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 | 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 Dylan'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 Dylan. It was an acceptable 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 Dylan's illness.
Setting aside Cameron’s apparent lack of professional knowledge and the notion that a mere acupuncture
session could cure illness, Mikel wondered when traditional medicine had becso
miraculous.
“Can you shut up and keep quiet?” Cameron issued a warning in a low voice as he tried to focus on
Dylan.
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 Dylan's liver area.
Soon, dark, toxic blood began to seep out along the needles. Cameron collected it in
cup.
The onlookers were amazed by Cameron's swift needling technique. This was their first twitnessing 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.

Tpassed quickly. After about five minutes, the last 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 accomplished,” 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 but laugh 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

taunted.
“And Dr. Smith, you should now understand my good intentions,” Mikel continued. His voice was laced with a hint
of self-righteousness.
“| forbade him from treating your grandfather because | had already seen through his charade. He's nothing but
an uneducated charlatan, 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 cfrom the bed before Mikel could finish his sentence. The cough wasn’t
particularly loud, but it was like a thunderclap in the quiet of the ward. The cough captured everyone's attention
and drew their gazes to Dylan.
Mikel quickly looked down. His expression changed from smug satisfaction to shock.
Then, to his astonishment and that of everyone present, the unconscious Dylan began slowly
awakening...
