“Of course! That’s a blue jadeite, and it’s also an antique that’s worth a fortune!” Garrett snapped.
“Worth a fortune? What a treasure!” The middle-aged man’s face lit up with joy as he carefully put away
the pendant.
“We left in a hurry, so I didn’t manage to bring anything else with me. The pendant is valuable, so I
hope you’ll like it,” Grace said with a slight smile.
“Miss, considering your sincerity, I’ll pass on the message. But whether Mr. Zaeske decides to see you
is beyond my control,” the middle-aged man said cautiously.
“Thank you.” Grace nodded slightly.
“Alright, please wait a moment,” the middle-aged man said and entered the courtyard.
After three minutes, he reappeared with a smile on his face. “Miss, Mr. Zaeske has agreed to see you.

“Garrett, please keep watch here. I’ll be going in with Dustin,” Grace instructed. She then headed inside
with Dustin.
Ryan lay unconscious inside a bedroom, his face pale. The village chief, Kayson Zaeske, was by his
bedside, discussing his condition with a village doctor.
“Bob, is there really no hope of saving this young man?” Kayson’s expression was somber.
As the only survivor to emerge from the oasis alive, Ryan was an extremely valuable person. He could
bring prosperity to the village if he played his cards well.
“Mr. Zaeske, this young man is seriously injured and has also been extensively poisoned. I lack the
skills to treat him.” The village doctor shook his head. He was adept at managing minor ailments but
found himself utterly helpless when faced with perplexing conditions.
“It seems like we’ll have to send him to the hospital.” Kayson frowned.
“Mr. Zaeske, our village is at least a day’s journey from the hospital in the city. With his current
condition, he might not be able to make it,” Bob said with a sigh.
“We’ll have to try. We don’t have any other options.” Kayson was helpless. The money bag that was at
hand was now on the verge of death. It was a pity.
“Mr. Zaeske, my friend here is highly skilled in medicine. Why don’t you let him try?” Grace suddenly
said, arriving at the door.
“I heard from Paco that you’re friends with this young man?” Kayson probed.

Kayson.
“Hahaha… You’re quite good with words.” Kayson grinned widely.
“Mr. Zaeske, Ryan’s in critical condition. It’s probably too late to send him to the hospital now. My friend
has been studying medicine since young and specializes in various complicated illnesses. Perhaps he
can help heal Ryan.” Grace shifted the focus to Dustin.
“He’s quite young.” Kayson scrutinized Dustin skeptically.
Their conventional thinking had led them to believe that older doctors possessed higher medical skills.
Convincing them of Dustin’s capabilities when he was only in his 20s would prove to be a challenge.
“I may be young, but it doesn’t diminish my skills. I’m confident of waking Ryan up within 10 minutes,”
Dustin said calmly, looking extremely confident.
