Chapter 447 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âYou agree, then?â Peter regarded Dustin disdainfully with his arms folded.
âOf course.â Dustin nodded. âSince you look so confident. Iâm curious to see how good you are. However, I hope you donât regret your promise later.â
âGood. Iâll show you how lacking your traditional medicine is compared to modern medicine!â Peter smirked smugly. He pulled a vial of green liquid from his case and explained. âSee this? This is the newest antidote my
team developed. Within thirty minutes, the patient will wake up again.â
âGood luck.â Dustinâs response was simple.
âLook closely. This is the power of science!â Peter exclaimed before slowly injecting the green drug into
Hectorâs body.
After ten minutes, the unconscious man began to react. Sweat beaded Hectorâs forehead, his limbs began warming up, and the blue discoloration in his skin began to recede as his condition began to improve.
âItâs working! Itâs working!â
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.
âDo you see this, Rhys? This is Dr. Peterâs skills. One vial was enough to deal with a complicated issue your couldnât deal with!â Quentin grinned.
âThatâs just a temporary fix. It wonât fix the root cause.â Dustin replied indifferently.
âYou sure are as stubborn as a mule!â Quentin humphed.
âWestern medicine is all about science while traditional medicine is nothing but tricks. How could you ever win?â Peter grinned smugly.
âYouâre incredible, Dr. Peter!â Jessica praised.
âWhat do you think, Jessica? The person I asked for help is good, isnât he?â Trent smiled softly.
âThank you so much, Trent. I donât know what Iâd do without you.â Jessica lowered her head.
âDonât mention it. Weâre a family, after all.â Trent waved her off. âThe 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.â
âI will.â Jessica nodded her head.
âHey, Rhys! Itâs time to keep up your end of the bargain!â Quentin yelled. âFrom today onwards, youâre a liar who canât ever practice medicine again. Got it?â
Wed
donât know who the winner is yet. Arenât you speaking too soon?â Dustin retorted.
âJust look at the evidence. Are you trying to go back on your word?â Quentin sniggered.
âOpen your goddamn eyes and see how your uncle is doing.â Dustin gestured with his chin.

âHuh?â
Quentin turned around to see that Hectorâs condition had worsened. His skin, which had seen some improvement earlier, had turned blue once more.
âWhy is this happening? Hasnât he been cured?â Quentin paled.
âDr. Peter, whatâs happening?â Jessica frowned, her earlier happiness quickly turning back to worry.
âThatâs odd. He was fine just now.â Peter noted, puzzled. âMaybe the dosage was too low. Let me inject another vial.â He pulled out another vial from his case and administered the drug once more.
The results were the same. After a temporary improvement, Hectorâs skin and lips would turn blue and purple. and his limbs would turn stiff again. Instead of improving, his condition seemed to worsen further. âDr. Peter, didnât you say that everything was fine? Why is this happening?â
