“Dr. Bloomer, you should be more careful when prescribing medication.”
“Yeah, we trusted you and came to your clinic for treatment. Now, there’s a fatality. What are we supposed to do?”
“With something like this happening, who would dare to come to the clinic in the future? This is harming people!”
“I think it’s better to settle quickly and pay compensation. Otherwise, they might sue you, and your losses will be even greater in court.”
The onlookers sighed repeatedly. Because Leo was usually nice to them, they still spoke somewhat politely. However, witnessing such an incident made them a bit uneasy. Fortunately, today it was Mr. Rossetti’s head lying there, not one of them.
Mr. Rossetti’s son, seeing everyone speaking against Leo and noticing Leo’s grim expression, became even more arrogant. He coldly said, “Leo Bloomer, you can’t deny it now. Let me tell you, either compensate with ten million, or you’ll rot in jail!”
Leo ignored Mr. Rossetti’s son because he noticed that Mr. Rossetti’s pulse had disappeared. Leo quickly opened Mr. Rossetti’s mouth, checked, and then crouched down to listen to Mr. Rossetti’s chest.
Finally, Leo stood up from the ground, sighed, picked up the prescription from the floor, and looked at Mr. Rossetti’s son, saying coldly, “My prescription clearly states that no other medication should be taken during the consumption of the Chinese medicine I prescribe. Why did you give your father other medication!?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. My dad only took the Chinese medicine you prescribed, absolutely no other drugs!” Mr. Rossetti’s son immediately retorted.
Leo’s expression turned cold as he replied, “Since you’re so sure, take your father, and let’s go to the hospital for an autopsy. I can assure you that through a blood test, we can definitely determine if your father took licorice. Licorice conflicts with senega. Whoever gave the elderly licorice is the one who caused his death!”
Hearing Leo’s confident words, Mr. Rossetti’s son couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious. If it turned out, as Leo said, that he had given his father other medication, the responsibility would be his. In the end, not only would he not get compensation, but his father would have died in vain.
Mr. Rossetti’s son carefully thought about it, confirming that he hadn’t given his father any other medication.
At this moment, Mr. Rossetti’s daughter, who had been kneeling and crying, suddenly stood up. She pointed at the goatee man angrily and exclaimed, “It’s this guy! This guy killed our dad!”
Now, everyone’s gaze focused on the goatee man.
The goatee man was stunned for a moment, then quickly argued, “You, don’t falsely accuse me. This has nothing to do with me!”
“Nonsense! How could it have nothing to do with you? A couple of days ago, I accompanied my dad here, and we bought a bottle of tonic wine from you. My dad specifically asked you, as he was taking Chinese medicine, would drinking your wine cause any adverse reactions. You confidently said there would be no adverse reactions! It must be your wine that killed my dad!”
The woman’s words made the goatee man’s face drastically change. His eyes shifted, and he tried to slip away.
Chasel acted swiftly, grabbing the goatee man by his collar and pulling him back.
After kicking the goatee man to the ground, Chasel took his messenger bag and emptied its contents onto the floor.
Seven or eight small bottles rolled out, containing an orange-yellow liquid, presumably the so-called tonic wine.
Chasel picked up a bottle from the ground and handed it to Leo.
Leo took it, opened the cap, and sniffed. He frowned and said, “There is indeed licorice in this health wine.”
“Nonsense! There’s never any licorice in my health wine!” the goatee man insisted.
“Is that so? Will you dare to take your so-called tonic wine to a professional institution for chemical analysis?” Leo sneered.
The goatee man dared not speak.
Seeing this, the crowd’s opinion immediately changed.
“I knew Dr. Bloomer is a trustworthy traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. How could he prescribe the wrong medicine?”
“No matter how you put it, if you don’t follow medical advice when taking medicine, it’s your fault.”
“You’re all wrong; it’s this charlatan, the goatee man! I also bought two bottles of wine from him yesterday, planning to drink it today. What a stroke of luck!”
“This swindler who harms both heaven and earth, we should arrest him and take him to the police station!”
The excited crowd immediately swarmed towards the goatee man, pinning him to the ground.
Having found the real culprit, Mr. Rossetti’s son no longer dared to target Leo. He turned his anger towards the goatee man, saying, “You deceitful quack, you owe my father’s life!”
After kicking the goatee man, Mr. Rossetti’s son called his relatives, lifted Mr. Rossetti’s body from the ground, and prepared to leave the clinic.
Leo signaled to Chasel, who intercepted Mr. Rossetti’s son.
“What do you want?” Mr. Rossetti’s son seemed somewhat afraid of Chasel.
Chasel said, “You broke the glass door of our clinic and are leaving just like that. Isn’t it inappropriate?”
“How much? I’ll compensate!” Mr. Rossetti’s son could only admit his mistake.
“One thousand dollars,” Chasel named a price.
Mr. Rossetti’s son looked at Mr. Rossetti’s daughter and said, “Sis, give him the money.”
Mr. Rossetti’s daughter took out her wallet, handed a thousand dollars to Chasel, and only then did Chasel step aside.
After this group left, the onlookers quickly dispersed without the excitement to watch.
Leo looked in the direction where the group left, feeling somewhat absent-minded.
Monica walked to Leo’s side and curiously asked, “Dr. Bloomer, what are you thinking?”
“I’m thinking, it would be great if we could bring Mr. Rossetti back to life,” Leo replied.
Monica chuckled, “My God! Dr. Bloomer, people can’t come back to life. Even if your medical skills are miraculous, reviving the dead is beyond your reach, right?”
Leo just smiled.
Only Leo knew deep down that if his cultivation reached the level of a spiritual sage, he could indeed bring Mr. Rossetti back to life.
