Chapter 282 The Concealed Truth


    “I know a method-stimting acupuncture points ofatose patients can help them wake up faster.”


    During her training at Dark Moon, Cecelia had learned some. unconventional medical techniques,


    including venomous practices. While not aplete expert, she believed that unconventional problems


    could require unconventional solutions.


    After all, could she just watch her daughter remain in aa and be a vegetable?


    Aurora had full faith in Cecelia. “Why not give it a try?”


    “I need to consult Shepard first. Wait here for me!”


    “Alright.”


    Cecelia went to find Shepard and discussed Cynthia’s current condition. “Shepard, I just visited Cynth


    It’s been three days, and she still hasn’t shown any signs of waking up.”


    “I know.”


    After a moment of consideration, Shepard told her the truth, “Cecelia, in fact, I haven’t told anyone,


    including all of you, that there’s a high possibility that Cynthia might not wake up. When I said we’d


    have to wait at least a week, it was more of a constion. I was afraid that if I told the truth, the


    Nelsons wouldn’t be able to ept it.”


    “She might not wake up?”


    Cecelia was astonished. Shepard had actually concealed something.

    “Her head injury is severe. She lost a lot of blood, suffered shock in between, and lost vital signs. We


    managed to pull her back from the brink of death through ourbined efforts. However, in most cases


    like hers, the patient might eventually be a permanent. vegetable.


    As Shepard spoke, his eyes turned red. After finishing, he covered. his eyes with his hand, ovee


    with grief.


    “That’s how it is!”


    Cecelia finally understood what had happened during the surgery. It wasn’t as smooth as they had


    thought; it was Shepard and the emergency medical team’s heroic efforts that saved Cynthia.


    As the thought of Cynthia potentially bing a permanent vegetable crossed Cecelia’s mind, her


    mood grew heavy. She was about to speak when she heard the sorrowful voice of Shepard.


    “Cecelia, looking back, I realize I’ve been so cruel.”


    “What happened, Shepard?”


    “I knew Cynthia liked me and pursued me relentlessly, but I heartlessly rejected her. Every time she


    came up with an excuse to see me, I treated her coldly, repeatedly pushing her away, and hurting her


    kind intentions each time.


    “I thought I was doing the right thing, and I was convinced that we were not meant to be together. But


    why does my heart ache when I see her hurt?


    “The moment I saw her heart rate tline on the monitor, my heart felt like it was being torn apart. How


    did this happen? I thought I liked you, but why…”


    Shepard couldn’t continue, overwhelmed by sorrow. Cecelia patted his shoulder gently. “Shepard, deep


    down, you’ve actually liked Cynth for a long time. Maybe you just didn’t realize it yourself.


    “And, when you possess something, you often don’t appreciate it as much; it besmonce.


    It’s only when you lose it that you feel regret.


    “Experiencing this might be a good thing. It allows you to understand your feelings better, to know who


    is the most important person to you. You should cherish that and when Cynth wakes up, you’ll have a


    chance to make amends.”


    Cecelia’s words were insightful, unraveling the fog that had clouded Shepard’s heart.


    It enabled him to see his heart clearly!


    He thought he still liked Cecelia, but after encountering Cynthia, het had unconsciously been influenced


    by the girl. Cynthia had gradually touched his heart without him even realizing it.


    He had truly fallen for Cynthia!


    But he had realized it toote!


    “I also wish for a chance, but I don’t know when she’ll wake up.”


    This was the most tragic part of being a doctor-never knowing when the patient would wake up.


    A sense of helplessness deeply invaded Shepard’s heart, intensifying his regret and sadness.


    “Shepard, I brought you here to talk about this. I want to try my unconventional methods to see if we


    can awaken Cynth.”


    Cecelia shared her idea. After listening, Shepard nodded earnestly. “Why not give it a try? Once


    Cynthia is done with hyperbaric oxygen. therapy, I’ll arrange for you to enter the ICU.”


    There’s a saying about trying anything when in a desperate situation. Although a bit harsh, if it works,


    wouldn’t everyone ber delighted?


    Next, Cynthia was put into the hyperbaric oxygen chamber for therapy, which could alleviate brain


    edema and rapidly reduce intracranial pressure.


    After Cynthia was returned to the ICU, Cecelia changed into sterile attire, took her tools, and entered


    the ICU room with Shepard.


    Aurora waited outside, continuously praying for Cecelia to find a solution.


    After examining Cynthia, Cecelia opened her toolkit and took out acupuncture needles. She started


    stimting acupuncture points for Cynthia, a method not much different from traditional acupuncture.


    The difference was that the points chosen were ces where traditional acupuncture wouldn’t dare to


    needle easily.


    With Shepard’s assistance, Ceceliapleted the acupuncture stimtion for Cynthia.


    She had to twist the needles multiple times, and during the final twist, Shepard noticed Cynthia’s


    fingers move, and her eyes. suddenly opened.


    This thrilled him beyond words, and he eximed excitedly, “Cecelia! Look! Her fingers moved, and


    she opened her eyes!” Cecelia looked at Cynthia, but Cynthia quickly closed her eyes again.


    Removing the nine needles, Cecelia was resolute. “I believe Cynth will definitely wake up!”


    “Right!”


    Shepard regained his confidence. As long as Cynthia woke up, he would make sure to grasp the


    opportunity and never let her down again.


    The two left the ICU. When Aurora saw them, she hurriedly asked, “Cecelia Dr Nuno how is Cynthia?”


    “Aurora, Cecelia’s method is effective. I saw Cynthia move her fingers and even open her eyes briefly


    just now. This suggests that she might wake up very soon.”


    “Really? That’s wonderful! Truly wonderful! Cecelia…”


    Tears of gratitude welled up in Aurora’s eyes as she held Cecelia’s hand, struggling to find the right


    words to say.


    “Aunt Snow, you can wait with peace of mind.”


    “Yes, okay.”


    Not long after, Shepard had to leave to attend a consultation, bidding them goodbye.


    Samson arrived from outside the hospital and inquired about Cynthia’s condition, “Aunt Snow, Cecelia,


    how is Cynthia? Has she woken up?”


    The title “Aunt” made Aurora feel a bit sentimental. “Not yet, but she should wake up soon.”


    Thinking of something, Samson cautiously asked, “Aunt Snow, do you have a moment? My father


    would like to see you and discuss something with you.”


    Aurora looked at Cecelia, who nodded. “Let’s go, Aunt Snow, I’ll apany you.”


    They arrived at the room where Bill was staying. Cecelia and Samson waited outside as Aurora


    entered.


    Bill, who had already recovered significantly, tried to sit up instinctively when he saw Aurora enter.


    Aurora waved her hand, motioning for him to lie back down. “Don’t get up, Samson said you wanted to


    see me, so here I am. What do you want to talk to me about?”
