Chapter 161

Everyone watched wide-eyed as Dustin administered the fiery beetle. The moment it entered Sheila'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 a regular temperature. She gained color in her cheeks, and her breathing steadied. Then, under the disbelieving gaze of the crowd, she whimpered and awoke.

"She's awake?" Astonishment was evident on everyone's faces. The fact that Dustin, a rascal, had cured Sheila when even Dr. Shane couldn't, was beyond comprehension. It was shocking indeed!

"H-How is this possible?" Xavier's eyes widened in bewilderment. How could an unknown doctor possess such skills?

"How did he do it?" Claudia was equally amazed and terrified. She struggled to reconcile her belief that the method was evil with its healing properties.

"I never knew 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 groundbreaking. Malcolm, who had initially thought he had no room for improvement in the medical field, finally found new hope.

"Sheila! How are you feeling? Are you experiencing any discomfort?" Caden and Lily were both happily surprised. They hadn't held high hopes and were more than pleased with this miracle.

"Dad, Mom… How weird. I no longer feel the coldness within me. It's as though it has vanished!" Sheila 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 she was about to bow to Dustin in gratitude.

"Mrs. Murray, please, there's no need to bow!" Dustin reached out to steady her. He was not used to such unbridled expressions of gratitude.

"Was it you who saved me, kind sir?" Sheila was delighted to see Dustin. It had only been a day since they'd last met! Was it not fate?

"Sheila, 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!" Sheila bowed deeply.

"You're welcome. After all, I get paid for saving you," Dustin smiled.

"So is my daughter completely cured, young man?" Caden asked cautiously. He had consulted many experienced and well-known doctors regarding Sheila's condition, and all had said it could only be suppressed, not eradicated. He needed to be sure.

"I wouldn't say she's completely cured, but she won't be bothered by it for the next ten years," Dustin guaranteed.

"Why only ten years? Can't you get rid of it completely?" Caden frowned.

"It's Polarfrost. It can't be eliminated easily. Unless you can obtain extremely rare herbs that improve circulation 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 clarified.

"Ten years is good enough. At least it will give us more time to find other solutions," Lily smiled. It was already a pleasant surprise that her daughter's life had been prolonged by ten 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 delivered 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.
