Chapter 157
After getting to know the whole situation, Claudia was not the only one who was surprised. Even Lily was astounded too.Had she known Dustin’s identity, she would not have let Caden drive him away so easily. After all, he had helped her daughter!"It’s fortunate that nothing serious happened. Had we thrown the pill away, Sheila would have been in grave danger!" Lily shuddered to think of what could have happened.She considered herself lucky that she still had the pill with her, or the consequences would have been unimaginable."Sheila is safe for the time being, but the coldness within her has yet to be completely eliminated."After checking on Sheila, Caden ordered, "Claudia, go to the medical center and get Dustin here.""But Uncle Caden, you don’t really believe that the fellow can cure Sheila, do you?" Claudia’s expression was one of disbelief. She had a preconceived notion that Dustin wasn’t a trustworthy person."I’d just like to see what treatment plans he has to propose," Cade

"Stop whatever you’re doing!" The voice bellowed.Xavier Horst strode in imposingly and shouted, "Uncle Caden, we do not know this man! We cannot let him put Sheila’s life at risk!""I understand that you’re worried for Sheila, Xavier. But we do not have any better alternatives now. He is our only hope." Caden shook his head."Who says we have not got any better alternatives? See who I brought!" Xavier gestured dramatically and directed everyone’s attention to the entrance.In came a podgy old man dressed in a loose green robe. He made his way in confidently."Dr. Shane?" There was an instant uproar when everyone caught sight of him.The doctors’ seemed to have transformed into eager fanboys who met their idols. Their level of excitement was off the charts. This was, after all, the world-renowned miracle healer, Dr. Malcolm Shane!His expertise in acupuncture was one of a kind, and all these experts and professors were considered nothing compared to him."Dr. Shane?" Caden and the res

The doctors gathered around to reprimand Dustin."Young man, may I know from whom you learned your skills? How dare you brag in front of everyone?" Malcolm gave him a once over, obviously displeased.In all the years he practiced his medical skills, he had never once been doubted. Much less by a rascal who was still wet behind the ears!"Hah! You overestimate yourself! How dare you put on airs in front of Dr. Shane? You’re really asking for it!" Xavier said in a hostile manner."Young man, I do not know where you got the confidence to doubt Dr. Shane, but I would like you to please leave now. Do not disrupt him from saving my daughter!" Caden spoke sternly with an annoyed expression. How dare this fellow tried to take advantage of his benevolence?"There’s no need to drive him out. Let him stay and watch. Since he doubts my skills, I’ll show him what I’m capable of!" Malcolm stood with his hands behind his back. "As expected of Dr. Shane! He carries himself with such dignity and confi

"What?"Everyone turned to look.Sure enough, they found her just as Lily said. Sheila, whose condition seemed to have improved a while ago, now looked much paler than before, and more frost had formed on her brows and hair.From the way things looked, not only had her condition not improved, it even worsened."Dr. Shane, whatever is going on?" Caden’s brows knitted together tightly, his expression stern."This is most peculiar. Technically speaking, she should be fine after the coldness has been expelled." Malcolm found Sheila’s condition very strange. She had been fine just a while ago; how did her condition worsen in just the blink of an eye?"What do we do now, Dr. Shane?" Caden questioned persistently."Don’t be anxious. Let me give it another try." Malcolm didn’t give up just yet. He used the same technique to rid Sheila of the coldness within her.But the results were the same. In just under three minutes, Sheila’s condition went back to square one. It was as though the coldness

Everyone watched wide-eyed as Dustin administered the fiery beetle.The moment it entered Sheila’s body, the effect was immediate. The cold air around her began to dissipate, and in less than three minutes, her body had gone from icy cold to being at a regular temperature.She gained color in her cheeks, and her breathing steadied.Then, under the disbelieving gaze of the crowd, she whimpered and came around."She’s awake?" Astonishment was evident on the crowd’s faces.The fact that a rascal like Dustin was able to cure Sheila of her condition when even Dr. Shane was unable to was beyond them.It was shocking indeed!"H—How is this possible?" Xavier’s eyes widened, bewildered.How could an unknown doctor possess such skills?"How did he do it?" Claudia was equally amazed and terrified.She struggled to come to terms with how something she had always thought was evil had healing properties."I never knew that the mystic arts had such amazing effects!" Malcolm’s eyes lit up as he marvel

Caden gestured to the butler, who immediately got the message."This way, please, Mr. Rhys.""Sure." Dustin nodded and followed the butler to the lounge. He took a seat and waited. It was a long wait.It wasn’t until he finished his third cup of tea that Caden appeared with several men in tow."I really appreciate you saving my daughter, young man. Here’s a ten-million-dollar check. Consider this your pay." Caden sat down and motioned to one of his men, who presented a check to Dustin."What? Thank you for your kind intentions, Mr. Murray, but this isn’t what I want." Dustin stared at the check, puzzled. "It doesn’t matter whether you want it. What matters is that this is what I’m paying you for a job well done." Caden sipped on his tea."What’s that supposed to mean?" Dustin’s eyes narrowed."Don’t you get it? The Gozoraberry isn’t yours. All you’re getting is the money." Caden spelled it out in plain words."Mr. Murray, we had a deal. I cure your daughter, and you give me the Gozora

"Hahaha!" Dustin was so infuriated that he laughed out loud when he saw the guards rush in.Anyone would have assumed that such a prestigious family would at least put in some effort to uphold their reputation. Who would have guessed that they would act so shamelessly?Not only did they go back on their word, they even betrayed someone who had offered them help in their time of need! And now that things didn’t go their way, they resorted to violence and threats. How tyrannical and despicable!"Caden Murray! Are you about to repay kindness with ingratitude?" Dustin’s gaze frosted over, and an imposing air came over him."Young man, you’d be smart to back off now. Ten million dollars is enough to last you a lifetime. You better not get greedy!" Caden warned.People in his position were only interested in what benefited them. Naturally, he would place connections with the Horst family above an unknown doctor like Dustin."Am I being greedy, or are you the one taking advantage of me? Do yo

When Dustin returned to Peaceful Medical Center, he found a silver Bentley parked right at the entrance.He walked in to see a lady with a beguiling face. Her shapely figure and enchanting temperament, matched with her bewitching smile, made her nothing less than a top-tier seductress."What brings you here, Ms. Harmon?" Dustin was slightly startled. Though they were already familiar with each other, he still found her stunning every time he saw her."Why to see you, of course. You're such a busy person, and you rarely ever come to see me. Surely you can't forbid me from coming here to meet you?" Natasha said begrudgingly."That's not what I meant. Right, how's it going with Immortunol? Are its effects as expected?" Dustin changed the topic awkwardly. "It's much better than expected! I've come here especially to thank you. Immortunol has way better effects than Eternumax. I believe that once Immortunol is launched, the big bucks will start rolling in in no time." Natasha smiled."Is t
