Chapter 147: Saving Her Life

Ryan frowned, something like this was quite unusual.

Feeling anxious, Ryan immediately got out of the room and headed for the elevator. As the doors opened, Valerie got out of the elevator. In an instant Ryan's anxiety disappeared.

"Morning, Valerie." Ryan said with a warm smile.

"Ryan," Seeing that it was Ryan who greeted her, she immediately covered her face. When he looked at it, Valerie's face looked ugly and her eyes were red as if she had been crying all night.

Seeing this, Ryan's heart ached. He quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? Why is your face like that?"

When she heard this, Valerie's tears dropped back from her eyes.

"Ryan... I, I ..." Valerie hesitated a little to tell the man about the problem.

Without asking much, Ryan immediately hugged Valerie and stroked her hair.

"You don't have to worry. I will help you through it, no matter what," Ryan said in a soothing tone.

After calming herself for a while, Valerie finally calmed down and released Ryan's hug. "Yesterday, my grandmother was hospitalized. She was in the emergency room all night because the help took a while to arrive at her house,"

"It's okay, you don't have to worry. I will accompany you there after work," Ryan needed to know what illness her grandmother had before he could say that he would help her grandmother.

"Okay," Valerie nodded while wiping her tears.

Time was running fast and the day had turned into evening. When their working hours had ended, Ryan and Valerie left together to the Avalerion public hospital.

During the trip, Ryan asked about what happened last night. It turned out that Valerie's grandmother suddenly collapsed yesterday midnight and the ambulance took quite a long time to arrive at her house. Even though her condition had improved, her grandmother was still unconscious.

It could be said that her grandmother's condition was still unknown.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Ryan said in a soothing tone. He was confident that he could save Valerie's grandmother.

After buying a few items, they finally arrived at the hospital. Not long after, Ryan finally met Valerie's grandmother, who was still lying on her bed.

"Grandma..." When she saw her grandmother lying weakly on her bed, Valerie's tears could not stop coming out.

"Take it easy," Ryan said while holding Valerie's hand.

At this time, the doctor from Valerie's grandmother walked into the room. Valerie quickly asked him, "Doc, will my grandmother be okay?"

The doctor looked at Valerie and shook his head. "I hope you are prepared for the worst. She's not doing well. "

When she heard this, Valerie was about to faint. Luckily Ryan was there with her.

"I apologize for bringing this bad news so candidly. I'll take my leave first," the doctor said to both of them.

Ryan then turned and looked at Valerie's grandmother. At this moment, the old woman was lying quietly and fast asleep. The chances of her waking up were probably already in the 40-60 mark.

"Let me see it first," Ryan said to Valerie.

Ryan then checked her pulse and felt her muscles. After examining it, the wrinkles on his forehead were getting big.

The situation was truly worse than he had imagined. It could be said that Valerie's grandmother did not have a dangerous disease. On the other hand, her body was in perfect health. But since she was too old, the organs in her body had lost their function. Valerie's grandmother's time was up so there was very little chance of saving her.

Despite mastering several traditional healing techniques, Ryan still couldn't find the right way to cure her.

After thinking hard and remembering his grandfather's teachings, Ryan still couldn't find a way.

The man then sighed in defeat. Even if his third grandfather were here, perhaps the situation wouldn't have been that much different. Though the old man might have a way to prolong Valerie's grandmother's life, the woman's internal organs would not withstand such stimulants. He feared that the organs would stop functioning first before the medicine worked.

Ryan then turned to Valerie with a gloomy face while shaking his head. In an instant, Valerie's whole body seemed to tremble and finally she fell and hugged her grandmother in tears.

"Valerie, don't be sad like that, I'll think of another way," Ryan said in a soothing tone.

After crying for a while, Valerie finally stopped crying. Her eyes got even more swollen and redder than before.

Ryan wanted to change the atmosphere by asking her out to eat, but Valerie insisted on staying with her grandmother. So he went alone to the canteen.

After leaving the room, Ryan's thoughts were really mixed. He had never handled a case like this before. Even after he thought a lot, he was still at a deadlock.

With a sigh, Ryan took his cell phone and called his third grandfather.

"What do you want now? You keep calling whenever you have a problem, your grandfather is not a powerful person you know! Hurry up and say your problem."

Ryan then explained the situation about Valerie's grandmother. After hearing that, the third grandfather immediately became angry. "You really are not making any sense. You don't even know how to solve your own problem but you care about other people's problems. You always run to me when you're in a deadlock, it gives me a headache to see you."

Bored to hear his grandfather's lecture, Ryan quickly asked, "Can you save her?"

"No, I can't."

Hearing his grandfather's answer, Ryan almost vomited blood. He didn't know what to say to Valerie.

"Then I'll go first, Grandpa," he said in a disappointed tone.

"Ah, wait a minute! I'm just saying that I can't save her. It's not that I don't know how," his grandfather was already angry with him. How could that boy underestimate his knowledge?

Ryan then smiled again. "I thought you wanted to tease me. I know you never let me down,"

"Hmm," Ryan could clearly see that this grandfather was now stroking his beard with a proud face even though they were far apart.

"So how do you do grandpa?" Ryan asked.

"You are stupid sometimes, do you realize that?" The third grandfather scratched his head then said in a slightly snarl, "The ginseng doll is the answer. The doll's blood should be able to sustain your friend's grandma's life a few more years,"

Friend? Looked like his grandfather mistook it. It was clear that Valerie was his girl!

However, hearing about the ginseng doll made Ryan confused again. He hadn't managed to catch the doll all this time. He wasn't even able to touch it at all! 

Even if he had a good relationship with that ginseng doll, how could he possibly ask her to give her blood to him? Wasn't that tantamount to cutting off a bit of her body? How could he do that?

"Gramps, but I couldn't catch it at all. The doll is really agile," Ryan said in a grumbling tone.

"It's none of my business," the third grandfather said with a laugh. "But I believe that you and the ginseng doll are destined to meet,"

Destined?

Since when did this third grandfather learn fortune-telling like the fourth grandfather?

Ryan then scratched his head, confused about what to do. However, a loud explosion suddenly came from behind the phone. As if the roof of the house had been hit by a bomb. The loud voice immediately made Ryan anxious.

Was his grandfather's house attacked?

"Cough, cough, cough." For a moment, coughing continued to sound from his cellphone. Then suddenly his grandfather's angry voice sounded very loud. "If you call me again while I'm making medicinal herbs, I'll skin you when you get home!"

Tuut...Tuut...

The phone was immediately cut off by his grandfather. Ryan was speechless for a few moments, was it really his fault that her grandfather's medicine pot exploded?

After shoving his cellphone back to his pocket, Ryan then thought about how he could find the ginseng doll. That doll should still be here, in the city of Avalerion!

After thinking hard, Ryan realized that the ginseng doll's favorite place might be Avalerion University, his office, and Kane's place. Come to think of it, the possibility of the ginseng doll being in Kane's place was greater because Kane had an abundant and pure inner power.

Therefore, Ryan immediately went to the boarding house where Kane lived. If the doll wasn't there, then he would think again.

Running like lightning, it didn't take long for Ryan to arrive at Kane's house. When he entered Kane's room, Ryan saw Kane sitting on his bed. Then the ginseng doll was seen sitting beside him, pointing at the ceiling of his room. Then these two creatures fell and laid on the bed laughing.

It turned out that his guess was right!

Ryan was really happy, at least he found this doll.

"Ah, brother, why do you come here?" Kane asked with his innocent face.
