The Dragon Seal

Chapter 10 - A Doctor’s Heart

When Howard heard Augustus's answer, he felt disappointed and puzzled.

Yesterday on the street, Augustus was able to help a random passerby. It did not make sense that he would refuse directly when Howard took the initiative to come to his door for help!

Then, Howard finally figured out that the reason Augustus refused him was likely related to the Harrington family!

It was very possible that Augustus refused him because he was angry at the Harrington family!

At that thought, Howard already had a plan in mind.

"I understand, Doctor Cross. It was my fault for springing this on you out of nowhere. Please don't blame me for that. I'll take my leave now!"

Then, Howard got up and left without saying more.

"You shameless thing, how dare you offend Doctor Zander?! Are you trying to anger me to death?!"

As soon as Howard left, Old Madam Harrington exploded like a thunderstorm.

"Grandma, I think not only he wants to anger you to death but to ruin the entire Harrington family!"

Carter pointed at Augustus and said, "Do you know who Doctor Zander is? Not only is he the dean of Halmont Medical Academy, he's also the president of the Medical Association! If you offend him, Harrington Corporation will be in an extremely difficult situation in Halmont City!"

After Carter's words were spoken, everyone else in the Harrington family became furious too.

"Augustus, you can't achieve anything and instead bring ruin to us!"

"It's bad enough that you didn't help him, but you even caused trouble for the Harrington family!"

"The contracts that Carter tried so hard to get will be ruined by you!"

"Grandma, we can't let him off lightly!"

"Yes, we can't let him off lightly!"

Cutting off a person's financial resources was like killing their parents. At that moment, Augustus incurred the wrath of the Harrington family.

Looking at their furious expressions, Augustus smiled helplessly.

"You guys are the ones who said that I'm just a piece of trash who didn't even finish uni, yet you want me to treat the grandson of the great Doctor Zander? Don't you find yourselves contradictory?"

The Harrington family exchanged glances and was speechless for a moment.

"Shut your mouth!"

Old Madam Harrington flew into a rage.

"Since you're just an ingrate who doesn't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless. From today onwards, the monthly dividends for your family will be cut off!"

"What…"

Jeanne and Liane froze in place.

Their family's biggest source of income was the monthly dividends from Harrington Corporation. Now that it was being cut off, it was a disaster for their family!

Augustus frowned immediately. "The fault lies with me, why are you punishing Jeanne?"

Old Madam Harrington snorted coldly. "A useless man like you doesn't have a say in how I deal with her!"

"That's right. If Jeanne wants to blame anyone, then she should blame you. Let's see if you dare to act as you please again!"

Carter's expression was smug.

Liane was already displeased with Augustus in the first place, and now, she looked at Augustus as if she wanted to eat him alive.

"This is all your fault!"

Augustus did not expect to cause so much trouble for Jeanne's family and also felt guilty in his heart.

"Don't worry, Jeanne. I'll find a way regarding the money!"

Before this, Augustus might not be able to give Jeanne happiness, but now that he had amazing medical skills, it was bound to be much easier to make money.

It was a pity that no one was willing to believe him.

Carter took the opportunity to taunt him, "You're just a man who lives with his wife's family and has nothing without the Harringtons. What are you going to do? It'll be good enough if whatever you think of can prevent Jeanne from starving along with you!"

"That's right, Jeanne should've left this kind of man a long time ago. I don't know how you've lived all these years!"

Wendy looked sympathetic, but she was actually provoking them.

The couple's words were like pouring oil on the fire, making Jeanne furious.

"Let's go!"

Jeanne picked Skylar up and turned to leave.

Liane and Owen also glared at Augustus before leaving in resentment.

"Jeanne, Skylar!"

Augustus chased after them but saw that Jeanne had already driven the car away.

Augustus sighed. He knew that Jeanne was truly angry this time!

Just as he went to the roadside to get a bike-sharing bicycle to go home, a black Audi A8 suddenly stopped in front of him, and the person who came out was none other than Howard Zander!

"You again?"

"Doctor Cross, I'm here again for my grandson. He's in critical condition. Please help save him! I'm begging you!"

Howard knelt again as he spoke, tears flowing from his eyes.

Seeing Howard like this, even Augustus could not bear it.

Even if he had a grudge, it was with Jace and had nothing to do with Howard.

Augustus really could not bear to see an old man fall into despair because of his grandson. It was the same despair he felt with his daughter before.

"Doctor Zander, let me ask you, if a stranger had a disease and you were the only one in the world who could save her, would you be willing to travel thousands of miles to help her immediately?"

"I'm a doctor. Of course I'd be willing!"

Howard's face was resolute and sincere. He was clearly not saying it to be perfunctory.

Augustus nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, I can try to cure your grandson's illness!"
