“Listen. I’ll give you a prescription: one spoonful of pot-bottom ash and two dog tail grasses. Mix these two with water and drink it three times a day before meals. Oh, and change your pillow when you get home,” Robin said while inserting needles.
Pot-bottom ash? Dog tail grass?
Scales Styles was stunned. However, he was not a doctor and thought that since it was a rare disease, the treatment must be strange. With this thought, he believed that the weird prescription could indeed save him. Immediately, he kowtowed again, “Thank you, doctor.” And then he ran away, needing to take the medicine immediately to save his life.
“You!” Favian Bird, watching Scales Styles leave, was furious and wanted to teach him a lesson. However, with Jeff Reczek guarding nearby, a single glance was enough to deter him.
“Rosey, I did all this for you because I love you,” Favian Bird persisted, taking a step forward, pretending to express his true feelings, hoping to give it one last try.
But as expected, Rosey Chambers stepped back, her almond-shaped eyes filled with disgust. “Favian Bird, you disgust me. I thought you had become a decent person, but you’re actually like this.” It wasn’t just disgust – she also felt hatred. Her grandmother was her closest family, and Favian Bird had starved her for so many days, pushing her to the brink of death.
“Rosey.”
“Don’t call me that. I hate you.” At this point, Rosey Chambers understood that this was all a play, a play specifically targeting her.
“Rosey Chambers, do you truly refuse to forgive me?” A hint of ferocity flashed across Favian Bird’s face before he waved his hand dismissively. “Do you know how long your grandmother has been staying in this SVIP suite? Four whole days. Do you have any idea how much the various expenses add up to? Almost six hundred thousand dollars. You have to pay that today, or your grandmother isn’t going to leave.”
Robin looked up, playing his final card. When he had arrived earlier, he had noticed the exorbitant price of the suite, and it turned out it was all part of the scheme.
No matter whether the plan could succeed or not, this move was a trump card. If they ultimately didn’t succeed, Rosey Chambers would have to pay, a lot of money that she didn’t have. If she didn’t have it, her grandmother would suffer. It was a two-pronged approach, all to pressure Rosey Chambers.
“I…” Rosey Chambers took a step back, her face somewhat pale. Six hundred thousand was an astronomical number for a girl from the countryside. She had saved for so long just to have a thousand dollars. Six hundred thousand was unimaginable.
“Rosey, think carefully. Will you come to me or not?” Favian Bird’s eyes bore down on Rosey Chambers oppressively. Since the truth was out, he didn’t mind tearing off the mask of pretense. After all, Rosey Chambers had no other options. She had to comply.
“You!” Rosey Chambers took another step back.
“Refusing, huh?” Favian Bird took out his phone and made a call, “Dr. Turner, come up here.”
Soon, a greasy middle-aged man with a bald head and a beer belly, wearing a white coat, walked up. As soon as he arrived, he looked at Favian Bird, “Mr. Bird, what happened?”
“They don’t want to pay.” Favian Bird pointed at Rosey Chambers and her grandmother.
“Don’t want to pay?” Dr. Turner suddenly became furious. He managed the finances of the hospital and always liked to skim a little off the top from the fees they paid, as he was the one in charge. But if they didn’t pay, he couldn’t get any money, and the accounts wouldn’t add up either.
Seeing a young girl, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to intimidate her. However, clang, a burly man blocked his way.
“What are you doing?” Dr. Turner softened up when he saw the man. He looked fierce, and his muscular body was intimidating.
“This way is blocked.” Jeff Reczek gave him a look that scared him into retreating. His murderous aura, born from killing countless people, was not something ordinary people could withstand.
Now, Dr. Turner dared not get angry, but he couldn’t just let the money go. He changed his tone and said earnestly, “Young lady, it’s only fair to pay back what you owe, right? Your grandmother stayed in our ward; that’s a fact. If you don’t pay, I can’t do anything.”
“I… I don’t have that much… only a thousand dollars.” Rosey Chambers took out her cloth bag.
Dr. Turner almost fainted when he saw it. One thousand dollars, compared to six hundred thousand, was too little. He stepped back and his face turned fierce, “Young lady, if you don’t pay, I’ll call the police. Then you and your grandmother will end up in jail.”
Jail? Rosey Chambers turned pale at the thought. It wasn’t so much a problem for her, but her over-seventy-year-old grandmother wouldn’t be able to handle it. She might even die in prison. Rosey couldn’t let her grandmother, who had raised her since childhood, suffer in her old age.
“Rosey, have you thought it through? If you have, come here. I’ll pay, and you’ll be my woman.” Favian Bird opened his arms, making a hugging gesture, waiting for Rosey Chambers. He believed Rosey Chambers would come to his embrace because she was a devoted granddaughter.
“I…” Rosey Chambers hesitated for a while before she began to walk toward Favian Bird. She had no choice; she really couldn’t let her elderly grandmother go to jail. She could only do this.
“Come.” Seeing Rosey Chambers coming toward him, Favian Bird’s eyes flashed with excitement. Although the plan had been exposed, he still got Rosey Chambers, the famous pure and innocent beauty from the university.
However, just as she was about to take the final step, a voice rang out.
“Who told you to go there? Come back!” A fierce voice sounded.
Rosey Chambers stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Robin. The fierce voice belonged to Robin.
“What do you want now?” Favian Bird glared at Robin with anger-filled eyes. This guy had ruined his plans again.
“Kid, she has to pay,” Dr. Turner also turned his attention to Robin.
“Six hundred thousand, right? I’ll pay.” Robin threw out a card, tossing it in front of Dr. Turner.
Dr. Turner immediately swiped the card with his card reader, and a crisp sound rang out: “Transaction complete, six hundred thousand dollars…”
“Hmph, at least you know what’s good for you.” Dr. Turner snorted, feeling excited internally. With such a large sum, he could think about how many kickbacks he would receive and how many young girls he could find. He immediately turned around, intending to leave.
However, at that moment, Robin spoke up again.
“We’ve paid the money. Now, isn’t it time to discuss compensation? Your doctors maliciously detained patients, abused them, and schemed to harm them for money. We are now asking for a hundred million for compensation, please tell me, would you prefer cash or card?”
