My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

Dustin exchanged pleasantries with the guests for a while before returning to Patricia's side.

"You lied to me again." Patricia pouted and pinched him.

"Ow! How can you be so ruthless?" Dustin pulled a dramatic face and acted like he was in pain.

"Hmph!" Patricia huffed. "You said we'd just bring something from an antique shop as a gift. Where did that bead come from? Did you really spend 80 million on it?"

"80 million was necessary. Since they paid 150 million for it, I couldn't go too low, right?" Dustin said.

If anyone else had heard that, they would have been apoplectic.

Was he listening to himself?

It was sold for 150 million, and he got it for 80 million. Was he still not satisfied?

Moreover, the bead was actually worth more than 150 million. It was priced that way only because other elite families had done Stanley a massive favor.

"You're going to bankrupt yourself. Half of your grandfather's inheritance is nearly gone. What will you do next?" Patricia pouted.

Dustin had told her about the large inheritance that was left for him by the Fox family.

But she was not really angry with him for spending money this time.noveldrama

The bead was for Terry.

If the rumors were true, and it held the miraculous effects that people claimed, it would be worth every penny.

"You said my great-grandfather would wake up within an hour. Why hasn't there been any sign?" she asked nervously as she looked at the still-motionless Terry.

He was practically no different from a vegetable.

"Maybe his body is too weak, and his blood circulation is blocked," Dustin said after a moment of thought.

"Nothing serious, though. I just need to give him a light tap."

If he acted recklessly, the Yeager family would not let him near Terry.

The two whispered for a moment before Patricia approached Zack.

"Grandfather, may I speak to my great-grandfather for a moment?" she pleaded.

Zack glanced at her and then at the curious onlookers.

Patricia was family, and it was only natural for her to want to talk to her great- grandfather.

Also, refusing that after Dustin's priceless gift would invite criticism.

"Don't take too long," Zack said with a slight nod.

Patricia led Dustin to Terry's side.

She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Terry's face.

"Great-grandfather, do you recognize me?" she asked with a trembling voice.

Terry's eyes were dull and lifeless. He did not answer.

"Mr. Zack, is there really no cure for Mr. Terry?" a guest asked.

"My father suffers from advanced dementia," Zack said. "It's a sort of

terminal illness, and it's incula et

He had brief moments of clarity years@go, but now, he's no better than a bedridden vegetable. We've consulted every renowned doctor, but nothing's worked."

"That's tough..." The guests nodded.

"Not necessarily incurable," Dustin said calmly.

All eyes turned to him.

"Dustin, dementia is something modern medicine can't cure. This is an internationally recognized fact. It's not deadly, but it's incredibly tough to manage," one gues@said with a smile.

"That doesn't mean no one can cure it," Dustin said.

"Come on! If someone could cure something modern medicine couldn't, they'd be world-famous..."

"Dustin, just say what you want to say. Are you calling all those doctors quacks? Are you claiming you can cure him?" Damien sneered. He hated the way Dustin talked.

"I didn't say that. Treating illnesses isn't just about empty words."

"Sure, your grandfather was a skilled

doctor, but that's outdated Lovellia medicine. How can it compare to modern medicine? Moreover, you didn't even master any of it. Don't be so arrogant and dismiss modern doctors just like that!"

Dustin ignored him.

Silently, he raised his hand and lightly patted Terry's back.

"What are you doing?" The Yeager family members were furious, and they rushed toward him.

How dare he hit Terry in front of everyone? Did he have a death wish?

"Cough! Cough..."

Before they could get close, Terry suddenly coughed.

To everyone's surprise, the once unresponsive Terry lifted a hand and patted his

own forehead.
