The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 708

A few moments later, Tara's brow creases into a deep frown. Deanna's condition is violently aggressive, far worse than her initial charts suggested.

Tara had warned her weeks ago to take her health seriously, recognizing the early neurological warning signs. Clearly, Deanna had ignored her advice, allowing the underlying damage to compound. When subjected to the brutal, repeated psychological trauma from Jovani, Deanna's nervous system had simply short-circuited, accelerating the paralysis at a terrifying rate.

Working in complete silence, Tara utilizes an advanced, specialized neuropathic acupuncture technique, pairing it with a newly developed botanical thermal compress she and her mentors engineered. These experimental treatments aren't even available in clinical trials yet. They are designed to forcefully stimulate the body's blocked meridian pathways and shock the nervous system back into circulation.

Beneath the surface of her skin, Deanna suddenly feels a profound, radiating warmth breaking through the terrifying, icy numbness of her paralysis. Though she still cannot move a single muscle or speak a word, the suffocating grip of the illness feels marginally lighter.

Time blurs as Tara meticulously works through the procedure. When she finally steps out of the hospital room, the faint, earthy scent of the thermal compress lingers on her fingertips, but it does nothing to soothe the inexplicable, restless agitation churning in her chest.

This time, the corridor is dead silent. Not a single relative dares to question her. Even Alec keeps his mouth firmly shut, desperately wanting to ask about his mother's prognosis but lacking the courage to face Tara's icy wrath.

"A full recovery is out of the question for the foreseeable future, but she will regain basic autonomy," Tara announces to the room at large, sparing them the effort of asking.
