Omnipotent Mrs. Finn

Chapter 170 Poison in the Blood

"What's wrong? You look bad, is there something wrong?" Cara looked at Ruby's appearance and

spoke with a worried face.

Ruby shook her head, "Grandma, I'm fine, I probably didn't rest well last night."

As she had only just finished speaking, Cara looked abruptly at Levi.

The corners of Levi's mouth couldn't help but twitch, rubbing his nose before speaking, "Want to go

back to sleep?"

"Okay. You guys take your time to eat, don't mind me." Ruby got up and went straight back to her room.

It was true that she had not rested well last night and was mentally dishevelled, and another important

reason was that she was on her period.

She often suffered from her period, and when Logan was alive, he prescribed her medicine, and it took

her a few years to get better. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

As she was just getting better, the Grant family had an accident.

The death of Nellie and Logan, and the illness of Cara for she had suffered a great deal of stress, had

left Ruby with a huge responsibility and pressure on her shoulders, and later she had been sent to F

Country, a country she was unfamiliar with. It was lucky that she could survive, so she did not have

time to care for her own health.

She tried to regulate it again over the years, but found that she had taken several doses of medicine

without much success.

Ruby lied in bed, her face pale.

Levi came in after eating and was a bit worried when he saw her: "Are you alright?"

"I am okay." Ruby shook her head and shrank her entire body under the cover.

Seeing Ruby in this state, Levi thought for a moment before turning around and going out, finding Cara:

"Grandma, Ruby doesn’t seem to be feeling well, do you know what’s wrong?"

The old lady, who had heard the words and calculated the time, instantly understood, and came to

Levi's ear and whispered a word.

He coughed to hide his embarrassment before he went to the kitchen to boil a bowl of brown sugar and

ginger tea and brought it in for Ruby as instructed by Cara.

"Get up and drink it first, it will warm up your stomach." Levi carried steaming sugar water over and

placed it on the table before reaching out to help Ruby up.

At this moment, Ruby was very weak and did not resist, allowing Levi to help her up and sit against the

bed.

Levi handed her the ginger tea.

Ruby smelled the smell and immediately frowned in disgust: "Brown sugar ginger tea? I don't want to

drink it."

"You will be better after drinking it, be good and drink it." Levi coaxed Ruby as if she was a child.

But Ruby, who usually seemed to be quite nice, refused to drink the bowl of ginger tea this time.

"Why don't you drink it? Don't like the taste of brown sugar? Or don't like ginger?" Levi frowned at

Ruby.

It was rare for Ruby to have such a weak and childish side, and he was amused.

"Neither." Ruby replied sullenly.

She hated the smell of ginger, and the exact reason for what happened was pretty much forgotten by

now.

But even if it hurt like hell when her period came, she should never take a sip of ginger tea.

"This is good for your health, at least you will feel better." Levi looked at her helplessly, and could only

persuade her patiently.

Ruby resisted and turned her head away, refusing to give in.

"Then I'll go and make you some more brown sugar water without ginger?" Seeing that she was really

unwilling to drink it, Levi had no other way for a while, and could only ask.

Ruby frowned at the look of concern on Levi's face, and the thought that she would actually be

pampering herself to Levi was new to her.

She coughed awkwardly before speaking, "Brown sugar tea, then. A little is fine, nothing too sweet."

Levi was amused by this look on her face, "I didn't expect you to have food you dislike. Let me go fill up

another hot water bag for you."

Levi went out with the brown sugar ginger tea.

When Cara took a look at the ginger tea he was holding, she couldn't help but smile, "This girl still

hates the taste of ginger so much."

"Do you know why, Grandma?" Levi looked at Cara curiously.

"When she was a child, she was tricked by someone who told her that ginger was delicious, so she ran

to the kitchen and took a big piece and ate a bite of it, only to vomit afterwards. She was allergic to

ginger, and when she ate a bit of it, she got a red rash and vomited and had diarrhoea. After that, the

family never bought ginger again. The psychiatrist said that it was a psychological allergy and that once

she got over her fears, the allergy would go away, but she was always resistant. I've tried so many

things, but I can't get her to overcome it. You see she doesn't put ginger in her cooking every time."

Cara couldn't help but feel emotional as she recalled the past.

Ruby was a spoiled daughter of the Grant family at that time. If Nellie had not met someone bad and

ended up with a broken family, Ruby would not have become like this.

"Forget it if she doesn't eat it, just brew some brown sugar water for her.

" Cara waved her hand and sent Levi off to the kitchen to make some brown sugar water for Ruby.

Levi went to the kitchen, brewed brown sugar water and came out. He also asked Cara to find a water-

warming bag, and took it in to Ruby.

Ruby drank the brown sugar water and held the warm water bag in her arms before she felt slightly

less uncomfortable.

She huddled under the covers, her eyes closed, and she didn't care about Levi in the room.

Levi stayed in the room until Ruby fell asleep and checked the temperature of her forehead to make

sure she was okay before he left the room.

Ruby slept in a daze for the rest of the day, not even knowing when Vincent had sent the haematology

analyser over.

By the time she opened her eyes, it was night time.

Outside it was already dark and neon lights decorated the city.

Ruby stretched and got up, her stomach was much more comfortable and didn't hurt as much as it did

in the morning.

She walked out of the room, and outside she heard the pleasant sounds of Levi talking to Cara,

accompanied by Serena's voice, it looked like they were getting along quite well.

"You are up. There's still rice hot in the kitchen, go eat some if you're hungry." Levi was the first to spot

Ruby and greeted her.

Ruby nodded and went straight to the kitchen.

After eating dinner, her stomach warmed up and she felt refreshed.

She cleaned up the dishes and put them away in the dishwasher before going out to ask Levi, "Did

Vincent come by this afternoon?"

"Yes, he came to deliver something to you, it's been put in the study." Levi nodded in reply.

"Thanks." Ruby thanked Levi and went straight to the study.

"Brother, you can't chase girls like this, you have to be more proactive and showed your care. Isn't

sister-in-law having menstrual cramps during her period? You should at least show more enthusiasm

and care for her. Hurry up, pour a cup of brown sugar water and send it to the study." Serena looked at

Levi with contempt and directly handed over the cup in front of her.
