The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 976

Damian pressed his fingers against Aaron's wrist, checking his pulse, but after what felt like ages, he couldn’t find any useful information. Aaron’s condition was just too chaotic.

Noticing Damian’s furrowed brow and silence, Daniel chimed in, “Damian, are you starting to believe that Aaron is under divine punishment and not dealing with some parasite?”

Damian’s anger flared up at Daniel’s unwelcome interruption. “You’re just a country doctor! What gives you the right to challenge me? With your skills, you should be tending to the pets of old folks in your village, not diagnosing serious illnesses. Do you even know what a parasite is? Can you treat that type of sickness? If you don’t know anything, you should really just keep quiet!

You think Aaron is being punished by God? Is every illness you can’t cure just divine punishment in your little village? That’s a convenient excuse for failure!”

“Ha!” Daniel scoffed.

“Of course, I know!” Damian declared, confidently puffing out his chest. “I’m a top doctor in D.C.! If I can’t handle a simple parasite infection, then what am I even doing here?”
