Chapter 246
“Mr. Kennedy, are you trying to absolve yourself of all responsibility?” Cameron knew Mikel''s
intentions. He looked at him coldly and said, “But what if I do manage to cure the old man? What
will you do then?”
“Do you think you can cure him? Dream on!" Mikel scoffed disdainfully.
A flicker of disgust crossed Tara''s brows. She wondered how she had never noticed Mikel''s
repulsiveness before. Her opinion of him plummeted. She turned to Cameron gently and said,
Cameron, ignore him. Just focus on treating my grandfather. I''ll take responsibility for whatever
happens.”
"Don’t worry, I''ll cure your grandfather,” Cameron reassured her warmly. Then, under Mikel''s
resentful gaze, he rolled up Dn''s sleeves and gently tapped a few spots on his liver area to
confirm his approach.
He then took out eight silver needles. Typically, filiform needles were the best for healing, followed
by fire needles. Silver needles were a less favorable choice because they were usually used for more
lethal.
purposes.
However, this time, he was using them to draw out toxic blood from Dn. It was an eptable
application. This procedure required precision as a slight mishap could injure the patient.
“Are you using silver needles for acupuncture? Do you even have any professional knowledge?”
Mikel sneered from the side. He was certain that Cameron couldn''t cure Dn''s illness.
Setting aside Cameron''s apparentck of professional knowledge and the notion that a mere
acupuncture session could cure illness, Mikel wondered when traditional medicine had be so
miraculous.
“Can you shut up and keep quiet?” Cameron issued a warning in a low voice as he tried to focus on
Dn.
Mikel huffed, but he didn''t say anything more. He was eager to see how Cameron would end up.
Cameron ignored Mikel and proceeded with precision. He took a measuring cup from the nearby
instrument table. He channeled his internal energy and inserted the eight silver needles into
specific
acupoints on Dn''s liver area.
Soon, dark, toxic blood began to seep out along the needles. Cameron collected it in

The onlookers were amazed by Cameron''s swift needling technique. This was their first time
witnessing such a method for detoxifying a patient''s liver. They all wondered if it could really work.
Tara watched anxiously with her hands clenched tightly. No one was more concerned for her
grandfather''s safety than she was.
Mikel sneered inwardly. He mocked the idea that a bit of bloodletting could treat liver toxicity.

Time passed quickly. After about five minutes, thest drop of dark blood fell into the cup. Cameron
exhaled a long breath and withdrew the needles.
"Did it go smoothly, Cameron?” Tara asked immediately.
“Mission aplished,” Cameron replied with a slight smile.
Tara sighed in relief. “When will my grandfather wake up?” she asked eagerly.
Just as Cameron was about to answer, Mikel couldn''t help butugh scornfully. “Are you going to
say Mr. Smith''s poisoning is too severe and needs several more sessions to wake up? You have no
clue, do you? Do you think a bit of bloodletting counts as treatment? You''re taking us for amateurs,”
Mikel
taunted.
"And Dr. Smith, you should now understand my good intentions,” Mikel continued. His voice was
laced with a hint of self-righteousness.
"I forbade him from treating your grandfather because I had already seen through his charade. He''s
nothing but an uneducated chatan, trying to take advantage of the situation to win your
affection!
“So, you see, my feelings for you are...” Mikel''s words trailed off as he tried to express his deeper
motives.
However, a coughing sound came from the bed before Mikel could finish his sentence. The cough
wasn''t particrly loud, but it was like a thunderp in the quiet of the ward. The cough captured
everyone''s attention and drew their gazes to Dn.
Mikel quickly looked down. His expression changed from smug satisfaction to shock.
Then, to his astonishment and that of everyone present, the unconscious Dn began slowly
awakening...
