Chapter 241
“Well…”
As Tara’s gaze grew increasingly skeptical, Mikel’s expression turned sour. He couldn’t comprehend how Cameron had managed to identify his conditions accurately.
When Mikel failed to respond promptly, Tara lost her patience. She turned colder. “Alright, Mr. Kennedy. Dylan Smith is my grandfather. As a doctor in this hospital, I’ll take responsibility for his condition. Cameron, please go ahead and diagnose my grandfather.”
Tara’s
gaze softened when she looked at Cameron. Indeed, as Cameron had pointed out, her grandfather’s illness was a concern for her but not for someone unrelated like Mikel. Her trust in Cameron deepened after witnessing Cameron’s remarks on Mikel.
“Okay,” Cameron agreed.
He moved toward the bedside. The sight of the elderly man on the bed made him frown. His body was frail and laden with tubes. He felt that such aggressive treatment might be too much for someone of his age.
Cameron wondered about Mikel’s true intentions.
Without expressing his thoughts aloud, Cameron reached out and placed his hand gently on the old man’s wrist to feel his pulse. He channeled his inner energy for a thorough examination.
The more Cameron delved into the diagnosis, the deeper his frown became. This sight did not escape Tara’s notice. It filled her with concern.
Mikel observed Cameron’s earnest demeanor. He scoffed. “Are you done with your diagnosis? Did you find anything?”
He regarded traditional medicine as mere superstition. He doubted Cameron’s medical knowledge and accused him of pretense.
“Mr. Kennedy, should a doctor not maintain silence during a diagnosis?” Cameron retorted as he was unamused.
Mikel bristled at the remark and scoffed. “I was merely showing respect. You think you’re a doctor? I’m curious to see what you’ll find.”
Tara was frustrated by Mikel’s interruptions. She sharply told him, “Mr. Kennedy, please keep quiet and don’t disturb Cameron!‘
Mikel was taken aback by Tara’s rebuke. He fell silent. His eyes bore resentment toward Cameron. He blamed Cameron for tarnishing his image in Tara’s eyes and awaited an opportunity for retribution.
After a moment, Cameron withdrew his hand and exhaled deeply.
“How is my grandfather?” Tara immediately stepped forward, anxious.

“Your grandfather’s condition appears somewhat hopeful, but…” Cameron began. He paused as he caught Tara’s worried look and Mikel’s antagonistic gaze.
“But what?” Tara urged anxiously.
“It’s unlikely he has liver cancer,” Cameron revealed.
Tara gasped in shock. Mikel erupted, shouting, “Outrageous! Sheer nonsense!“
