Chapter 378
Camilaâs Suspicion Camila was prepared to inject another needle into Brian's arm. She looked at
Silas for his help to fold Brian's sleeve up by a notch. Silas paused for a while and walked toward
Brian to fold his sleeve, revealing a long, albeit shallow, cut. This startled Camila âHow did you get
this?" Before Silas could explain, Brian answered, âSome burglar broke into my house last night,
guess that's how I got it.â Camila contemplated but refrained from asking further. Now she knew
why Silas refused to let him carry anything when they ascended the floor-he knew he was injured.
With all that had happened, Carnilaâs suspicions grew bigger as to the fact that there was something
behind why Silas abandoned his mother and brother back then.
She applied the last needle onto Brian and stood up. âAlright, we will remove the needles twenty
minutes later. Until then, do not moveâ She then rested on the couch opposite the room. Silas sat
beside her and asked, âAre you tired? Would you like a massage?â Camila threw him a stare. âI'd be
fine if you'd annoy me less.â Silas chuckled. âWhen have I annoyed you?â Camila scoffed lightly,
âJust a while ago Just because you didn't say it out loud, it doesn't mean I don't know you were
making fun of me!â Upon hearing that, Silas failed to hold back any longer. Besides, recalling the
dumplings Camila made earlier in the evening only tickled him further. He tried hard to wipe the
grin off his face, but Camila caught it right away, and she angrily pointed at him âLook at you; you're
laughing again!â Silas gave up and let out a loud giggle, but before Camila could get angry, he
pulled her into his arms and comforted her, âNo, no, no. I was just laughing at how adorable you
are.â Camila pouted her lips. âYeah, right. You were just laughing at me.â âI wasn'tâ Silas swore.
âEveryone's got something they're good and bad at. Look at how good you are at designing
clothes, and acupuncture; I'm not good at those. So what if you can't cook well? It's the boyfriend's
job to cook, and the girlfriend's job to eat. As for making dumplings, we can do it together if you
know how to, or I could do it all myself. You donât have to worry.â Such soothing words, which
sounded not much different from a confession, consoled Camila.
On the other hand, Brian's face lit up. He thought he would feel jealous looking at
them, but he did not. He was rather glad to see the smiles on their faces. This was the outcome he
had hoped for. Twenty minutes passed, and Camila removed the needles. Silas asked, âIf we see the
effects tomorrow, does that mean you are able to treat him?â Camila said, âTheoretically, yes. That
just proves my diagnosis.â Silas asked again, âHow long will this treatment take, then?â Camila
answered, âBrian's situation is quite serious, even if I treat him, it'd take at least half a month of
continuous acupuncture treatment, with supplementary medication.â Silas ieplied, âOkay.â He then
turned to Brian. âDo you feel anything?â Brian replied, âNot much.â In truth, he did feel something
different. He had been feeling clouded and groggy for quite some time, but after the treatment, his
mind felt unexpectedly clear and focused again. He dared not reveal it, for fear that it was only This
own imagination. Silas comforted him, âlis just the start After all, you've had this condition for so
many years; it's not something we can fix in a short while.â
Both men hung out at the Brooklyn Residence until 11.00PM before Brian decided to leave. As Silas
escorted Brian to the entrance, he asked, âDo you need me to arrange for someone to send you
back?â Brian scoffed, âDon't think I'd forgive you just because you saved me a few times.â Silas was
speechless. âFine. As you wish!" Brian ignored him and walked out. Two steps later, he stopped and
replied, âIf you don't treat her right, I'll take her away from you.â
