At the hospital, Joseph softly sighed as he walked into the VIP ward and saw a thick pile of medical books and specialized
information sitting on the table.
Ashley’s disease was very weird and rare. There was not much
information about it, and it was hard to find. But no matter how secretive the information was, Valentin found all of it, as well as
those books rted to acupuncture.
These days, Valentin didn’t sleep, reading all these obscure medical books. to find out if there was any way to relieve Ashley’s
condition. Now, Valentin had be an expert on the subject. Every time Leonard gave Ashley.acupuncture, he would talk to
Valentin about whether a different acupuncture point would be more effective.
Karen tucked in Ashley, who was passed out in the hospital bed, and hurriedly asked when she saw Josephing over,
“Joseph, is Valentin back yet?”
Joseph reassured her, “Don’t worry. Valentin will definitely get that doctor here!”
This morning, Leonard rmended another very qualified doctor who was extremely good at traditional medicine, by the name
of Bard Dale. They wanted to bring him in to see if they could work together to discuss a way to get Ashley to wake up as soon
as possible.
Valentin didn’t dy a second after hearing that and went straight to invite Bard.
In the living room, Bard sat on the sofa and surveyed Valentin across. the table, saying, “Doctors are healers with benevolent
hearts. Anyonees to me for healing, I’m sure I''ll help. But you''vee to me with the wrong person.”
Valentin said calmly, “Leonard rmended me.”
“It has nothing to do with Leonard.” Bard grunted heavily and said, “I don’t like your grandfather, very much.”
Valentin was stunned and thought, ‘My grandfather?”

He exined in a hoarse voice, “It’s not my grandfather who needs to be cured, but my wife, Ashley.”
Bard was astonished for a moment at his words. “Ashley? | know her. She’s sick? Even Leonard couldn’t handle it? But...”
Bard rubbed his chin. “I think it’s you who should be treated the most right now. Your face is as pale as paper and your eyes
are bloodshot. How long since you''ve rested? Let me speak frankly, if you die suddenly in my house, don’t me me.”
Hearing this, Valentin said calmly, “| know my own body well.”
Bard red in displeasure. “Bullshit! Are you a doctor or am | a doctor?”
Valentin, too anxious about Ashley’s condition to worry about his own, continued, “If my grandfather has ever done anything to
displease you, | will bring you to him so that you can talk about it. | hope you
ou can help. check on my wife’s condition.”
Bard grunted again. “You''re better than your grandfather... Forget it. Since you put it that way, let me ask you something.”
Valentin looked at him.
Bard picked up the coffee cup on the table and actually felt a bit nervous. He cleared his throat twice before asking, “Did you
ever hear your grandmother talk about me when she was once alive?”
Valentin was a bit stunned at that.
He thought, “The question Bard asked... He likes my grandma? No wonder he dislikes my grandpa so much.’
Valentin shook his head and answered truthfully, “No.”
Bard didn’t believe it. “Really?”
Valentin said, “I never heard Grandma talk about you.”
Once Bard heard that, he was instantly so sad that he didn’t even want to drink his coffee. He put his coffee cup heavily on the
table. “Just leave! Ashley is your wife, so she’s rted to your grandfather. | can’t treat her disease!”
Valentin turned serious and stared at him with no expression.

His patience had run out.
Bard was still immersed in his words that “I never heard Grandma talk about you”. He was so sad that he immediately recalled
Valentin’s grandfather when he turned to see Valentin’s indifferent face. The anger he was holding in his heart swished up, and
without thinking, he said. rudely and absurdly, “If you want me to help cure your wife, beg me, and I''ll go.”
Valentin grew instantly grim and narrowed his eyes.

Bard regretted it when he finished speaking. He could never calm down whenever something rted to Valentin’s grandmother
came up, and he couldn’t change after all these years.
Bard wanted to take back the rude remark he had just made. But on second thought, he thought Valentin, a man of his high
status, wouldn’t beg for it and that it might be a good way to dissuade him.
He wanted Valentin to shrink back from difficulties.
Bard waved his hand directly. “All right. Just leave now!”
Valentin’s eyshes lowered slightly, and he got up from the sofa with little emotion. “Okay.”
Seeing him get up, Bard picked up the newspaper on the table and read it, ready to see off his visitor.
In the next moment, he saw Valentin, who was a man of great power d dignity, walk up to him and prepare to bend over to beg
him.
Startled, Bard rushed to stop him, widening his eyes in shock. “Ar trying to get back at me? How can | possibly stand your
begging?”
Although he was the elder, Valentin and the Kingsley family were of h
status.
He couldn''t let Valentin beg him.
Bard was both shocked and puzzled. “Did the Kingsley family go bankrupt? Or are you falling from grace? How can you beg
me like this? You''d really do everything for Ashley!”
Valentin thought, ‘Everything? Is that everything?”
Dropping his eyes, Valentin said faintly, “I just want her to wake up.
soon...”

Other than that, he didn’t care about anything else.
Looking at Valentin’s lifeless look, Bard wanted to say something but couldn’t, and his chest felt like it was stuffed with cotton.
He was once like that when he confronted Valentin’s grandmother...
“Fine!” Bard took a deep breath and said helplessly, “Tell me what’s wrong with her first.”
Valentin told the story of Ashley’sa.
Bard looked grave. “I can’t believe it’s such a rare disease... Leonard’s approach was right...”
After a pause, Bard looked at Valentin with some suspicion.
“Ashley is still inaa. In her condition, she may suddenly wake up one day, or she may not wake up
for two or three years...
“To put it bluntly, you’re able to devote yourself to her right now because it hasn’t been long since she was in aa. But if it
were longer, would you still have the patience? Won''t you think she’s a burden? Won''t you wish that she would die quickly so
that you can be relieved?”
Bard knew his words were harsh. But it was the reality, and he’d seen a
lot of it.
Many children couldn''t stick it out when facing their biological parents, who had been sick in bed for a long time, not to mention a
couple who had
been married very long.
Valentin’s expression didn’t change much even when Bard was him away and making excessive demands.
However, at this moment, hearing Bard’s words just now, Valentin expression instantly became as cold as ice, as if Ashley had
been denigrated, and his eyes looked at Bard as if they were wrapped in th snow and wind of a freezing ce.
Bard shuddered at the shock.
After a long time, Valentin closed his eyes and gently rubbed the wedding ring on his ring finger. He unconsciously stopped being
angry when he thought of Ashley’s smile when she’d said yes to his proposal.
He stroked the ring on his ring finger and said only a few words in a hoarse voice, like an oath, “She is not just anyone. She is
my wife, the

only love of my life, and the one | am willing to be faithful to for the rest of my life.”
It was like Ashley was more important than his life...
Bard’s heart trembled, and he reached up and patted himself on the mouth. “You like her that much? Well. | was the one who
spoke too harshly! Now let''s go to the hospital and find Leonard to see if we can figure out how to get her to wake up soon!”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
When they arrived at the hospital, Bard checked on Ashley’s condition. with Leonard and looked over the acupuncture points
that Leonard had. given Ashley.
It was already an extremely stable treatment.
But it was unknown when Ashley would wake.
How to get her to wake up as soon as possible...

Bard racked his brain, wanting to bring out all the medical knowledge he’d learned in the past.
Suddenly, he nced at a thick pile of medical information on the table next to him and was astonished, thinking, ‘Could Valentin
have read everything rted to this disease for Ashley?”
Sure enough, Valentin understood Bard and Leonard’s discussion perfectly and could even make a brief remark from time to
time.
Bard couldn''t help but sigh and think, ‘The Kingsley family is so Valentin’s grandfather and Valentin are both devoted...”
At that moment, Joseph brought over some food. “Valentin, why do you eat something first?”
Valentin didn’t even eat lunch before he ran off to invite Bard.
Valentin was listening to Bard and Leonard’s discussion and said without looking, “Put it there first.”
Joseph was instantly angry and thought, ‘Valentin said that again, and he’s using this trick to coax me again. | don’t see him
eating anything even they get cold. Valentin doesn’t even sleep much these days, let alone.
eat!’
Getting angry, Joseph dragged Valentin toward the table. “No way. | have to watch you eat!”

Between dragging, Valentin got dizzy and fell backward powerlessly.
“Valentin...” Joseph was startled and rushed to support him. “Don’t you scare me!”
Bard and Leonard rushed to look over at the sound.
Seeing the fainting Valentin, Bard said with knowing, “See. | said it just now. He’s the one who should see the doctor the most
right now. His body has already reached its limit, and it''s good that he doesn’t die suddenly. See, he did faint, didn’t he?”
Joseph was furious and thought, ‘Die suddenly? Why does he talk so mean?!’
