The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 507

As Asher finished speaking, Nikolai’s expression shifted noticeably. First, he glanced at Owen and Johnny, then turned his attention back to his younger son. His eyes were clearly tinged with disappointment. “Have all those years of medical training been for nothing?”

Asher furrowed his brow, catching the implication. Quickly, he retorted, “Dane mentioned before that some sophisticated poisons can’t be detected by standard tests. Besides, Dane’s antidote is a Class B, and we can’t know its effectiveness without trying it out.”

After a brief pause, Asher added, “Instead of waiting cluelessly, why not give the patient a fighting chance?”

“You think you’re making sense?” Nikolai trembled with anger. If everyone held that attitude, what was the point of having a doctor?

Asher pursed his lips, ready to argue, but a stern look from Dane silenced him. Dane hadn’t expected his brother to be so thoughtless. Though Asher’s latter statements held merit, the essence of practicing medicine was responsibility, and one slip could spell disaster.

Resigning to the moment, Dane placed the detox pill he had taken out back into the bottle. He turned to Johnny and Owen. “I apologize for the spectacle. My father is right; we can’t administer any medication with an unknown diagnosis.”

“You are too polite, Mr. Dane. Mr. Asher spoke out of concern for our master’s health,” Johnny said, noticing the pill being put away, feeling a tinge of regret. He knew better than to take medicine recklessly. But now, even grasping at straws seemed worth the attempt.

“Let’s do another blood test then,” Dane decided after some thought.
