Everyone watched wide–eyed as Dustin administered the fiery beetle.

The moment it entered She’s body, the effect was immediate. The cold air around her began to

dissipate, and in less than three minutes, her body had gone from icy cold to being at a regr

temperature.

She gained color in her cheeks, and her breathing steadied.

Then, under the disbelieving gaze of the crowd, she whimpered and came around.

“She’s awake?” Astonishment was evident on the crowd’s faces.

The fact that a rascal like Dustin was able to cure She of her condition 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?” udia was equally amazed and terrified.

She struggled toe 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 eyes 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 improvement in the medical field,

finally found new hope.

“She! How are you feeling? Are you experiencing any difort?” Caden and Lily were both happily

surprised.

They had not held high hopes, to begin with, and they were more than pleased to be met with such a

miracle.

“Dad, Mom How weird. I no longer feel the coldness within me. It’s as though it has vanished!” She

patted herself all over, a surprised expression 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 hold her up. He was not used to

such unbridled expressions of gratitude.

“Was it you who saved me, kind sir?” She was delighted to see Dustin.

It had just been a day, and they had met again! Was it not fate?

“She, 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!” She bowed deeply.

“You’re wee. After all, I get paid for saving you.” Dustin smiled.

“So is my daughterpletely cured, young man?” Caden asked cautiously.

He had consulted many experienced and well–known doctors regarding She’s condition, and all of

them had expressed that the condition could only be suppressed, notpletely eradicated. So he had

to be sure.

“I wouldn’t say that she’spletely cured of it, but she won’t be bothered by it for the next 10 years,”

Dustin guaranteed.

“Why is it only for 10 years? Can’t you get rid of itpletely?” Caden frowned.

“It’s Prfrost. It can’t be eliminated so easily. Unless you are able to get some extremely rare herbs

that can improve her cirction and metabolism, 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 rified.

“10 years is good enough. At least it will give us more time to find other means of solution.” Lily smiled.

It was already a pleasant surprise that her daughter’s life had been prolonged 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 lounge. I’ll be there in a while,” Caden

said lightly.
