Chapter 82 Enquiries
“Is there something wrong?” Seeing that Ruby was hesitant to make a move, Patrick’s originally closed eyes opened and looked at her suspiciously.
Ruby returned to her senses, collected the thoughts in her mind, twirled the silver needle in her hand, found the right place to place the needle, and quickly placed it.
The whole procedure lasted for two hours and after the needles were applied, Ruby was covered in sweat.
Ruby looked at the plum blossom birthmark for a long time before pulling the quilt to cover him up and taking the mobile phone out to make a call.
“Ruby, why do you have time to call Grandma?” On the other end of the phone, Grandma’s old voice came through, with a very obvious joy within her tone.
“Grandma, the plum blossom birthmark on my body,” As Ruby had just started to ask about the birthmark, she was interrupted by her grandmother.
“Oh, the plum blossom birthmark, that is the heritage of our family, as long as it is the bloodline of the Grant family, there will be on their bodies. You have it on your body, your mother also has it on her body, what’s wrong?” Grandma was in good spirits when she talked about the old days, and only after a pause did she add, “When our family reaches this generation, there is only your grandfather’s line left. Your grandfather and I have only one child, and your mother only has one child, so when you have a child, it will have plum blossom birthmark too.”
“Is it? Is there something special about this plum blossom birthmark? Only the bloodline of the Grant family has it?” Ruby had not heard her grandmother mention these things in the past.
Since Nellie and Grandpa passed away, Grandma would rarely talk about these things.
“That’s a sign of the Grant family’s bloodline, only a strong bloodline will result in the plum blossom birthmark. Why are you suddenly asking about it? Is there something wrong with the plum blossom birthmark on your body?” Grandma explained before she became a little worried.
“It’s nothing, Grandma, I was just asking casually. I seem to have seen other people with plum blossom birthmarks.” Ruby said perfunctorily.
“That’s impossible, it’s not possible, there won’t be anyone else with this birthmark on them.” Her grandmother rejected Ruby very firmly.
Ruby did not explain too much, and after a few words of concern for the old lady’s health, she hung up the phone.
When she entered again, Patrick was awake and his face looked much better than before.
Seeing Ruby enter, he smiled at her and sat up from the bed, “I feel much better in spirit than before, thank you.”
“It’s just a trade of equals, you give me what I need and I’ll cure you.” Ruby put the phone away and replied. Originally she wanted to ask him about the birthmark, but she didn’t for feeing it was impropriate.
“When is the next treatment time?” When Patrick saw Ruby said this, he didn’t say anything else.
“Come back here after a week. I will give you a prescription, take three meals a day according to the prescription, and I will adjust the prescription after a week according to your health condition. Remember what I reminded you before, don’t eat indiscriminately.” Ruby said, walked over and took a pen and paper to write down the prescription and handed it to Patrick.
Patrick picked it up. Ruby’s writing was pale, strong and wantonly scribbled, nothing like her well-behaved appearance.
He put the prescription away before nodding, “Okay, go to the private restaurant in the west of the city, I know.”
After explaining what should be explained, Ruby sent Patrick out.

District 7, Levi’s face was gloomy, Chester lowered his head, his face full of guilt: “I’m sorry Lev, it’s me who didn’t protect my men, they …”
The injuries of these men were very serious to the core, and even with the excellent medical equipment here in District 7, they still could not be saved.
“Go and collect your own punishment.” After dropping a faint sentence, Levi went to check on the condition of a few of his most seriously injured brothers.
“Levi, they have injured their lifeblood, I really have no choice, but if Miss Harold comes, she might be able to save them.” Jared’s eyes were ruddy, he was always neat and tidy, but at this moment he looked unkempt and bearded, obviously he hadn’t closed his eyes for a day and a night.
“What?” Levi narrowed his eyes at him.
Jared stoop up and his body shook before he managed to stand firmly, “Last time her brother was hurt so badly, she healed him with a simple note. Levi, I take back what I said before, your fiancee is really extraordinary. For her medical skills, I reckon only the ancient doctors inside the few ancient families of the Chinese hermitage have this level. ”
“Levi, I’m afraid it won’t last for a few hours.” A few of the other doctors had stopped by now, their faces full of exhaustion.
Levi’s heart couldn’t help but sink.
Every single person in District 7 was trained by him personally and the bond was extraordinary.
He thought that investigating an underground black market would be an easy job, but he never thought that so many people would fall down.
All seven people lying here could die.
“I know.” Levi closed his eyes and collected all the emotions under his eyes before he took his mobile phone to call Ruby.
When Ruby received the call from Levi, she happened to be checking Patrick’s profile.
The phone came in and she picked it up straight away and put it on the table on speakerphone, “Mr. Fiance, what can I do for you?”
“I need your help, I have a few people here who are very badly injured and may be dying soon.” Levi’s voice was low.
“I …” Ruby frowned and sat up straight, holding the phone in her hand.
“Don’t be in a hurry to reject me, as long as you promise to save them, I can agree you with everything.” Levi interrupted Ruby’s words.
Ruby had no intention of refusing, so when she heard him say this, her mind changed and she simply agreed.
After asking for the address, Ruby went straight out the door.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
District 7 is a military priority area, where foreign vehicles are not allowed to enter. Ruby took a taxi to the vicinity and saw Chester waiting there.
“Miss Harold.” When Chester saw Ruby again, his expression was somewhat complicated.
Last time when Ruby was here, he looked down on Ruby and even gave a report to Amelia, now he felt ashamed when he thought about it.
Ruby nodded and gestured for him to lead the way, following behind the man into the mountain.
“Miss Harold, quick, there’s a man who can’t hold on much longer and is about to die.” Ruby and Chester were only halfway, they encountered Jared, who had hurriedly run out.
As the two men rushed into the infirmary, all they heard was a voice with a deep pain coming through, “Levi, he is dead.”
When Jared heard these words, he was dumbfounded, and his body, which had lasted all day and all night, finally could not hold on and swayed a little before falling onto the ground.
Ruby raised her hand to help him, and Chester came over to support him too. Ruby lifted her feet and walked over, glancing at the man who had just died, and was silent for a moment before speaking indifferently, “There is still a breath.”
