An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1284

Chapter 1284 The Powerful Energy Seal

Dr. Elijah fixed his gaze on Dustin, as if trying to discern something from his expression. However, he couldn’t find any flaws, and he became more cautious.

“Why should I trust you?” Dr. Elijah said warily.

“Dr Grantwood, if I were here for revenge, I could easily kill both of you,” Dustin replied calmly, his fingers flicking as he released a burst of energy.

In the next moment, a vase on the windowsill exploded with a loud “bang,” and shards scattered all over the floor.

“Ah?”

Dr. Elijah blinked, his face showing a solemn expression.

Being able to shatter a vase from a distance with energy clearly indicated that Dustin possessed martial arts skills. If he truly had malicious intentions, Dr Grantwood would be defenseless.

Therefore, he had no choice now.

“Dr Grantwood, I apologize for any offense. Please forgive me.” Dustin bowed again.

“Very well! I will temporarily trust that you came here out of gratitude. However, it’s a pity that you have come too late.”

Dr. Elijah stepped aside, his gaze falling on Lorenzo on the bed. He said, “Lorenzo has been in a vegetative state for ten years now, and I have tried various methods, but he has yet to wake up.”

“Dr Grantwood, let me try. I am proficient in some esoteric medical techniques, and I might be able to help,” Dustin said as he walked to the bedside.

“You?”

Dr. Elijah shook his head. “Young man, it’s not that I look down on you, but Lorenzo’s condition is far from simple. His body contains a powerful energy that I have been unable to dissipate to this day. I can only rely on elixirs to keep him alive.”

Ten years ago, Lorenzo’s injuries had been severe, resulting in a significant loss of vital energy and nearly complete organ failure.

Although Dr. Elijah had managed to prolong his life, it was only a temporary solution and couldn’t bring him back to consciousness.

Moreover, there was a formidable energy within Lorenzo’s body that he had been unable to neutralize, causing continuous damage to his meridians.
