Chapter 238


    Jenna’s phone burst into a jingle that cut through the silence of the room.


    She set her pen aside and fished the device out of her pocket. The caller ID showed it was Bethany


    Bethany. With a swift tap, she answered, “Alright, I’ll be right down.”


    After hanging up, Jenna turned to Mirabe, “Mira, I need to step out for a sec to pick up my cousin. Be


    right back.”


    Mirabe gave a small nod, her features barely shifting. “Sure.”


    Jenria, clutching her phone, rushed out while Mirabe watched her disappear around the corner


    towards the elevator before turning to close the door behind her.


    Approaching the hospital bed, Mirabe pulled out a set of silver needles she had tucked away in her


    bag earlier that morning. Unrolling the leather cloth, she took the longest one and leaned over, carefully


    inserting it into a critical point atop Jake’s head.


    If any practitioner of alternative medicine had been present, they would have been taken aback by the


    precision of Mirabe’s needle cements. Each point she targeted was delicate, where the slightest


    mishandling could result in immediate death. Yet, she wielded the needles with an ease that bordered


    on the reckless, reminiscent of a quack rather than a skilled healer.


    Just as she finished with the head, the monitors beside the bed flickered with new activity, a clear sigh


    of brain wave fluctuations. Mirabe barely nced at it before continuing her work. She swiftly


    selected two shorter needles, inserting them into the acupoints on Jake’s wrist.. Suddenly, Jake’s


    fingers twitched almost imperceptibly. Mirabe noted the movement silently, her mind counting the


    seconds. Two minutester, she began to remove the needles.


    Meanwhile, Jenna had returned with Bethany and her folks, their footsteps echoing off the hospital


    walls as they approached the sixth floor.


    Leading the way. Jenna reached the door to the hospital room, her hand gently turning the knob. The


    door swung open to reveal Mirabe, still seated calmly. Jenna quickly introduced her to her family in a


    hushed tone. “This is my friend. She came to visit Dad.”


    Bethany’s eyes sparkled upon seeing Mirabe. Her thoughts were easily summed up. “Pretty cool


    lady.”


    Mirabe rose, her smile courteous as she nodded in greeting. Her beauty and manners. disarmed any


    potential unease. Picking up her shoulder bag, Mirabe addressed Jenna, “I should head out.”


    Jenna considered her family and didn’t insist on keeping Mirabe any longer. “Let me walk you out.”


    Mirabe simply nodded, epting the offer. As they stepped out, she pulled a small bottle from her


    pocket and handed it to Jenna, “Give one to your dad when he wakes up, and then one

    more each day after that.”


    Jenna paused, not quite grasping the meaning of her words but instinctively taking the bottle.


    “See you next week.” Mirabe waved goodbye and walked away.


    Jenna watched her leave before finally bringing her attention back to the small porcin bottle in her


    hand. Curious, she unscrewed the lid and sniffed–traditional herbs.

    At that moment, Bethany burst out of the room, a wild joy on her face. “Jenna, Uncle Jake’s awake!


    Jenna spun around, her eyes wide in disbelief. “What did you say?”


    “I said, your dad’s awake!


    Tears welled up in Jenna’s eyes as she hastily secured the cap on the bottle and tucked it away. She


    stumbled into the room to see the miracle for herself.
