Dylan examined Bella and frowned. “Is it bad?” Delia asked worriedly. “It’s nothing major. She just has to rest. She’ll be fine after that. Don’t let her get into any stressful situations,” Dylan said. “I’ll write you a prescription. After you get the medicine, remember to make sure your sister takes it on time every day. Make sure that the dosage is right. You cannot make any mistakes with it.” Delia read the prescription. “You really are one of the best physicians. The usual physician wouldn’t dare prescribe these two medicines together. If the dosage is a little off, the patient might die. Those who would dare make such a prescription are either useless or are as great and skilled as you are.” She smiled and praised Dylan. Dylan was shocked when he heard that. “You understand medicine?” Delia smiled. “Honestly, I’m an intermediate grade physician. The Medical Sage was once my teacher.” Dylan’s face darkened when he heard that. “Why is the student of the Medical S
Dustin said it loudly, so everyone heard it. Dylan’s face darkened as he scowled at Dustin. Delia looked at him in surprise and confusion. Why was Dustin siding with the Medical Sage? “The audacity! You have no right to talk about this!” Dylan’s assistant snapped and went over to Dustin. “You’re not welcome here! Leave!” He then tried to push Dustin and Simone out. Dustin glared at him. Bam! The assistant was flung back and fell beside Dylan and Delia and fainted. “You rude brat!” Dylan flew into a rage and slammed his hand against the table. He then threatened Dustin. “I’ve been a physician for years and have treated plenty of powerful people before! All of them feel grateful to me! You have no right to cause trouble in my clinic!” “Dustin, do you still think you’re in the Wyatt family, and you can do whatever you want here?” Delia asked with a sneer. “What do you think you’ll get by siding with the Medical Sage? Does he even know you? You’re insignificant. You can
“I can’t do it, Dustin. I know nothing about medicine!” Simone quickly shook her head. She was worried about Dustin losing. “Don’t worry. As long as you do what I say, you’ll be fine,” said Dustin reassuringly. Delia was furious. Dustin was asking a complete amateur to compete against her, an intermediate physician?! This was an insult! “If you lose, you have to crawl out of here like a dog!” she demanded viciously. “Sure,” Dustin said. While everyone watched, Dustin and Dylan each took a pill. “Delia, get three grams each of graminae, red wormroot, and morning glory leaves. Grind them into powder and dissolve them in warm water. Then, let me drink it,” Dylan said. That was the type of task even an intern could do easily, let alone an intermediate grade physician. “I’ll do it right away,” Delia said confidently. “Do you know how to cure the poison, boy?” Dylan looked at Dustin in amusement Dustin just smiled and did not reply. This minor poison was nothing and
“Stop!” When Dustin was about to walk out of the clinic, Dylan called out to him. “What? Unwilling to admit defeat?” asked Dustin as he turned around. “Of course not!” Dylan cried out. “You were just getting rid of poison! You can’t test any skill through that! Besides, I suspect that you already have the antidote. How else could you get rid of poison by just drinking warm water? It doesn’t make sense! That poison isn’t something that you can cure through warm water! You must have taken the antidote in secret!” Quite a number of people agreed with Dylan. After all, getting rid of poison through warm water was a little too far-fetched. Delia technically also gave Dylan some warm water, so why was he not cured of his poison? It did not make sense. “Dustin, you tricked us. If you have the guts, compete against Dr. Parker again! I refuse to believe that you have any knowledge about medicine! Prove it to me!” Delia cried out as well. “Who the hell do you think you are? Why
With that said, he picked five pills from the box. The crowd was shocked. “When physicians prepare their medicine, they’re very careful with it. Normal people will only dare to give one pill to their patients at a time, and they have to make sure that the dosage is absolutely correct too, but the good ones can give their patients multiple pills by customizing them. The more skilled you are, the more pills you can prepare for your patient at once. Someone at Dr. Parker’s level can give his patient five pills at once. There are only a handful of people in all of Lovellia who can do this!” Delia said loudly as if she shared in his glory. The crowd praised Dylan. Dustin smiled and said nothing. Dylan fed all five pills to Bella at once. She trembled as if she had regained her sanity. Delia was excited. “Dr. Parker, you’re amazing! With just five pills, Bella is about to recover!” she said in praise of Dylan, but right after she spoke, Bella suddenly trembled and started fo
After Dustin fed the nine pills to Bella, she immediately reacted. Dustin had caused Bell’s insanity. He had poisoned Bella, which was why when Dylan fed her the pills, it did not work and had instead worsened her condition. Dustin mostly used the same ingredients that Dylan had, but the effects were vastly different. Bella did not spasm, but her eyes gradually regained their clarity. “Where am I? Why am I here?” She looked around in a daze. “He cured her!” the crowd exclaimed. The famous physician, Dylan, had been unable to do anything about Bella, but Dustin had managed to cure her. A top grade physician could not even compare to a young man. Dylan’s face darkened. Dustin had cured Bella. This time, even if Dylan wanted to deny it, he could not. The witnesses here had seen for themselves all that had happened. It was really hard for him to accept the fact that he had lost. Delia was stunned. When she finally pieced everything together, she looked conflicted.
“That was the bet she made herself. I didn’t force her,” Dustin said indifferently. “If she loses, then she has to fulfill the conditions of her bet. That is the rule.” Delia gritted her teeth and felt cornered. Apologizing to Dustin felt worse than death itself. Everyone was watching her, and she could not back out of the situation. She tried to appear pitiful and cast a pleading look at the crowd. Her sorrowful gaze tugged at the hearts of many. Who would bear to see such a beautiful woman humiliated? “That’s enough! Why are you getting so hung up over this with a woman? There’s no need for it,” someone said. “That’s right. A man should be generous. There’s no need to be so hung up over this. You’ll just look petty.” Delia looked pleased. She wanted to use the public to pressure Dustin and make him a target of their scorn. “If you made a bet, then you have to be willing to fulfill the condition of that bet even if you lose!” Dustin said coldly and looked at the
“Bella, don’t tell Amara about how Dustin humiliated me.” On the way back to the Wyatt family villa, Delia pleaded with Bella. “Why not? That b*stard dared to make you apologize to him! That’s even more of a reason to tell Amara. She’ll take care of him.” Bella did not understand why Delia did not want to do that. “Amara will scold me if she finds out that I apologized to Dustin!” Delia sighed. Amara was in charge of the Wyatt family’s affairs. She did not tolerate anyone staining the Wyatt family’s reputation. “That piece of trash! One day, I’ll make him beg for forgiveness. He has to repay me a thousand times over!” Delia said viciously. Bella was silent. Delia had only gone to the clinic to treat Bella’s condition. She would not have been humiliated by Dustin if it were not for that. After a moment, Bella said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Delia. I’ll get you justice for this! That awful Dustin is nothing but a dog of the Wyatt family. He’s so bold now that it’s only a
The Yeager family members looked at each other at a loss.What the hell was the CEO doing? Everything was so elusive and confusing. They were unhappy, but they dared not show it. While they remained silent, Dustin slowly sipped his red wine, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth. “No signing,” he said indifferently. The Yeager family members looked over at him.“What did you say?!” Zack yelled at him with a dark face. Why was he speaking?Did he even have the right to speak? It was an extremely important collaboration. Even if Terry was protecting him, Zack could not care less. Dustin must be out of his mind since he dared to interrupt such an important discussion. “Shut up! This isn’t your place to speak!” Percy shouted. The Yeager family members were furious. They were afraid that Dustin’s reckless words would ruin the deal. “You think just because you say, ‘no signing,’ it’ll be done? Do you think you’re the CEO of Duscia Corporation?!” Damien yelled at him. He
“What’s going on with our great-grandfather? Dustin is not even related to our family. How can he treat him better than us?”A few members of the Yeager family stood on the side awkwardly while watching Dustin and the others chatting happily. Damien whispered in dissatisfaction. They could not bear the sight of this, and they felt very resentful.“Stop talking!” Warren snapped.“Don’t worry, he won’t remain so arrogant for long. Dad favors him. So? In this society, ability speaks louder than anything else,” Zack said in a low voice. “A man who lives off an inheritance without a proper job… even if he has some luck and inheritance, he’ll squander it away in no time. Then, he’ll struggle to get by. Dad will see the truth in time.“Besides, who knows how long Dad can stay conscious? Do you really think that kid can make Dad young again? I don’t believe in such an absurd thing.“Dad is already very old. We should just go along with this for now. They’re lucky they get to hang around
Dustin did not say anything. Terry was smart indeed. Zack and the others were blinded by the lure of great benefits. A while later, some voices were heard. It meant that the guest had arrived. Percy led Adrian inside. “Dad, this is Mr. Adrian Pierce, the general manager of Duscia Corporation. We always communicated with him about the collaboration,” said Warren as an introduction.Terry nodded, and he looked closely at Adrian. “This young man is not someone ordinary.” His eyes gleamed sharply as he recognized Adrian’s extraordinary presence. Different people, depending on their status and identity, carried themselves with different temperaments. When Terry was young, he used to work in Summerdale and meet many upper-class people. Adrian’s temperament was on par with the young heirs of Summerdale. “I’m Adrian Pierce. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Yeager.” Adrian walked to Terry and bowed respectfully.This shocked the Yeager family. Adrian had such a high status, but he
A day passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, Dustin and Patricia drove to the Yeager family villa. When they got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the Yeager family villa, they saw Percy waiting at the door. When Percy saw them, he turned livid, and his face darkened. “Uncle Percy,” said Patricia in greeting. “Hmph! So, you still recognize me as your uncle,” said Percy coldly and glared at Patricia. Patricia remained silent. Percy glanced at Dustin. His gaze shone with hatred. Patricia used to be very obedient and never dared to go against the Yeager family members. But lately, she had become so insolent even toward the patriarch of the family. Percy thought that Dustin must have led her astray. “Today, your great-grandfather invited you over for a meal. You’d better behave at the dining table and make him happy,” Percy said. “We will,” Patricia said. “Well, why are you so stubborn then? The Yeager family has agreed to let you return, yet you in
“The Tonra family sent me here to prepare to take over Hattan. We will start from the market in Hattan before we develop the market in the south. The future profits are immensely worthwhile. I’m determined to build a huge business kingdom. “Honestly, these families in Hattan are just so-so. I don’t take them seriously at all. But Duscia Corporation is fine. You just invested a hefty 2 billion right off the bat. That’s quite impressive.” Crispin smiled. “I came from the Southwestern region. I didn’t bring many workers, so we’re lacking some manpower. You’re an expert. Why don’t you work for me? I’ll make it worth your while. How about it?” He confidently offered a job to Dustin and waited for his response. Dustin stared at him calmly. “Regardless of your background, you look quite ambitious to me, but you don’t have sufficient capabilities. Hattan has limited you. If you work for me, your future will be promising!” Adrian found that amusing. Such rich spoiled brats were
Dustin observed what was going on at the front desk on the security feed on his screen. Adrian arrived at the front desk. “Mr. Pierce, you’re here.” The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back. Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian. “What a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?” Nicholas asked in displeasure. Adrian did not spare the driver a single glance. He could not be bothered to speak with an insignificant staff member. If Dustin had not given him the orders, he would have chased these two out already. “You’re the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?” Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously. “I’ve never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. You’re quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name.” Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly. “What are yo
“I find it all quite interesting. This Duscia Corporation, this fake rich kid… Let’s go take a look.” “Yes, sir.” At around 2 p.m., the Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of Duscia Corporation. The young man walked into the building with his driver. “Hello, sir. How can I help you?” the receptionist asked. “This is the son of the Tonra family of Articora. Have the person in charge of your company come and welcome him,” the driver announced loudly. “Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked with a smile. “What?” The young man, Crispin Tonra, immediately frowned. “What kind of receptionist are you? Haven’t you heard of the Tonra family of Articora? Mr. Tonra of the ultra-rich Tonra family doesn’t need an appointment to come to your company. Go and tell your boss about his arrival. Have the person in charge rush over here to welcome Mr. Tonra,” yelled the driver at the receptionist. “I’m sorry. The person in charge of our company is very busy. All guests mu
The great Dhillon family of Hattan was destroyed just like that. It was said that Kendall had become a useless cripple and would have to spend the rest of his days relegated to bed. He could not even move, and there was nothing that could be done to treat him. The other families in Hattan thought that it was the ultra-rich Cabello family of Summerdale that had done this. They were impressed at how powerful the Cabello family was and pitied the Dhillon family. It was true that one could not afford to offend a family like that. After spending a day at the hotel, Dustin took Patricia back to their apartment in the suburbs. The place had been cleaned up and was immaculate. All the damage from the fight had been fixed, and everything looked good as new. Patricia was a strong woman. Thus, she recovered from her ordeal very quickly. She even went to work right after. Dustin went to Duscia Corporation, and Adrian reported to him. “It’s impossible for the Dhillon family to mak
A life like that would be worse than anything. To put it crudely, it would be a luxury for Kendall to be able to kill himself. This was the consequence of daring to hurt Patricia. Dustin went to stand before Patricia and reached out to touch the red veil surrounding her. With a plop, the light burst like a bubble, and Patricia landed on the floor. “Dustin,” Patricia called. She threw herself into Dustin’s embrace. She cried softly as she held onto Dustin tightly. “You’re alright,” Dustin said comfortingly as he patted her on the back. Patricia did not speak. She clung to Dustin without letting go. She had just realized that she could not live without Dustin in her life. Before that moment, she had been so worried about Dustin and wanted him to leave without coming in. It would not have mattered if she had died because of it. She finally understood. She had long accepted Dustin into her heart. After a long time in Dustin’s embrace, Patricia finally cal
