Jenna's phone burst into a jingle that cut through the silence of the room.

She set her pen aside and fished the device out of her pocket. The caller ID showed it was Bethany Bethany. With

a swift tap, she answered, “Alright, I'll be right down.”

After hanging up, Jenna turned to Mirabella, “Mira, | need to step out for a sec to pick up my cousin. Be right

back.”

Mirabella gave a small nod, her features barely shifting. “Sure.”

Jenria, clutching her phone, rushed out while Mirabella watched her disappear around the corner towards the

elevator before turning to close the door behind her.

Approaching the hospital bed, Mirabella pulled out a set of silver needles she had tucked away in her bag earlier

that morning. Unrolling the leather cloth, she took the longest one and leaned over, carefully inserting it into a

critical point atop Jake's head.

If any practitioner of alternative medicine had been present, they would have been taken aback by the precision

of Mirabella’s needle placements. Each point she targeted was delicate, where the slightest mishandling could

result in immediate death. Yet, she wielded the needles with an ease that bordered on the reckless, reminiscent

of a quack rather than a skilled healer.

Just as she finished with the head, the monitors beside the bed flickered with new activity, a clear sigh of brain

wave fluctuations. Mirabella barely glanced at it before continuing her work. She swiftly selected two shorter

needles, inserting them into the acupoints on Jake's wrist.. Suddenly, Jake's fingers twitched almost

imperceptibly. Mirabella noted the movement silently, her mind counting the seconds. Two minutes later, she

began to remove the needles.

Meanwhile, Jenna had returned with Bethany and her folks, their footsteps echoing off the hospital walls as they

approached the sixth floor.

Leading the way. Jenna reached the door to the hospital room, her hand gently turning the knob. The door swung

open to reveal Mirabella, still seated calmly. Jenna quickly introduced her to her family in a hushed tone. “This is

my friend. She cto visit Dad.”

Bethany’s eyes sparkled upon seeing Mirabella. Her thoughts were easily summed up. “Pretty cool lady.”

Mirabella rose, her smile courteous as she nodded in greeting. Her beauty and manners. disarmed any potential

unease. Picking up her shoulder bag, Mirabella addressed Jenna, “I should head out.”

Jenna considered her family and didn’t insist on keeping Mirabella any longer. “Letwalk you out.”

Mirabella simply nodded, accepting the offer. As they stepped out, she pulled a small bottle from her pocket and

handed it to Jenna, “Give one to your dad when he wakes up, and then one

more each day after that.”

Jenna paused, not quite grasping the meaning of her words but instinctively taking the bottle.

“See you next week.” Mirabella waved goodbye and walked away.

Jenna watched her leave before finally bringing her attention back to the small porcelain bottle in her hand.

Curious, she unscrewed the lid and sniffed-traditional herbs.

At that moment, Bethany burst out of the room, a wild joy on her face. “Jenna, Uncle Jake's awake!

Jenna spun around, her eyes wide in disbelief. “What did you say?”

“I said, your dad's awake!

Tears welled up in Jenna’s eyes as she hastily secured the cap on the bottle and tucked it away. She stumbled

into the room to see the miracle for herself.
