Meanwhile, Charlie and Helena had already arrived at the Queen's ward on the top floor of the ancient castle.
The guards at the door originally wanted to stop them, but they immediately let Charlie and Helena in after asking Olivia for her instructions.
When Charlie came to the ward, he sent the medical staff away and glanced at the old lady who was lying o n the bed. This was a dying old woman, and since she had been tortured by her illness for a long time, she had already long lost the aura and majesty of a queen.
Helena was filled with expectations as she looked at Charlie and asked him, "Mr. Wade, can you cure my grandmother and wake her up?"
Charlie said indifferently, "I will definitely be able to heal her as long as she is still breathing."
As he spoke, Charlie then walked to the bed and placed his hand on the old lady's pulse. A trace of Reiki slipped in quietly.
A few moments later, Charlie gradually frowned, and h e spoke up and said, "Old lady, I guess you must be the loneliest person in this world now, right?"
As soon as Charlie said this, he could feel the old lady's fingers twitching slightly.
Helena was puzzled, and she asked, "Charlie... what do
you mean by that?"
Charlie shook his head and sighed as he said, "Your grandmother is still conscious. If my guess is right, she should be able to hear us now."
"What?!" Helena exclaimed, "Grandma can hear us? Then why is she still unconscious and in a coma?"
Charlie said seriously, "It’s just her body that is unconscious and in a coma, but not her consciousness. She's merely unable to control her body."
As he spoke, Charlie deliberately spoke in a very emotional and regretful tone, "The reason why I say that your grandmother is the loneliest person in this world is because no one knows that she is still conscious and sober. No one knows that she has only lost control of her body..."
"Your grandmother's current situation is equivalent to being permanently trapped inside her body. If she can regain control of her body, she will be able to wake up i n the true sense, then. Otherwise, she will have to live inside her closed brain, and she will never be able to communicate or interact with anyone else until her body is declared dead."
"Mr. Wade, since you have a way to save my grandmother, you have to save her no matter what it i s. I will be willing to do all of your biddings in this lifetime in order to repay your kindness, then..."
Charlie spoke up and said, "I do have an ancient Oskian divine medicine that I can use to cure your grandmother, but this medicine is really too precious. Even just a little bit of this medicine is already worth a fortune. To be honest, it is not worth it at all for me t o use this medicine on an old lady who is already of this age."
Helena was stunned for a moment. Helena could not understand why it seemed as though Charlie was regretting it and was backing out of his words when h e had clearly promised to save her grandmother and help her to become the queen.
But at this time, Charlie suddenly turned to look at the queen, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and he spoke up, "Old lady, I do have a way to bring your consciousness back, and I also have a way to let you live for two, three, or even five or ten more years. However, you have to agree to a few of my conditions.
I wonder if you will be willing to agree to it?"
When Charlie said these words, he could feel the old lady's intention to try to control her finger becoming even stronger.
So, Charlie continued, "Why don’t we do this, then? I'll temporarily let you regain control of your fingers first. After that, I will tell you all of my conditions one by one. If you can accept my conditions, you can raise one finger, but if you cannot accept my conditions, you can raise two fingers, then."
