I'm grinding for Marvel attributes

Chapter 6: Drink plenty of coconut water; raw coconut water can replace blood plasma in emergencies.

"Beep, beep."

Hurried footsteps sounded, and soon the door to the room was opened, revealing a middle-aged woman of about forty years old.

Judging from her skin condition, she usually takes good care of herself, but at this moment her eyes are red and swollen, and she looks haggard, as if she hadn't slept all night.

Mrs. Smith (middle-aged) was extremely excited when she saw Gwen and hurriedly invited her into the house.

“Eileen locked herself in her room as soon as she got back last night and wouldn’t come out no matter how much we called her. It’s been more than ten hours now, and she hasn’t eaten or drunk anything.”

As she spoke, Mrs. Smith began to sob softly.

"Miss Ghost Spider, do you have a way to help Eileen? Please."

Gwen looked at Russell, and Mrs. Smith also turned to look at Russell expectantly.

Russell: "..."

Didn't I say I couldn't do anything? Why are you looking at me?

“I have a way, madam,” Russell affirmed.

"May I see Miss Smith?" Russell's gentle voice came from beneath the grotesque mask.

“Okay, come with me.” Mrs. Smith walked to her daughter’s bedroom and knocked on the door. “Eileen, Eileen, the doctor is here, open the door.”

A suppressed, painful roar came from the room.

"Don't come in."

“Eileen…” Hearing her daughter’s response, Mrs. Smith’s eyes were red and swollen, and she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

"Mrs. Smith, don't worry, there will be a way."

Russell first reassured Mrs. Smith, and then gave instructions to Gwen.

"Go to the trunk and get the coconuts I just bought."

Coconut water contains a large amount of potassium and small particulate matter, and its composition is similar to that of blood plasma.

It can be used as a substitute for blood plasma in certain emergency situations.

Russell pointed to Eileen's bedroom door: "Mrs. Smith, you don't mind if I break this door, do you?"

"Ah."

Russell turned off all the lights in the room and then observed the sunlight to make sure that no sunlight would shine in if Eileen's door was opened.

Put on a cartoon mask.

They miscalculated; the V for Vendetta masks could easily scare children.

“Miss Smith, I’m coming in.” He exerted force with his arm.

boom.

The fist pierced through the wooden door and unlocked it from the inside.

"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer..."

There was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, huddled in the corner of the room with her arms wrapped around her knees.

His face was pale, his lips were dry, and his clothes were disheveled.

Scratch marks are faintly visible on the exposed arms.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Smith staggered forward and hugged her daughter.

She comforted him while sobbing.

"It's alright, Eileen, it's alright."

Russell, standing behind, could see it clearly.

Eileen opened her mouth several times to reveal her fangs, but then held back.

But his body trembled even more.

"Have a glass of coconut juice, it'll make you feel better."

Squatting down in front of Eileen, Russell handed her a full cup of coconut juice.

The girl paused for a moment when she saw Russell, then obediently took the cup.

Soon, the glass was empty, and Russell handed him another one.

Hand over another cup...

Eileen's complexion visibly regained its color, and the scratches on her arms faded rapidly.

The instinctive craving for blood lessened, and his body stopped trembling.

Exhaustion washed over her, and Eileen gradually fell asleep in Mrs. Smith's arms.

Only then did Russell have time to look around the room, which was in complete disarray.

The small dolls were torn apart, the beautiful clothes were ripped, and the exquisite notebooks were shredded.

Just like a young girl's life.

One of the notebook pages happened to fall at Russell's feet.

The words "persevere," "Aileen," and "don't give up" were written densely on it.

Russell seemed to see in his mind the way Eileen struggled against her vampiric urges last night.

What a strong little girl.

“Mrs. Smith,” Russell called softly, then instructed, “After Eileen wakes up, make sure she drinks plenty of coconut water; it will help relieve her symptoms.”

"Remember, it has to be all-natural."

"Let's leave first and go find a friend to ask for a cure."

"Okay, thank you, thank you so much."

Mrs. Smith thanked her repeatedly, then said with concern:

"But how can I contact you if there are any special circumstances?"

Russell gave Mrs. Smith a number and asked her to write it down.

......

The two left Mrs. Smith's house and returned to their car.

Gwen, who had remained silent, blamed herself:

"When I brought her home last night, she was just a little nervous. I didn't expect..."

“This is not your fault, Gwen.”

Russell interrupted Gwen.

“You’ve done a great job. Nobody wants this to happen.”

Except for that vampire who's already dead.

"Ah."

Gwen responded in a low voice, remaining silent.

Clearly, she is still blaming herself.

Russell patted Gwen's arm to comfort her and then focused on driving.

A moment later, Gwen came to her senses and realized that the car wasn't heading in the direction of the bookstore. Curious, she asked:

"Russell, are you going to see your friend now?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you call first to confirm where your friend is? What if she's not there when you drive there?"

“No need,” Russell said, feigning profundity. “If she wants to see us, she will.”

As he spoke, he took out his phone, preparing to send a message to ask.

"Focus on driving." Gwen snatched the phone. "Who do you want to call? I'll press the buttons for you."

"Psychologist Yao, send her a text message to ask if she's in the consultation room."

Gwen glanced at Russell with surprise, as if to say, "You want to see a psychiatrist?"

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Gwen trusted her own judgment.

Bertrand Russell was a fun-loving person, and very mentally healthy.

Unable to free his hands, Russell could only roll his eyes:

Many people have psychological problems, more or less.

Gwen, I suggest you see a therapist when you have time.

"Hehe." Gwen chuckled but didn't reply.

Does Gwen have any mental health issues?

Have!

Ever since her friend Peter, who took her as a role model, developed lizard serum, but died unexpectedly in her arms due to uncontrollable side effects after taking it.

Gwen was plunged into deep self-blame and sadness.

Eileen's situation triggered her self-blame once again.

Gu Yi quickly replied: "Come over now."

[Yao Family]

Knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Push the door open and enter.

The room was dimly lit, and an action movie, "Hellblazer," was playing on the television. Several bags of snacks and iced drinks were laid out on the table.

"Sit wherever you like, and help yourself to whatever you'd like to eat."

A languid voice came from a figure slumped into a sofa.

Sitting on the sofa beside him, Russell fell silent.

I never expected you to be like this, Ancient One.

but.

It's three o'clock, let's have some tea first.

Russell didn't stand on ceremony, poured himself and Gwen a drink, and opened a bag of snacks, which they shared.

Then, he leaned back into the sofa and watched a movie with Gu Yi.

Gwen was puzzled, but she followed Russell's example and started watching the movie.

For a moment, all three of them fell silent.

Only the light and shadow, sound and color of the film remain.

The atmosphere inside became warm and peaceful.

Until the movie ended.

……

"I already know about it."

"Yes, but there's a condition."
