Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 365

After they went back to the hospital, Richard led a team to investigate the yellow powder.

As professionals, encountering such a substance excited them.

Inside the ward, seeing Valentin return, Karen and Brian eagerly asked, “Valentin, how is

it?”

Zain also approached with concern, asking, “Is Ashley’s situation related to Tyler?”

Valentin’s tone was cold. “Yes. Andrew just interrogated him. Tyler took advantage of the

drowning incident and used a specially crafted micro-needle to puncture Ashley’s arm. The

needle contained a dangerous drug he privately developed…” After a pause, he continued,

“Richard has already led a team to study those yellow drugs, and results will be available

soon.”

Karen’s face was filled with sorrow as if she had aged ten years in an instant. “Andrew is

here too? But Ashley…”

Watching her daughter in a coma on the hospital bed, Karen was consumed by profound

anxiety.

George pondered for a moment, his voice unusually deep. “Does Tyler have more to say?”

His meticulous thoughts seemed to have guessed something.

Valentin paused, nodding slightly. “Tyler uses Ashley’s safety in exch for the Pliskin

family’s assets.”

Upon hearing this, Brian was furious and scolded loudly, “How dare h take advantage of

Ashley? If he’s got the guts, he should come for me instead!”

Lester looked at the unconscious Ashley on the hospital bed without saying a word, his

eyes deep and serious. If his sister couldn’t wake up, not to mention Tyler wanting the

Pliskin family’s assets, even if he wanted his life…

After Andrew arrived at the hospital, he didn’t enter the ward but waited outside the

corridor.

Colby silently accompanied him, wisely refraining from too much

Chapter 365

speech.

Now, Tyler was clinging to life with barely a breath left. However, he refused to reveal how

to wake Ashley up. Did this mean that only by surrendering the Pliskin family’s assets

could she be revived?

A gloomy and depressive atmosphere pervaded the entire ward.

Finally, in the evening, Richard walked over, a bit fatigued but still vigilant. He looked at

Valentin and said, “I collaborated with dozens of senior professors and conducted

professional analysis using specialized instruments. The yellow substance does indeed

contain dangerous components. Even a small dose can cause extremely hazardous

reactions. If the human body comes into contact and absorbs it, dizziness will occur,

followed by a coma. Then comes persistent high fever until organ failure, and eventually,

death.”

Upon hearing the word “death,” Karen’s face turned pale instantly, stumbling back several

steps.

Lester immediately supported his mother.

Brian asked anxiously, “Richard, is there any medicine to control this condition?”

Richard sighed and shook his head slightly. “The medication to control the condition

requires long-term experimental research. It’s not something that can be developed

overnight. But Ms. Ramos is alre a coma, and time is very tight. I am afraid there will be no

time to for the drug to be developed, and Ms. Ramos may…”

Karen’s heart tightened, and tears welled up in her eyes. Holding he daughter’s hand

tightly, she felt a sudden stabbing pain. Panicking, s said, “It’s so hot. Ashley has started

to have a fever.”

Valentin’s eyes darkened suddenly. Holding Ashley’s delicate wrist, he could clearly feel

her elevated body temperature.

George immediately called the doctor. Whether it was physical cooling or intravenous

treatment, they had to bring down her high fever.

However, after three hours, there was still no improvement.

Just as Richard mentioned, it started with a continuous high fever. Next would be organ

failure, no recovery, and eventual death.

Andrew, who had been waiting outside the ward, saw this scene. The

Chapter 365

emotions in his eyes were more profound than the night outside. Suddenly, he turned and

walked away.

Colby was stunned and wondered where Andrew was going.

Without much thought, Colby quickly followed.

Inside the ward, Karen held Ashley’s hand tightly with one hand and gently touched her

quiet, lifeless brows with the other. Her heart ached.

The words Richard said kept lingering in her ears. “Dizziness, followed by a coma, then

comes persistent high fever until organ failure, and eventually, death.”

Karen’s eyes turned red, her throat felt blocked, and tears silently flowed from the corners

of her eyes.

She cried to herself. ‘Ashley… My daughter… Why must you endure so much suffering

from the very beginning? It’s been a challenging journey for me to find you. Why must we

face this hardship once again?

‘If only you hadn’t been lost initially… If you had grown up by my side from the start… It’s

all my fault. I failed to take care of you. I owe you an apology.’

Karen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and

suddenly turned to look at Brian. Her voice was resolute. “I Tyler wants the Pliskin family’s

assets, give it to him! I just want my daughter to be safe!”

Lester had been waiting eagerly and immediately said, “I have no objections.”

George remained silent, but his attitude was clear, supporting his mother’s decision.

Joseph and Claire watched this scene, unable to stay indifferent. The influence and wealth

of the Pliskin family were something many aspired to but found unattainable.

By trading it to Tyler, what they relinquished was not just vast wealth but also the

authority that had placed them above the masses. To descend from the clouds to the mud,

all for a daughter they had only recently reunited with, how many people could reach such

a point?

Now, for Ashley, they were willing to give up everything.

Brian embraced Karen’s shoulders, his eyes determined. “I’ll go find Tyler and talk to him

personally. We will definitely get our daughter back.”

Zain, witnessing this, felt both worried and relieved.

He was worried because Ashley was in danger, and it was uncertain when she would wake

up.

And he was relieved because Ashley finally found her family, her parents and brother, who

would wholeheartedly care for her. This was the real family.

Brian patted his wife’s shoulder and turned to leave the ward.

George quickly followed. “Father, I’ll go with you.”

Brian nodded and then looked at Lester, speaking with concern. “Take care of your mother

and sister.”

Lester nodded, his gaze determined.

Valentin watched this scene and pressed his lips slightly.

When Brian and George left the ward, Zain suddenly stood up from his chair, making a

loud noise as it scraped back.

“Grandpa, are you alright?” Joseph quickly asked.

Brian turned instinctively, looking at Zain. “Mr. Zain Kingsley, what’s wrong?”

Zain stood up, a glint of excitement in his eyes, then furrowed his brow and remained

silent.

Valentin asked in a deep voice, “Grandpa?”

After hesitating for several seconds, Zain spoke. “I just remembered a man. Perhaps he

has a way to save Ashley, but…”

“But what is it, Grandpa? Please, tell us quickly!” Joseph couldn’t wait as soon as he heard

there was a way to save Ashley.

Full of hope, Brian and Karen looked at Zain.

George and Lester also became nervous.

Zain sighed heavily, finally saying, “The man I’m talking about is Leonard Ferguson.”

“Leonard Ferguson…” Claire said in doubt, “He’s a renowned doctor with great skill. He

could rival even death himself, but he passed away several years ago.”

Zain waved his hand. “That’s because he didn’t want to see patients anymore. He

released news that he had died, but he is still alive. His medical skills are unmatched.

Maybe he has a way to cure Ashley, but he has retired and is stubborn. I’m afraid he won’t

help out easily.”

Joseph twisted his eyebrows and wondered how this could be.

Valentin, who had been silent since just now, suddenly said, “I will invite him, no matter

what.”

Brian was taken aback, looking at him emotionally. “Valentin…”

Valentin looked at Ashley lying on the hospital bed, his hand touching her slightly fevered

cheek. His voice was softer than the gentle breeze. “Ashley is my wife. I’m willing to do

anything for her.”

After saying that, he turned and left the ward.

Watching Valentin leave, Lester sighed softly.

Before, he always felt that Valentin had abducted his sister. Now, he seemed to

understand why Ashley liked him so much.
