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 can’t 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.
