An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1279
“Ugh…” Eleanor sat up right away and let out a breathless groan. After that, she started heaving as if she had just been given a second chance at life, greedily taking in the air around her. Her pale face gradually took on a rosy color.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone. No one thought Ms. Welch, who was dead, would suddenly come alive. “She’s … awake? Is she a zombie?”
“My goodness! Did he revive the dead? Is this for real?”
“Miracle doctor! He’s a miracle doctor! The onlookers looked at each other in surprise. They had never witnessed anything like this, even if they had seen and heard it all..
Eleanor was already dead. She was no longer breathing, and her heart had already stopped beating. But Eleanor came back to life after Dustin gave her three jabs. They had never heard of a miracle like this. Right then, everyone looked at Dustin with a different perspective.
“It-it’s impossible!”
“She was already dead! How did he revive her?” Caldwell was shocked to the core. His eyes were wide in shock; he couldn’t believe what he saw. Dustin accomplished this impossible task in just three jabs! How was he this incredible?
“She’s alive! Ms. Welch is alive!” The bodyguards of the Welch family were first stunned. Their shock then became joy as they cheered happily.
If Eleanor really died, they would have to carry the blame. They were relieved now that Eleanor had survived.
“Ms. Welch! How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?” The head bodyguard was quickly by her side to check if she was alright.
“What happened? Why am I here?” Eleanor looked around in a daze. Her last memory was her crashing into the lake before she became unconscious. When she woke up, was already surrounded by a crowd. she “Ms. Welch, you drowned.” The head bodyguard gave her a quick rundown of what happened without hiding the truth.
After listening to the incident, Eleanor looked around, and her gaze finally stopped on Caldwell. She asked hesitatingly, “So, this doctor from Harmony Healers saved me?”
“Hmph! He did nothing!” The head. bodyguard glared at Caldwell. He then gestured toward Dustin and explained, “It was this doctor who saved you.”
“Is that so?” Eleanor turned to look at Dustin, and she nodded with a smile. “Thank you so much for saving my life, doctor. I am forever grateful to you.”
“You’re most welcome, Ms. Welch. It was just a simple gesture.” Dustin appeared calm. Eleanor was a little surprised at his laid -back reaction. Normally, most people would be thrilled to see her. They would flatter her and go out of their way to please her.
This person before her was different. He wasn’t even the slightest bit excited, as if he didn’t care. Was he playing hard to get? “Doctor, could you please tell me your name?” Eleanor asked suddenly.
“Dustin Rhys.”
“Dustin Rhys, is that correct? Alright, I’ll remember you. If you need any help, you can come to me.” Eleanor smiled.
“Doctor Rhys, I’m sorry I was rude to you earlier. Please forgive me.” The head bodyguard lowered his head and apologized.
“It’s alright. You were just trying to protect her.” Dustin didn’t take it personally. “Thank you for being so kind and generous.” As the head bodyguard spoke, he took out a check for a million dollars and gave it to Dustin.
“This is a small token of appreciation from the Welch family. Please accept it, Doctor Rhys.”
“Wow! A check for a million dollars! The Welch family is extremely generous!”
“Bullshit! Ms. Welch is very precious to her family. She’s worth more than one million!”
