Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 373

"Ballard, will you please hold your tongue?" Leonard knew Ballard was snarky, so he interrupted him helplessly, hurriedly stepped forward to support Valentin to lie on the next bed, and checked his body.

George and Lester walked into the ward from outside. When they saw Valentin pass out, they became nervous. "What's wrong with Valentin?"

Brian and Karen, who were behind, also worried about Valentin.

Joseph's face was full of sorrow. He didn't want to say anything, so he shook his head. "It's not a big deal. Maybe Valentin is too tired."

Leonard checked Valentin's body, frowned tightly, and looked at Joseph aside. "He hasn't had a good rest these days, has he?"

Joseph looked dazed. "He..."

'Ashley has been in a coma, and Valentin was preoccupied. His mind was burdened heavily. How can he get a good rest?' he thought.

Leonard shook his head. "Even if he is worried about Ashley, he should take care of himself. His heart couldn't bear the tiredness, so he fainted. It's a severe pain. How can he endure it like nothing serious?"

Lester was shocked when he heard Valentin had severe pain...

Brian and Karen stepped forward in panic. "Valentin..."

Joseph raised his hand to wipe his brimmed tears.

Since Ashley fell into a coma, Valentin had been contacting all the famous doctors at home and abroad every day. However, this disease was so rare that some doctors had never heard of it. Valentin didn't give up and was busy looking through all the medical references about this disease. Just now, Leonard recommended Ballard, so he went to visit Ballard without even having a meal...

Valentin was busy day and night. He didn't want Brian and Karen to stay up late at such an old age, so he kept vigil in the ward. The doctor said that Ashley's body needed to be wiped every day in case she would cause rashes on the skin from lying on the bed for a long time. So Valentin followed the doctor's instructions to carefully wipe Ashley's body with a warm towel every night and talked to her gently.

He made a physical overdraft every day, couldn't fall asleep, and had no appetite. With such no rest, he fainted.

Previously, after Valentin woke up from being hit on the head by a chandelier to save Ashley, he had a headache sequela. He would recover soon, but now Joseph always saw him reaching out to rub his temples. Probably, Valentin had the headache frequently again.

Although Ballard had a sharp tongue, he felt envious when looking at Valentin. He envied Valentin for being steadfast in love and willing to sacrifice everything for his lover, even his life.

Leonard sighed but hurriedly had an IV for Valentin.

Joseph took the chance to tell Valentin's headache to Leonard.

Leonard stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "It turns out he still has a headache sequela... I will prescribe some medicine for him. He will be fine. Don't worry."

Joseph was delighted. "Thank you so much!"

It didn't take long for Valentin to wake up. Even fainting could not let him sleep well. He sat up from the bed and saw the infusion on the back of his hand in a pale face.

George sighed and advised, "You should take a rest first. Dr. Ferguson and Dr. Dale are discussing the treatment for Ashley to help her wake up soon."

Valentin turned his head and looked over.

Ballard saw he was awake, then coughed lightly and said, "Leonard and I discussed trying to prick two more acupoints when giving Ashley acupuncture."

Leonard added, "The previous treatment was a safe method. Now, we will carefully prick two more acupoints. It will not have any side effects on Ashley. So don't worry."

Valentin asked in a hoarse voice, "What acupoints?"

Leonard told him about the treatment in detail.

Valentin read a lot of books about Ashley's disease and acupuncture these days, so he knew where these two acupoints were and what effect they would have after pricking. He thought it might be of some help to Ashley's disease, so he nodded.

Ballard was astonished again. 'Had he really read all those obscure medical books?' he wondered.

Ballard discussed the treatment with Leonard for a while. After finalizing the decision, Ballard went back first.
