Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 372

At the hospital, Joseph softly sighed as he walked into the VIP ward and saw a thick pile of medical books and specialized information sitting on the table.

Ashley’s disease was very weird and rare. There was not much

information about it, and it was hard to find. But no matter how secretive the information was, Valentin found all of it, as well as those books related to acupuncture.

These days, Valentin didn’t sleep, reading all these obscure medical books. to find out if there was any way to relieve Ashley’s condition. Now, Valentin had become an expert on the subject. Every time Leonard gave Ashley.acupuncture, he would talk to Valentin about whether a different acupuncture point would be more effective.

Karen tucked in Ashley, who was passed out in the hospital bed, and hurriedly asked when she saw Joseph coming over, “Joseph, is Valentin back yet?”

Joseph reassured her, “Don’t worry. Valentin will definitely get that doctor here!”

This morning, Leonard recommended another very qualified doctor who was extremely good at traditional medicine, by the name of Ballard Dale. They wanted to bring him in to see if they could work together to discuss a way to get Ashley to wake up as soon as possible.

Valentin didn’t delay a second after hearing that and went straight to invite Ballard.

In the living room, Ballard sat on the sofa and surveyed Valentin across. the table, saying, “Doctors are healers with benevolent hearts. Anyone comes to me for healing, I’m sure I’ll help. But you’ve come to me with the wrong person.”

Valentin said calmly, “Leonard recommended me.”

“It has nothing to do with Leonard.” Ballard grunted heavily and said, “I don’t like your grandfather, very much.”

Valentin was stunned and thought, ‘My grandfather?”

He explained in a hoarse voice, “It’s not my grandfather who needs to be cured, but my wife, Ashley.”

Ballard was astonished for a moment at his words. “Ashley? I know her. She’s sick? Even Leonard couldn’t handle it? But…”

Ballard rubbed his chin. “I think it’s you who should be treated the most right now. Your face is as pale as paper and your eyes are bloodshot. How long since you’ve rested? Let me speak frankly, if you die suddenly in my house, don’t blame me.”

Hearing this, Valentin said calmly, “I know my own body well.”

Ballard glared in displeasure. “Bullshit! Are you a doctor or am I a doctor?”

Valentin, too anxious about Ashley’s condition to worry about his own, continued, “If my grandfather has ever done anything to displease you, I will bring you to him so that you can talk about it. I hope you

Ballard grunted again. “You’re better than your grandfather… Forget it. Since you put it that way, let me ask you something.”

Valentin looked at him.

Ballard picked up the coffee cup on the table and actually felt a bit nervous. He cleared his throat twice before asking, “Did you ever hear your grandmother talk about me when she was once alive?”

Valentin was a bit stunned at that.

He thought, “The question Ballard asked… He likes my grandma? No wonder he dislikes my grandpa so much.’
