“Your safety is at stake if I don’t return, “Dustin said as he shot another silver needle. Caden was still struggling, but this time, the needle rendered him completely immobile.
“Dustin, don’t you have medical skills? Please help my husband,” Lily pleaded. “I’m sorry, but my medical knowledge is limited compared to Mr. Saunders’.
You should seek his treatment.”
Lily glanced at Rudolph’s lifeless body in the corner and sighed. She knew Rudolph wouldn’t have died if he could cure her husband. Then, she added, “I apologize for offending you earlier. You’re our only hope now that Mr. Saunders is dead.”
Sheila also pleaded, “Dustin, my father has lost his sanity. Please, save him.”
“Okay, I’ll do my best to help you.” Dustin felt indebted to Christopher, so he couldn’t refuse to help his family.
“Thank you.” Sheila expressed her gratitude. But Jayden voiced his concern, “Aunt Lily, are you sure about letting him treat Uncle Caden? Even Mr. Saunders couldn’t do it. Can we trust this punk?”
“Yeah, he’s right! We can’t risk Uncle Caden’s life with this guy’s unproven skills,” Vivian chimed in. Evan added, “I’m worried too. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?”
“Caden’s condition has worsened. We can’t delay his treatment any longer. Let Dustin give it a shot,” Lily asserted.
Jayden persisted, “Aunt Lily, please don’t take chances with Uncle Caden’s life. Even the doctors from Kimboku and Dragonmarsh couldn’t treat him. What makes you believe this punk can?”
“After all that talk, do you have a better solution?” Lily asked with a frown. When no one responded, she snapped, ” If you don’t, then zip it.”
Afterward, she turned to Dustin and said, “Dustin, please proceed with the treatment.” “Before I start, I’d like unrelated people to leave the room.” Dustin looked at Vivian and the others. “Yes, everyone, please leave. And that includes you.”
“What? You want us to leave?” Vivian was furious. “Who do you think you are, ordering us around? You shameless brat!”
“I agree with Dustin. Do you have a problem with that?” Lily said coldly. Vivian didn’t know how to respond, and her face stiffened.
“Fine, we’ll step out first. Let’s see what this punk can do!” Jayden said.
“Rhys, you better cure Uncle Caden. Or suffer the consequences!” Vivan warned before she left. Evan and the others exited the room, their pride stung from being asked to leave by an insurance agent.
