Everyone watched wide–eyed as Dustin administered the fiery beetle.
The moment it entered Sheila's body, the effect was immediate. The cold a
ir around her began to dissipate, and in less than three minutes, her bod
y had gone from icy cold to being at a regular temperature.
She gained color in her cheeks, and her breathing steadied.
Then, under the disbelieving gaze of the crowd, she whimpered and came ar
ound.
"She's awake?" Astonishment was evident on the crowd's faces.
The fact that a rascal like Dustin was able to cure Sheila of her conditi
on when even Dr. Shane was unable to was beyond them.
It was shocking indeed!
"H–How is this possible?" Xavier's eyes widened, bewildered.
How could an unknown doctor possess such skills?
"How did he do it?" Claudia was equally amazed and terrified.
She struggled to come to terms with how something she had always thought
was evil had healing properties.
"I never knew that the mystic arts had such amazing effects!" Malcolm's e
yes lit up as he marveled at Dustin's skills.
His unconventional means of healing were undoubtedly a groundbreaker.
Malcolm, who had initially thought that he no longer had any room for imp
rovement in the medical field, finally found new hope.
"Sheila! How are you feeling? Are you experiencing any discomfort?" Caden
and Lily were both happily surprised.
They had not held high hopes, to begin with, and they were more than plea
sed to be met with such a miracle.
"Dad, Mom How weird. I no longer feel the coldness within me. It's as tho
ugh it has vanished!" Sheila patted herself all over, a surprised express
ion on her face. She had never felt so warm before.
"That's great! That's absolutely great! Thank you, thank you so much for
saving her!" Lily was so ecstatic that she was about to bow to Dustin to
thank him.
"Mrs. Murray, please, there is no need to bow!" Dustin reached out to hol
d her up. He was not used to such unbridled expressions of gratitude.
"Was it you who saved me, kind sir?" Sheila was delighted to see Dustin.
It had just been a day, and they had met again! Was it not fate?
"Sheila, it's all thanks to Mr. Rhys here that you're still alive! If not
for him, you might very well still be unconscious," Lily remarked.
"Thank you, kind sir!" Sheila bowed deeply.
"You're welcome. After all, I get paid for saving you." Dustin smiled.
"So is my daughter completely cured, young man?" Caden asked cautiously.
He had consulted many experienced and well–
known doctors regarding Sheila's condition, and all of them had expressed
that the condition could only be suppressed, not completely eradicated.
So he had to be sure.
"I wouldn't say that she's completely cured of it, but she won't be bothe
red by it for the next 10 years," Dustin guaranteed.
"Why is it only for 10 years? Can't you get rid of it completely?" Caden
frowned.
"It's Polarfrost. It can't be eliminated so easily. Unless you are able t
o get some extremely rare herbs that can improve her circulation and meta
bolism, the only solution is to use the fiery beetle to extend her life,
and a fiery beetle only has a lifespan of ten years," Dustin clarified.
"10 years is good enough. At least it will give us more time to find othe
r means of solution." Lily smiled.
It was already a pleasant surprise that her daughter's life had been prol
onged by 10 years. She dared not ask for much more.
"Mr. Murray, now that your daughter's life is not on the line, is it time
you deliver your end of the deal?" Dustin went straight to the point.
"It's the Gozoraberry you're after, isn't it? Please proceed to the loung
e. I'll be there in a while," Caden said lightly.
