Legendary God of Harem In the Modern World

Chapter 148: A Small Sacrifice

"Ah, brother, why do you come here?" Kane asked with his innocent face. 

When he heard Kane talking to someone, the ginseng doll looked at the guest and it turned out to be Ryan. Her little mouth seemed to be tasting, like she was laughing at Ryan. Then the doll quickly climbed over Kane's shoulder.

It seemed that she had formed a strong friendship with Kane.

Ryan felt annoyed when he saw the doll's arrogant action. There would come a time when that annoying laugh became a cry for help. But it would feel like a long time since he hadn't been able to catch or even touch it at all. Today he had to beg the ginseng doll to give him her blood.

Ryan then walked over to Kane and the ginseng doll slowly. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Seeing Ryan opening his mouth, this ginseng doll also imitated him.She was like a baby learning to speak.

Alright, this doll didn't understand human language.

However, Ryan must not fail today. Valerie's grandmother's life was at stake so he couldn't let this doll get away again.

"Can I ask for your blood?" Ryan asked the ginseng doll.

He felt stupid when he said that. How could this doll give it away for free? They had been enemies.

Not understanding what Ryan meant, this ginseng doll just laughed while imitating Ryan's mouth movements.

"Bro, what are you going to do with that blood?" Kane asked with a confused face.

"I need it to save someone's life," Ryan then sat down with a helpless face beside Kane. He finally realized how important communication was.

After thinking about it, Ryan changed his way of speaking to sign language.

"Please give me a drop of your blood," Ryan stuck out his index finger and thanks to his inner strength, a drop of blood came out from his index finger.

Seeing the blood spilling out and Ryan's pleading expression, the ginseng doll's expression suddenly changed. Then she shook her head with all her might. She jumped off Kane's shoulder and landed on the floor, as if preparing to run away at any moment.

The reaction of this ginseng doll was not surprising. Since she had been absorbing earth and sky essence for hundreds of years, all parts of her body were a treasure trove. Especially her blood which possessed all of that essence. And now Ryan was frankly targeting her because he wanted her blood. Who would not be afraid of that?

"Wait! Help me prevent her from leaving!" Ryan said to Kane.

Kane quickly tried to persuade the doll not to leave. Under the serious gaze of his brother, Kane managed to persuade his best friend to stay here. However, the ginseng doll stared at Ryan with a gaze full of hatred.

The doll felt that Ryan was a selfish person. Humans were indeed greedy creatures who only thought about themselves.

The mouth of the ginseng doll did not stop moving, it looked like she was babbling something. She expressed her grief all this time.

"I really need a drop of your blood. Otherwise my loved ones will die," although the doll understood what Ryan was saying, she tried to explain it slowly through hand movements and other gestures.

"That person will die, you know die right? Like this," Ryan rolled his eyes until they looked white and his face turned pale. Then he fell backwards while not breathing. Seeing this cute thing, the ginseng doll couldn't stop laughing.

Ryan then stood up and saw the doll smiling at him. He felt a little stupid for trying to communicate with a supernatural being like her.

However, the ginseng doll just couldn't laugh when Ryan tried to explain it again in the same way.

Ryan had to endure the embarrassment from trying to negotiate for the doll's blood. Today was destined to be a shitty day filled with sad events for him.

"Bro, let me try to talk to her," Kane said to Ryan. Then Kane turned towards the ginseng doll and took out a drop of blood from his forefinger. Quickly and with all its strength, the doll shook her head. Ryan immediately sighed.

"We only need a drop of your blood," Kane said with a serious face. "With that, my brother here can save people's lives." 

The doll was still shaking her head, but when she saw the serious face of her friend, her expression began to change somehow.

Ryan, looking from the side, prayed silently that this would work. Kane kept looking at the doll with a serious face and the doll's expression turned sad.

After being stared at by Kane for a long time, the doll stopped shaking its head and raised it. She then hesitantly stretched out her hand and with a great reluctance, she drew blood from it. Suddenly, a ball shaped bead came out in her hand and she gave it to Kane.

Ryan saw this with a happy expression, he then stretched his finger to take it from Kane. And miraculously, the blood-filled bead rolled itself onto Ryan's finger.

The blood from this ginseng doll was unique. It was white in color and had a soft and smooth texture.

After giving the blood, the ginseng doll jumped and landed on Kane's head. She grabbed Kane's hair and shouted into his head, as if complaining about Kane for making her do that.

Kane only smiled when he saw his friend. Ryan then thanked Kane and quickly bought a test tube to store the precious blood. After that, he headed straight for the hospital.

Apart from Valerie, there was a middle-aged husband and wife who also sat beside her grandmother's bed. The wife seemed to have been crying all day and her eyes were swollen. Meanwhile, the man had a serious face but his eyes looked blank.

Needless to say, those two must be Valerie's parents.

At this time, Valerie was still crying softly when she saw the many doctors and nurses surrounding her grandmother who was still in a coma. Other visitors and other patients who saw this could only send their condolences to their hearts.

"Doc, is there no other way to save her?" Valerie's father asked.

"We have tried our best," a senior doctor looked at Valerie's father. "Her condition continued to decline every second. Unfortunately, she is in the final stages of her life. We can only prolong her life as long as possible but it can't be more than three days,"

Hearing this, Valerie's mother wiped her tears and stood up. "Please save my mother. Money is not a problem, just save my mother!"

"Sorry, it's not about money. She is already old and cannot be saved," the doctor sighed. "I hope the family is ready to let her go,"

However, Ryan appeared and walked into the room.

"Valerie..."

Hearing that familiar voice, Valerie lifted her head and saw Ryan's figure.

"Ryan..." Valerie was still shedding tears.

"Stop crying already. I'll save your grandmother," the man said with a smile.

But when the doctors and nurses heard this, they all gave Ryan a sharp look.

"Young man, don't say nonsense," the senior doctor immediately frowned. He had been a doctor for decades and he had handled thousands of cases, and now there's a random young guy who said the woman's fate would be different? He even bragged about saving his patients!

For him, not all patients could be saved. They were doctors, not magicians!

"Son, I know you want to comfort our child," Valerie's father said to Ryan. "But we can't go against God's will and we, her family, are ready to let her go to a better place,"

The patients and visitors beside them sighed again. Her family was so kind and dear to the old woman, they couldn't imagine how much they lost after she left her family.

Ryan just smiled. "Uncle, I never said nonsense. I'm sure I can save her!"

Valerie's father was silent for a while. In the blink of an eye, his eyes were filled with hope. "Is that true?"

"Hey you, stop your bullshit," one of the doctors was fed up with Ryan. "We have tried our best to take care of this grandmother. It's clear that our diagnosis says that this grandmother cannot survive due to symptoms of old age, her organs have started to malfunction. Things like this can no longer be saved, dying of age is a law of nature!"

The doctor's tone was filled with anger and the nurses beside him couldn't stop sneering at Ryan. They thought Ryan was really arrogant.

"I understand and feel your sincerity in wanting to save her," Valerie's mother stood up, wiping her tears. "But son, we can't fight age. Maybe God already wants to meet my mother so all we can do is accept this fate and let her go,"

Hearing the words of his wife and the doctor, the happiness in the man's face disappeared as he felt gloomy again.
