NovelEnglishChapter 2224 "Are you telling us to leave?" Grace asked.
She narrowed her eyes and added, "We're here to save Alicia, yet you're trying to drive us away. What's the matter? Don't you want her to wake up?" "Ridiculous!" Brian scowled. "I'm her senior. Of course, I want her to wake up." "Then, why are you stopping us from treating her?" she countered.
"Because I don't trust you!" he asserted. "Who knows what your intentions are? What if you make her condition worse?" "If I'm not confident, I won't do it," Dustin chimed in abruptly.
"Do you hear that? Regardless, let us diagnose Alicia first," Grace insisted.
"No! The miracle doctor I've called will be here soon. Your help isn't necessary!" Brian rejected them firmly. "Aurora, what do you think?" Grace stopped arguing with Brian and turned toward Aurora instead.
As Alicia's younger sister, Aurora had absolute authority in this situation. If she agreed, Grace would take action and disregard Brian's objections.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"How about... we let Dr. Rhys treat Alicia first, Brian?" Aurora paused briefly but ultimately chose to trust Grace. The miracle doctor Brian had arranged hadn't shown up yet, and Alicia's condition was deteriorating rapidly. If they delayed any longer, who knew what consequences it might bring? 1 Now, she could only hope for a miracle.
"Aurora, you're so foolish!" Brian snapped. "The martial world is dangerous, and people may have hidden motives. What if they're out to harm Alicia? We can't take that chance!" "But Alicia's life is hanging by a thread. If we keep stalling and something goes wrong, who's going to shoulder the blame?" she countered.
"Well..." Brian hesitated.
"How about we wait for another five minutes? If your miracle doctor hasn't arrived by then, let Dr. Rhys treat Alicia. How does that sound?" Aurora asked, offering a compromise.
The five-minute window was her way of giving Brian an alternative. Ideally, Kenan would arrive within that time. But if not, Dustin would be her choice.
"Okay. We'll wait five minutes!" Brian glanced at his watch and reluctantly nodded.
With the discussion reaching this point, he realized he couldn't keep stalling without causing misunderstandings. Five minutes later, he couldn't shake off his growing anxiety when Kenan hadn't arrived.
"What's taking Dr. Quake so long? Where is he?" Brian frowned and peered out the doorway.
"Mr. Stern, time's up. Since your requested doctor isn't here, let's leave it to Dr. Rhys." Without waiting for Brian's response, Grace winked at Dustin.
Dustin got the hint and approached the bed to diagnose Alicia.
Brian's expression darkened, but he said nothing.
"Hmm?" Dustin frowned after diagnosing Alicia.
His reaction made Grace somewhat nervous. "How is she? What's wrong with Alicia?" she asked cautiously. "She's not sick, but she's been poisoned," he replied gravely.
"Poisoned?" Grace was taken aback. She immediately turned toward Aurora. "Has Alicia eaten anything unusual recently while you two were near Sacred Wrym Summit?" "We've been wandering around Sacred Wrym Summit for the past few days, eating and sleeping together. Nothing unusual happened." Aurora shook her head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey had been sharing the sfood. So, if Alicia had been poisoned, Aurora would have been affected too.
"Poisoning isn't just about what you eat. Insect bites, unusual scents, and even contact with certain individuals can all lead to poisoning," Dustin added. A poison expert didn't just target food. They would use all sorts of sneaky methods that were hard to guard against.
"I don't understand any of this. My only concern is whether you can cure my sister," Aurora said anxiously.
"The poison in your sister's system is pretty unique. I can treat it, but I'll need stto prepare the antidote," Dustin replied.
"How long will it take?" she asked.
"Two days," he stated.
"Two days?" Aurora frowned. "Given my sister's current condition, I'm afraid she might not last that long." "Don't worry. While I can't make your sister wake up immediately, I can keep her alive for the tbeing."
With a flick of his wrist, Dustin sent a series of silver needles shooting out from his sleeve Each needle was aimed at the vital pressure point on Alicia's body. As the silver needles spun wildly, wisps of mystical pure energy swiftly flowed into Alicia's circulatory pathways to keep her alive.
"I'm using the ethereal resurgence technique with these needles As long as they remain in place, Alicia will be safe for three days," Dustin explained. "Is it that impressive?" Aurora raised an eyebrow. "What if the needles are removed?" i She'll die within three hours," Dustin stated bluntly.
