Over an hour passed, and after Cherise removed the final needle from Clara's back, Clara, looking exhausted, slowly closed her eyes.

Watching Clara fall asleep, Cherise exchanged a glance with Hank, signaling him to step outside.

A few seconds later, the two were standing face-to-face by the window outside the hospital room.

Hank spoke first. "As soon as you got back, you've already started thinking about a treatment plan, haven't you? Have you figured it out yet? If not, you wouldn't have inade a move so easily. "From the way you were inserting the needles and choosing the acupoints, I've seen something like that in old medical texts. Too bad I can't carry it out yet."

Cherise smiled somewhat playfully, intrigued by the mysterious boy before her. She wanted to uncover his secrets but also hesitated, curious to see what other surprises he might have hidden.

She had the feeling that Hank wasn't just an ordinary orphan, or perhaps, he didn't belong to the orphanage at all. There was something out of place about him.

One thing was clear. Hank meant no harm. He didn't give off the same uncertain vibe Cherise had felt when meeting Rita for the first time.

Cherise was certain that Hank wouldn't be an enemy to her or to Morris. In fact, she almost felt he was an ally.

But what exactly he was, she couldn't say. All she knew was that, at his age, he had already mastered the art of disguise.

But that was exactly what made it interesting.

Cherise looked at him and spoke coolly. "You're only 14, and there's plenty of time ahead. As for the treatment plan, I'd say I've come up with half of it. The best approach is a combination of traditional and modern medicine. "It's unlikely for a chronic illness to be cured all at once. What we can do is give her hope and make her life as normal as anyone else's."
