The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 472

"Shut up!" Avery chastised Daniel once more, then turned her attention back to Kind's bed, deciding to ignore what she regarded as Daniel's inane chatter. After all, having a playful and mischievous 'son' like Daniel was proving to be quite entertaining.

By this point, Professor John had already injected the entirety of the medication into Kind’s bloodstream and removed the needle. Avery watched anxiously and asked, "Professor John, how is he now?"

"Rest assured, Avery," the professor assured her confidently. "The new medicine I developed is nothing short of miraculous. In less than a minute, you will see the patient wake up and open his eyes."

As soon as Professor John finished speaking, numbers on the display screens started to change. The steadily rising figures indicated that Kind's condition was beginning to improve.

Down was ecstatic, seeing the numbers as a validation of his efforts to impress Avery. He had brought Professor John here to prove his worth, ensuring a chance for Avery to consider him as a worthy suitor for her daughter. Three years ago, a single glance at Jessica had left Down utterly smitten; since that day, she haunted even his dreams.

"Avery, look at the screens. He's being saved. Professor John truly deserves his title as the finest healer on the planet!" Down declared triumphantly.

"Down, you really are despicable," Daniel spat out with disdain. "Crowning him the world's greatest doctor? His first attempt is about to kill the patient. How could that qualify him as the finest doctor out there?"

"You country boy, stop talking nonsense," Down retorted. "What do you mean he's going to kill the patient? Open your eyes and look at the screens. Can't you see all the numbers are improving?"
