Chapter 449

Not long after he spat out the dark blood, Hector came around. Although his body was weak, it was a miracle that he'd made it.

As for Peter, when he saw Hector regain consciousness, he admitted defeat and apologized to Dustin sincerely. He said that he'd been foolish to underestimate the power of traditional medicine and that he'd resign from his position after returning to his country to start learning traditional medicine instead.

Dustin decided to let the man be. After all, Peter may be a proud man, but he sincerely respected those who were stronger than him.

The rest of the Harmon family also resumed their activities after making sure that Hector was fine. Quentin, however, made sure to glare at Dustin on his way out.

"How are you feeling, Dad? Are you in pain anywhere?" Ruth walked over to the bed, holding a glass of warm water.

"I'm fine. I just feel slightly bloated." Hector took two sips.

"Duh. Look at the blood you threw up. It's full of maggots!" Ruth told him, shaken.
