsiders could not come in at all.
Only when she got closer did she see that there was indeed a woman lying on the ground, an old woman wearing a short grey jacket, and at that moment huddled on the ground, making little sound.
“Are you okay?” Ruby shouted tentatively, receiving no response.
She looked up and around, there was surveillance nearby and she didn’t have to worry about getting blackmailing.
The temperature in June in Sea City is very high, especially the ground temperature, eggs are able to bake when thrown on the ground.
She stepped forward and helped the old woman up, but when she got a look at her face, she couldn’t help but be surprised.
She can’t believe it’s an acquaintance.
Levi’s grandmother, Isabella.
At this time, her eyes were tightly closed, her face was blue, her lips were pale, and her breath seemed to be absent, as if she was about to die.
Ruby was only briefly taken aback before she grabbed her pulse.
Sudden myocardial infarction.
She had been in a coma for a bit too long, which should have been caused after the great stimulation, and if she had come a bit later, Isabella would probably die.
After determining the cause of the disease, Ruby didn’t dare to hesitate, hurriedly fished out the needle bag, drew three silver needles, peeled away the old woman’s clothes, and stabbed down the silver needles in her hand.
The end of the silver needle trembled gently. Ruby twisted the silver needle and fished out a white porcelain bottle from inside her pocket, poured a small reddish-brown pill out and stuffed it into the old woman’s mouth, slapping her hard on the back to make her swallow the pill.
Only after that was done did she pick the woman up off the floor.

On the hospital bed, Isabella slowly opened her eyes after a coughing fit.
All around her was white, and the familiar smell of sterile water between her nostrils reminded her that this was a hospital.
She’s not dead?
Her eyes glanced around inside the ward before landing on the girl sitting to the side looking down at her phone.
The sunlight fell on her body, making her look as if she was gilded with a layer of golden light, dazzling.
Isabella looked at her steadily for a while before recognizing that the girl in front of her was actually her grandson’s fiancée, that bumpkin Ruby of the Harold family.
The look of surprise she had been carrying was suddenly gone, but she had the disgusting feeling like having eaten a fly.
“How is it you?”
The old lady was not young, but her was full of energy, and she looked like she was really fine, looking at Ruby with a look of contempt and disdain.
Ruby put down her phone and gave the old woman a look.
The old woman’s face was a lot rosier, she looked to be in good shape, and had the strength to yell at her.
“Um, it’s me.”
She replied casually, lifting her hand to ring the bedside bell and call the doctor.
The old lady didn’t like her, and she had no intention of trying to please her, after all, marrying Levi was only a stop-gap measure, and sooner or later they would still separate.
Isabella became more and more discontented for her attitude.
Sure enough, she was from the countryside with no upbringing at all!
The door to the ward was pushed open and a doctor entered with two nurses in tow with hurried steps.
Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Ruby retreated quietly.
After the doctor finished examining Isabella, he looked at her with an awe-inspiring expression, “Ma’am, you are really lucky. There is nothing wrong with your health, you can be discharged immediately.”
“Oh, if your doctors hadn’t resuscitated me properly, I might not have been fine even if I had been brought here in time. You don’t need to speak for her.” Isabella only took it as the doctor was saying that she was lucky that she just happened to meet a kind person who brought her to the hospital, so she was very dismissive.
The doctor froze for a moment, looking at Isabella for a long time before speaking, “No, we did nothing, you were already resuscitated when you were sent here. All vital signs were normal, it was the girl who sent you here that said you had a bit of heatstroke and needed an infusion to replenish the saline, so we gave you an infusion, nothing else was done.”
“What did you say!?” Isabella couldn’t believe her ears.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
So she wasn’t saved by the hospital doctor? She was saved by that Ruby?
How could that be possible? How could she be capable of saving?
In her heart, Isabella did not believe it, only thinking that she was really lucky and had nothing wrong with her health, so she was safe and sound.
Ruby didn’t have the time to care what was in Isabella’s heart. She had a lot of things to do and had no time to please someone who was not important.
After coming out of the hospital, Ruby went straight back to Shangcheng International Building.
Just as she reached the door, her feet couldn’t help but lurch.
What kind of bad karma is this? She can’t believe she met that pervert again!
Levi: “…”
The corners of Levi’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch as he looked at Ruby who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Jared had a playful look on his face, his gaze swept back and forth between Ruby and Levi, and finally pressed his voice and said in Levi’s ear, “Your fiancée is quite capable, she even came her to find you. It looks like she really loves you.”
“Shut up!” Levi spat out these two words through clenched teeth, his gaze falling coolly on Ruby.
Ruby just glanced at him and simply ignored him, lifting her foot into the door.
She was tired from her day and now just wanted to go back to her apartment and take a shower and lay down for a comfortable nap.
Levi watched as she walked past his face without looking at him, the corners of his lips hooked, and he also lifted his feet to follow.
The two entered the elevator one after the other, Ruby raised her hand to press the key, and when Levi was just about to move, he looked at the floor number and fell silent.
Is it really that coincidental? She lives here too, and on the 18th floor, just like himself?
Jared couldn’t help but poke Levi, prompting Levi to give him a fierce glare.
The elevator went up and soon stopped on the eighteenth floor.
Ruby lifted her foot out of the elevator and saw that Levi had followed her out as well.
She paused in her steps and looked back at Levi, her tone not too polite, “Hey, you’re not going to tell me that you live here too, are you?”
“Heh, it’s quite a coincidence.” Levi sneered and replied.
Ruby raised her eyebrows, took out her access card and walked towards her apartment, Levi watched her movements with deep eyes.
Jared watched Ruby enter the door before he rambled in Levi ears, “No way? She really lives here? And next door to you? The apartments in Shangcheng International are very expensive, more than 400, 000 per square meter, right? This apartment is worth tens of millions, can she afford it?”
He said and hammered Levi, and then added, “It seems that your fiancee have a rich man behind her, it is for sure. Do you think that the man will come tonight? Will we hear something exciting?”
Before Jared could finish his words, the door was viciously slammed shut.
