“Where’s the plant?” I turned to Ferrill.
“Right here.” Ferrill handed me a resealable bag and gave me a hesitant look. “Are you really considering it? What if it only makes the situation worse?”
I then looked back at the plant and fell into a more painful dilemma. What am I supposed to do now?
Suddenly, the ECG monitor let out a long, sharp sound. The line on the monitor was almost running straight.
That was Sylvia’s heartbeat. It was about to stop.
Scared out of my wits, I rushed to Sylvia’s bed. “Sylvia!”
As several doctors came in for cardiac resuscitation, Ferrill had to pull me away from the bed.
The noise of the different people and instruments filled my ears with pain. I tried to shake it off, but I could already feel lightheaded.
“The patient’s main artery is untouchable.”
“The upper limb contraction pressure is less than 60mmHg.”
“Prepare for electric defibrillation.”
Despair came over me like an avalanche. Suddenly, my surroundings had been deafened. I could not hear anything until I saw Ferrill approaching me and I saw his lips moving.
I realized he was talking as I came back to my senses. “What were you saying?”
“Miss Todd has been successfully resuscitated.” But Ferrill sighed. “However, she is still in critical condition.”
All the strength I had just regained dissipated again, and my knees buckled. Ferrill had to hold me up. I clumsily pushed his hands away and made my way to the gray wolf, who was also very anxious. I handed it the plant.
“How should we use this?”
Rufus’ POV
The gray wolf turned its head and scanned the room, pouncing onto Ferrill suddenly.
Ferrill was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.
“Owoo!” The gray wolf howled and patted Ferrill’s mouth with its paw.
It must have patted with enough strength to wake Ferrill up again.
But before Ferrill could even completely open his eyes, he saw the gray wolf inches away from his face and gasped in horror. His eyelids twitched two times before losing consciousness yet again.
“Owoo!”
The gray wolf then turned to me. It pawed at Ferrill’s mouth repeatedly.
I was able to understand what it was trying to say. I plucked out a leaf from the plant and stuffed it into my mouth, spreading a bitter taste on my tongue.
“Prince Rufus, no! We still don’t know what that plant can really do!” An old doctor on the side was horrified and tried to stop me. “If something bad happens to you, what are we going to tell the lycan king?”
Ignoring him, I continued to chew the leaf and then bent down to transfer it into Sylvia’s mouth carefully.
Sylvia’s lips were very pale now. Because she was still unconscious, she didn’t swallow it, but at least the chewed leaf managed to stay in her mouth.
“Please, Sylvia. Swallow.” I softly begged, but she didn’t move.
I gently poured some water into her mouth. The water eventually spilled out, but I hoped it could help her swallow the leaf a little.
By the time I had repeated this process several times, only a small root of the plant was left.
After hesitating, I decided to chew on the last part of the plant and apply it on Sylvia’s wound which had turned black.
I calmed down a little bit after that and held Sylvia’s hand, sitting on the side of her bed. I was so anxious that it felt like my heart was rising to my throat, but Sylvia was still motionless on her bed.
“Why hasn’t anything happened yet?” I glared at the gray wolf, who was sat at the edge of the bed.
However, it ignored me and just lay on its stomach. It didn’t seem to want to talk to me anymore.
“No medicine takes effect that quickly. Just wait a little longer. If it doesn’t cause any other side effects, it should be fine.” The old doctor handed me a glass of water. “You haven’t slept all this time. Why don’t you get some rest first? We can keep an eye on Miss Todd for you.
I gratefully took the glass of water. “No, thank you. I will stay with her.”
“You’re going to get sick.”
I pursed my lips stubbornly, not saying anything.
Helplessly, the doctor sighed. “Fine. We’ll be around. If you need anything, feel free to call us.”
With that, the old doctor called for someone to move Ferrill to a safe place until he could come back to his senses.
The gray wolf quickly glanced at me and snorted, and then turned its big head away. This was the second time today it had shown disdain towards me.
I didn’t really care much about it. I just held Sylvia’s hand and gently squeezed it, praying that she would wake up soon.
Time passed, and slowly, her hand grew warm. When I felt the change in her temperature, I nudged the gray wolf who was about to fall asleep. “She’s getting warm!”
Instantly, the gray wolf jumped up, wide awake, and came closer.
Sylvia’s face was no longer as pale as it was.
I carefully rolled up her sleeved. The deathly black color on her wound had begun to fade.
Reaching up, I pushed the call button at the bed’s headboard.
The old doctor came back in no time and checked on Sylvia, only to be pleasantly surprised. “How impressive. This unknown herb worked! Her pulse and heartbeat have normalized. Miss Todd is getting better. She should wake up soon!”
