The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 266 The Duty of a Doctor

Daniel had no intention of leaving. Even though Abigail didn't trust him, he was a doctor with the duty to save lives. He couldn't just leave a dying patient. Daniel decided to stick around and wait for the doctor Abigail had called. If the incoming doctor could save Liam, only then would Daniel feel relieved. But, if that doctor was incapable, Daniel would have to step in.

The wail of sirens heralded the arrival of an ambulance. A group of medical professionals arrived led by a middle-aged man named Gabriel Hill, the most capable doctor at the county hospital. Gabriel usually did not attend to emergency calls, but he made an exception this time due to Liam's considerate influence.

Gabriel stepped out of the ambulance, immediately attaching various devices to Liam for a thorough assessment.

"Abigail, your father's condition doesn’t look good. If we wait to get him back to the hospital, it might be too late. I need to treat him right here and now to keep him alive," Gabriel announced, turning to a young nurse. "Give him a shot of adrenaline to maintain his heart rate."

The nurse set into action upon receiving the order. Daniel, overhearing the plan, urgently interjected, "Gabriel, if you give him adrenaline, he'll die right away."

Gabriel glared at Daniel, his tone growing icy as he demanded, "Who are you?"

"I'm just a passerby with good intentions. Also, I'm a medical practitioner."

"A medical practitioner? Which hospital are you with?"

"I don't belong to a hospital, I'm a shaman from a village."

"A shaman? So, you admit to being a charlatan, here to deceive and possibly harm Liam?"

Gabriel's accusation left Brittany momentarily speechless before she jumped into the conversation, questioning, "Wait, what? Did you say this guy is a state legislator? From which county?"

"Obviously, it's our River County!"

Gabriel's response sparked an idea in Brittany. Her family needed help with an issue she couldn’t handle alone, and she didn't want to involve Jessica. However, this country boy was an entirely different matter. She felt entitled to command him to resolve the issue as her due reward.
