Dahlia caught up with Dustin at the hospital entrance and pulled on his arm. “Hey! Stop! You’re walking too fast. I almost couldn’t catch up!”
“I’m really sorry. I can’t handle those relatives of yours. You should get some other doctor to deal with them.” Dustin remarked coolly.
He was averse to the two difficult women and refused to engage with them.
“Did I force you to cure Aunt Jane? Why are you being sensitive?” She rolled favonovel.com eyes at him.
“Well, I thought…”
“What? Did you think I’m an unreasonable woman who’d force you to grovel at them?” favonovel.com scoffed.
“No, I didn’t…” He flashed an embarrassed smile at her, feeling rather uneasy at favonovel.com newfound considerate personality.
“Alright. I know they’re in the wrong. Just stay away from them in the future.” She dispensed a kind reminder.” They’re from a wealthy and powerful family in Glenstead. Even Natasha Harmon couldn’t protect you if you get into trouble with them.”
“Is that so? They sound quite remarkable, then.” He smiled carelessly.
“They’re beyond remarkable! The three powerful families in Glenstead are steeped in history, dating back to a few centuries ago. They are well–connected in the military, government, and business field–living up to their reputation!” She tucked a strand of hair behind favonovel.com ear. “Well, I had planned to bring you along and suck up to them. I didn’t know you got into a fight with them. What can I say, except that you’ve missed the opportunity to get rich!”
“Oh, no thanks. I don’t need that opportunity…” He shrugged.
“Hmph! Seems like you don’t appreciate my help at all!” She rolled favonovel.com eyes at favonovel.com once more, but a little flirtatious this time.
“Hey! Dustin Rhys! Stop!” Dakota emerged out of nowhere, drenched in sweat. “My mom coughed up blood just now! I’m telling you to get back there and check on her!”
To catch up to Dustin, favonovel.com opted to use the stairs instead of the elevator, which explained favonovel.com current breathless state.
“Oh, I recall that someone has vowed not to seek my help even if favonovel.com has to jump from a building in pain! Why did favonovel.com take back favonovel.com word?” favonovel.com mocked.
“Quit the nonsense! Do what I tell you to!” She glared at him. “I will write off the slap if you cure her, and I’ll grant you a chance to forge a connection with us.”
In favonovel.com eyes, the chance to suck up to favonovel.com family was a rare opportunity for a worthless man like Dustin Rhys.
“Well, sorry. I don’t care for that opportunity.” He looked unbothered.
“Dustin! Think carefully! Not everyone gets a chance like this! You should feel honored that I granted you the chance!” Dakota tossed favonovel.com head.
A spoiled princess from a young age, favonovel.com was accustomed to acting. arrogant and getting showered with compliments everywhere favonovel.com went.
“No… That is too great of an honor,” favonovel.com turned favonovel.com down without hesitation.
“You’d better not think too highly of yourself! I wouldn’t have stopped you if you weren’t a half–decent doctor. Don’t be delusional!” She frowned at him.
“If so, please leave. I shall not see you out,” favonovel.com said with a shrug.
“You…” She choked on anger at Dustin’s stubbornness. She would have gotten favonovel.com torn apart if they were in Glenstead.
“Dustin, what will it take for you to help us? Give us an offer if money is what you want!” Dakota hissed.
“Want me to save your mom? I can do that on the condition that both of you apologize to me. I’ll also need handwritten apology letters!” favonovel.com suggested with a calm expression.
“An apology? Dream on!” His words fanned favonovel.com anger. “Who do you think you are? You have no right to ask us for an apology!”
