Chapter 547

"S–

she's awake? Everyone was amazed to see that Mrs. Xenos had come around,

and they stared at her wide–

eyed with disbelief. Nobody had ever thought that this young man would be

able to cure Mrs. Xenos of something that even Dr. Alden found impossibl

e. And he managed to do so with just several needles! The entire process

had been nothing special and was just plain old needling techniques, but

it was exactly because of how simple everything had been that they found

it shocking

"H–

how is this possible?' Dr. Alden was completely blown away by what he jus

t witnessed. That was cerebral congestion, and she had been diagnosed as

a vegetative patient, for goodness sake! It was such a complicated condit

ion, and he managed to cure her with just several needles? He must be jok

ing!

'She's awake! She's awake! Mom's awake!" It took Ruby a while to register

that her mother was finally

awake, but when she snapped back to her senses, she jumped with joy. She

had been utterly devastated when she got to know that her mother was in a

vegetative state. It was a miracle that she could come around so soon!

"Honey, how are you feeling?" George forced himself to calm down and quic

kly went up to check on his wife.

"I feel a bit woozy, but apart from that, I'm fine. What's wrong?" Mrs. X

enos was confused, as she only remembered what happened before she passed

out.

"That's great! It's great that you're feeling fine!" George laughed happi

ly after he was sure that his wife was no longer in any danger.

"You really are a miracle healer, young man! I underestimated you! You ha

ve exceptional medical skills. I'm impressed!" George shook Dustin's hand

as a sign of respect.

"Don't mention it. Just remember that reward you promised," Dustin said w

ithout any arrogance. He had only helped them because he felt that it was

fate that they crossed paths, so it went without saying that he'd ask fo

r payment.

"Hahaha! I like how direct you are, young

man! How much are you asking for? Just state your price," George said wit

h a chuckle.

"You pay however much you deem fit." Dustin left it to him to decide how

much he was going to

pay.

So, George generously wrote him a 30–million–

dollar check and handed it to him. "Please have this, young man. This is

a token of my appreciation to you for saving my wife. If you ever run int

o any difficulties, just come to me, and I promise I'll help you out of i

t!"

"Thanks!" Dustin gave the check a flick and put it away in his pocket.

"What happened?" Mrs. Xenos looked around, still trying to figure out wha

t exactly happened to

her.

"Mom! You nearly lost your life due to intracranial hemorrhage! Dustin wa

s the one that saved you! "Ruby was quick to explain the situation to her

mother.

"Intracranial hemorrhage?" Mrs. Xenos was obviously shocked to hear that.

Was it possible that he had been telling the truth all along? Had she wr

onged him?

At the thought of that, she said remorsefully, "I'm truly sorry, young ma

n. I hope you do not take my offensive words to heart."

"Don't worry about

it. It's all in the past," Dustin said with a shake of his head. Hardly a

nyone would believe it if someone just came up to them and told them that

they were going to suffer from intracranial hemorrhage.

"Thank you, Dustin. Had it not been for you, things would have turned out

horribly." Ruby had nothing but appreciation for Dustin.

"Don't mention it. I've been paid for my work," Dustin said with a faint

smile.

"Your medical skills are out of this world, young man. Would you be inter

ested in joining us? We desperately need talented people like you!"
