“Did he actually wake up!”
Mikel stared in astonishment at Dylan, who was gradually awakening on the bed. His eyes were wide with disbelief.
“The patient actually woke up?” Doctors and nurses at the doorway craned their necks to peer inside the ward. They were amazed by Cameron’s medical skills.
“Grandpa!”
Seeing her grandfather waking up, Tara was overwhelmed with joy, and tears streamed down her face. Nothing could excite her more than this moment.
“My dear Tara, why are you crying…” Dylan opened his eyes to see Tara with tears in her eyes. A kind smile spread across his weary face.
“I’m not crying, Grandpa. I’m just so happy.” Tara wiped away her tears as her eyes sparkled excitedly.
“Where am I?” Dylan looked around.
His voice was weak as he took in the sight of the various sophisticated medical equipment surrounding him.
“You’re in the ICU, but you’re alright now–thanks to Cameron!” Tara beamed with joy.
“Cameron?” Dylan was momentarily taken aback.
“This is him, Grandpa.” Tara gestured toward Cameron, who was standing nearby.
“Let me look at the young benefactor,” Dylan said while attempting to sit up.
“Sir, you’re still weak. It’s best to rest in bed for now.” Cameron intervened.
He stepped closer so that Dylan could see him more clearly.
“So, it’s you, young man. Thank you,” Dylan said with a smile as he looked at Cameron.
“That’s very kind of you, sir. Saving lives is a doctor’s duty, and Dr. Smith is also a good friend of mine,” Cameron replied with a gentle smile.
Tara watched Cameron. Her eyes softened at his friendly smile.
“Haha, so you’re a friend of Tara, eh?” Dylan’s laughter turned into a cough.
“Grandpa!” Tara’s recently eased heart tensed up again at the sound.
“Sir, with all due respect, please don’t talk for now. You’re still very weak and need at least a day of rest,” Cameron quickly advised.
“Cameron, is my grandfather really okay?” Tara asked anxiously.
“Don’t
‘t worry. I’ve already used silver needles to draw out all the toxins from your grandfather’s liver, Cameron reassured her.

To ease Tara’s mind further, he explained in detail, “Your grandfather’s current weakness is the multiple rounds of radiation and chemotherapy he underwent, combined with incorrect medication. All of that has severely depleted his vital energy. Many parts of his body need to recover.”
He added, “But with proper nutritional intake, he’ll recover quickly. As for his liver cirrhosis and nodular hyperplasia, I’ll administer acupuncture once a week for the next month.
“I’ll give you a prescription later. Just follow the instructions, get the medicine, and ensure your grandfather takes it on time every day. Within a month, he should be fully healed.”
Cameron continued, “Also, you can administer some penicillin to him. Though it’s modern medicine, it can be greatly beneficial. It can prevent secondary bacterial infections with virtually no side effects,
Cameron suggested.
“Penicillin?” Tara’s eyes lit up at the mention. Her admiration for Cameron was growing. “Cameron, I didn’t expect you, being trained in traditional medicine, to have such a good understanding of modern medicine too!”
All these were elements of modern medicine, from imaging studies to dialysis and penicillin. She thought Cameron might dismiss modern medicine, much like many doctors in their hospital who looked down on and rejected traditional medicine. They considered it a remnant of the past.
They wouldn’t even bother to learn about it, let alone study it.
“Be it traditional or modern medicine, it’s never about prejudice. As long as the medicine cures the patient, it’s good,” Cameron replied gently.
Tara was moved by his words.
“Well said!”
At this moment, some doctors began to applaud Cameron.
“Yes! Well said, young man. Whatever heals the patient is good medicine!”
“Exactly! Our original intention in studying medicine was to save lives and aid the injured. Why should we differentiate between traditional and modern medicine?”
More and more doctors voiced their support for Cameron. They were impressed by his medical skills
and demeanor.
Hearing the continuous praises for Cameron, Mikel felt his expression grow even darker. He was a renowned expert in the field of cancer and a director of a top–tier hospital. Now, he was being outshone by a so–called doctor!
He realized Tara was clearly showing favoritism toward Cameron. However, Mikel dismissed it as mere luck on Cameron’s part. He felt like using silver needles for bloodletting was a joke.

He couldn’t help but let out a sarcastic laugh “Heh, just a blind cat running into a dead mouse. What’s there to be proud of? As far as I’m concerned, Mr. Smith’s illness hasn’t been cured. He just used external forces to stimulate the old man and wake him from his coma.”
The cold laughter silenced the room for a moment. Cameron’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had been tolerating Mikel for a long time. He couldn’t believe Mikel was willing to gamble with a patient’s life for his unsavory motives.
But before Cameron could speak, Tara couldn’t hold back any longer. With disgust, she retorted sharply, “If you’re as capable as you claim, why didn’t you step in earlier?”
Mikel was left speechless.
She added, “And is it really that hard to acknowledge someone else’s excellence?”
