    Chapter 58 Food Tampering


    Cam swept a nce across everybody in the room, then pretended to be unconcerned. “It’s nothing; I


    was just asking. It wasn’t due to a fluctuation in his emotions and the food he ate seems fine. Perhaps,


    his blood pressure is simply unstable due to his medical history. Old Man Nn is getting on in his years.


    Next time, you should take him out to the yard for a short walk when you’re free. I’m going to perform


    acupuncture on him now. Please leave the room so that the patient can get some fresh air in here.” After


    that, everybody obediently left the room, leaving only Cam and Ss inside the room.


    “What’s wrong?” Ss asked worriedly. Cam chuckled softly. I can’t believe he could tell that I was


    lying. Thus, she deliberately asked, “What?”


    He replied confidently, “There’s something amiss about why my grandpa is unconscious!” She raised her


    brows at him. “Smart!” As she said that, she nced at the tightly-shut door. “Old Man Nn’sa was


    caused by a sudden rise in his blood pressure. If it wasn’t due to a fluctuation in his emotions, and the


    food he ate wasn’t something that could influence his blood pressure, that can only mean that somebody


    tampered with his food!” His expression darkened immediately-it was terrifying. “Are you saying


    somebody is trying to hurt him?” Meanwhile, she had on a serious expression as she opened the bag


    she brought with her and spread it open. Taking out the needles that were carefully arranged in the bag,


    she inserted needles into the nine acupuncture points along his pericardium meridian, which started from


    the chest and ran down along the arm to end at the tip of the middle finger. As she worked, she was


    unhurried, and every needle she inserted was precise.


    Thus, he did not rush her nor disturb her. Besides, he found the way she looked at the moment to be


    very pleasant to the eyes. After a while, she stood up and looked at him. “I suspect somebody added a


    small amount of medication in the old man’s food to increase his blood pressure. As you know, people


    with cerebrovascr diseases are most sensitive to sudden increases in their blood pressure. If it only


    happens once or twice, nothing mighte out of it. But, if it happens over a long period, the walls of the


    arteries will be thin. If that happens, the old man’s life will be endangered!” His expression was dark


    and solemn, and his eyes were dangerously narrowed. However, he said nothing.


    “Have you thought about how you’re going to catch the culprit?” she asked,


    He replied, “There are surveince cameras in the Nn residence.”


    “If you know about it, won’t the people who tampered with the old man’s food know about it too?” she


    asked again.


    Upon hearing that, Ss frowned. That’s true. It’s not going to be easy to catch a culprit that was actively


    avoiding the surveince cameras. “Then, let’s interrogate them one by one!” “That will just tip the


    culprits off.” He gazed up at her. “Do you have a way to catch them?” Cam studied her surroundings.


    Old Man Nn’s room was the easiest ce for somebody to avoid the surveince cameras as well as


    everybody else. Then, she pointed at a small ornament on the bedside table. “If they can do it once, they


    will do it again. As long as you don’t alert them to it, you’ll be able to catch the culprit.”


    He immediately understood what she meant. “Okay.” As they talked, Old Man Nn, who was lying on


    the bed, gradually opened his eyes. He looked at the people around him in confusion while he was still a


    little drowsy; the first face he saw was Cam’s. A look of surprise shed across his face before he


    understood what was going on. “Doctor Brooklyn?” Cam nodded. Then, she started removing the


    needles from his shoulder, smilingly saying to him, “Grandpa, how do you feel?” Old Man Nn smiled


    and nodded. “I’m good; just a little tired and disorganized.”


    Sheughed, coaxing him, “That’s normal. You overslept. It’s already noon. You slept so much you


    nearly scared your family to death.” Feeling happy after being coaxed, he smiled. “They just like making


    a fuss out of nothing!” Still, she sternly warned, “Grandpa, you can’t act so willfully next time.”


    Ss stood by the bed with his hands in his pockets, ncing down at the old man on the bed. Although


    he looked like he normally did, there was a trace of joy and relief in his eyes.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    In response, Old Man Nn smilingly replied, “I got it! I’ll sleep less next time!” Upon hearing that, Ss


    smiled silently. As if you can sleep less just because you want


    to.


    The atmosphere of the entire room became warmer simply because the old man had woken up. Until…


    Cam answered a phone call that destroyed the warm atmosphere within the room. “What?! How is my


    child doing?” Cam was so frightened that she stood up abruptly


    and herplexion drained of color immediately.
