Chapter 12 Who on Earth Is This Woman
Silas called out abruptly. Although he had not moved a single step from where he stood, his aura
pressed down against Camila. âMiss Brooklyn, allow me to apologize on my familyâs behalf. My
grandpa has been unconscious for a week now. If you can cure him, please do.â His attitude was
rather polite. Thus, Camila stopped in her tracks and looked at him. âDidn't you say there are issues
with my moral character, Mr. Nolan? Why? Aren't you afraid that my moral character is so poor that
I might harm the old man during the treatment process? He looked at her with those long and
narrow eyes of his. âI believe in the benevolence of a doctor. I'm sure you won't toy with a person's
life, Miss Brooklyn.â On the other hand, she rolled her eyes at him, secretly snorting in her heart,
Why isn't he being arrogant anymore? âI can help, but we'll need to discuss the dirty details
upfront.â South's eyes sparkled, carrying an inexplicable sense of excitement. Mommy is out to get
her revenge. At the same time, Silas's brows furrowed together unnaturally. She looked him straight
in the eye and said, âMr. Nolan, I've agreed to treat him, but I don't dare to guarantee that I can
completely cure him immediately. However, I do have confidence in being able to cure him. At first,
I wasn't going to take any consultation fees for my services due to my relationship with Landon.
Unfortunately, I have a bad habit-I'm petty and I hold grudges. President Nolan, my consultation fee
is very high!â
He understood what she was saying. This woman isn't just referring to her grudge against Penny;
sheâs also referring to her grudge against me. Fortunately, I have never cared much for money
anyway. âSure. You can name any price for your consultation fee as long as you can cure my
grandpa.â Camila glanced at the man again. Then, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile
slowly. That smile of hers was very arrogant. âRest assured. I've taken a look at Old Man Nolan's
illness just now. He will need a month to recover completely, but I can wake him up within the
hour.â When Penny heard those words, she flew into a rage. âWow; there's no need to pay taxes for
bragging, is there? You haven't even examined him; do you even know what kind of illness my
grandpa is suffering from? Wake him up within the hour? Stop talking out of your a*s!â Camila
scowled fiercely. This woman's buzzing is more annoying than a fly. Just as
she was about to say something, she heard two voices ringing out in unison. âShut up!â
âThat's the difference between you and Mommy!"
Both father and son defended her at the same time as if they had agreed on it beforehand
When Silas heard the voice, he paused slightly. Turning around, his gaze collided with South's. That
child's gaze was very self-composed. Outwardly, it seemed like he had a calmness beyond his peers,
and his eyes sparkled brightly. Even Silas, who had a dislike for children, found this child extremely
adorable. It's unbelievable. I don't believe this hateful woman, Camila Brooklyn, could have such an
adorable son! Similarly, it was also the first time South met his biological dad's gaze straight on. For
a moment, he was completely captivated by that pair of eyes. Compared to all the men he had met
before, Silas was different. Just by standing there, his aura overflowed from his entire body, and it
was enough to make people surrender to him.
This is the kind of daddy I want. Afterward, South slowly withdrew his gaze and quietly leaned
against Camila. Silas glanced at South, then said to Camila, âMiss Brooklyn, please don't mind her.
Please treat my grandpa!â Camila gave Penny a dirty look, turned around, and walked over to the
bed. Facing the patient, her expression changed drastically and she became extremely serious. Then,
she took out a small wrist pillow from her black backpack. After that, she took Old Man Nolan's
pulse and opened his eyes to check them. Once she confirmed her preliminary diagnosis, she took
out a rolled-up white cloth bag from her backpack and spread it out with a flourish. Inside the bag
were densely-packed silver needles of varying lengths-it was extremely shocking to see. Everybody
glanced at each other, using their gazes to express their suspicions. Is this woman going to perform
acupuncture? Is she a traditional medicine practitioner? Aren't all traditional medicine practitioners
old men with a head of white hair?
Although they were filled with doubt, they were deterred by Silas and didn't dare to make any
objections. However, when they saw how Camila skillfully drew out silver needles and accurately
inserted them into various acupuncture points on Old Man Nolan's body, they were amazed.
Her skill in inserting the needles was smooth from years of practice, and she was extremely accurate
when locating the acupuncture points. One glance was enough to tell that she wasn't ordinary-her
level of skill wasn't something that could have been achieved without constant practice and lots of
experience. At that moment, the room was silent. Everybody stared at Camila as she worked,
including Penny, who remained unconvinced.
On the other hand, Camilaâs gaze was steady. She was utterly focused as she continued to insert the
needles into various other acupuncture points on the old man's body. Silas stared at the woman in
front of him, from the start to the end, as she put the needles in his grandfather's body, one by one.
The worry and suspicions he had at the
start had turned into amazement and admiration by this point. He was beginning to develop a
deep-seated desire to understand this woman.
Just who on earth is this woman?
