An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 951

"I know how you feel, Ms. Harmon. But the effects of the poison are too strong.

"I've tried everything, but nothing worked. I'm really sorry." Linden sighed.

He cared a lot about Dustin and even planned to make Dustin his successor. It was unfortunate that Dustin had been poisoned with an incurable poison.

"T—that's impossible!" Natasha began to panic. Nobody stood a chance if even Linden was unable to cure Dustin.

"Hang on!" Natasha suddenly recalled something.

"Dr. Watkins, I heard Stoneray Order has a magical herb called 'Resurgathorn'. It can revive someone when mixed with a secret recipe. Is that true?"

"Resurgathorn?" Linden frowned when he heard this.

"Ms. Harmon, that is something that is forbidden. We mustn't use it."

"Why not? Are you worried that we won't be able to pay up?" Natasha was anxious.

"It has nothing to do with money."

Linden shook his head before explaining, "Resurgathorn isn't a medical herb. Rather, it's a highly potent poison that's difficult to use.

"Doctors are forbidden from using it."

"I don't care if it's a medical herb or poison as long as it can save Dustin. Just tell me what I have to do." Natasha was unfazed by Linden's explanation.

"If we use Resurgathorn in his current condition, we'll have to risk another person's life. All the poison in Mr. Rhys' body will be transferred to the other person's.

"It means we're exchanging one life for another," Linden said sadly.

"Exchanging one life for another?" Many paled when they heard that.

The cost of treating Dustin was far greater than they had expected.

"That's merely one of the conditions. Not everyone has the right criteria to sacrifice themselves," Linden continued.
