Chapter 58 Food Tampering

Camila swept a glance across everybody in the room, then pretended to be unconcerned. “It's

nothing; I was just asking. It wasn't due to a fluctuation in his emotions and the food he ate seems

fine. Perhaps, his blood pressure is simply unstable due to his medical history. Old Man Nolan is

getting on in his years. Next time, you should take him out to the yard for a short walk when you're

free. I'm going to perform acupuncture on him now. Please leave the room so that the patient can

get some fresh air in here.” After that, everybody obediently left the room, leaving only Camila and

Silas inside the room.

“What's wrong?” Silas asked worriedly. Camila chuckled softly. I cant believe he could tell that I was

lying. Thus, she deliberately asked, “What?”

He replied confidently, “There's something amiss about why my grandpa is unconscious!” She raised

her brows at him. “Smart!” As she said that, she glanced at the tightly-shut door. “Old Man Nolan's

coma was caused by a sudden rise in his blood pressure. If it wasn't due to a fluctuation in his

emotions, and the food he ate wasn't something that could influence his blood pressure, that can

only mean that somebody tampered with his food!" His expression darkened immediately-it was

terrifying. “Are you saying somebody is trying to hurt him?” Meanwhile, she had on a serious

expression as she opened the bag she brought with her and spread it open. Taking out the needles

that were carefully arranged in the bag, she inserted needles into the nine acupuncture points along

his pericardium meridian, which started from the chest and ran down along the arm to end at the

tip of the middle finger. As she worked, she was unhurried, and every needle she inserted was

precise.

Thus, he did not rush her nor disturb her. Besides, he found the way she looked at the moment to

be very pleasant to the eyes. After a while, she stood up and looked at him. “I suspect somebody

added a small amount of medication in the old man's food to increase his blood pressure. As you

know, people with cerebrovascular diseases are most sensitive to sudden increases in their blood

pressure. If it only happens once or twice, nothing might come out of it. But, if it happens over a

long period, the walls of the arteries will become thin. If that happens, the old man’s life will be

endangered!” His expression was dark and solemn, and his eyes were dangerously narrowed.

However, he said nothing.

"Have you thought about how you're going to catch the culprit?” she asked,

He replied, “There are surveillance cameras in the Nolan residence.”

"If you know about it, won't the people who tampered with the old man’s food know about it too?”

she asked again.

Upon hearing that, Silas frowned. That's true. It's not going to be easy to catch a culprit that was

actively avoiding the surveillance cameras. “Then, let's interrogate them one by one!” “That will just

tip the culprits off.” He gazed up at her. “Do you have a way to catch them?” Camila studied her

surroundings. Old Man Nolan's room was the easiest place for somebody to avoid the surveillance

cameras as well as everybody else. Then, she pointed at a small ornament on the bedside table. “If

they can do it once, they will do it again. As long as you don't alert them to it, you'll be able to catch

the culprit.”

He immediately understood what she meant. “Okay.” As they talked, Old Man Nolan, who was lying

on the bed, gradually opened his eyes. He looked at the people around him in confusion while he

was still a little drowsy; the first face he saw was Camila“s. A look of surprise flashed across his face

before he understood what was going on. “Doctor Brooklyn?” Camila nodded. Then, she started

removing the needles from his shoulder, smilingly saying to him, “Grandpa, how do you feel?” Old

Man Nolan smiled and nodded. “I'm good; just a little tired and disorganized.”

She laughed, coaxing him, “That's normal. You overslept. It's already noon. You slept so much you

nearly scared your family to death.” Feeling happy after being coaxed, he smiled. “They just like

making a fuss out of nothing!” Still, she sternly warned, “Grandpa, you can't act so willfully next

time.”

Silas stood by the bed with his hands in his pockets, glancing down at the old man on the bed.

Although he looked like he normally did, there was a trace of joy and relief in his eyes.

In response, Old Man Nolan smilingly replied, “I got it! I'll sleep less next time!” Upon hearing that,

Silas smiled silently. As if you can sleep less just because you want

to.

The atmosphere of the entire room became warmer simply because the old man had woken up.

Until... Camila answered a phone call that destroyed the warm atmosphere within the room. “What?!

How is my child doing?” Camila was so frightened that she stood up abruptly

and her complexion drained of color immediately.
