Chapter 250

"Mom! Are you alright?" Dakota's expression crumbled as she quickly helpe

d her mother up. She was both alarmed and enraged.

"Ouch! My teeth!" Jane wailed while pressing a hand against her face, fee

ling the stinging sensation. Her mouth was throbbing after it almost went

out of shape from the slap.

"How dare you hit us? You're dead! Your entire family is damned! Be a man

and stay where you are! I'll teach you a lesson!" An incensed Dakota sta

rted making calls and requesting backup, but Dustin had no time for her a

s he continued applying first aid to the poor young girl. Thanks to the m

agical needle, the young girl's condition stabilized soon. At that time,

the ambulance arrived at the scene.

"Your daughter is fine now, but her wound needs bandaging and careful car

e to heal." Dustin placed the young girl onto the stretcher. Seeing that,

the woman in white thanked him profusely before leaving in the ambulance

.

"You enjoy being the hero, don't you? Just wait and see. You'll get flame

d." Jane and Dakota fixed their keen eyes on him, looking as though they

wouldn't let it slip.

Dustin scanned them from head to toe and commented mildly, "Rather than w

asting time on me, you should really get checked at the hospital. From th

e looks of it, you're suffering from blood stasis. You don't have much in

ternal energy, and your eyes are those of dead fish. I'm afraid your days

are numbered."

"Nonsense! You're the one who's dying! I'm fine!" Jane glared at him.

He raised a brow, looking amused, "Oh, you don't believe me? Have you bee

n feeling dizzy and weak these few days? And do you suffer from nosebleed

s now and then?"

"How did you know?" Her expression crumbled a little. Indeed, she had bee

n feeling sick, and the symptoms

matched his descriptions. However, she went for a checkup at the hospital

and found no issues. Hence, she had put it to the back of her mind.

"It's no cause for concern. Just a terminal illness," he added

nonchalantly.

'T–

terminal illness?" The color drained from Jane's face. She was stunned

by the diagnosis. How was a

terminal illness not a cause for concern?

"Mom, don't listen to his nonsense. He's obviously scaring you because he

worries we'll get back at him!" Dakota suddenly jumped in to assuage her

. "You take supplements all the time. Why would you fall sick? And no sic

k person would be full of energy like you!"

"That's right… I do not suffer from any illness! I'm in the pink of healt

h!" Jane nodded furiously and jeered," You bastard! I'm warning you–

you'd better quit all that nonsense!"

*Judging from the progression, you'll face a life–

threatening situation in three days. On the first day, you'll lose consci

ousness, followed by coughing up blood on the second day. You'll be paral

yzed on the third day. Three days later, you will be staring at death," h

e remarked quietly.

It made Jane feel oddly anxious, and her heart skipped a beat. Still, she

bit the bullet and bellowed at him, "Do you think I'm a coward? Tell you

what–you can't bluff your way out of this!"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Take care." He was uninterested in en

gaging further with the Nicholsons and

"Hey! Stand there! I didn't tell you to leave!" Dakota was frustrated and

went up to stop him, but his glare immediately put her in her place. She

promptly stopped in her tracks out of consideration for her safety.

knowing that Dustin was a madman.

"Let him leave. He won't run far. When our backup arrives, we'll double d

own on him." Jane had a hostile look

on her face.

During their conversation, they noticed a few black SUVS stopping by the

intersection. The door slid open to reveal Florence and James. The two ma

rched toward Jane and Dakota.

"Gosh! Jane! Dakota! What happened?" Florence, acting humbly, immediately

started with pleasantries. Henry Nicholson's family was a branch of the

Nicholsons of Glenstead. However, due to Henry's protest against an arran

ged marriage, he eloped to Swinton with his lover. The two families were

not in frequent contact. After the demise of the Glenstead patriarch, Edg

ar Nicholson, the family in Glenstead sent two representatives-

Jane and Dakota–

to meet with Henry in Swinton, mainly to fulfill Edgar's wish. Edgar's la

st wish was for

Henry, the second son, to return to Glenstead.

"Hmph! How dare you ask us?" Jane was ashen–

faced. "We came all the way to this

tiny town of yours. Not only did you not host us well, but you also made

us go through humiliation! It looks like your family doesn't

want to reunite with us at Glenstead!"

Florence, James, and their companions almost peed themselves after hearin

g that. They were well aware of the perks of reuniting with the Nicholson

s of Glenstead. The move would elevate the status of the Nicholson

family of Swinton, and they would never let the opportunity slip.

"Jane, please calm down. Let us know if you need anything else. I promise

I'll take care of it for you!" Florence hurriedly put on an apologetic s

mile.

James echoed her with confidence. "That's right! We'll take action on tha

t rascal who hits you no matter who

he is!"

"What's the use of saying that? He's gone!" Dakota pouted crossly. If her

grandfather hadn't ordered them to get the task done, she wouldn't have

visited a small town like Swinton with her status.

"It's okay! There's a surveillance camera by the intersection. I will get

someone to check on it right away and catch the culprit tomorrow to ensu

re justice is served!" Florence promised.

"Hmph! That's more like it." Dakota's features

softened, and she added. "Oh, and get the best doctor for me."

"Dakota, are you hurt?" James looked shocked. He stole a few glances at h

er but did not see any tears on her outfit or any visible wounds.

"That's nonsense! Didn't

you see that I'm bleeding from my elbow? Are you blind?" She scoffed whil

e showing everyone the graze on her elbow. When they took a better look a

t it, they

were baffled at what she described as an injury, for that was a wound tha

t only required a bandaid.

"Why are you standing there? Get the car and send Dakola to the hospital!

I'll give you a whopping if you miss

the golden hour!"

Florence was quick to slap James on the back of his

head. Jane Engleton and Dakota Nicholson had the final say on whether or

not Florence's family could rejoin their Glenstead relatives. Therefore,

she would treat the

two women with the utmost respect.

"Okay" James dared not object. Along with a few other relatives, he helpe

like they were royalties. Then, they rushed the two women to the hospital
