Hallie had never heard Benjamin say such harsh words to her before, and she froze immediately, her eyes filled with disbelief.

“I only care about you…”

Instantly, her eyes reddened and brimmed with tears, as if she were hurt.

However, Benjamin was oblivious to this, he could see it, but didn’t give it a thought.

“I don’t need your concern.” At that moment, he replied nonchalantly, followed by a warning.

“Hallie, I think I made it very clear last time, our relationship broke up a long time ago. I think you should understand what that means. You refused to leave me, so I gave you this place to settle down, I let you stay here, it’s a kind of compensation for you, but only if you’re at peace with yourself, do you understand?”

Hallie was completely dumbfounded.

She hadn’t expected him to be so desperate, or even to leave himself the slightest margin for error.

She had thought she might take the opportunity of his presence to behave herself and try to get him to take her back home and stay with her.

But now it was all a bluff, and there was no longer any chance between them.

“May I ask why, why do you refuse to accept me, why don’t you want to keep me around, what is it that I don’t do well enough?” At this point, she asked him with tear-filled eyes.

However, this question eventually went unanswered.

Benjamin just gave her a cold look and said nothing as he turned to leave.

It was all because of Ruby – what good was Ruby!

Hallie squeezed his hand tightly, jealous.

What she hadn’t expected was Benjamin’s desperation to even ask to be kicked out.

Hallie walked out of the Institute with a grimace on her face.

This scene fell right into Ruby’s eyes.

She raised her eyebrows and curved her lips into a smile.

Back in the suite, she told Levi.

Levi replied, “It must be that Benjamin knew Hallie was contacting you privately, so he got angry and kicked her out.”

Ruby thought the same thing, and just as the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the bedroom door.

They both stared at each other, the door to the room opened and it was Jason, saying he wanted to take Ruby away.

A shiver shone in Ruby’s eyes and she smiled, nodding as if she didn’t know anything.

Jason was accompanied by the head of the X Institute, Mr. Lincoln, politely enough.

As Ruby was led to the car, Levi unconsciously grabbed Ruby’s hand, his eyes glanced at the ring between his fingers, he admonished her affectionately, “When you get there, you are to contact me at any time, call me if anything happens, understand?”

Hearing his words, Ruby smiled.

“Why do you put on that face every time I leave? You’re still so young, you’re acting like an old man.”

Levi pinched his nose, rather displeased.

“I’m worried about you, if I could go with you there would be no need to be so anxious.”

Saying this, he looked at Lincoln with a doubtful expression.

“Mr. Lincoln, is it true that I can’t go with her? I can promise you that I won’t tell anything I see and that I will never reveal half the secrets of your institute, I just want to follow my wife. After all, she’s going there for treatment, I can’t always feel at ease if I don’t accompany her.”

“Well…” Lincoln blushed in embarrassment, “I’m very sorry, Mr. Finn, our institute must demand absolute confidentiality, usually, no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave casually. This time, to save Mrs. Finn, it is already a precedent that is being affected…”

Levi’s face sank, but in the end he said no more. Ruby got into the car.

Afterwards, she seemed to be in little mood and climbed straight in.

Jason kept watching her back as she disappeared into the elevator, and when he returned to his office, the first thing he did was call Benjamin to report the situation on his end.

Benjamin on the phone kept asking if Ruby was in the car, but was relieved to find that Levi didn’t suspect anything.

Some time after Ruby got into the car, Lincoln handed him a black tape.

If she was blindfolded, she wouldn’t be able to see the way to the Institute, so Ruby wouldn’t know where Institute X was.

Ruby hooked her lips in a smile, said nothing more, and blindfolded herself with the black tape.

What everyone ignored, however, was that this method of trying to confuse directions was great, but it didn’t work on her.

She then leaned against the car window as if she were asleep, but her mind was still working nimbly, carefully feeling out the direction the car was taking and recording the route firmly in her mind.

Half an hour later, the car finally stopped and Lincoln woke her up; only then did Ruby move her body. Then she got permission to remove her blindfold.

On the first floor were laboratories, on the second floor were material rooms, on the upper floors were offices and information areas, on the top two floors were rest areas. On the sixth floor, which was the top floor, was where she was staying.

Her suspicions were confirmed when she entered the private room of the restaurant and saw Benjamin sitting inside.

“Ruby… What are you doing here?”

Just at the moment she made eye contact with Benjamin, before she could react, Benjamin had already stood up from his chair very surprised, his face full of disbelief.

She really underestimated the scope of Benjamin’s performance, this acting skill should win the Oscar gold medal.

But this result was to be expected from her.

Benjamin definitely could not reveal himself as the man behind this institute, and since he was going to appear in front of her, he would definitely have to change his identity.

Therefore, Ruby, who had foreseen this beforehand, also faced him with a shocked expression.

“Benjamin? Why are you here?”

She opened her mouth, unsure, and her eyes glanced between him and Lincoln, then toward the others in her seat.

“Are you a patient? Or a researcher?” she asked.

Benjamin saw that she raised no suspicion and seemed quite natural, a quick flash of slyness shone in the back of her eyes, which was short-lived.

“How can I be a patient? I’m an investigator here, of course.”

Through the silver mask, his exact expression was unclear, but only surprise that still did not abate for the moment could be heard in his voice.

Immediately afterward, he asked, “Could you be the patient they’re talking about?”

Ruby bit the corner of her lip and then nodded, “It looks like it.”

At this, Benjamin reacted after the fact and muttered incredulously, “So it is actually you…”

Lincoln then stepped forward, also to gesture, pretending not to know, and asked, “Miss Harold, Mr. Benjamin, do you know each other?”

Benjamin nodded and briefly explained, “We are old friends.”

Ruby laughed coldly inwardly, but her face did not move as she answered.

“Yes, you took care of me when I was in the capital.”

Seeing that she had made polite speech, Benjamin was fully convinced that she had lost some memories and her temper had changed a lot along with it.

Late in Lincoln’s office, Benjamin sat on the sofa drinking tea with a cold face.

“How is her spirits now?”

“I see she’s still in good spirits, the earlier potion must have only caused temporary memory loss, it wasn’t supposed to damage any brain cells.”

“Why is it that after several tests performed, no problems have been found in the values of his body indicators?” At this point, Benjamin asked again.

Lincoln pondered for a moment before answering with deliberation, “It shouldn’t be a problem with the medical instruments, the test results are correct, in fact, there is no point in going for further tests in this situation now, because the drugs have already broken down in his body long ago, causing his memory functions to become disordered. The only solution now is to directly perform experimental treatment on live humans.”

“Live human experimentation, is it risky?”.
