Exiting the car at the Channing family villa, Alana took in the mixed feelings evoked by the familiar yet altered scene before
her.
This place held memories from five years back, moments of warmth and joy now tinged with change
Now, back again, everything felt different, her identity transformed.
“Dr. Walters?” Simon appeared at the door, greeting her with a smile.
Alana nodded. “That’s me.”
“Step right in. I’m Simon, the housekeeper. The head honcho’s been counting down the minutes till you got here.” Simont gestured for her to follow as he led the way inside.
Taking in the hall, Alana noted the familiar furnishings, save for a fresh addition–a sleek sofa.
Ladies, Dr. Walters is in the house, Simon announced with a respectful nod toward the sofa.
Rose’s eyes locked onto Alana’s, a spark of recognition igniting.
Beside her, Jennie piped up. “Oh! Well, bring Dr. Walters over, then
With assurance, Alana advanced toward the pair, offering a respectful nod. “Good day, ladies.”
Rose remained watchful, reciprocating with a subtle nod.
Setting her medical gear on the coffee table, Alana delved into her examination of Rose. Through keen observation, probing questions, and gentle palpation, she pieced together the diagnosis.
Five years back. Alana had faced a car crash en route to the cemetery, where she’d been rescued by Andrew, the son of a family friend.
After the accident, she endured severe injuries, nearly losing the baby. Andrew’s swift action and overseas treatment saved her life.
But recovery brought new challenges. She battled a chronic illness, marked by relentless coughing, while her premature babies struggled with fragile health
Driven to find solutions, Alana delved into ancient remedies, enrolling in a traditional medicine shop in Bestonia. Later, she pursued a master’s in alternative medicine.
To her amazement, her grasp of holistic healing soared, sparking remarkable improvements in her family’s well–being.
Rose became celebrated as a skilled alternative medicine healer, known for her prowess in addressing diverse health issues, drawing patients from distant places.
In the midst of this, Simon’s phone buzzed with a call from Shane.
Simon retreated to the backyard and took the call. “Yes, sir?”
“Has Dr. Walters arrived?” Shane asked.
“She did, and she’s treating your grandmother,” said Simon.
“Good. Ill be back in a moment. Keep her around after she’s done. I’d like to talk to her. Face to face,” said Shane.
“Of course, sir,” answered Simon.
As Alana carefully extracting the silver needles from Rose’s scalp, Rose gently inquired, “Could you share your name with
me?”
“Alana” Alana gave her a smile as she packed her things

“Alana. Reminds me of Celia. My grandson Shane once had a girlfriend named Celia, who resembled you in stature and build. I held a special fondness for that girl, but alas… “Rose’s voice trailed off, her emotions evident.
Observing Rose’s response, Simon was struck by the profound impact of Alana’s acupuncture session, cementing her status as a remarkable healer.
In the midst of the moment, a familiar voice broke through the door, “Hey, Grandma, how’s it going? I thought I’d pop by today.”
Alana shifted her gaze, catching sight of Samantha entering with a gift in hand.
Clad in a soft purple dress and a beige blazer, her makeup delicate, Samantha’s face betrayed a weariness not present five
years ago.
Their eyes locked, and Samantha’s heart fluttered.
Just days ago, she’d heard rumors that Shane had enlisted a world–renowned healer for Rose, but she hadn’t anticipated the healer to be such a young woman.
