An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Dustin’s words left Aurora feeling conflicted. While she had faith in his medical expertise, concern for Alicia’s health lingered.

It was a classic dilemma of prioritizing caution over potential regret. What if Alicia remained unconscious? What would their next move be?

“Aurora, I brought Dr. Rhys here, and I trusted him. Right now, Alicia needs rest. Forcing her awake won’t help,” Grace advised sincerely.

“Hmph! You two are obviously working together, of course, you’d say that!” Brian continued to stoke the fire.

He continued, “Aurora, don’t listen to their smooth talk. Your sister waking up is the only real solution. Everything else is just empty talk!”

“Exactly. A patient’s condition can change suddenly. Just because things seem stable doesn’t guarantee they’ll stay that way. Lives are on the line, and we need to proceed cautiously,” Kenan added as he echoed his support for Brian.

Kenan was a renowned doctor in the martial world. He felt his pride sting as a newcomer took over his spotlight. Given the opportunity, he vowed to reclaim his status without hesitation.

“Dr. Rhys, could you… awaken Alicia as soon as possible?” Aurora hesitated before making the request.

Despite Brian’s brashness, she felt a kernel of truth in his words.

“Sure. However, let me clarify that if there are any complications after your sister awakes, I can’t be held accountable,” Dustin stated calmly.
