Chapter 635 Finding Someone
She felt Ruth's pulse, her expression becoming more serious. After a while, she withdrew her hand and walked out of the room.
Deborah quickly asked, "Elara, how is she?"
"Chieftain, Ruth has been feeling unwell for quite some time. Why didn't she speak up earlier?"
The chieftain replied, "Ruth never mentioned anything bad to us Is her current condition not good?"
Elara shook her head and said, "The situation is very serious. Ruth has a cardiovascular disease. What used to be a minor ailment has now developed into a major one. I'm afraid Ruth may not make it."
Upon hearing this, Deborah was stunned, her face turning pale.
Erin, who was beside her, burst into tears, saying, "Aunt Elara, please save Grandma. You are the best healer here; there is no illness you cannot cure."
Elara learned her healing skills from a healer named Rebecca Walker.
Rebecca was trapped in a hunter's trap while exploring the mountains and was rescued by the Lumirians who were passing by.
The tribe brought Rebecca to Deborah, and in gratitude, Rebecca offered to repay them.
Deborah asked her to teach Elara, who was only seven or eight years old at the time, as a repayment.
Rebecca agreed, and that was how Elara became skilled in healing, earning the title of the best healer in the tribe.
"Elara, there must be a solution," Deborah urged.
Elara looked troubled and said, "Deborah, it's not that I don't want to help Ruth. It's a cardiovascular disease, and we don't have the medical resources here to cure her."
Deborah furrowed her brow and said, "Cardiovascular disease is not incurable. You've treated similar patients before, and they improved with your medicine, right?"
Elara explained, "The previous cases were milder. Ruth's symptoms are different."
Deborah's eyes showed a hint of sadness; she said, "Do we just have to watch her leave us?"
Elara fell silent and said, "All creatures created by God will die one day. Besides, Ruth is already sixty."
She was no longer young.
Deborah understood this but felt uncomfortable. After all, she and Ruth were close in age and had a good relationship.
At that moment, Nora's voice rang out. "Miss. Elara, what are the patient's symptoms? Has her illness reached the point beyond recovery?"
Upon hearing Nora's voice, Elara turned to her, her brow furrowed. She said, "Why did you follow us here? You are not welcome here; leave immediately!"
Nora didn't respond to her words but said, "Miss. Elara, I am also a doctor. Why not let me take a look at the patient?"
"Not necessary," Elara replied coldly.
Deborah, seeing Nora and her companions dressed differently and hearing Nora claim to be a doctor, spoke up quickly, "Elara, don't be rude. Who are they?"
Before Elara could respond, Nora said, "Hello, are you the chieftain here? I'm Nora, and we are here to find someone."
"What are you looking for?" Deborah asked.
"Shut up! I don't have time to chat with you now; leave immediately!" Elara interrupted Nora, urging them to leave once again.
Nora naturally didn't leave at that. She looked at Deborah and said, "Chieftain, set aside my matters for now. I overheard your conversation just now. I am a doctor as well. Why not let me take the patient's pulse?"
Upon hearing this, Deborah nodded. "Alright, please come in."
Elara had said there was no hope, but she wanted to see whether there was still a chance. In case Nora's medical skills surpassed Elara's, she let Nora in.
Elara hesitated for a moment but followed them inside.
Inside the room, Nora sat on the edge of the bed and took Ruth's pulse.
Like Elara, she was serious as she felt the pulse.
Elara watched her sitting motionless, with a cold smile on her face.
Nora claimed that she was a doctor, and Elara was curious to see what she could discern.
After finishing taking the pulse, Nora turned to Deborah and said, "Ruth has a cardiovascular disease. Further examination is needed to determine the specific illness."
Upon hearing this, Elara couldn't help but sneer, "You heard my diagnosis earlier. If you don't have real skills, don't pretend here."
Nora fell silent for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Ruth likely has a cardiac vascular sarcoma, also known as cardiac cancer. For elderly individuals, this disease is essentially a death sentence."
Elara was stunned. She stared at Nora intently, a storm raging in her heart.
She had suspected the same, which was why she told Deborah there was no hope.
And now, Nora had also diagnosed it!
She diagnosed a patient's condition just by feeling their pulse.
Was Nora lucky, or did she truly have the ability?
"So, she really has no hope, right?" Deborah's heart sank upon hearing the word cancer, disappointment evident in her eyes.
It seemed like Ruth couldn't be saved!
"There is hope for her," Nora spoke up.
Deborah's sinking heart suddenly lifted. She said, "Do you mean Ruth can still be saved?"
"Yes, Ruth can be saved," Nora affirmed.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Elara couldn't help but scoff, "Don't make empty promises here. Giving people hope only to disappoint them later is even more cruel."
Nora glanced at her and said, "Miss. Elara, we were just discussing a medical competition. If I manage to save this elderly person, would you agree to my request?"
Elara naturally understood her request.
Nora wanted Aaron to be released.
Elara remained silent, observing Nora.
Initially, she had yet to take Nora seriously. But Nora's quick diagnosis of Ruth's condition made Elara reconsider.
And now, Nora boldly claimed she could save Ruth.
Was she truly capable of saving Ruth, or was she finding excuses to buy time?
Because Aaron was here, Nora intended to seek help.
As Deborah grew impatient, she said, "As long as you can save her, feel free to make any request."
Upon hearing Deborah's words, Nora smiled and said, "Alright, chieftain. I have only one condition. If I can save Ruth, please have Ms. Elara release my boyfriend."
Deborah was slightly taken aback by this and asked, "Elara, did you detain her boyfriend?"
"Yes." Nora nodded.
Deborah looked at Elara, displeased, asking, "Elara, why did you detain her boyfriend?"
