The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 483

As Avery was not the type of woman to only talk, she impulsively grabbed a hanger and swung it at Daniel, hitting him squarely on the backside.

"Ow!" Daniel yelped playfully before turning to Avery. "Mom, did you actually hit me?"

"You’re calling me 'Mom,' so isn't it my right to discipline you? You good-for-nothing, get to treating my dad right now. And if you fail, I'll make sure you regret it!" Avery was fierce, more intimidating even than a tigress. She might not have truly believed that Daniel could revive Kind but given that the patient was already declared dead, she was willing to make one last attempt. If a miracle happened and he was saved, great; if not, she'd take out her frustrations on this country bumpkin!

Pork was stunned when he realized that Avery was actually allowing Daniel to continue treating their father. He hastily stood up to protest: "Aunt, you can’t seriously mean that! This country bumpkin is disrespecting Grandpa’s body! As his own daughter, you’re allowing a nobody to insult him. Grandpa won’t rest easy in heaven if you let this happen."

"Uncle, I forgot to tell you something. Though the patient's vital signs may be gone according to modern medicine, his spirit is still inside his body, and his consciousness is present. So, he can hear every word you say very clearly. And after my first needle, the patient is already aware that I'm trying to save him. If you continue to stop me from treating him, it means you don't want him to live! When the patient wakes, he'll be the first to slap you for this!"

"You country fool! You have no shame; corners have been cut and you're still putting on airs?"

"Bragging? In other matters, I may indulge, but not when it comes to healing the sick. A doctor's heart is compassionate. All I've got is a pure intention to heal. As long as there is the faintest thread of life, I will do everything in my power to save it. Even if you forbid me, I must save the patient!"
