Chapter 52:
Ruby’s expression was one of pure disbelief. “How would I know? She’s actually the last student of Dr. Pierce! How is that even possible?” she said.
Meanwhile, Alec’s mind was working in a different direction. “If she’s really that talented in medicine, maybe we should let her examine my mother later,” he said.
Ruby nodded in agreement. “Maybe we should bring her back into the family. With her status as Dr. Pierce’s renowned student, we could gain incredible connections through her p>
Alec seemed to agree and nodded, but Isabella immediately objected. “No way! If we let her back, she’ll outshine me. And what if she steals my fiancé from me p>
Inside the hospital room, Brenna focused on Vincent, carefully retrieving a set of disposable needles from her medical kit. With precise movements, she began the acupuncture treatment, targeting his head first before following the meridians down the left side of his body.
A hush fell over the room. Then, miraculously, Vincent’s fingers twitched ever so slightly.
The Mitchell family members were all very surprised to see that.
“The doctors said Grandpa wouldn’t be able to move his left side for at least six months,” Ethan said with a smile, his voice laced with astonishment. “But Dad—his fingers just moved p>
Emmett, equally amazed, chuckled. “I saw it. Dr. Harper truly lives up to her reputation as Dr. Pierce’s student. Her skills are remarkable!” he exclaimed.
Brenna calmly finished the acupuncture treatment and turned to Ethan. “It’s just a small movement, nothing significant. This is just the beginning. It’s a small sign of improvement, proving that Mr. Mitchell’s nerves are still intact. With continued treatment, he will gradually recover,” she said.
Ethan, thoroughly impressed, smiled. “You’re very humble. We’ve invited numerous specialists before, and none have achieved what you just did,” he said.

He pulled a tissue from his pocket and helped wipe the sweat from Brenna’s forehead. “Thank you for your work. Let me treat you to lunch later p>
Brenna blinked, slightly caught off guard. She had been paid for the treatment, after all—she was just doing her job. Why was he thanking her like this?
“There’s no need for that,” she responded flatly.
The elders of the Mitchell family didn’t miss the exchange between Ethan and Brenna, but it was Emmett who paid the closest attention. He had been watching his son carefully and had already noticed how unusually attentive Ethan was toward Brenna, especially when he personally wiped the sweat from her forehead—something completely out of character for him.
If a woman tripped and scraped her knee in front of Ethan, he wouldn’t even spare her a glance. But now, he was not only paying attention to Brenna but also personally caring for her.
