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

Dustin ran his fingers over his lips, savoring the fragrance that still lingered. He blushed.How embarrassing to have a kiss stolen in broad daylight!"Hmph!" A disdainful scoff came from the door.When Dustin looked up, all he saw was a familiar figure walking away indignantly.After she got in the car, Dahlia stepped on the gas and disappeared down the road in the blink of an eye."Was that…Dahlia?" Natasha asked teasingly."Looks like it." Dustin nodded blankly."Aren't you going after her to explain what she just saw?" Natasha lifted a brow."What's there to explain? We're divorced! It's not like I'm cheating on her." Dustin stood his ground."You've got a point there." Natasha smiled."You're mine now, why would you need to explain to anyone else?" She thought to herself.As they were conversing, another car pulled up at the entrance.The car door opened, and in came a paunchy man. It was Malcolm Shane. He took in his surroundings as he entered."Hey, isn't this Dr. Shane? Why is

Malcolm was surprised that Natasha actually accepted the needles so readily. Was she not going to at least act modest by declining his offer?"Before I forget, Dr. Shane, since you have a keen eye for valuables, I have something I'd like you to help me evaluate," Natasha requested after accepting the golden needles."Oh? What is it? Please let me have a look," Malcolm said confidently."Here." Natasha showed him a green pill.Malcolm took the pill from her and nodded with satisfaction after having a good look at it. "This crystal clear pill has a bright luster to it, and it gives off a distinct fragrance. From the looks of it, it's quite remarkable!""What good judgment, Dr. Shane!" Natasha gave him a thumbs up. "This pill is called Immortunol. It can enhance a person's beauty, promote longevity, and has anti-aging effects. If you're not worried that we've spiked it, you may give it a try, Dr. Shane.""So what if it's spiked? What fear have I of poison?" Malcolm smiled proudly and swa
