Awakening the War God

Chapter 144 Monologue

Chapter 144 Monologue

Dr. Louis knew about the Ice Ganoderma because of a rumored medical miracle.

It was said that the leader of a certain Western country was assassinated by his political opponent during the election period.

He was shot multiple times and suffered severe organ damage.

It was almost certain that he would die.

However, a divine doctor saved him using a medicinal herb called Ice Ganoderma.

After that, the injured leader, who was already in his seventies, lived for another six years.

Even now, he occasionally appeared.

He seemed to be in very good spirits, completely unlike someone who had suffered such serious injuries!

The authenticity of this incident couldn't be confirmed.

Because he knew who the leader was, but there was no news about his assassination at that time.

It was only a rumor in the medical community.

The divine doctor mentioned in the rumor didn't even have a name.

However, the Ice Ganoderma became well-known!

He used to dismiss these rumors as fake when his friends mentioned them in the past.

But now, he was starting to doubt it a little!

Because Gabriel didn't seem like someone who would make up stories.

Blind John's expression became serious and he said meaningfully, "Although there is hope, it seems that the Ice Ganoderma is not easy to find, right?"

If it was a common medicine, Gabriel wouldn't have spoken about it so mysteriously.

Sure enough, Gabriel nodded and said, "It's not that it's hard to find, but extremely difficult. The Ice Ganoderma has a very specific habitat and can only grow on snow-capped mountains at an altitude of several thousand meters! It's extremely rare, with at most one or two plants appearing every hundred years. It's also a priceless treasure, so even if it exists, it's not necessarily obtainable!"

"Hmph!" Blind John said angrily, "You've been talking for so long, but it's an unreliable thing. If there's no medicine, what's the point of talking?"

Gabriel couldn't refute Blind John's criticism and just frowned, saying, "My memory hasn't really recovered yet. These things are all in my subconscious mind!"

"But the reason why I dared to mention the Ice Ganoderma is that my subconscious mind vaguely told me that it appeared several years ago!"

"After that, it disappeared and should have been hidden by someone. So, it definitely exists!"

The second door of memory blockage opened, but apart from the instinctive recovery of medical skills, there were very few memories.

That was why the information about the Ice Ganoderma was only instinctive knowledge.

Blind John's head started to ache, and he sighed. "Since it's hidden, you don't know where it is. Isn't it like finding a needle in a haystack?"

Gabriel said, "To hide medicine and not use it, there's only one explanation. This person wants to wait for the right time to sell it at a high price!"

"By grasping this point, as long as the price is attractive enough, it's possible to find the Ice Ganoderma!"

Dr. Louis, who was beside them, said worriedly, "But Zoe doesn't have much time. We only have a week to find the Ice Ganoderma. I'm afraid Zoe won't make it!"

If they couldn't find the Ice Ganoderma within a short period of time, all these discussions would be meaningless.

Gabriel turned around and glared at Dr. Louis, saying, "That's because you are a mediocre doctor. Wait a moment. I will give Zoe another acupuncture treatment. With this treatment, Zoe will not be in any life-threatening situation for the next month!"

"There's still a chance to find the Ice Ganoderma within a month!"

Because of the fake surgery and the heart loss incident, he had no good impression of Dr. Louis.

With him here now, Zoe wouldn't be in a critical condition.

With the silver needle in his hand, he would stimulate the meridians with acupuncture.

This would turn decay into a miracle.

For Zoe's current condition, he planned to use the sealing acupuncture technique of the Sun Mystical Needle to treat her.

After the treatment, Zoe's bodily functions would slow down, maintaining her life in a state of light metabolism.

This would reduce the impact on her heart caused by her illness.

Surviving for a month would be no problem at all.

Of course, there would be some side effects after the treatment.

She would feel weak, sleepy, and have a loss of appetite!

However, it wouldn't affect her ability to think!

Dr. Louis, who was being criticized, looked embarrassed and stopped speaking.

"Well, let's stop chatting for now and give Zoe the acupuncture!" Blind John urged.

Gabriel nodded. "Alright, all of you should leave. We will need Zoe to take off her shirt later, so it's not appropriate for you to stay here!"

Dr. Louis and Blind John left the ward one after the other.

Only Christopher held Gabriel's hand at a loss.

He was an old farmer who didn't understand anything and couldn't speak properly.

His eyes were filled with earnestness and helplessness as he pleaded with Gabriel, "Gabriel, I beg you. Please make sure to cure Zoe. Zoe is still young and shouldn't... "

His eyes welled up with tears as he spoke.

Zoe was his life. He had lived his whole life for Zoe.

"Don't worry, Christopher. I promise you that I will definitely cure Zoe!"

Gabriel was deeply moved and spoke with determination.

A father's love was as solid as a mountain, and nothing could compare to it! Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After that, comforted by Gabriel, Christopher also left the ward.

In the room, only Gabriel and Zoe remained.

Sitting by the bedside, Gabriel held Zoe's hand and spoke softly, "Zoe, sleep peacefully. In your dreams, there will be no worries or pain!"

"You and I are very similar, both like lonely wanderers thrown into life halfway. That kind of loneliness makes it hard for us to find someone to listen to our hearts!"

"But luckily, you met me!"

"And I also met you!"

At this moment, looking at Zoe who was sleeping, Gabriel revealed his true feelings.

Only at this moment, he could have a long monologue about his heart.

"My memories were locked behind eight doors, but now, two of them have been opened, and I've finally found something that belongs to me!"

"I know that when the last door is opened, my life will change completely!"

"At that time, I couldn't even be sure who I would be!"

"I have a longing for that identity, but also fear!"

The last door of memories was filled with blood.

He was certain that once it was opened, he would have to endure endless pain.

He had hesitated many times before, wondering if he should retrieve the lost memories.

"Many times, I have thought that it would be nice to live carefree like this for a lifetime! Forget about what happened three years ago, and just be Gabriel without any other identity!"

"But fate is something that can't be escaped. Even if I don't seek out my memories, the people and events in those memories will come find me!"

"And there are six more doors. Gabriel will die, and who knows who will live?"

At this point, Gabriel gave a bitter smile!

The most tragic thing in a person's life was that the power to choose fate was not in their hands.

"You are just like me, and your background is connected to more complicated destinies. You are an extremely intelligent girl, and today it seems like you have found many things!"

"I know that you asked me to come back from the airport because you were concerned and worried that something bad might happen to me!"

"And there is another reason, which is that you are more determined than me, and you don't want to have any connection with the past!"

"Christopher is an old farmer, but he is your father who loves you the most in this world!"

"You want to protect your father, so you don't want too much involvement with the past!"

The matter of the stolen heart was a very strange thing.

Once upon a time, Zoe said to him, "There are not so many coincidences. Many so-called coincidences are just taken for granted by others."

Indeed, it was so coincidental that there was a person with an extraordinary background who wanted to snatch Zoe's matched heart.

It wasn't until Zoe's phone call that he finally understood.

"I promise you that I won't force you to do anything you don't want to!"

"But when you are ready to face everything behind your identity, I will definitely accompany you and protect you!"

"Alright, have a peaceful sleep!"

"For the rest of your life, I will always be with you, forever!"

After saying these words, Gabriel felt that all the pressure in his heart was completely released.

He stood up and took a deep breath.

Then, he lifted the blanket.

Gently, he untied the hospital gown that Zoe was wearing.

Her fair body was pure and immaculate.

There was a freshly stitched wound on the left side of her chest.

Then, Gabriel picked up a long needle and began to administer the acupuncture...
