“Can you do it?”
Tara’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Cameron. She clearly hadn’t expected him to have such a skill.
“I’d say there’s a 50% chance,” Cameron replied thoughtfully. He didn’t dare to make a full guarantee.
“50%?” Tara gasped as she took a sharp breath.

She knew that for someone in her grandfather’s condition, with late–stage liver cancer, science offered little hope of a cure. There was only the possibility of delaying the inevitable.
“Yes.” Cameron nodded.
“Do you have a way to do it?” Tara’s eyes were filled with amazement as she looked at Cameron.
If anyone else had made such a claim, she would have dismissed it outright. But coming from Cameron, it seemed somewhat credible to her, given his exceptional physical condition. She figured that perhaps he did have a way.
“I’ll use traditional medicine, but I need to see the patient first to be sure, so I can’t make any promises,” Cameron explained.
“Traditional medicine?” Tara’s gaze flickered. Her belief in Cameron’s words was growing.
As a surgeon trained in modern medicine, she had exhausted all conventional treatments–including chemotherapy and radiation–for her grandfather. However, there was little effect. It had only
caused him more suffering.
That was why she had turned to traditional medicine, which had shown some temporary effects in suppressing the worsening of her grandfather’s condition. Even so, it hadn’t led to a significant improvement.
Recently, his condition had deteriorated again. It left her feeling helpless and ready to grasp at any
straw.
This also proved the viability of traditional medicine, but she hadn’t found a true expert in the art. If she managed to find one, perhaps there would be hope for her grandfather.
“Let’s go, Cameron. I’ll take you to my grandfather right now!” Tara’s eyes lit up,
Cameron’s arm.
and she grabbed
“Uh… Dr. Smith, is your grandfather’s condition critical? If it’s not urgent, I need to head back first,” Cameron said while signaling to the traditional medicine he was carrying.
“It’s urgent. My grandfather has been moved to the ICU!” Tara said with urgency in her eyes.
“I understand.” Cameron took a deep breath.

He sent a quick message to Dakota, asking her to wait a little longer. Then, he accompanied Tara to the General Hospital. They headed straight for the ICU.
At the hospital, a group of doctors and nurses were gathered outside the ICU. Tara’s heart sank. She hurried over to one of the doctors and asked, “Dr. Henderson, what’s happened to my grandfather?”
“Dr. Smith… I’m sorry, but there’s some bad news…” James Henderson seemed hesitant to continue
speaking.
“Tell me…” Tara’s heart skipped a beat.
“Well… This morning, your grandfather’s condition was relatively stable. But just a while ago, it suddenly worsened. We’ve done everything we could, and even Mr. Kennedy took charge, but the outlook is grim… You should be prepared for the worst,” James advised gently.
“My grandfather wouldn’t…” Tara murmured in a daze. Her face turned pale.
“By the way, Dr. Henderson, I’ve brought a traditional medicine practitioner with me. Maybe he can help.” Tara suddenly regained her focus and turned to Cameron.
“Traditional medicine?” Dr. Henderson looked uncomfortable.
It was clear that, like many trained in modern medicine, he was skeptical of traditional medicine. People like him almost equated it with quackery.
“Cameron, let’s go in,” Tara said as she didn’t want to waste any more time.
Saving her grandfather was what mattered most to her now. She was pinning her hopes on Cameron.
“Okay.” Cameron nodded firmly, ready to enter the ICU with Tara.
“Stop right there, kid!” A disdainful voice suddenly called out from the ward.

It was Mikel Kennedy, the head of the department, and director of the hospital.
He looked at Cameron with scorn and said, “Since when could any Tom, Dick, or Harry claim
themselves to be a doctor? And Dr. Smith, you’re a trained physician.
“You should know better. If modern medicine can’t cure an illness, traditional medicine can’t be of any use. Are you sure this guy isn’t fooling you?”
