An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 954

Natasha's peaceful expression was like a knife stabbing Dustin's heart.

He hated himself for causing her to end up like this, and he hated himself for being unable to save her.

If he could turn time back, he would switch things around.

"Hang on! Switch?" Dustin perked up when he thought of something.

He looked at Linden and asked, "Dr. Watkins, do you have any Resurgothorn left? I want to save her by exchanging our lives!"

"Don't be foolish!" Linden scolded him, frowning.

"Do you think Resurgathorn is food? It's not readily available.

"Besides, Ms. Harmon sacrificed herself for you. The least you could do to make her sacrifice worthwhile is to live properly!"

"I don't want her to sacrifice herself. I just need her to be alive!" Dustin roared with bloodshot eyes.

"I don't care what I must do and what price I must pay. I just need her to come back to life!"

Dustin begged, "Please, Dr. Watkins. You're the best doctor I know. Please help me save her!"

He fell to his knees in front of Linden.

"You—" Linden was exasperated and tried to pull Dustin up, but Dustin refused to budge.

After a moment of hesitation, Linden gave in. "Fine. I might as well tell you the truth.

"Although Ms. Harmon is practically dead, there's still a way to save her."

"What is it?" Dustin lit up excitedly.

"Technically, Ms. Harmon should have died immediately after absorbing the poison in your body. But Resurgathorn and Septemortis seem to counter each other.

"So, the effects of the poisons were reduced by half, allowing her to remain alive for so long," Linden explained.

"There are two ways to save her. First, you'll need Phoenixwort. Secondly, you'll need to find a Shadowbloom.
