Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 241

The doctor emerged from the emergency room, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Ashley and Joseph immediately surrounded him.

"Doctor, how is he?" Ashley hastily inquired.

Ralph and Maggie also helped Zain over.

The doctor looked at the crowd and dared not offend any of these people. He carefully and patiently explained, "The wounds on the patient's back have been properly treated and bandaged. There's nothing major at the moment. The more challenging issue is the injury on the back of his head. After appropriate treatment, vital signs have stabilized, but continuous observation and treatment are still needed. However, the patient is still unconscious, so we'll transfer him to a VIP room for better care."

Ashley frowned, "Doctor, when will he wake up?"

The doctor couldn't make a definitive statement. "It depends on the observation of specific conditions. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the patient should regain consciousness soon."

Despite her lingering concerns, Ashley nodded. "Alright, thank you."

"You're welcome. It's our duty." The doctor reiterated, "Regarding the wounds, due to cuts and punctures from fragments, it's crucial to keep them dry and avoid infection."

"Okay, I understand." Ashley took note of it earnestly.

Joseph had been listening by the side, and it was only then that he breathed a sigh of relief.

The unconscious Valentin was transferred to the VIP ward.

After administering fluids and explaining some precautions, the doctor temporarily left the room.

Ashley gently held his other hand that was not with a needle, but Valentin lay quietly with closed eyes, his face pale. He was lost in a deep sleep, unable to respond to her.

Zain walked to the bedside and saw his grandson motionless and unconscious. He would be lying if he said he wasn't worried.

As an elder, witnessing the suffering of his descendants was the most dreaded thing.

"Grandpa, Valentin will definitely wake up early tomorrow morning. Don't worry too much," Joseph reassured. He then glanced at his parents, saying, "Dad, Mom, don't worry too much either."

Maggie nodded and looked at Ashley by the bedside. She kept her head down, eyes fixed on Valentin. Ashley remained silent and seemingly lost in thought.

Maggie couldn't bear to see it. As a woman, she thought it might be easier for her to advise Ashley.

Maggie approached and patted Ashley's shoulder. "Ashley, don't be too anxious. The best doctors and professors are here in the hospital. They'll do their best to take care of Valentin. Don't worry too much."

Ashley's eyelashes trembled, nodding slightly. "I know, thank you."

Maggie sighed softly and said no more.

Ralph came over, holding Maggie's hand, signaling to her that this was the young couple's matter. It was futile to advise too much. Just thought about it. If the husband was injured and unconscious, how could his wife not be worried?

Joseph, witnessing his parents holding hands, was used to it. His parents were always affectionate, showering him with their affection for each other at home.

Ashley received a call from Simon inquiring about Valentin's condition, so she briefly updated him.

Simon wanted to come over for a visit, but it was already late, so Ashley advised against it.

Outside the window, the night was dark.

Before they knew it, it had already passed midnight.

Joseph glanced at the time and spoke. "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, let Ashley and me stay in the ward. You should go home and rest for a while."

Joseph raised his chin, gesturing towards the bracelet on her wrist.

Ashley became even more bewildered. "What's wrong with this?"

This bracelet was a gift from Valentin some time ago, and she really liked it. She would often wear it. It was a delicate silver chain with two rubies shaped like red beans strung on it.

The two rubies were exceptionally translucent, emanating a warm luster, beautiful and pleasing.

Joseph was astonished. "Ashley, you don't know?"

"What should I know? This is the bracelet Valentin gave me before. What's wrong?" Ashley asked in confusion.

"Didn't Valentin tell you? This bracelet was specifically blessed by a pastor."

"What?" Ashley was taken aback, wide-eyed with disbelief. "Blessed?"

"Yes, exactly. When Valentin knew about you getting seriously injured while saving Jeremy, he was heartbroken. Although he's not superstitious, he didn't want you to suffer any harm in the future. So, he specifically went to ask for this bracelet. The red rubies contain some of his blood and can accumulate blessings while warding off disasters. Even if a disaster occurs, it can be transferred to him."

Ashley was utterly stunned, feeling like her nerves had been pulled tight.

Joseph's words repeated in her mind. 'Accumulate blessings and ward off disasters. Even if a disaster occurs, it can be transferred to him...'

How could he do this?

When Valentin gave her the bracelet, he casually mentioned. "It looks great on you, so I bought it."

You, liar.
