Chapter 72 Don’t Get Emotionally Involved
“No, no, Levi, I …” Jared was about to speak, the corner of his eyes touched Ruby who had gone and returned, and he shut up at once.
Ruby walked up to the car and raised her hand to knock on the window.
Jared hurriedly rolled down the window, his hand over his phone, and looked at Ruby.
“I left my stuff in your car.” Ruby pointed to the back.
Jared hurriedly came to his senses and opened the back door.
Ruby opened the door and picked up the document that had fallen on the floor, turned around and left, without even giving Jared a second glance from start to finish.
Jared waited for her to walk away before he sighed in relief and put the phone to his ear.
“You’re with Ruby?”
The phone had been ringing on Levi’s side and Ruby was speaking neither too loudly nor too quietly, just loud enough for him to hear clearly.
Jared’s heart thumped before he responded, “Didn’t she send over some ointment that was particularly good for treating traumatic injuries? It was agreed that it would be delivered once a month, and today happened to be the time to deliver the medicine, so she dropped by to give me some medicine and ended up leaving something in my car.”
Levi hung up the phone straight away.
Jared was confused, but thinking that Levi would definitely look for himself for the ointment, so he hurriedly called Ruby, “Miss Harold, I just lied to Levi in order to help you hide it, saying that you were here to bring me the ointment, you must give me the ointment today, otherwise, I might die.”
“Heh.” Ruby snorted and hung up the phone straight away.
In front of her at this moment was a middle-aged man covered in tubes. The man looked weak, and because he had not seen sunlight for years, even the capillaries beneath his skin were clearly visible.
When Ruby saw this man’s face, she was slightly startled and felt some familiarity.
But soon her attention was drawn away from the various statistics of his body and she did not stare at the other man’s face again.
The man has been in a coma for a full twenty years, and all the statistics are not promising.
After the use of the experimental medicine, there was a little improvement, but it was still far from awakening.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Well?” Dr. Moore was nervous.
There are twenty patients in this batch undergoing clinical trials of experimental drugs, and all of them are recovering well except for the patient in front of them whose data is somewhat problematic.
Most of those who have been in a coma for no more than five years are awake and are currently recovering very well and their intelligence has not been affected in any way.
“Can we get a report on this patient’s treatment for the past twenty years? I suspect he has a very serious drug resistance of his own and must know the medication used in the past twenty years before I can judge how to treat him.” Ruby gave the patient a brief examination and found that it was a medical miracle that he had survived as long as he had.
Twenty years ago, medical equipment was very backward and he was in an accident and fell into a deep coma. Under normal circumstances, his family would have given up on treatment, but instead of giving up, his family has persevered until now.
“I’ll have to ask the patient’s family about that, this patient is a bit special, he’s a member of the Hussain family.” Dr. Moore hesitated for a moment before he spoke up to explain.
“What’s wrong with the Hussain family?” Ruby didn’t know much about these families in the country, and there were no Hussain surnames in Sea City anyway.
“The Hussain family is one of the four great families in the capital, and their family has a terrifying background.” Dr. Moore looked at Ruby and knew she didn’t understand, so he seriously gave her a little science.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s the Hussain family or whatever, he’s my patient now, go ask them for the treatment records. I need to know all the records of his treatment during the twenty years, every medication and how much of it was used. Tell them to do it as soon as possible, don’t delay if they want him to live.”
Ruby waved her hand, not very interested and sent Dr. Moore out to ask for information.
She circled around the man and examined him carefully, noticing that the man was really in a bit of a strange state of health.
“Strange, what kind of medicine was used?”
Ruby looked at him for a while, but she could not figure out.
By now Dr. Moore had returned, and seeing her frowning, he thought that something was wrong with the patient and was startled, “What! Is there something wrong with the patient?”
“No, it’s a bit strange. When will his treatment records arrive?” Ruby shook her head, not explaining too much.
Dr. Moore sighed with relief and gave Ashley Hussain, who was lying there, another glance before answering Ruby’s question, “The Hussain family said that the early treatment records were all handwritten and were over at the General Hospital of the Military, so they are going over there now to see if they can find them. The rest will be transmitted over to our side later.”
“Okay. Take some of his blood and also hair and skin tissue, I need to do a test.” Ruby didn’t ask any more questions about this matter, got another researcher to come over and instructed.
The researcher glanced at Ruby, his face could not help but redden, and after answering, he lowered his head and went to get the tools to draw blood.
Ruby stood there and waited.
“Grandpa? Can I come in?” At that moment, a tentative voice came from outside the ward, very faintly.
Ruby frowned and glanced at Dr. Moore.
This ward is a special ward, where all patients are admitted for clinical trials of experimental drugs, and no one else is allowed near the ward unless they are researchers involved in this trial.
This is a rule of the Institute.
Dr. Moore’s face didn’t look good either, he coughed and looked awkwardly at Ruby, “I’ll take care of it.”
Ruby said, “Dr. Moore, the matter of experimental drugs is of vital importance, these drugs are attaching much intention by many people, even a group of domestic mercenaries have already come in just to get the data of the experimental drugs. Once the data is leaked, it will be an incalculable loss for the whole H Country. In front of such matters, I hope you can put aside personal feelings.”
She knew that Dr. Moore’s children had died early and now there was only one granddaughter left, who was usually very precious, so she was afraid that he might get emotionally involved, so she warned him.
Dr. Moore paused in his steps at this before walking out of the ward with a not-so-good look on his face.
When Dr. Moore exited the ward, he saw Amelia standing outside the door.
“Grandpa, it’s almost time for dinner, I’ve come to accompany you to dinner.” Seeing that Dr. Moore came out, Amelia immediately changed into a sweet smile and reached out to take Dr. Moore’s arm.
Dr. Moore withdrew his hand and looked at her for a moment before reminding, “This is an important area of the laboratory, you are not allowed to enter without permission. I have made it very clear to you when I first recruited you in.”
Amelia’s face changed and she admitted her mistake with a good attitude, “I’m sorry grandpa, I, I just thought of coming over to ask you to join me for dinner. I will definitely abide by the lab’s system in the future, I will definitely not run around, don’t be angry, okay?”
What Ruby said inside just now was clearly heard by Amelia, and she did not expect that Dr. Moore would actually criticize her so harshly for an outsider.
