Chapter 244
A hush fell over the ward as Cameron's words echoed in the room.
Everyone was taken aback. Cameron had spoken with such authority, hitting the nail on the head with each
sentence and tossing numerous technical terms.
It was as if he was countering expertise with expertise.
“..."” Mikel’s gaze flickered. His complexion turned sour. Cameron had hit the mark with everything
he said.
Mikel had always believed in his clinical experience of over a decade, confident that such a misdiagnosis was
impossible—especially since the patient was Tara's grandfather.
He was eager to use this opportunity to get closer to Tara, almost wishing Dylan had cancer. After a brief clinical
diagnosis and simaging analysis, he was convinced it was cancer.
However, according to Cameron, Dylan was suffering from nodular hyperplasia caused by liver toxicity. It was a
condition often misdiagnosed as cancer in the medical field. If what he said was true, this could tarnish Mikel's
lifelong reputation.

“So, everything Cameron said is true?”
Tara's eyes were filled with deep anger as she turned to Mikel. She had trusted him so much, yet seemed to
disregard her grandfather's life.

Mikel’s lips trembled as he hurriedly explained, “Dr. Smith, that’s not the case. Don't listen to that kid's
nonsense. | was very serious when diagnosing your grandfather!”
“So your idea of being ‘serious’ is making a diagnosis without even conducting an enhanced CT scan or
hemodialysis for my grandfather?” Tara's eyes bore coldly into Mikel. “Is this how a cancer specialist is supposed
to act?”
“I...” Mikel was at a loss for words.
“Mr. Kennedy, if my grandfather was misdiagnosed because of your negligence, I'll hold your accountable!” Tara
declared with a fierce expression.
Then, she turned to Cameron and softened her tone. “Cameron, my grandfather really doesn’t have liver cancer,
does he?”
She wasn’t an expert in oncology. She was just somewhat knowledgeable. Most of what she knew cfrom
professional doctors‘ conclusions.
“Yes,” Cameron affirmed.
“Then why did the traditional medicines I initially used for liver cancer seem to alleviate my grandfather's
symptoms?” Tara was puzzled.
“Because the ingredients you used, like Prunella vulgaris and Cassia seed, have effects that cool the

liver and detoxify,” Cameron explained.

“But your grandfather's liver toxicity is severe. Those two herbs alone won't have much effect. The misdiagnosis
made his condition worse, rendering the slight medicinal effects insignificant.”
He added, “Dr. Smith, if you're not convinced, you can take your grandfather for an enhanced CT scan and
hemodialysis. I'm sure the results will be revealed soon.
“I believe you, Cameron!” Tara's eyes sparkled as she looked at him. “Can you cure my grandfather?”
“Yes.”

“Right now?”
“Well... A full treatment might take about a month. But after | administer acupuncture, your grandfather should
wake up.
“That's wonderful! Please start treating my grandfather right away!”
Tara was trembling with excitement. She had never dreamed that her grandfather's condition could be cured.
She had despaired and cried many times....
“Alright.” Cameron nodded. He took out the silver needles he carried with him and was ready to perform
bloodletting on Dylan.
“Stop right there, kid!” Mikel suddenly shouted to stop Cameron.
“This is outrageous! Do you think this hospital is your private clinic where you can treat anyone you like? And
what's this method? Silver needles? Are you treating him or trying to kill him?”
“Where's security? Get him out of here now!”
Regardless of whether Cameron's diagnosis was correct, Mikel’s reputation would be ruined if Cameron somehow
managed to cure Dylan.
He couldn’t let Cameron treat the patient or let Tara take Dylan for an enhanced CT scan. If sacrificing a patient
or two could save his reputation, so be it.
