An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1295
âWhat?â Dustinâs sudden words grabbed everyoneâs attention. âWhere did you come from, kid? Do you even have a say here?â Ziggy didnât seem pleased.
âIâm a new doctor from Harmony Healers,â Dustin calmly explained. âYou just said if I heal your injury, you wonât ask for compensation. So, I want to give it a try.â
âGive it a try? You?â Ziggy laughed, thinking that Dustin was rather foolish. He thought, âThis guy doesnât even know what heâs getting into.â
âHey! Itâs not up to you. My grandpa hasnât made a decision yet. You canât decide for him!â Harperâs expression hardened, venting her frustrations on Dustin.
âIf you donât want to settle it through Harmony Healers, then the only option is to treat the injury. Thereâs no other choice,â Dustin said calmly.
âWho do you think you are? You think you can heal it just by saying so?â Harper was displeased by a country doctor acting arrogant at Harmony Healers.
âKid, youâre new here and inexperienced. Itâs not as simple as you think. Donât interfere,â Cody advised. He assumed Dustin was just an apprentice at Harmony Healers and shouldnât speak in this situation.
âYou have better ideas?â Dustin shot back.
âIâ¦â Harper struggled for words while Cody looked hostilely at Dustin. It took courage for an apprentice to talk back to Cody.
âKid, I admire your courage, but this decision is on Dr. Busch,â Ziggy sneered and looked at Brooke. Zion pressured, âDr. Busch, treatment or compensation?â
âWellâ¦â Brooke frowned, clearly uncomfortable in the current situation. With Zionâs pressure and Codyâs lack of influence, the only choice was to treat Ziggyâs minor skin injury. But Brooke suspected it might be a trap.
âDr. Busch, itâs just a minor skin injury -no need for your intervention. I can handle it.â Dustin asserted.
âHandle it? Seriously?â Cody scoffed. âI canât even treat this type of injury, and you, an apprentice, dare to boast?â
âYouâre just here to cause trouble at Harmony Healers!â Harper fumed. âThis kid has no sense of place. He thinks he can take charge and give orders before Dr. Busch has spoken. How bold!â
The Harmony Healersâ apprentices couldnât stop murmuring. Even a fool could see that Ziggy and his group were deliberately causing trouble. Accepting their conditions was just walking into a trap.
âDustin, do you really believe you can ⦠do it?â Brooke asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. Others might have doubted it, but Brooke felt that he could trust Dustin.
âI canât say Iâm a hundred percent sure, but Iâm pretty confident,â Dustin nodded. He needed to ensure Cinna would stay with them for a while, and Harmony Healers couldnât be sold now.
âGreat! Since Dustin is so confident, Iâll bet the whole of Harmony Healers on him and trust him this one time!â Brooke declared.
His statement stirred up a commotion in the room.
âGrandpa, are you crazy? Do you actually trust him?
âHeâs just a con artist with no real skills!â Harper was frantic. âMaster Brooke! Your decision is going to ruin Harmony Healers!â Cody was equally agitated.
