Cherise, the won’t be a walk in the park, but remember, Im side, no matter what,” Morris assured her, his tone warm. He coded his words with a pat on her head, which made Cherise raise an eyebrow, though she nodded in response.
Nick and the pure exchanged puzzled glances. The stern Morris they knew was showing an unusual level of tenderness sowards Cherie, plequing their curiosity about the backstory behind his behavior.

With a frown, Cherise checked Phoebe’s pulse, her face growing serious as she released Phoebe’s wrist and pulled a set of ar upaincture needles from her bag
“I need a basin by the bedude, please, Cherise said firmly to Nick and the nurse.
They exchanged glances, unsure, but did as she asked, trusting in Morris’s faith in her abilities.
As the nurse brought over a basin, Cherise started to prepare the acupuncture.
She pulled back the blanket to expose Phoebe’s limbs and skillfully placed needles into specific acupuncture points.
Minutes later, the steady beat of the heart monitor indicated that Phoebe’s vitals had evened out, signaling a return to normal.
A stunned silence enveloped the room, with Nick and the nurse speechless as Morris barely suppressed his excitement.
Nick approached Cherise, his voice tentative. “Ms Leach, the monitors are steady now. Is Mrs. Chivers going to come around soon
Cherise responded with a calm demeanor, “We’re not there yet. She has to get rid of the toxins first.”
At the mention of toxins, Nick frowned skeptically.
Cherise concentrated on the acupuncture, deftly placing more needles into several other acupuncture points.
Nick, recalling his traditional medicine classes, recognized these points as part of the detoxification process.
Phoebe’s sudden, violent coughing made Cherise quickly

As soon as the words left her mouth, Phoebe coughed hard once more. Nick and the nurse quickly moved to help her sit up.

“Cherise, what’s the situation?” Morris asked, worry lines appearing on his forehead
Cherise spoke calmly, “It appears she was poisoned. The poisoning aggravated her heart attack Standard treatments dides work, they actually made her condition worse?
“Poisoned?” Morris’s eyes turned cold.
Cherise instructed Nick and the nurse to carefully lay Phoebe flat. As they did so, her complexson began to improve ing its deathly hue.
“Expect her to wake up in about ten minutes, Cherise informed Morris, her eyes meeting his
“Cherise, you have my gratitude. How can I repay you?” Morris said, a small smile touching his lips as he spoke to Cherise “We’ll talk about that after she wakes up,” Cherise replied, evading a direct answer.
Nick was left speechless.Cherise had achieved in under an hour what he and his team at Clusia’s top hospital had failed to do in days–they hadn’t even identified the poisoning.
Admiration filled Nick’s eyes as he looked at Cherise, and then, to her surprise, he bowed before her. “Ms. Leach. I would be honored to be your student. I misjudged you; your medical expertise is truly extraordinary”
Cherise, exhausted from the acupuncture session, let out a weary sigh and instructed Nick, Tm prescribing medication for Mrs. Chivers. See that she receives these,” she said, handing him the prescription with explicit dosage directions.
Nick’s face brightened as he took the prescription. “You got it!” he replied cheerfully, and he hurried out the door.
Soon after, Phoebe started to regain consciousness, prompting Morris and Cherise to gather around her bed.
Cherise carefully took Phoebe’s pulse to evaluate her state, and the signs were positive,
When Phoebe’s eyes fluttered open, she gazed at Cherise and murmured, “Could I be in heaven? You look like an angel, so beautiful,” her voice faint yet brimming with amazement.
Then, spotting Morris, she looked puzzled. “My, you could be my grandson’s twin,” she said, her confusion clear.
