314 The Psionic Scan
Feeling her gentle touch, Raymond beamed with boundless joy.
His eyes softened with profound tenderness as he looked at her.
“See that? Daughters and granddaughters are always the sweetest!” he exclaimed fondly.
Felix and Julian rubbed their noses in amused defeat.
Hadn’t they offered to massage his shoulders countless times, only for the old man to bark that he wasn’t frail enough to be babied?
Yet when Bella did it, suddenly it was proof of supreme sweetness!
Dad, your double standards are shameless!
The two brothers didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

In an instant, a detailed holographic projection of Raymond’s vascular and neural pathways formed in her mind.
Guided by her will, the psionic filament circulated deep through his cardiac tissue before withdrawing cleanly.
Isabella’s eyes flashed with icy vigilance.
Masking the chill behind a gentle gaze, she asked softly, “Grandfather, do you feel any lingering discomfort in your chest?
“Is there any tightness or fatigue?”
Raymond laughed heartily, “Not at all, Bella! Ever since you came to visit, Grandfather feels stronger by the day–just ask your uncles!”
He shot a warning glare at Julian and Felix, daring them to contradict him.
Julian rubbed his nose under his father’s stare, playing along, “Yes, Dad’s vitals are far better than before.”
“Indeed,” Felix added with a smile, “Every day in recovery shows marked improvement–even the attending doctors are amazed by his pace.”
“Is that so?” Isabella murmured in a hushed tone.
Though her expression grew serious, she kept her voice bright, “That’s wonderful to hear. I was worried about you, so I wanted to check in personally.

The Carters have truly gone above and beyond to provide for Bella.
