Chapter 257


    “Grandpa!”


    In the ward, Tara stomped her foot in frustration as she blushed even more.


    She felt it wasn''t fair for a grandparent to side with an outsider over their granddaughter.


    “Haha, I''m just in a good mood, so I cracked a joke.” Dnughed when he saw his


    granddaughter’s anxious expression. He then turned to Cameron. “Young man, I was just joking


    earlier. Please don''t take it to heart.”


    Cameron realized it was a joke and felt relieved. He let out a warm smile. “Mr. Smith, I understand.


    Please lie down and I''ll start the treatment.”


    "Alright then.” Dn agreed. Watching Tara''s still-blushing cheeks, hemented


    He had made thatment to gauge Tara''s reaction to Cameron. Tara''s aversion to men wasn''t


    from birth but developed as she grew up, partly due to an experience during her university days.


    As her grandfather, Dn wished for her to return to her former cheerful and lively self. He did not


    want her to remain a woman who, despite appearing warm, kept men at a distance.


    Tara seemed to understand her grandfather''s intention and wasn''t truly upset. Opening up to men


    again was just difficult for her...


    “I''m going to start now,” Cameron announced. He was unaware of these undercurrents. He took out


    eight prepared acupuncture needles from his bag.


    “Go ahead,” Dn nodded.


    Cameron prepared himself and channeled his energy. He then skillfully inserted the needles into


    specific acupoints on Dn''s body.


    As the needles pierced the skin, Dn felt a burning sensation, as if a me was igniting within him.


    The initial pain soon subsided, turning into a warm flow, much to his surprise andfort.


    Cameron focused, pouring more energy into the treatment. Sweat began to bead on his forehead.


    The process seemed simple but required significant focus.


    Tara watched as she was moved by Cameron''s dedication. She could see he cared deeply for her


    grandfather''s condition.


    After ten minutes, Cameron withdrew the needles and exhaled deeply. “All done, Mr. Smith.”


    “Here''s a towel, Cameron.” Tara quickly handed him one.


    “Thank you,” Cameron said gently while wiping the sweat from his brow.


    “Mr. Smith, you can get up and move around now. Let''s see how you feel,” Cameron suggested,


    setting the towel aside.

    “Sure!” Dnughed as he felt revitalized. He stood up from the bed without assistance for the first


    time since falling ill.


    "Grandpa, how do you feel?” Tara asked, concerned.


    “I haven''t felt this refreshed in a long time!” Dn beamed.


    His condition had significantly improved from before


    "What technique did you use, Cameron? It''s miraculous,” Dn asked in amazement.


    “It''s just a regr technique, but the acupoints stimted were special. I learned it from a master,


    Cameron exined.


    “Indeed, a great teacher produces a great student!” Dn praised. Humble yet skilled, such a young


    man had limitless potential.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “Mr. Smith, please rest for now. I''lle back in a week for another session. After the next visit, you


    should be ready for discharge. A couple more treatments should fully cure you,” Cameron said as he


    was pleased with Dn''s progress.


    "Great! Tara, see Cameron out for me!” Dn was thrilled.


    "Okay, Grandpa,” Tara said as her gaze toward Cameron softened.


    “Let''s go, Cameron,


    Cameron,” Tara said with a smile..


    “No need, Dr. Smith. I can make my way back. Spend more time with your grandpa,” Cameron


    insisted


    “But you''vee all this way. It wouldn''t be right to let you go back alone. Besides, I was about to


    head to the supermarket to get some groceries for dinner,” Tara exined.


    "Okay then. We''ll go together.” Cameronughed lightly.


    “Alright,” Tara said as her demeanor became more reserved than her usual exuberance.


    “Dr. Smith, let''s go. Mr. Smith, see youter,” Cameron said casually.


    He waved goodbye to Dn before leaving the ward with Tara.


    As they approached the corridor''s end, a plea from a nearby ward made them pause.


    “Doctor, please! I beg you, save my mother! I''m begging you!"


    The voice was filled with desperate sorrow.


    Cameron frowned. He recognized the familiar voice. He wondered if it could really be Madison.
