Chapter 48 Are the Harold family Stupid?
Ruby’s face was serious, and her pair of eyes stood out in the light of the operating table, and Jared could not resist looking at them a few more times.
He had originally held a bit of contempt for Ruby, but had now completely changed his mind.
He would not be able to reach Ruby’s level in another ten years of study. Moreover, Ruby’s skills in performing surgery were unfamiliar to him, at least he had not learnt them when he was studying medicine.
The operation lasted four hours. Ruby did not rest throughout and waited until the final stitches were completed before dropping the knife in her hand.
“Why is my brother in your place?”
She pulled the mask off her face and looked at Jared with a bemused expression.
She didn’t bother to pretend anything when the Harold family was not there.
Jared had not yet recovered from the shock of what had just happened when he suddenly heard her voice, “What?”
“Why is my brother in your place and not in the hospital? Explain it.” Ruby repeated in a good temper.
If she hadn’t seen that Kevin’s injuries had obviously been treated when she arrived, she would have taken action.
“Someone sent him to me. If even I can’t save a patient, others …”
Seeing Ruby in front of him, Jared swallowed the words back consciously, not daring to be arrogant.
“You’re so good at healing, who did you learn it from? I’ve been studying medicine for so many years and I’ve never seen such techniques. Did you learn both Chinese and Western medicine?” Jared didn’t continue the topic and changed the subject very stiffly.
Ruby did not answer his words, took off the blood-stained disposable gloves and threw them into the bin aside.
“Get him to the ward, he needs a blood transfusion. The blood type is B.”
Ruby gave a command to the nurse with admiration in her eyes, who hurriedly agreed and sent Kevin to the ward for a blood transfusion.
Ruby went to wash her hands and had them carefully disinfected before coming out of the operating room.
Jared hurriedly chased after her, “Which master did you learn your medical skills from? Can’t you tell me?”
“You’re nosy.” Ruby gave a glance at Jared.
This clinic looks small, but the equipment inside is first class, not much worse than the best city hospital in Sea City, so Jared is not as simple as he looks on the surface.
This was clear to Ruby from the moment she entered the door.
She didn’t believe what Jared said. Kevin wasn’t sent over here, but Jared should have followed someone to pick up Kevin from the police station.
But Jared said nothing, and she didn’t bother to ask.
“Is your brother all right?” Jared rubbed his nose, he was simply curious.
Now, he can’t understand how she can be so skilled in medicine, she is obviously an abandoned daughter of the Harold family.
If word got out about this medical skill, many rich people would be willing to beg for Ruby to come to their doorstep for treatment, the connections involved were no joke.
As long as the Harold family can grasp this point properly, it is not much of a problem for them to overtake the Finn family in the future.
Jared could not help but look at Ruby for a few more moments.
The woman in front of him has a cold face and looks very young, no more than twenty years old at most, with dark pupils, like a black vortex that one can’t help but sink into just by looking at her.
By the time Jared came back to his senses, Ruby had already turned around and gone to Kevin’s ward.
He was secretly shocked by the feeling of that moment just now that made him look at Ruby differently.
Ruby went to the ward. Kevin was still weak, the effect of the anaesthesia had not worn off and he had not woken up yet.
Jared went to have a look and ran off to find Levi.
Levi was inside the clinic’s office, and he could see everything in the operating theatre clearly from the surveillance, so naturally he saw clearly the gestures of Ruby the operation.
He had to admit that it was very subtle and special, not like traditional western medicine, something always feels wrong.
He frowned and pondered for a moment before the door to the office was pushed open and Jared came in, “Your fiancée is too good, Levi, I think you could really give it some serious consideration, she might even be better than Amelia.”
Before he could finish his words, he saw Levi’s cold eyes and stopped talking.
Levi withdrew his gaze and repeatedly looked at the details of Ruby’s surgery, his brows slightly knitted.
Jared gathered over, looking intently.
“Anything wrong?” Levi looked at it several times before he knocked on the table and asked Jared indifferently.
Jared shook his head and looked a little closer: “It is surgery, but it doesn’t quite feel like Western medicine. Does a Chinese doctor do surgery? I’ve never heard of it.”
Levi gave a cold laugh and turned off his computer.
“Where is she?”
“In the ward of her brother. What do you think of it? Do you still want to go to the trial later?” Jared pulled a chair and sat down across from Levi, asking him seriously.
Levi did not answer, but only looked thoughtfully in the direction of the door.
In the ward, Ruby sat aside and looked at Kevin who was lying on the hospital bed.
Kevin suffered a serious injury to his face and a slight concussion.
If Jared hadn’t called her in time to inform her to come over, another hour later, Kevin would have been hopeless to come back to life.
Inside the detention centre, someone wants Kevin dead, who has he offended?
Originally, Ruby only thought it was Susan’s way of framing Kevin, but now it seems that things are not that simple.
She thought of the images she had seen inside the Harold family’s surveillance and her eyes narrowed.
It took almost an hour before Kevin woke up.
The effect of the anesthetic hadn’t worn off completely and he couldn’t feel the pain of the wound.
After opening his eyes, his vision was blurred and it took him a while to see the person in front of him clearly. After seeing Ruby, he struggled to get up, “Sister.”
“Lie down. Answer whatever I ask you.” Ruby glared at Kevin and raised her hand to give him a gentle squeeze at his shoulder.
Kevin immediately felt that his body was senseless and not under his control.
“Okay.” He coughed twice before speaking weakly.
“How did have the drugs?” Ruby asked in a direct manner.
Kevin was bewildered before shaking his head, “Sister, I don’t know. I don’t have that, didn’t someone put it in my bag inside Phantom Colour?”
“No, the stuff was on you when you came out of the Harold’s house.” Ruby shook her head.
“The Harold’s? That’s Susan trying to harm me?” Kevin’s face changed and his voice was a little cold.
Not only did Susan get his mother killed, but now she wants to get him killed?
All these years he has been pretending to be a dude, and Susan actually doesn’t want to leave him alone.
“It’s not that simple. You stay here and recuperate well, I’ll go to the Harold’s.” Ruby shook her head and stood up. Looking at Kevin’s anxious face, she soothed him before she left the ward.
At the door, he saw Jared, who happened to be standing outside and raised his hand to push the door.
Jared had an embarrassed look on his face, a feeling of being caught red-handed doing something bad.
“Next time, be smarter when you eavesdrop.” Ruby glanced at Jared, said coldly, lifted her foot and walked away, leaving Jared alone in his place, his face full of devastation.
