An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1283

Chapter 1283 Debt of Gratitude

After closing the door on the second floor, Dr. Elijah hesitated for a moment before finally ascending to the third floor.

The third floor was tightly sealed, with multiple layers of locks, including iron doors, iron grids, security doors, surveillance cameras, and alarm systems.

The security was so tight that not even a fly could get in.

After going through a series of unlocking procedures, Dr. Elijah finally reached the third floor.

The third floor was dimly lit, and most of the rooms were filled with miscellaneous items meant to conceal their true purpose.

However, the innermost room was clean, tidy, and warm.

At this moment, on the bed in the room, lay a middle-aged man who was thin and pale.

The man was unconscious, with weak and almost imperceptible breathing, as if he were dead.

Dr. Elijah approached the man’s bedside and habitually checked his pulse before letting out a long sigh.

“Ah… It’s been ten years. I wonder when you’ll wake up.”

“It’s a pity that I, Elijah, have the reputation of a divine physician, but I can’t cure your illness. It’s truly lamentable!”

Dr. Elijah shook his head and took out a pill, which he fed to the man. His expression was tinged with sadness.

He had been guarding Lorenzo for a full ten years.

During those ten years, he had consulted various ancient texts and tried various methods, but he had never been able to awaken Lorenzo.

The only thing he could do was to preserve her life.

“Master, I have something to tell you.”

“Today, a young man named Dustin came looking for you, but I didn’t know his background, so I sent him away.”

“I can tell that this young man is not ordinary. If he’s an enemy, then we’re in trouble.”
