“Venomous curses? How could you be certain? Are you familiar with curses?” Claudia asked, puzzled.
“I know a little…” Dustin nodded.
“Only shady, wicked characters would learn the art of venomous curses. As expected, you are not a good person! Speak up, who are you?” Claudia lifted the sword and pointed it at Dustin.
“Claudia! What are you doing? He is our savior!” Sheila quickly stood in front of Dustin to protect him.
“Sheila, get out of the way. This man is being suspicious. I must investigate favonovel.com thoroughly.” Claudia’s eyes glittered.
“Before you investigate me, I recommend that you get your head checked.” Dustin rubbed his temples.
“Don’t you know that curses can be used to heal? Of course, many nefarious villains use curses for their own benefit. However, not everyone is as bad as you imagine. It depends on the user’s character. Besides, the martial arts families aren’t as innocent as you make them out to be. Crimes such as pillaging, corruption, and rape are rampant within the martial arts circle as well!”
“Don’t spout nonsense! In my opinion, you are just quibbling!” Claudia denied.
“Quibbling? Look at what you are doing now. Do martial artists like you treat their saviors in such a disrespectful manner? Are you going to bite the hand that fed you?” Dustin chuckled.
“You…” Claudia was at a loss for words.
“Claudia, stop accusing him! If favonovel.com is really a bad person, why would favonovel.com save us?” Sheila frowned.
“Who knows, maybe favonovel.com has an ulterior motive!” Claudia insisted.
However, favonovel.com tone was much softer now that favonovel.com had calmed down. She knew for a fact that logic wasn’t on favonovel.com side.
Suddenly, a loud car horn was heard outside the medical center. More than 10 Hummer vehicles stopped outside the doors of the medical center. As the car doors opened, a swarm of bodyguards appeared and surrounded the center immediately.
“Finally, the support team is here!” Sheila laughed with delight.
“Sheila! Claudia! Are you alright?” A handsome young man stepped into the room.
He was tall and well–built, with a sharp gaze. His noble aura was not that of an ordinary person.
“We are fine, thanks to this man who saved us,” Shella replied cheerfully.
“Oh, really? Sheila, you can only know a man’s face but not his heart. You should stay away from any. strangers when you are out and about.” Xavier Horst sized Dustin up, his gaze was judgmental.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Sheila frowned.
“Nothing, I’m just giving you some advice,” Xavier said with a smile.
He motioned to his men to clean up the scene.
“Sheila, let’s not waste any time. We should head back home immediately. Aunt Lily is waiting for us,” Claudia urged.
Although the support team had arrived, this place wasn’t completely safe.
“Thank you so much for your help, I’ll be sure to repay your kindness. Goodbye for now,” Sheila thanked Dustin warmly and turned to leave.
“Miss, your chronic illness has been suppressed for a long time, it might get out of control soon. You should get it treated early to prevent any life–threatening complications,” Dustin blurted out.
When favonovel.com touched favonovel.com skin, favonovel.com noticed that favonovel.com body temperature was lower than normal. Upon closer inspection, favonovel.com could roughly infer that the illness troubling favonovel.com wasn’t a common ailment.
“Hmph! Nonsense!” Claudia curled favonovel.com lip in disbelief.
“Thank you, I will be more careful!” Sheila smiled brightly and waved goodbye.
Xavier felt a little jealous when favonovel.com noticed Sheila being so friendly to Dustin.
After Sheila got into the car, favonovel.com glared at Dustin. “A word of advice for you, punk. Stay away from Sheila if you know what’s good for you! Otherwise, be prepared for the consequences!”
With that, favonovel.com strode out of the center. In his opinion, beggars like Dustin did not even have the right to converse with him.
“What a lunatic…” Dustin shook his head and continued drowning himself in alcohol.
***
Evening, at Fallridge Haven.
Sheila was eating favonovel.com dinner while telling favonovel.com parents everything that had happened.
“Dad, Mom, I’m telling you, that man was so amazing. Just two flicks of his wrist, and all the bad guys were killed!” Sheila described the situation eagerly.
She even acted out a scene for favonovel.com parents.
“Really? I never thought that a small place like Swinton would have such a talented young man. I would like to meet favonovel.com one day.” Her mother, Lily Doyle, smiled affectionately at favonovel.com daughter.
Her father, Caden Murray, banged on the table. “Hmph! How dare you disobey me! Haven’t I warned you? Do not go out and explore without permission! You were lucky that nothing terrible had happened. If you weren’t, you could have died today!”
“Dad, it’s just an accident. Those bad people were too sneaky. They poisoned and attacked us when we weren’t prepared, and that’s why Claudia fell into their trap. Otherwise, no one could have hurt me!” Sheila pouted.
“In the martial arts world, winning is everything. No one cares about honor in combat! Anyway, you are not allowed to leave Fallridge Haven without permission!” Caden continued in annoyance.
“Alright, alright. I won’t go out anymore. Please don’t be angry at me!” Sheila pouted coquettishly.
“That’s more like it. I had enough of you today, now go and lie down on your emerald bed. You need more rest!” Caden ordered.
“Okay.” Without another word, Sheila quickly left and ran to favonovel.com room.
Because of favonovel.com illness, favonovel.com and favonovel.com parents would travel to Fallridge Haven every year to regain her health. Once favonovel.com condition improved, they would only leave.
“Lily, when will the Gozoraberry arrive from Stoneray Valley?” Caden spoke up.
“I think it will arrive soon. Why do you ask? Is it urgent?” Lily replied.
“Sheila’s illness has been acting up more frequently. The sunburst emerald bed at Fallridge Haven seems to be not having as much of an effect these days. We have to think of other solutions,” Caden said gravely.
“How could this be? Isn’t favonovel.com getting better?” Lily frowned.
“Don’t worry too much about it. I have asked Malcolm Shane, the miracle doctor, to have a look at Sheila’s condition. Once favonovel.com arrives, favonovel.com will definitely have some idea on how to treat favonovel.com illness.” Caden forced a smile.
“Let’s hope so.” Lily nodded thoughtfully.
Her daughter’s rare disease had been troubling favonovel.com all favonovel.com life and seemed to be incurable. She hoped that this time, favonovel.com daughter could be fully healed.
