Chapter 368
In the ward, Brian saw that Valentin was tired from a long day and kindly suggested.
“Valentin, you should rest for a bit.”
But Valentin was focused entirely on Ashley, his heart tense with worry. He couldn’t think
about resting.
“It’s okay, I’m not tired,” Valentin replied.
Brian thought about persuading him further but then realized that Valentin, so worried
about Ashley, wouldn’t want to rest.
He felt the same way. He couldn’t bear to leave the ward and be away from his daughter.
So
Brian stopped insisting. He turned to pour a glass of water for Karen and soothingly put his
arm around her shoulders.
Lester looked especially down today. Gazing at Ashley lying in a coma on the hospital bed,
looking lifeless, his handsome face was filled with despair and guilt. ‘Did the Pliskin family
bring this trouble to Ashley?
‘If it weren’t for the Pliskin family, would Tyler have taken revenge on her?
‘Even though she’s usually so strong, standing up for others, turning tides. in difficult
times, at the end of the day, she’s still just a young girl. She shouldn’t have to suffer like

George patted Lester on the shoulder and led him out of the ward.
“What’s wrong, George?” Lester asked in a hoarse voice in the hallway.
George, known for his stern expression, rarely showed his emotions. Compared to him,
Lester, usually smiling, now looked gloomy and repressed.
George was silent for a few seconds, his gaze distant as if he was. reminiscing. His

“I still remember when Ashley was just a baby. She was so tiny that a small toy could
make her giggle. She would look up with her big eyes and reach out her little hands for a
hug. I’ve never seen such a cute child. I thought then that my little sister was the cutest
baby in the world…”
George recalled, picturing Ashley as a delicate and cute doll.
Lester was stunned, not expecting George to talk about Ashley’s childhood and say so
much suddenly.
Lester didn’t remember much about Ashley’s childhood, unlike George.
“Unfortunately…” George’s expression suddenly turned cold. “Ashley was only with us for
a few months before Tyler secretly took her away, forcing her to leave us when she was so
little…”
After a brief pause, George continued seriously, “Lester, Ashley is our sister, the treasure
of the Pliskin family. She suffered a lot growing up away from us. We must find her and
make up for the lost time, giving her a better life.
“Now, seeing her in a coma because of Tyler, it’s not what we wanted. But instead of
feeling guilty, what we should do is make those who hurt Ashley pay and ensure that no
one can ever hurt her again. Understand?”
No one can ever hurt Ashley again…
As these words were spoken, Lester’s mind shook violently. Filled with guilt and despair,
his heart suddenly surged with tumultuous waves.
Yes, his most important task was to protect and safeguard Ashley…
To ensure that no one could ever harm her again…

By nightfall, after a day of observation, Ashley’s fever had subsided, and the initial danger
had passed. Her condition was temporarily stable.
Leonard carefully examined her and found that, as he had guessed, all of Ashley’s physical
indicators were normal. However, she remained unconscious with no sign of waking up.
Logically, if her body was normal, she shouldn’t be unconscious. This was the strange
aspect of her illness.
“Mr. Ferguson, what do you think we should do?” Karen asked, full of
worry.

After pondering for a moment, Leonard, recognizing that modern
medicine would be of little use since her physical indicators were normal, prescribed a
traditional medicine formula. He then said, “Starting today, I will perform acupuncture on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAshley daily, combined with these medicines. In about seven days, we should see some
results.”
Brian couldn’t help but ask, “See some results in seven days? Mr. Ferguson, are you saying
Ashley could be cured in seven days?”
Leonard didn’t jump to conclusions, simply stating, “Let’s start with today’s acupuncture.
I’ll stay here for the next few days so I can be immediately aware of any changes in
Ashley.”
Brian and Karen exchanged glances, unable to discern whether this was good or bad
news.
Valentin’s eyes were clouded with turmoil. His rigid back, as if his soul had been extracted,
remained fixated on the unconscious Ashley on the hospital bed, not moving an inch for a
long time…
Throughout these seven days, Valentin had stayed by Ashley’s bedside without leaving.
During the day, Joseph and Claire would bring Zain to see Ashley.
Joseph visibly noticed that Valentin had lost weight, understanding that these days of
Ashley’s unconsciousness had stretched Valentin to his limits despite him not saying
much.
Even Andrew came to the hospital every day to see Ashley. However, mostly stayed
outside the ward, alone, his gaze solemnly fixed on the sleeping Ashley.
Today was the last acupuncture session. As Leonard administered the needles, everyone
held their breath, waiting beside him, wondering wha the outcome Leonard spoke of would
be….
