The Dragon Seal

Everyone could not believe their eyes.

The great Doctor Zander, the president of the Medical Association, Howard Zander, was kneeling in front of Augustus, a man who lived in his wife's house, and even called him 'Doctor Cross'?

That was simply unimaginable!

"Doctor Zander, are… are you mistaken? Augustus is just a man who married into our Harrington family. When did he become a doctor?"

"Yes, you're the best doctor in Halmont City!"

When Howard saw the attitudes of the Harrington family, he knew that they must have been bullying Augustus a lot in their daily lives, and he became a little angry.

"Just a man who married into your family? You lot must be blind! Doctor Cross's medical skills are more than enough to herald him as a Sage Doctor. As long as Doctor Cross is here, no one else is qualified to be called the best doctor in Halmont!"

Howard said sternly, but the Harrington family were dumbfounded. Their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

Doctor Cross?

Sage Doctor?

Was this really the Augustus Cross they knew?

Howard ignored them and looked at Augustus again.

Howard had been lucky. After Clara Jones had been saved by Augustus on the street yesterday, she mobilized the Jones family forces to find Augustus's whereabouts and finally found him this morning.

Almost at the same time, Howard also received the news that his grandson Jace Zander developed a form of skin cancer, melanoma, which had reached the end stage!

This disease was a type of terminal illness, and even Howard could not do anything about it.

In his desperation, he suddenly thought of Augustus.

Howard once saw a case of melanoma being cured in an ancient book named [Ghost Remedies] from the Jin Dynasty. In the book, the disease was cured using a technique similar to Augustus's meridian resonance!

In other words, Augustus was Howard's only hope now!

"Doctor Cross, my grandson Jace suddenly developed melanoma. Only you can save his life. Please, help him!"

Howard knelt on the ground and begged again.

The Harrington family were terrified. There were very few people in Halmont that could make the great Doctor Zander kneel before them.

Although they did not know how Augustus did it, they knew very clearly that right now, the Harrington family had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Carter was just an ordinary elite member of the Medical Association, but he was already able to seal contracts worth 20 million for Harrington Corporation. If he could build connections with Howard, the president of the Medical Association, then Harrington Corporation will soar to the heavens!

Old Madam Harrington had always been a shrewd person and would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. She immediately chided Augustus, "Augustus, what are you doing? Hurry up and kneel and thank Doctor Zander for giving you such a good opportunity!"

The rest of the Harrington family then snapped back to their senses and urged Augustus to thank Howard.

In their view, it was Augustus's honor that Howard came to him for help. The one who should say thanks was not Doctor Zander, but Augustus.

After all, not everyone could have such a good opportunity to befriend the dean of Halmont Medical Academy!

However, they did not expect Augustus to look at Howard calmly.

"Sorry, but I can't cure your grandson's illness."

The simple sentence made the Harrington family explode.

After all, he was facing Howard Zander!

With just one word from Howard, it could help Harrington Corporation soar to the skies. Similarly, Howard could make it so there was no place for Harrington Corp to stay in Halmont City.

However, Augustus unexpectedly dared to reject this person in such a tone. He was simply too reckless!

"You shameful b*stard! Doctor Zander asked you for help because he thinks highly of you, and you dare be unappreciative? You're absolutely shameless!"

Old Madam Harrington stomped her feet in anger and slammed her cane on the ground so hard that it broke.

Carter was also furious. "That's right, you're just a good-for-nothing who married into your wife's family. How dare you be rude to Doctor Zander? Hurry up and kneel and apologize to him!"

"That's right, kneel and apologize!"

Everyone in the Harrington family was filled with indignation, as if they were enemies of Augustus.

Even Jeanne painstakingly persuaded him. "Augustus, hurry up and apologize. Go and treat Doctor Zander's grandson!"

In Jeanne's view, this was an opportunity for Augustus to change his fortune in the Harrington family and make the Harrington family perceive him differently.

However, Jeanne could not understand Augustus's current emotions.

Augustus heard clearly that the patient was none other than Jace Zander.

It was the person who caused him to drop out of school, forced him to kneel and prostrate himself, punched and kicked him, and trampled on his dignity underfoot!

Augustus was not a saint and he was not that magnanimous. Jace tormented him yesterday but needed his help today, but Augustus was unable to disregard the past and just help him.

He could not do it!

Augustus looked at Howard and said, "Doctor Zander, as you can see, I'm just a man who lives with his wife's family. I'm just a coward who can be bullied by anyone. I can't save your grandson. You should ask somebody else!"

The Harrington family was completely dumbfounded. They did not expect that Augustus, who usually kept his voice down and let people take advantage of him, would actually dare to go against them today!
