Chapter: 488
“Just look at his behavior. What if he makes things worse? Will anyone take the responsibility?”
“That works. I have no intention to cure you either,” Dustin said in an unperturbed manner.
“Oh, by the way, do not forget what I told you before–headaches on the first day, coughing up blood on the second day, and paralysis on the third day. You’ll suffer a sudden death on the fourth day. Since today is the second day, it will not take long before you start coughing up blood. By that time, you’ll have to leave your fate in the hands of God.”
“Y–y–you’re a jinx! Quit the nonsense! As Jane trembled in anger, her headache worsened as well.
“See? Did you hear him? How dare he curse my mom! This is an order–get him arrested! If you don’t. I’ll hold you accountable! Dakota started ordering people around. Florence’s face fell, and she yelled at Dustin,” Dustin Rhys! Apologize to them now! If you don’t, I will not go easy on you!”
“Apologize to them? They don’t deserve it.” Dustin chortled.
“If anything, they should be apologizing to me. It they do that, I might consider saving the mother.”
“Bullshit! Who do you think you are? You aren’t qualified to treat my mom!”
“Yeah! With our status, we can hire any skilled doctors we want! We don’t need you showing off here!”
Jane and Dakota were being stubborn. In their eyes, an ordinary man like Dustin had no business attending to their medical needs.
“Hah! Sure, keep being stubborn, I do hope you don’t have to beg me in the end.” Dustin chuckled with a shake of his head.
“Beg you? What a joke!” Jane sneered.
“Look, even if I am suffering from a horrible headache or in so much pain to the point of jumping off a building. I still wouldn’t give in to you!”
“Okay. We shall see.” Without further ado, Dustin took leave. Dahlia frowned at his exit, but after a moment of hesitation, she ran after him.
After they left, James brought in an old man dressed in a cloak and dashed into the bedroom.
“Mom! The skilled doctor you asked for is here!”
“The skilled doctor? Where is he?” Florence asked in a hurry.
James jumped aside and presented the old man in a cloak, introducing him, “This is Dr. Fenton Reyes from Bloomington Medical Center in Stonia. He’s a veteran in his field and had ancestors who were royal physicians! No doubt, his skills are legendary!”
“Royal physicians?”
Florence, Jane, and Dakota were delighted by the doctor’s presence. They could tell that he came from an impressive background just from how James described him. Jane and Dakota believed they deserved the best. such as seeing a skilled doctor like Fenton Reyes.
“James. Dr. Reyes is a legend in Stonia. How did you get him to show up?” Florence asked curiously.
James smiled.
“Well, it wasn’t me. It was Mr. Langford who arranged for Dr. Reyes to see Aunt Jane.”
“Mr. Langford?” Florence’s eyes lit up upon hearing the name.
Luis Langford was an aristocrat from Stonia who wielded great wealth and influence. He was also well- connected in the military and the government. More importantly, the Langford family was a close friend of the Nicholson family of Glenstead, Morcover, the Glenstead Nicholsons were greatly interested in an arranged marriage between Luis and Dahlia. In other words, if Dahlia was willing, she could marry into the wealthy Langford family in no time, elevating the entire family to greater heights!
