Meanwhile, Dahlia sat alone on the hospital bed with a dull gaze and a haggard face. All the crying had tired her out, and her head was so hazy she felt like a zombie. Today’s blow had completely overwhelmed her.
“Dahlia Dustin suddenly walked into the room. His tone was concerned as he asked, “I heard you were admitted to the hospital. Which part of your body is the discomfort coming from? Do you want me to take a look at it?”
Unresponsive, Dahlia sat still like a statue. “What’s wrong, Dahlia?” Dustin waved a hand in front of Dahlia’s face, whose expression remained as emotionless as a lifeless doll. Usually, only devastated people who had lost all hope showed such an expression
Dustin frowned and immediately felt her pulse, only to realize that it was irregular and extremely weak, like a candle that was going to blow out at any moment.
“How did this happen?” Dustin was shocked. He quickly took out his silver needles and began treating Dahlia A stream of true energy started flowing into her body as more needles pierced her.
“Dahlia, wake up!” Dustin yelled as he kept inserting more needles into her body. He had no idea what caused her to turn this way, but he did know that if her condition was not treated soon, she was either going to die or go crazy!
“Wake up!” As he stabbed the last needle into Dahlia’s skin, an abundant stream of true energy flowed out of his body and into Dahlia’s.
It took a moment for Dahlia to come back to her senses and for light to return to her eyes.
“Great!” Dustin let out a breath of relief. He asked worriedly, “What happened, Dahlia? You were-”
Before he could finish his words, Dahlia swiped her hand across his face fiercely, shocking him.
“What?” Dustin frowned and turned to look at her, only to see her trembling as tears filled her eyes.
“Why are you here? I don’t want to see you. Get out!” Dahlia wailed, slapping him again.
This time, however, Dustin caught her hand gently. “What on earth happened, Dahlia?”
“How dare you ask me! Don’t you know what you did?” Dahlia seethed.
“I really don’t. Was there a misunderstanding?” Dustin asked hesitantly.
“Misunderstanding? My brother is dead, yet you tell me there was a misunderstanding?” Dahlia practically roared.
“James is dead?” Dustin paled. “How could this be?”
“You murderer! You killed my brother! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!” Fists rained down on Dustin as Dahlia vented all her anger at him.

“Me? No way.” Dustin was flabbergasted.
“Don’t even try denying it. My brother was hospitalized because of what you did last night. They failed to save him this morning, so he’s dead now!” Dahlia’s face was full of agony.
“Impossible!” Dustin immediately shook his head. “I did slap him a few times last night, but I
made sure to control my strength. It was nowhere near enough to kill him!”
Despite his hatred for James, Dustin would never kill the other man. Yesterday’s actions were merely to teach James a lesson, so how could they have caused his death?
