The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 472

"Shut up!" Avery chastised Daniel once more, then turned her attention back to Kind's bed, deciding to ignore what she regarded as Daniel's inane chatter. After all, having a playful and mischievous 'son' like Daniel was proving to be quite entertaining.

By this point, Professor John had already injected the entirety of the medication into Kind’s bloodstream and removed the needle. Avery watched anxiously and asked, "Professor John, how is he now?"

"Rest assured, Avery," the professor assured her confidently. "The new medicine I developed is nothing short of miraculous. In less than a minute, you will see the patient wake up and open his eyes."

As soon as Professor John finished speaking, numbers on the display screens started to change. The steadily rising figures indicated that Kind's condition was beginning to improve.

Down was ecstatic, seeing the numbers as a validation of his efforts to impress Avery. He had brought Professor John here to prove his worth, ensuring a chance for Avery to consider him as a worthy suitor for her daughter. Three years ago, a single glance at Jessica had left Down utterly smitten; since that day, she haunted even his dreams.

"Avery, look at the screens. He's being saved. Professor John truly deserves his title as the finest healer on the planet!" Down declared triumphantly.

"Down, you really are despicable," Daniel spat out with disdain. "Crowning him the world's greatest doctor? His first attempt is about to kill the patient. How could that qualify him as the finest doctor out there?"

"You country boy, stop talking nonsense," Down retorted. "What do you mean he's going to kill the patient? Open your eyes and look at the screens. Can't you see all the numbers are improving?"

Down pointed at the screens with a confident smile, while Pork chimed in with a disdainful glance at Daniel.

"You country bumpkin, keep quiet and stop behaving like an idiot," he admonished.

"Being an idiot? What do you mean?" Daniel inquired.

"My cousin is a rare beauty, the jewel of The Matthews family. Not only does The Evans’s young master seek her hand; so does the head of New York's finest family, The Perkins. So, it'd be best if you understand your place. Otherwise, be careful not to play with fire and get burned to ash."

"And here I realize, my dear brother-in-law, you're threatening me. You're asking me to back down? Jessica is my wife, and I will never step aside," Daniel responded resolutely.

Upon hearing Daniel's assertive words, Pork became agitated and countered, "You country boy, don't make absurd claims! How could Jessica possibly be your wife? With your peasant look, and no qualifications to speak of, what right do you have to marry someone like Jessica? Could you summon a world-famous doctor like Professor John? I doubt you could even secure his contact details!"

Daniel retorted with a cold laugh to Pork's accusations.

"The world's number one doctor? By jabbing someone and sending them straight to their demise? Does that make him deserving of the title?"

"You're talking rubbish! Grandfather has clearly come back to life, not been killed," Pork shot back, refuting Daniel's accusations.
