Chapter 465: Efforts in Vain
At that time, Liam was seriously ill, and the Hargraves family had sent many people to regularly treat Liam’s body. However, Liam’s condition was too weak, and they didn’t dare to use overly strong remedies.
According to Liam, this woman had precisely targeted the critical points with her needles, which ultimately saved him.
Now, hearing Olivia’s analysis, Cameron couldn’t help but ask, “Given Liam’s condition at the time, what basis did you have for using such acupuncture methods?”
Olivia was momentarily stunned, remembering that she had taken a risky approach back then. But explaining it like this to Cameron might not be convincing.
After all, her method was indeed very risky.
Thinking of this, Olivia hesitated for a moment and explained, “I accidentally came across it in a medical book. Liam’s condition matched what was described in the book, so I thought I’d give it a try.”
Cameron nodded knowingly, without doubting her words.
There were indeed some books in Benjamin’s collection. Since Olivia was Benjamin’s apprentice, it wasn’t surprising that she had seen those books.
Moreover, given Olivia’s young age, Cameron didn’t think her medical skills would be that advanced.
“Thanks to your method, Old Qin recovered so quickly,” Cameron complimented with a smile.
Olivia smiled modestly.
The two chatted briefly, and Cameron remained polite throughout, which gradually made Olivia lower her guard.
She had initially thought that Cameron, coming from the Hargraves family, would have an air of superiority. However, she was pleasantly surprised by his good manners and humility.
It seemed that their future cooperation would be pleasant as well.
A staff member knocked and entered, “Young Master Hargraves, the hospital is ready, and the children are waiting.”
Hearing this, Cameron’ expression became serious. “It’s about time. Dr. Prescott, let’s change and get ready.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Olivia nodded and followed the staff to change clothes.
After changing in the dressing room, she ran into Harold.
Although Olivia had mentally prepared herself, she couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous as the free clinic was about to start. Seeing a familiar face eased her tension slightly. She greeted Harold with a smile, “Senior.”
Harold smiled and patted her shoulder. “No need to be nervous. Just treat it like any other time you see children. Your skills are more than adequate.”
Olivia smiled with pursed lips.
As they talked, Cameron also finished changing and walked over. “Ready? Let’s go.”
Since they were about to start working, Cameron’ face was serious again, and his demeanor turned sharp.
Olivia paused for a moment and instinctively glanced at Harold.
Harold smiled. “He knows we know each other. He even asked me about you earlier. Sorry, your efforts have been in vain.”
The so-called efforts were merely Olivia’s excuse to avoid suspicion by coming alone.
Seeing that Cameron already knew they were acquainted, Olivia relaxed and nodded at Harold before walking out together.
In just a few minutes, the courtyard had been set up with much more equipment than when she first arrived.
Olivia glanced around.
Although the Hargraves family was traditionally known for Chinese medicine, the courtyard was equipped with many Western medical machines to better treat the children.
The doctors who had been lining up earlier had already entered their respective booths, wearing friendly smiles as they looked at the children waiting in line to enter.
It all seemed very formal.
