An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1386

Chapter 1386: Return It

“Mr. Kevin, I heard that your father has awakened, is that correct?” Dustin spoke again.

Unintentionally, his address had changed.

“Yes, Father is indeed awake, but he’s still a bit weak and somewhat disoriented. I think he’ll need some time to recuperate,” Kevin replied.

“Don’t worry, those are just some aftereffects; he’ll recover soon.”

“Madam Sophia, I recall that you didn’t say that when we made the deal earlier,” Dustin shook his head.

“The best spirit medicines are not readily available. It’s not a matter of just having them. Be patient, and when we have news, we will certainly inform you,” Sophia said expressionlessly.

“Wait? I’m afraid if I keep waiting, I won’t have a life left,” Dustin chuckled sarcastically.

“Very well, it seems that I can’t rely on the Torby family. In that case, let’s part ways for now,” Dustin said and turned to walk toward the door.

“Stop!”
