Valentin, Andrew, and Leonard arrived at the hospital. Everyone waiting in the ward learned that Leonard was willing to treat Ashley, and their agonizing hearts finally found relief. They could somewhat ease their worries.
Joseph saw Andrew, who came with Valentin and was no longer surprised. There was no time for many questions.
Now, the most crucial thing was to wake Ashley up.
As Leonard entered the ward, he saw Ashley lying unconscious on the bed. His expression immediately became serious, almost more distressed than if he were sick himself. He rushed to the bedside almost without lifting his feet off the ground.
Karen was startled, thinking, 'This old medical sage, why does he seem so...unstable?'
Valentin explained in a low voice, "Mr. Ferguson really likes Ashley's paintings and was worried after hearing about her coma."
Karen finally understood, thinking, 'So that is the reason.'
Leonard hurried to the bedside. After a quick examination, he felt that Ashley's body temperature was abnormally high.
"Mr. Ferguson, this is the analysis report of the ingredients of the yellow powder." Valentin handed the analyzed report of the drug ingredients to Leonard.
Leonard took it and looked. Upon seeing the ingredients in the drug, his face turned unsightly. He turned to Valentin and Andrew angrily, saying, "While we were heading here, you filled me in on the entire situation with this doctor, Tyler, who seems hell-bent on using Ashley's life as a bargaining chip for control over the Pliskin family's assets. It's clear to me now that Tyler isn't just eyeing the wealth but also plotting to jeopardize her life!
"This kind of coma to death is very peculiar and rare. As far as I know, there are not even three people in the world who can cure this disease, and two of them have already passed away. How could Tyler possibly cure it? He's deliberately deceiving you! Besides wanting to take over the Pliskin family's wealth, he never intended to cure Ashley! He is so despicable!"
The more Leonard spoke, the angrier he became, his beard blowing up.
Brian and Karen were shocked when they heard this. "How...could this be?"
They thought Tyler only wanted to use Ashley's safety as a trade, but the reality was even more severe.
Not only did he want to seize the Pliskin family's assets, but he also wanted to kill Ashley.
He drugged her but could not cure her.
Brian was infuriated, and his chest ached.
The Pliskin family hadn't done anything wrong to Tyler, yet he stubbornly engaged in these despicable and cunning activities due to his unilateral misunderstanding.
Andrew's eyes darkened. It made sense now. After questioning Tyler for a long time, he left him on his last breath, and Tyler still refused to reveal how to wake Ashley up.
Andrew thought Tyler was holding back, trying to use her safety as leverage for the family's wealth.
But in reality, Tyler couldn't wake her up.
There were only a few people in this world who could treat this strange coma, and two of them had already passed away.
Valentin's expression was dark and indistinguishable. His eyes seemed to have frost. "Mr. Ferguson, do you have a way to cure it?"
Leonard didn't boast but said, "Let's start by bringing down her fever."
Now, Ashley's body temperature has exceeded 104 degrees Fahrenheit. If the high fever continued, it would cause significant damage to her body.
He couldn't let Ashley be delirious.
In an emergency, Leonard opted for a more conventional approach and decided to administer intravenous therapy. He carefully selected the appropriate medication and inserted a specialized needle to facilitate the controlled delivery of the prescribed treatment.
The occupants of the hospital room instinctively hushed, creating a collective silence so as not to disturb Leonard during the delicate process of administering the treatment.
Karen and Brian saw a few drops of blood dripping from their daughter's fingertips, their faces filled with deep concern.
George and Lester stayed by the side all along.
Zain, staying at the hospital well into midnight, now sat in a corner chair with Claire and Joseph by his side due to his old age. His face displayed concern as he observed the situation at the bedside.
