To let go of the control you cling to so desperately?” His eyes were piercing, almost as if he could see the very depths of Rodrigo’s soul. “This journey is as much about healing the heart as it is about healing the body.”

Rodrigo nodded, knowing he was ready to face whatever it took. “I am willing to do whatever it takes.”

The doctor turned his attention to Camila, gently examining her with the care of someone who understood the fragility of life. “Her condition is rare, and it requires a treatment that is just as unique. It will be a combination of traditional wisdom and the unconventional — things that have been forgotten or ignored because they don’t fit into modern medicine.”
