With no more eyesores in the ward, Levi immediately rushed to Cara's side, his brow furrowed in concern as he asked, "How is Grandma's condition?"
Ruby pursed her lips and did not answer directly, "Give me a hand and lift Grandma to the hospital bed."
Levi did not dare to delay and did as he was told.
He laid the old lady flat on the bed and Ruby immediately spread out the packet containing the silver needles and held her breath as she applied them to Cara.
Not long after, Chester returned.
"Mr. Morris, I have thrown out that old woman I threw out, someone is there to stop her, so she can't get in and I have got the doctor here."
However, Levi glanced at him, his eyes grim and unhappy.
Chester immediately understood and hastened to silence, pulling the doctor who was about to step forward to prevent him from passing.
After another unknown period of time, cold sweat had seeped out from the corner of Ruby's forehead and her palms were sticky, but her fingers kept flicking the silver needles.
After taking Cara's pulse once again, she started using the needle.
After pulling out the last silver needle, her body swayed slightly, her face was pale and there was no hint of blood on her lips.
Levi was worried, so he helped her with his quick move.
"How are you? Is everything okay? Do you want to take a break?"
Faced with his nervousness, Ruby shook her head, her brow knitted tightly as she raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from the corner of her forehead.
"I'm fine, I just raised up a bit hard."
Seeing that she was holding on, Levi was uneasy and simply helped her to sit down at the side, then gave a look to Chester, who then let go of the doctor and let him go over to Cara.
However, Ruby suddenly spoke out, "No need, Grandma is fine for now, she will wake up after a short sleep."
The doctor was surprised to hear that.
From the moment he first came in and saw Ruby apply the needles, he was already shocked.
Now, hearing her say this, he was even more stunned, yet he still checked the old lady with unease.
Seeing this, Ruby did not stop him and let him go.
It took a few moments before the doctor exclaimed, "What a great needle technique! The patient is really fine!"
Ruby did not say anything, her eyes were half closed and she seemed to be very tired.
At the sight of this, Levi's brows were tightly knitted.
He raised his eyes to Chester, who immediately understood and hurriedly led the doctor out of the ward.
Only then did Olivia come over with teary eyes, her little hand pulling Ruby's hand, her bloodless face drooping, obviously terrified by the scene.
"Mum, are you all right? When is Great Grandma going to wake up? I'm so scared ......"
Ruby heard the sound and half lifted her eyes to look at Olivia, she said softly, "Don’t be afraid, I is fine and so is great grandma."
Olivia sniffled in disbelief, timid, but nodded anyway.
Levi was full of worry and knew that she had just used up a lot of energy in administering the needles, so he picked her up without any further ado.
Ruby did not expect him to do this and was startled for a moment, subconsciously bracing herself against his chest.
"What, what are you doing?"
