An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 1370: A Curse

"Mr. Torby's vital signs are temporarily stable, but this peculiar illness is truly elusive, and I'm sorry to say I'm powerless," Dr. Elijah said regretfully.

"Doctor Elijah, you're all the best doctors in the southern city. Please, try to find a solution. We must cure my father, no matter how much it costs or what it takes. The Torby family will spare no effort!" Kevin pleaded.

"Mr. Kevin, forgive my bluntness, but the symptoms your father is exhibiting don't seem like an illness to me; they seem more like a curse," Dr. Elijah said gravely.

"A curse?"

At these words, everyone was taken aback. Hearing such things from a doctor felt somewhat absurd.

"Doctor Elijah, please explain more clearly. What exactly is going on?" Kevin asked cautiously.

"When I say 'curse,' I'm referring to practices such as witchcraft, sorcery, or hexes. I don't have much knowledge about these things; I've only read about them in books, so it's just a guess on my part," Dr. Elijah explained.

"Witchcraft and curses?" Kevin furrowed his brow. If an ordinary person had said this, he wouldn't have believed it, but Dr. Elijah had a renowned reputation, so it couldn't be baseless.
