An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1280
“This miracle doctor has hit the big time. He actually saved Ms. Welch. How lucky!” The onlookers were envious to see the million dollars check. That amount of money was enough for them to retire.
“Fuck!” Caldwell gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. This windfall of money should have been his. Who would have thought Dustin would take it away from him? This swindler ruined his shot at fame and riches.
“Thanks.” Dustin accepted the check readily. He may not have saved Eleanor for money, but he wouldn’t refuse it since they offered it.
“Doctor Rhys, I still have other matters to attend to. See you soon!
“Come to me for help if you ever end up in a ditch.” Eleanor left quickly after saying that. She had just been rescued from the lake, and she looked terrible. She needed to freshen up.
“Hey!” Suddenly, the head bodyguard turned to Caldwell with a scowl. He said, “Didn’t you say you’d eat the vomit if Doctor Rhys could save Ms. Welch in three jabs? Well, you can eat now!”
“What?” Caldwell was dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the ground and stared at the vomit. Eleanor puked her guts out, and even a dead fish was in the sticky mess. How would he ever stomach it?
“Eat now!” The head bodyguard glared at him with murderous intent. The bodyguards behind him slowly closed in with a deadly glare; they were ready to pounce. Should Caldwell object, they would give him a good beating.
“Fine… I’ll eat it…” Caldwell had no choice. With a troubled expression, he could only gulp down the vomit on the ground. Caldwell licked the last drop off the ground. He was so disgusted that he gagged a few times but forced it down. They would force it down his throat anyway if he puked it out.
“Hmph! Consider yourself lucky because Doctor Rhys saved you. “If not, I would have chopped you into pieces!” The head bodyguard kicked Caldwell before leaving with his team. Harmony Healers got lucky this time.
“Miracle doctor! You’re so amazing! You actually revived the dead? That was so cool!”
“Young man, by any chance, are you the real disciple of Dr. Busch? If not, how are you so well-versed in medicine?”
“That’s right! That must be it. This miracle doctor must be the real successor of Dr. Busch. The other guy must be a fake!”
When the bodyguards left, the onlookers immediately surrounded Dustin and began showering him with enthusiastic praises. As for Caldwell, he was cast aside with cold glances.
“Fuck!” Caldwell gritted his teeth with hatred. He was rightfully the successor of Brooke Busch. Why was that guy more popular than he was?
“Miracle doctor, you’re so skilled. How about you treat my sickness? My back is hurting badly.”
“Hey, old woman, wait your turn! I was obviously here first.”
“My illness is more serious. Could you please let me see him first?”
“I have a heart issue and can’t take any excitement. According to what you say, I would be lying on the ground now.”
The onlookers talked incessantly as they all requested Dustin to treat their sickness. They saw what he did for Eleanor and were confident in his skills.
“Well…” Dustin felt a headache coming as he looked at the overzealous onlookers. He didn’t think he would get into so much trouble for saving a person.
“What happened?” Suddenly, an old man in a long, flowing robe with a white beard and hair walked through the door.
Even though he was advanced in years, he was tall, sturdy, and had spirited eyes. He looked high and mighty and may come off as unfriendly. This old man was the chief doctor of Harmony Healers, Brooke Busch!
