Chapter: 716
"No problem. I’ll get it down right now!" Ruth took out her phone and made a call. After a moment, she answered. "My mom agreed. As long as you can treat my father, she’ll let you meet my sister."
"Deal!" Dustin sprung up and got into the Bentley to accompany Ruth back to the Harmon estate. He has been feeling anxious for the past few days. Now, they could finally meet again.
At noon, Dustin sat in Ruth’s car, and the two of them arrived at the Harmon estate with ease.
As one of the Fabulous Five, the Harmon family’s headquarters were luxurious. It had a man–made lake, a garden with artificial hills, farms, wineries, and numerous magnificent villas.
Hundreds of guards patrolled the perimeters, and dozens of staff worked there, fully demonstrating the power of an aristocratic family.
Staring at the garden, Dustin pondered about the annual family gathering happening tomorrow.
"We’re here."
The silver Bentley slowly pulled into the entrance of the main villa. As soon as they got out of the car, they spotted Jessica and two servants waiting for them at the entrance.
"You’re here." Jessica gave Dustin a lock over and asked cooly, "Yesterday, you said that my husband was poisoned by mystic poison. Is that true?"
"You wouldn’t have looked for me if it weren’t," Dustin answered, making Jessica narrow her eyes.
She would never have sought him out if her husband, Hector, hadn’t succumbed to the odd illness. Even the doctors in their family couldn’t find the cause of the problem.
"Let me ask you again. Are you sure you can cure him?" Jessica asked again.
"I’m not sure. That depends on the severity of his sickness. If it hasn’t progressed too far, it’ll be easy to treat but it’ll be hard if it has." Dustin didn’t promise her anything.
"Follow me." Jessica frowned and spun around to lead the way.
Dustin and Ruth quickly followed her, and they soon arrived at a ward full of medical equipment. Many specialists were gathered there as they tried to come up with a treatment plan while Hector lay unconscious on the bed. His once charming face had turned blue, and his lips had turned a shade of purple from the powerful poison.
Dustin approached the bed and took Hector’s pulse before checking his eyes and mouth. He was now sure that Hector had been poisoned by incredibly potent poison.
"Dustin, how’s my dad? Can you treat him?" Ruth asked tentatively.
"It’s a little tricky, but I can try." Dustin answered after thinking about it.
"Try?" Jessica frowned. "This is his life we’re talking about, and you’re telling me you’ll try? Are you joking?"
"Mrs. Harmon, this isn’t any regular poison. We’ll have to take a risk if we want to save him." Dustin explained. With how serious Hector’s condition was, it’d be a miracle if they could even save his life.
