Chapter 447


    “You agree, then?” Peter regarded Dustin disdainfully with his arms folded.


    “Of course.” Dustin


    nodded. “Since you look so confident. I’m curious to see how good you are. However, I


    hope you don’t regret your promiseter.”


    “Good. I’ll show you howcking your traditional medicine ispared to modern medicine!” Peter smir


    ked smugly. He pulled a vial of green liquid from his case and exined. “See this? This is the newest


    antidote my


    team developed. Within thirty minutes, the patient will wake up again.”


    “Good luck.” Dustin’s response was simple.


    “Look closely. This is the power of science!” Peter eximed before slowly injecting the green drug into


    Hector’s body.


    After ten minutes, the unconscious man began to react. Sweat beaded Hector’s forehead, his limbs

    began warming up, and the blue discoloration in his skin began to recede as his condition began to im


    prove.


    “It’s working! It’s working!”


    Jessica and Ruth were over the moon to see the changes.


    As


    expected of a leading medical professor from abroad, the effects of such a small action were amazing.


    “Do you see this, Rhys? This is Dr. Peter’s skills. One vial was enough to deal with aplicated issue


    your couldn’t deal with!” Quentin grinned.


    “That’s just a temporary fix. It won’t fix the root cause.” Dustin replied indifferently.


    “You sure are as stubborn as a mule!” Quentin humphed.


    “Western medicine is all about science while


    traditional medicine is nothing but tricks. How could you ever win?” Peter grinned smugly.


    “You’re incredible, Dr. Peter!” Jessica praised.


    “What do you think, Jessica? The person I asked for help is good, isn’t he?” Trent smiled softly.


    “Thank you so much, Trent. I don’t know what I’d do without you.” Jessica lowered her head.


    “Don’t mention it. We’re a family, after all.” Trent waved her off.


    “The annual family gathering is tomorrow. As the head of the family, Hector will have to host the event,


    so make sure he takes care of himself.”


    “I will.” Jessica nodded her head.


    “Hey, Rhys! It’s time to keep up your end of the bargain!” Quentin yelled. “From today onwards, you’re


    a liar who can’t ever practice medicine again. Got it?”


    Wed


    don’t know who the winner is yet. Aren’t you speaking too soon?” Dustin retorted.


    “Just look at the evidence. Are you trying to go back on your word?” Quentin sniggered.


    “Open your goddamn eyes and see how your uncle is doing.” Dustin gestured with his chin.


    “Huh?”


    Quentin turned around to see that Hector’s condition had worsened. His skin, which had seen some im


    provement earlier, had turned blue once more.


    “Why is this happening? Hasn’t he been cured?” Quentin paled.


    “Dr. Peter, what’s happening?” Jessica frowned, her earlier happiness quickly turning back to worry.


    “That’s odd. He was fine just now.” Peter noted, puzzled. “Maybe the dosage was too low. Let me inject


    another vial.” He pulled out another vial from his case and administered the drug once more.


    The results were the same. After a temporary improvement, Hector’s skin and lips would turn blue and


    purple. and his limbs would turn stiff again. Instead of improving, his condition seemed to worsen furthe


    r. “Dr. Peter, didn’t you say that everything was fine? Why is this happening?”
