The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 268 I Believe in You

Seeing Gabriel obstructing him from saving Liam, Daniel felt obligated to remind him of his responsibility. "Liam is in a state of suspended animation. His body may appear dead, but his consciousness is still there. He can hear everything happening right now. So if you continue to stop me, you're effectively trying to murder Liam! You don't want me to save him because it would show that you're nothing more than an incompetent doctor who can't save lives but only claim them!"

Enraged, Gabriel turned beet red. Pointing at Daniel's nose, he retorted, "You... you swindler, how dare you accuse me of being incompetent?"

"If you're not incompetent, then why is Liam, a living man, now dead by your hands?"

"What do you mean by saying I've made him dead? Liam had a pre-existing heart condition! He suffered a sudden deterioration, and unfortunately, we missed the window for the first aid. Any doctor would have chosen the treatment I did!"

"And if it wasn’t for your adrenaline shot, how could Liam have died so swiftly?"

"You... you’re talking nonsense!"

Gabriel was defiant, but deep down, he knew Daniel was right. He was well aware that Liam’s death was indeed due to the injection he administered. Nonetheless, his choice of treatment was by no means wrong; Liam’s demise was simply fate.

Tired of arguing with Gabriel, Daniel turned to Abigail. "Do you want your dad to live?"

"Of course, I do!"

"Then step aside, don't block my way."

"What are you going to do?"

"Save your dad!" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"Can you really do it?"

"A man can't say he can't. You get me? If someone says he can't, then he’s not a man."

Daniel prepared his Needle of the Seven Dragons and got ready to administer it to Liam. Abigail intervened hastily, "Your needle looks dirty and grimy. Aren’t you going to wash it or sterilize it first?"

Before Daniel could respond, Gabriel couldn't resist grabbing the opportunity to discredit Daniel. "It doesn’t really matter since he’s just fooling around for fun. He's merely defiling the corpse, not sincerely trying to revive your father."

Gabriel's comment made Daniel pause. He looked seriously at Abigail and asked earnestly, "Do you believe in me?"

"I... I'm not sure."

"You don't trust me to save your dad, but you trust this quack who killed him? Fine, then I won't interfere. It's your dad who's dead, not mine!"

With that, Daniel put away his needle. In response, Abigail panicked and hastily expressed her faith, "I believe in you! I believe in you! Please save my dad, you must bring him back!"

Even though Abigail felt cornered and had her doubts about this person being able to save her father, she had no other option but to take a gamble.

"Abigail, you've been deceived by this swindler. Your father is dead; not even God could bring him back. This man must be harboring ulterior motives; you must be careful!"
