Scales Of The Dragon's Revenge

CHAPTER 2

"Lux Arden! Are you crazy? You actually hit me for this bitch!"

"Anyone who dares to hurt her deserves nothing but death!" Lux Arden's cold words made Seraphina tremble with fear, biting her lips tightly and not daring to say a word.

Ava was shocked by the scene in front of her. She had always seen how good Lux Arden was to Seraphina.

But today, Lux Arden actually hit Seraphina for her, which made Ava feel a little confused.

But what surprised her even more was yet to come. Lux Arden actually knelt down in front of her in front of everyone!

Ava was so surprised that she covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened in disbelief.

The onlookers were also stunned by this sudden turn of events.

"Do you remember the beggar who almost froze to death on Marlowe Street ten years ago?" Ava frowned and thought carefully, then looked at Lux Arden in surprise and said,

"It's you?" Lux Arden nodded.

"Ava, will you marry me? I promise to make you the happiest woman in the world!" Lux Arden's eyes were burning, his face sincere and serious.

Ava didn't know what had gotten into her, but she nodded in agreement.

Seraphina went crazy and screamed, "Okay, Lux Arden, how dare you embarrass me in front of so many people!"

She struggled to get up from the ground and pointed at Lux Arden, cursing, "Now get back here and kneel in front of me and apologize, beg for my forgiveness! Otherwise, when I see the mighty Black Dragon Sentinel, I will make sure he puts you in prison for life!" Lux Arden didn't even look back, he just coldly said one word.

"Get lost!"

He had long been fed up with Seraphina and her family's rude and overbearing behavior.

If it weren't for his vow to repay his benefactor, he would have left long ago. Now that the truth was revealed, he had no intention of dealing with Seraphina again.

In his eyes, Seraphina was no different than an ant, not worth his attention.

He gently took Ava's delicate and white hand, "Ava, I know a bit of medicine, I should be able to help. Let's go see my mother first." Ava, who was still in a daze, nodded blankly and was led into the car by Lux Arden, heading towards the hospital.

Behind the car, Seraphina, who still felt resentful, rushed onto the road and shouted, "A beggar and a cheap woman who pretends to be innocent and steals other people's husbands, you will not have a good end!"

"Just wait and see, I will make you come back and kneel down to beg for my forgiveness, like a dog!" Lux Arden's car had long since driven away, leaving only a trail of smoke and Seraphina standing alone in silence.

Marlowe City, First Hospital.

In the corridor, a beautiful but still childish young woman sat alone in a wheelchair, her face pale and her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Salome, what are you doing here? Where's Mom?" Ava saw her younger sister Salome sitting alone in the corridor and asked in confusion.

"Sister!" Salome saw her sister Ava and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Salome, what's going on? You have to explain clearly, don't scare your sister." Seeing her younger sister in such a distressed state, Ava was completely flustered.

"Mom just had a sudden cardiac arrest, it was so close! It was so close... Sister, I'm so scared. I'm so Scared that Mom will leave us just like that. Dad is already gone, and I.."

Ava held her sister's head in her arms, gently stroking her hair with trembling hands, comforting her incessantly.

"It's you! What are you doing here!"

"You get out of here, do you hear me? Leave immediately!" Seeing Lux Arden, Salome's bright eyes seemed to burst into flames, as if he wanted to swallow Lux Arden alive.

Salome tightly gripped the wheelchair, with blue veins bulging on the back of her white and tender hands.

Lux Arden was not surprised by Salome's attitude. Although he did not force Salome to jump off the building, he was partly responsible for the incident.

"Salome, don't get agitated. He just wants to take a look at Mom, I'll let him go now." Ava hurriedly stepped forward to appease her.

"Ava, actually I can..."

"What Ava? Did you call her that?"

Just as Lux Arden was about to suggest to Ava to let him take a look at Salome's injuries, he was interrupted by Salome's angry shout.

"What are you arguing about? Do you know this is a hospital?" An elderly man dressed as a doctor came out of the ward with a serious expression and gave the three of them a stern rebuke.

"Wynn, we're sorry. We won't do it again. How's my mom doing?" Upon seeing Ava's apologetic attitude, Wynne the Divine Physician's expression softened a bit.

However, when Ava's mother's condition was mentioned, his brows furrowed again.

"I managed to save her life, but her health has deteriorated significantly. You need to be mentally prepared," Wynn warned.

Ava bit her lip and pleaded, "Wynn the Divine Physician, please, you have to find a way to save my mother."

Wynn shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid there's nothing more I can do for her. Unless my master can come back to life and perform the Nine Palaces Revival Technique, there's only a slim chance."

The sisters were stunned and devastated upon hearing this. Tears welled up in their eyes.

"Don't worry, let me take a look at your mother first," Lux Arden said, trying to ease their sadness.

Wynn looked at Lux Arden skeptically, "Are you a doctor?"

"I guess you could say that."

"What do you mean 'guess'? Which medical school did you graduate from, and how long have you been

practicing medicine?" Wynn was displeased with Lux Arden's casual tone and wanted to know who his teacher was.

He couldn't believe that someone would treat the profession of medicine so lightly.

"I didn't attend medical school. I learned from my master in the mountains for three years," Lux Arden replied frankly.

"This is outrageous! How dare a quack village doctor like you treat people's lives!"

"Who do you think you are, treating people without proper medical training?"

"Get out!" Wynn was furious.

As a physician with many years of experience, he despised rural doctors like Lux Arden.

One by one, these swindlers caused countless broken families and ruined lives.

Upon seeing this, Ava was afraid that Wynn the Divine Physician would leave in anger, so she quickly apologized.

"Wynn the Divine Physician, please calm down. He's only here to visit my mother, I'll make him leave right away." Wynn the Divine Physician snorted coldly and said no more.

However, Lux Arden anxiously pleaded, "Ava, please believe me. I can use the Nine Palace Revival Technique to save your mother. I can cure her."
