The rest of them waited for an answer with bated breaths.
"She’s awake now. She should be fine after a few days‘ rest," Dustin told them.
"That’s great!‘
They all shared looks of delight and rushed in to check on Edith. As expected, they found her awake. Though a little pale, she appeared to be fine.
"Madam Edith!"
They all called out to her and pushed at each other to glimpse Edith. They began to ask her how she was feeling and if she was fine, being thoughtful and caring for her.
"Thank you, Dustin." Nikki looked at him with appreciation as she walked out of the infirmary. She had seen the entire process of how he had treated Edith, and it was amazing.
His acupuncture skills were exceptional. Though Nikki knew little about it, she could tell he was skilled.
Who would have known that Dustin would have such brilliant medical skills at such a young age? She had truly underestimated him.
"You’re welcome. Take good care of Madam Parker. I hope she remembers the kindness you’ve shown her." Dustin flashed her a gentle smile before turning to leave.
He had spent a lot of true energy treating Edith. That caused the Septemortis within him to work up even faster, so he had to return to his room to rest.
That afternoon, as Dustin was meditating, his phone suddenly rang. It was Florence.
The moment he answered the call, a loud voice began shouting at him through the phone. Rhys! You beast! What on earth have you done? Dahlia attempted suicide because of you!" "What? Suicide?"
Dustin jumped to his feet when he heard what Florence said. "How did that happen?"
"You beast! How dare you ask me how that happened? It’s all because of you, of course!" Florence shouted.
"After she met you the other night, Dahlia seemed to have lost her soul! She refused to eat or drink, and she cried endless nights! Then, this morning, she attempted suicide by jumping off the building!"
Dustin felt like he’d been struck by lightning. His mind went completely blank. Never in his wildest dreams had he ever thought that Dahlia would act so rashly!
How could she attempt suicide by jumping off a building without saying anything to anyone at all? Had she lost her mind?
"She… How is she now?" There was a tremble in Dustin’s voice.
"She’s still in a critical condition and doing horribly! Her life is in danger!
"And this is all because of you! You beast! You’re the reason Dahlia threw herself off the building!
"I’m warning you, Rhys! If anything happens to Dahlia, I’ll make you pay with your life!"
Florence swiftly ended the call after spewing threats at him.
Dustin sat there idly with his phone in his hand. When he finally snapped out of it, he dashed out the door instantly.
