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.

“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.
