Chapter 378


    Cam’s Suspicion Cam was prepared to inject another needle into Brian’s arm. She looked at Ss


    for his help to fold Brian’s sleeve up by a notch. Ss paused for a while and walked toward Brian to fold


    his sleeve, revealing a long, albeit shallow, cut. This startled Cam “How did you get this?” Before Ss


    could exin, Brian answered, “Some burr broke into my housest night, guess that’s how I got it.”


    Cam contemted but refrained from asking further. Now she knew why Ss refused to let him carry


    anything when they ascended the floor-he knew he was injured. With all that had happened, Carn’s


    suspicions grew bigger as to the fact that there was something behind why Ss abandoned his mother


    and brother back then.

    She applied thest needle onto Brian and stood up. “Alright, we will remove the needles twenty minutes


    later. Until then, do not move” She then rested on the couch opposite the room. Ss sat beside her and


    asked, “Are you tired? Would you like a massage?” Cam threw him a stare. “I’d be fine if you’d annoy


    me less.” Ss chuckled. “When have I annoyed you?” Cam scoffed lightly, “Just a while ago Just


    because you didn’t say it out loud, it doesn’t mean I don’t know you were making fun of me!” Upon


    hearing that, Ss failed to hold back any longer. Besides, recalling the dumplings Cam made earlier in


    the evening only tickled him further. He tried hard to wipe the grin off his face, but Cam caught it right


    away, and she angrily pointed at him “Look at you; you’reughing again!” Ss gave up and let out a


    loud giggle, but before Cam could get angry, he pulled her into his arms andforted her, “No, no,


    no. I was justughing at how adorable you are.” Cam pouted her lips. “Yeah, right. You were just


    laughing at me.” “I wasn’t” Ss swore. “Everyone’s got something they’re good and bad at. Look at how


    good you are at designing clothes, and acupuncture; I’m not good at those. So what if you can’t cook


    well? It’s the boyfriend’s job to cook, and the girlfriend’s job to eat. As for making dumplings, we can do it


    together if you know how to, or I could do it all myself. You don’t have to worry.” Such soothing words,


    which sounded not much different from a confession, consoled Cam.


    On the other hand, Brian’s face lit up. He thought he would feel jealous looking at


    them, but he did not. He was rather d to see the smiles on their faces. This was the oue he had


    hoped for. Twenty minutes passed, and Cam removed the needles. Ss asked, “If we see the effects


    tomorrow, does that mean you are able to treat him?” Cam said, “Theoretically, yes. That just proves


    my diagnosis.” Ss asked again, “How long will this treatment take, then?” Cam answered, “Brian’s


    situation is quite serious, even if I treat him, it’d take at least half a month of continuous acupuncture


    treatment, with supplementary medication.” Ss ieplied, “Okay.” He then turned to Brian. “Do you feel


    anything?” Brian replied, “Not much.” In truth, he did feel something different. He had been feeling


    clouded and groggy for quite some time, but after the treatment, his mind felt unexpectedly clear and


    focused again. He dared not reveal it, for fear that it was only This own imagination. Ssforted him,


    “li’s just the start After all, you’ve had this condition for so many years; it’s not something we can fix in a


    short while.”


    Both men hung out at the Brooklyn Residence until 11.00PM before Brian decided to leave. As Ss


    escorted Brian to the entrance, he asked, “Do you need me to arrange for someone to send you back?”


    Brian scoffed, “Don’t think I’d forgive you just because you saved me a few times.” Ss was speechless.


    “Fine. As you wish!” Brian ignored him and walked out. Two stepster, he stopped and replied, “If you


    don’t treat her right, I’ll take her away from you.”
