Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 79

Camila Davis didn’t know any of this.

She was still going non-stop, treating those special forces guys like always.

After her performance yesterday, word had spread through the entire base—this lady was a miracle worker. Stories flew around: chronic aches cleared up, old injuries fixed in a snap. No wonder the line outside the clinic was way longer than usual today.

Normally, Camila only worked half-days, but today she stuck around for two extra hours, waiting for Dennis Williams to show up.

Mr. White didn’t dare push her too hard, either. Finally, only two patients were left. He turned to Camila and said, “These two are the guys Mr. Williams treated last night—Luke and Carl. They both have some old issues. Mind taking a look before you head out, Ms. Davis?”

“Of course,” Camila said, giving the guys a quick once-over.

Neither of them looked a day over thirty, but they were pale and tired, with a weird grayish tint to their skin. They looked anything but healthy.

She frowned, a little concerned. “What symptoms are you dealing with, gentlemen? Are you sure you’re done with treatment?”

They didn’t look it.

Mr. White shook his head. “Their cases are complicated. The main problem is their mood swings—they go from hyper to depressed in a snap… But Mr. Williams has never failed. He’ll get them sorted, I’m sure.”

Camila didn’t doubt Dennis’s skills, but something just felt off about these two.

Especially the veins on their foreheads—those stood out in a way that just wasn’t normal.

Trusting her instincts, Camila’s expression turned serious as she checked their pulses.

Mr. White noticed her concern right away. “Ms. Davis, is something wrong with their conditions? The army doctors treated them first, and even assigned special care.”

Camila shook her head. “I’m not sure yet. Let me keep looking…”

She released their wrists, then checked their eyes, the whites, a few subtle reflexes—basic neurological stuff. Finally, she pressed her fingers against their temples.

Instantly, both men flinched, their faces twisting with discomfort.

Camila knew, right then and there, that something was wrong with their brains—specifically, their nervous systems.
