"Grandma's condition is better than expected. Keep up with the nutritional meals and the acupuncture treatments. Her cardiopulmonary functions will recover in half a month." She set Kiera's chart aside.
Kiera, who had been respectfully helped back into her hospital bed, beamed at Serena's words. "Good, good. I'll listen to you, sweetheart. Whatever treatment you recommend, I'll do it."
She glanced at Mr. White, who was standing beside her granddaughter like an eager student, frantically taking notes on a notepad.
He looked incredibly attentive.
It was obvious now.
This Mr. White had clearly been thoroughly conquered by her granddaughter's medical genius in the past.
Serena picked up the other file, tapping her finger against a brain CT scan. Her tone grew heavier. "Grandpa's condition is exactly as I suspected. It's a bit tricky."
Holden blinked in surprise. "Me? I'm perfectly healthy. Aside from the occasional dizzy spell, I'm right as rain."
"The dizziness is an early warning sign," Serena said, narrowing her eyes. "Do you also experience occasional blurred vision and numbness in your limbs? You probably thought it was just bad eyesight and arthritis, but it's actually being caused by a cerebral aneurysm."
"It's in a highly precarious location, compressing your optic nerve and some motor nerves. It's stable for now, but if it's triggered and ruptures, the consequences would be catastrophic."
Holden and Kiera both paled. "How... how could it be that serious?"
White's face drained of color.
These two patients had been at his facility for years, yet he had completely missed the issue in Holden's brain.
The location was so obscure that it was nearly impossible to detect, even on advanced imaging.
