Chapter: 82
“Terminally ill? Ha! What nonsense!”
Duane chuckled coldly.
“Young man, don’t you know that I’ve led an active lifestyle since I was young? My body is very strong. Besides, I take a lot of supplements. I’m basically invincible to any disease! How dare you say I’m terminally ill? What a joke!”
“You’re only healthy physically. The real disease is internal. Also, you should stop taking those supplements as they would only make your condition worse. Once it breaks out, there will be no turning back!” Dustin warned.
“What a load of bullshit! I’ve been taking those supplements since I was young and nothing has happened in 40 years. Now you’re telling me they don’t work?” Duane was very unhappy about this.
“I’m just warning you. If you continue, you will have a thyroid infection in three days!” Dustin advised.
“You’re not fooling me! I’ve encountered a lot of scammers like you!” Duane said disdainfully.
“Mr. Welch, Dustin is a skilled doctor. You better not take his words lightly.” Natasha reminded him gently.
“Natasha, I think you have been scammed. I know my body well. I’m not sick at all. He’s just trying to scare us!”
“Since you don’t believe it, why don’t we make a bet?”
“What is at stake?”
“It’s simple. If your disease breaks out within three days, you have to let Dustin pick anything from your collection of valuable herbs!”
“Alright! But what if I’m fine?”
“If you’re fine, you can come to the Harmon family’s treasury and pick any three items!” Natasha offered boldly.
“You stated the rules. Since you’re being so generous, I won’t hold back!” Duane chuckled.
Everything in the Harmon family’s treasury was an extraordinary item. Any three would be a rare collector’s item.
“Mr. Welch, a word of advice, it’s best if you don’t leave Swinton in these three days. If anything happens, I can still save you in time,” Dustin advised.
“What a joke! Who am I? Do I need you to save me? Even if I were sick, I would never ask you to treat me!”
Duane said contemptuously. He wouldn’t even bother talking with this scammer if it weren’t for the Harmon family.
“There’s no point in saying more. The truth will prevail” Dustin smiled faintly without saying another word. He just hoped Duane’s rare herbs collection would have what he needed.
“Mr. Harmon, I have to attend something else. Please, excuse me.”
After a few exchanges, Duane got ready to leave. He had come because of a renowned doctor. He wouldn’t stay long since it was just a sham.
“Mr. Welch, I suggest you listen to Mr. Rhys‘ advice and stay around Swinton for these few days to avoid anything.” Natasha kindly reminded him.
“Natasha, you don’t have to worry about me. You should worry about yourself,” Duane piped up thoughtfully.
“I remember your engagement to Tyler Grant is imminent. I don’t think a man like him would like it if you were too close to other men.”
