The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 976 Just You Wait

Damian pressed his fingers against Aaron's wrist, checking his pulse, but after what felt like ages, he couldn't replace any useful information. Aaron's condition was just too chaotic. Noticing Damian's furrowed brow and silence, Daniel chimed in, "Damian, are you starting to believe that Aaron is under divine punishment and not dealing with some parasite?"

Damian's anger flared up at Daniel's unwelcome interruption. "You're just a country doctor! What gives you the right to challenge me? With your skills, you should be tending to the pets of old folks in your village, not diagnosing serious illnesses. Do you even know what a parasite is? Čan you treat that type of sickness? If you don't know anything, you should really just keep quiet!

You think Aaron is being punished by God? Is every illness you can't cure just divine punishment in your little village? That's a convenient excuse for failure!"

""Ha!" Daniel scoffed.

Then he turned to Damian with a teasing smile, "So, Damian, is it safe to assume you know what illness Aaron has? And that you have a plan for the next treatment that will finally take care of that stomach pain?"

"Of course, I know!" Damian declared, confidently puffing out his chest. "I'm a top doctor in D.C.! If I can't handle a simple parasite infection, then what am I even doing here?"

"Since you're so sure of yourself, then let's see it. I'm all eyes!" Daniel said, challenging him.

Feeling backed into a corner by Daniel, Damian decided to take a gamble. He didn't have many options left. It was time to roll the dice and hope for the best.

After hesitating for a moment, he made a decision. Even if this treatment couldn't completely. eradicate the parasites inside Aaron, it should at least bring some temporary relief from the pain.

If he could get Aaron to stop hurting, even if just for a little while, his reputation would be safe for now. So, without further ado, Damian picked up the golden needle and injected it into Aaron's body.

This time, the effect was immediate-Aaron's pain vanished right away.

Seeing the relief on Aaron's face, Damian beamed and asked, "So, Aaron, how are you feeling now?"

Aaron felt his stomach and realized the pain was indeed gone. With gratitude in his voice, he exclaimed "Wow, Damian, you really are amazing! No wonder you're one of the top doctors! After that shot, my stomach feels great. You've really fixed it!"

"Ha!" Daniel interrupted with an inappropriate chuckle, eyeing Aaron. "But don't celebrate too soon, Aaron."
