Chapter 267 You're a Swindler

The Understated Dragon Lord

As the medicine was injected into his vein, Liam's body jerked, and then he started to foam at the

mouth, resembling someone who had been poisoned. Before anyone could react, his breathing

halted abruptly.

Was he dead?

Had Liam died?

Gabriel was flabbergasted. "How could he be dead?" he wondered, puzzled. After all, administering

adrenaline was standard practice for such a patient, the appropriate response without a doubt. The

injection was supposed to revive Liam almost instantly. Instead of waking up, however, he appeared

lifeless.

"Dad! Dad, wake up!" Abigail called out, shaking Liam's body, trying to rouse him. But no matter

how much she shook him, there was no response from her father.

Gabriel organized his thoughts and then reluctantly stepped forward to broach the subject. "Abigail,

I'm sorry! I did everything I could, but we were too late. There was nothing more we could do to

save your father," he said, his demeanor regretful. Suddenly remembering Daniel’s earlier warning,

Gabriel spun around and pointed accusingly at him.

"Abigail, if you want someone to blame, blame him! This charlatan argued with me and delayed the

emergency response. Moreover, he cursed Liam, claiming the adrenaline shot would kill him. So,

Liam's misfortune is not due to a failure in my medical abilities or treatment approach, but because

of this swindler! He is the one who killed Liam!"

Gabriel's baseless accusation stunned Daniel.

Stepping forward, Daniel responded calmly with a smile. "Gabriel, this is our first encounter. How

can you make such accusations against me? Do you really think this is my fault?"

"Accusation? I'm merely stating the facts. Liam's death is on your hands - that's the undeniable

truth."

"You're saying Liam is dead?"

Daniel's query perplexed Gabriel. "Of course, he’s dead! His pulse is gone, there's no heartbeat,

he's obviously dead."

"He's not dead."

Daniel’s statement rekindled a glimmer of hope in Abigail, who had been wailing by her father's

side. She stopped crying, her large eyes wide with anticipation as she asked Daniel, "What did you

say? You're saying my dad isn't dead?"

"Um-hmm," Daniel nodded seriously. "Though it looks like your dad might be dead, he's indeed

alive. However, only I can revive him."

Gabriel burst into laughter at Daniel's audacious claim. "Hahaha... You swindler, you don't even

bother to make up a plausible lie. Liam is dead, all the instruments show zeroes – that signifies

death. Saying he's still alive is nonsense. Besides, you're nothing more than a barefoot doctor, a

swindler! You think you can bring Liam back to life? Resurrect a dead man? What joke is this?

Abigail, don’t believe a word from this liar – he cannot save Liam!" Gabriel sputtered with scornful

disbelief.
