“Huh?” Caden’s sudden awakening stunned everyone in the room, especially Vivian. She shook her
head in disbelief. “He’s awake! My dad is awake!” Sheila cheered.
“He actually woke up? Is that punk’s medical skill so amazing?” The group exchanged bewildered
glances. They were shocked. Even Rudolph couldn’t find a cure for Caden’s illness, but Dustin had
healed him.
“Vivian, any comment? Do you agree now that Dustin’s abilities are amazing? Sheila asked proudly.
“Um…” Vivian blushed in embarrassment. She had just made a bold statement and was now proven

“What’s going on? Why am I here?” Caden, looking confused and in discomfort, tried to sit up despite
the pain.
“Dad, you were in a very serious condition, and Dustin saved you!” Sheila explained. Caden furrowed
his brow. “Dustin saved me? How is that possible?”
“It’s true!” Sheila insisted. “Without him, you might not have survived.”

Caden asserted.
He continued, “He’s got to be behind this! First, he drugged me, then showed up like some hero to
save the day. Next thing you know, he’s our family’s savior and uses that to climb the social ladder.
That kid is definitely up to no good!”

and now he suspected Dustin’s involvement.
“Dad! Why are you saying that? Dustin is not that kind of person!” Sheila defended.
“I agree with Uncle Caden,” Jayden said, sounding serious. “We shouldn’t underestimate someone like

“Yeah! What he did is inexcusable!”
“We must get rid of Dustin!”
Everyone joined in to show their anger. Under Caden’s influence, Dustin, the person who had rescued
him, was now seen as an outcast.
