An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Brooke, who had been standing behind Dustin, broke the silence. Brooke had been watching the situation unfold, but there was little he could do. Even with his impressive medical skills, he couldn’t help without the right ingredients.

“Mr. Shaffer is stable for now, but I can’t say for how long. We need to gather the ingredients and make the Sanctifix as soon as possible to cure him fully,” Dustin said, concern etched on his face.

Using true energy to prolong life was a temporary solution, not a permanent fix. With time, Mr. Shaffer’s condition would deteriorate. If they continued on this path, there would be no way out.

“It’s my fault for not being able to find the other two rare herbs,” Brooke said, filled with guilt. Despite his reputation in the medical field, he had hoped his connections could help locate the herbs, but he was disappointed.

“Don’t blame yourself, Dr. Busch. Precious herbs can be hard to come by. We can only do what we can and leave the rest to fate.” Dustin sighed softly.

“Let’s hope Mr. Shaffer recovers soon,’ Brooke whispered a silent prayer, his hands clasped together. Suddenly, a faint knock came from the door. Dustin opened it to find Maximus standing outside.
