Chapter 303 Secret Technique Acupuncture
Hearing that, Ruby felt as if her head was buzzing and she could not hear anything else.
Her face was white, her gaze locked on the old woman's face, her lips pursed to a dead line.
On the side, Levi's face was sullen, and he suddenly took her hand.
Ruby looked up and gave him a trance-like glance before she came back to her senses.
"Don't panic, it's going to be okay." He said, his voice low and with a soothing power.
Ruby was only momentarily lost in thought, and soon settled down and nodded, "Mm, I know."
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she realized that her voice was actually so dry and mute
that it seemed to contain sand.
She gritted her teeth, said nothing, and simply fished out the silver needles, doing her best to maintain
her composure and methodically apply them to the old lady.
She had always been calm and collected, even in the face of Olivia's repeated comas.
But for some reason, this time, her hands were shaking uncontrollably and her palms were sweaty.
A bad feeling came over her and disturbed her, and she tried her best to suppress it, but it remained in
her mind.
Fifteen minutes later, the old lady's eyelids seemed to flutter heavily before she struggled to lift them
up.
Her cloudy eyes were confused for a moment, staring at the ceiling before her eyes glanced around the
room, sliding over everyone's faces and finally landing on Ruby's face.
"Ruby," she called out to Ruby in a hoarse voice, her eyelids dropping slightly, she saw the silver
needles on her body and exhaled a faint breath, "Don’t bother, there’s no need to apply any more
needles."
Ruby was stunned by her remark, and continued to work on her hands without saying a word, pursing
her lips tightly.
Seeing her stubbornly flicking the needle and not saying anything, the old lady sighed, looking helpless.
"I know my own body, I know it well in my own heart. Ruby, do as you are told."
This sentence nearly caused Ruby to break down emotionally.
She clenched her teeth before she said in a deep voice, "Grandma, don't talk, it's not good to talk while
the needles are being administered, wait for a while until I control your body breath and then dispense
you a few medicines, your body will definitely get well again."
At these words, the old lady laughed lightly, but with little strength, and her lips were completely
bloodless.
"You should have noticed that I have little physical strength left, so what is the point of stabilizing it?"
At these words, the movement of Ruby's hands stopped, and the trembling of her fingertips was clearly
visible.
Indeed, the old lady was right.
Just before the needle was applied, Ruby took her pulse and had already noticed that her pulse was so
weak that it could barely be felt, and her body breath was even almost untraceable.
It was a sign that one was dying.
But how could she believe it?
How could she accept that her grandmother, who loved her the most, had half a foot in the coffin and
was about to part with the world and with her?
So, without saying anything, she did everything she had learned in her life and tried to apply the needle
to bring her back to life.
But as the precious time passed, the old lady's body was getting weaker and weaker, and even now,
when she spoke, her pulse was not rising and falling.
At that moment, her fingertips were cold and her body felt like it had fallen into an ice cave.
Seeing that, the old lady was very distressed and her eyes were slightly heated, but for fear of
upsetting her, she could only hold back and pretend to look at Levi calmly, smiling effortlessly.
"Levi, please control this girl, this girl is getting more and more temperamental now, I can't even talk her
out of it." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Levi's lips were pursed, his expression was complicated, and he was unable to say a word for a while.
On the side, Denis saw this and couldn't help but call out to her, his voice choking, "Cara ......"
The old lady gave him a look and closed her eyes helplessly, still smiling.
"Denis, you've been with me for most of my life, you know my nature, I don't like to see people around
me with a bitter face, because it upsets me."
Naturally, Denis knew that she was saying this on purpose, and at that moment, he took a breath, but a
layer of unbearable sadness was gathered between his brows.
Looking at her withered form, anyone could have guessed that she didn't have much time left.
And Cara knew it, she looked at Ruby again, took her hand and stroked it gently.
"Ruby, put away the needle, do not consume the effort, I don’t have much breaths and I just want to
talk to you. Before I came to the capital, I already know that my life is not long. I am afraid of the
Hussain family will lay hands on you, so I came, but I can protect you for a while, but not for a lifetime,
the road ahead ...... "
It was a great effort for her to gasp while speaking.
Ruby listened to these words like last words, and her heart felt like a big invisible hand was rubbing
hard, hurting.
Her face was taut and very stiff as she interrupted the old lady directly, her tone stubborn.
"Grandma, stop talking, or I'll be giving you needles for nothing."
With that, she drew back her hand and spread out the cloth bag with the silver needles all over it.
When the old lady saw this, her eyebrows were slightly knitted, "You girl, why don't you listen to me, do
you want to snatch me from the hands of the king of hell? Be obedient ......"
"No!" Suddenly, Ruby raised her voice and lost her temper like a child, "I won't be obedient! It's not like
I've never robbed anyone from the King of Hell before, so what if I do it one more time? No matter
what, I can't let you leave me!"
As she spoke, her eyes were red and the tip of her nose was so sore that she nearly burst into tears.
At this moment, it was like she was back in her childhood, pouting and throwing tantrums with the old
lady because the slightest thing didn't go her way.
Seeing that, the old lady couldn't help but think of the past too, and her eyes glowed with tears floating
in them.
She held out her thin, bony, wrinkled hand to Ruby, her voice choked.
"My Ruby, I do not want to leave you, but people will eventually die, I should have gone five years ago,
but I lived all these years for your sake. Now the great revenge has been taken and you have married
to a reliable man. Levi is treating you so well, Olivia's illness is also better, so I have nothing to worry
about. I am tired, so just let me go."
Ruby could not hold back any longer, bean-sized tears ran out of her eyes, and her teary eyes
continued to blur as she lost her temper.
"No! I won't let you go! How can you go when Olivia is not yet grown up? I don't agree!"
When she finished, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, a flash of determination in her eyes, and
suddenly pulled out a blade from the compartment of her cloth bag and slashed her palm.
Instantly, crimson blood emerged from the palm of her hand and everyone in the room was stunned.
"Miss Ruby!"
"Ruby! What are you doing!"
