Chapter 65

Dustin’s words took everyone by surprise. No one had expected him to be so audacious as to

disregard them.

“You brat! Are you even hearing yourself?” Duane’s jaws were tightly clenched and his expression was

slightly distorted from the anguish. He was a person of prestige in South City, much less a small place

like Swinton. And now, this little scoundrel dared speak to him like that?

How impudent!

“I know very well what I’m saying. You, however, do not seem to fathom the severity of the situation at

hand. I

am the only one who can help with your condition,” Dustin spelled out coldly.

“You rascal! Don’t go around thinking that you’re some miracle worker just because you’ve got some

medical

tricks up your sleeves! You better know what’s best for you before I lose my temper!” Duane bellowed.

“That’s right! I’ll break your face if you don’t cure my boss!” Duane’s bodyguard threatened.

“You’ll break my face? I’d like to see you try.” Dustin sneered.

“I guess this one wouldn’t be afraid until death stares him in the face!” The bodyguard was angered. He

took a

step forward and threw a punch at Dustin’s face. His fist was on the target, and it came on fast. It was

evident

that he was a skilled fighter.

Before the punch made contact with his face, Dustin grunted and gave the bodyguard such a strong

slap that

it sent him sprawling backward.

The bodyguard did not even have the chance to make a sound as he passed out on the spot, face

disfigured.

Duane’s face fell. It never occurred to him that Dustin was proficient in martial arts too.

“What’s the matter?” Natasha came strolling in at her own pace, looking haughty and carrying an air of

authority. Even without knowing what was going on, she instinctively stood by Dustin.

“Natasha! This insolent rascal not only refused to heal me, he even beat my man up! Tell me, how do

you think. this should be handled?” Duane asked with hostility.

“Uncle Duane, I believe Dustin would not have attacked your man without being provoked. That being

the case, your man brought it upon himself!” Natasha responded firmly.

Duane’s brows furrowed. “So, you’re adamant about taking his side?”

“Of course!” Natasha lifted her chin. “Dustin is my friend. If you have any problem with him, you may

me.”

“Hmph! You’re turning against me for an outsider? Have you considered how you’re going to tell your

parents about this?” Duane roared.

“That’s not something you should worry about, Uncle Duane. I’ll deal with them myself.“Natasha then

continued stonily, “But you, Uncle Duane, look like you’re in serious pain. I think you’d better seek help.

Don’t

wait till it gets any worse.”

“You! Very well! Let’s go!” After giving them a spiteful glare, Duane left in a huff. Natasha’s reaction was

what he expected. But considering her status, he had no intention of crossing her, so he had no choice

but to

walk away.

“Will you be in any sort of trouble for helping me out?” Dustin asked. Though he was not intimidated by

Duane. he was still grateful to Natasha.

“Trouble?” Natasha chuckled. “Well, they used to call me Black Widow. Venomous and deadly,

apparently.

What’s this trivial matter got on me?”

“Well, isn’t that phenomenal?” Dustin raised a brow.

“But of course! Are you interested in finding out?”

“Finding out? How?” Natasha chuckled yet again. With a sultry grin, she leaned into Dustin and

whispered into

his ear. “Come over to my room tonight. I’ll show you.”

And then, she pulled away, biting her lower lip. That was no mistaking it for anything but seduction.

Dustin kept quiet and pretended not to hear her. His eyelid twitched. This woman was really something.

seducing him in broad daylight.

Meanwhile, Duane’s chest was hurting so much that he rushed to the hospital as quickly as he could.

“Quick! Get a doctor!”

Following Duane’s bodyguard’s rude barks, a group of doctors rushed to the emergency ward to tend

to him. However, after going through a series of tests, the doctors came to the astonishing conclusion

that there was absolutely nothing wrong with Duane. He was perfectly fine.

“Sir, are you sure that you are experiencing pain in your chest?” a doctor asked.

“Why the fuck would I be lying about it?” Duane replied none too kindly. “Fuck it! I’m so close to

spasming from the damned pain! Why would I be lying?” he thought.

“Well, the thing is, we are unable to diagnose the issue. Why don’t you get a consultation from another

hospital?”

“You bunch of worthless morons!” Duane left after spewing profanities. Without a moment to waste, he

hurried to two other renowned hospitals. Still, their conclusions were the same: He was perfectly

healthy and nothing

was wrong with him.

“How could this be?” Duane grabbed at his chest, pale–faced with sweat running down his face. The

worst part was that the pain was intensifying as time went on. It was as though he would never see the

end of it. He had been practicing martial arts for many, many years, and he believed himself to be

tough and resilient. But the excruciating pain he was going through was simply intolerable. He thought

that he might lose his mind if it carried on any longer.

“Sir, even the hospitals can’t help. What do we do now?” Seeing Duane in so much pain, his

bodyguards were

at a loss.

“Could it be possible that the rascal is the only one who can help me?” Recalling Dustin’s words,

Duane gritted his teeth. Ultimately, he had no choice but to give in. “Head to Peaceful Medical Centre.

Get that rascal

to help.”

Duane’s men dared not question his decision. They immediately sent him back to Peaceful Medical

Centre. This time around, they lost all the contempt and arrogance they had before.

“Well, if it isn’t Uncle Duane? What’s got you coming back so soon?” Natasha, who had been biding

her time, rose to greet him with a smile.

“Natasha, I acted rashly and said some rubbish earlier on. Please don’t take it to heart. Can you please

get

Dustin to help me?” Duane tried to put on a smile.

“Uncle Duane, there’s no use telling me that. It’d be better for you to say it to Dustin.” Natasha gestured

at Dustin behind her. He was reading leisurely, taking no heed of the few men who had just entered.

Duane cleared his throat before starting, “Hey, Rhys, I’m really sorry. I was in such agony that I was

rash with my words and offended you. Please do not mind me. I’m really sorry, I apologize.”

Duane chose to yield to him. Seeing that Dustin was ignoring him, he offered, “Hey, if you help me, you

can have your pick out of my collection of treasured herbs.”

Dustin finally lifted his head when he heard that.
