"Mrs. Ramos, what can I do for you? Anything you need help with?" Nelson said, trying to please her.
"That guy is here to get medicine, right? I want you to hold him back for a while and not let him escape!" Mrs. Ramos said with a sinister expression.
"No problem! Don't worry, leave it to me!" Nelson replied confidently.
He was secretly pleased and couldn't wait for what was about to happen.
After giving instructions to Nelson, Mrs. Ramos went out to make a phone call.
"Honey, someone bullied me!" she cried on the phone.
"They forced me down on my knees! I don't want to live anymore..." she continued whining
"Okay! Bring some people over and help me vent my anger by taking care of that little bastard!"
Meanwhile, Sonny realized that the new batch of drugs might really have problems. He quickly had them returned and refunded the money from the pharmacy delivery service's first store in order not cause any trouble if anyone else bought them later on.
"What's Lowe's Pharmaceutical up to?" Sonny cursed inwardly as he decided he needed answers from Romeo about this matter.
On the other hand, Lachlan finished treating the man and walked out of the clinic into the medicine area where he handed over a list of herbs he wanted.
"Hello there! I'd like some herbs," Lachlan said as he handed over his list of herbs required by him.
The staff member responsible for preparing herbal medicines took one look at it before saying indifferently, "Sir please wait a moment; we don't have several items listed here right now but we can get them from our other branch."
"Oh? Then I'll go check somewhere else," Lachlan frowned upon hearing this response.
"Mr. Willis... wait up. Our Pharmacy in Edoland has more complete stocks than others around here, so going elsewhere won't be helpful either." The staff member interrupted him again.
"It will be quick if we just go pick it up from our branch store instead. Today you saved Mr. Ramos which helped us greatly so your entire purchase today is free-of-charge as well - how does that sound?" Nelson interjected cheerfully.
Hearing this offer made Lachlan nod in agreement, "Alright then."
Nelson couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
This young guy seemed to like getting things for free! He had stayed when Nelson mentioned a free meal.
However, just as Mrs. Ramos finished her call and rushed in, her thoughts full of her son, she quickly headed for the consultation room. As she passed Lachlan, she cast him a cold, hateful glance, a hint of resentment and icy demeanor flashing across her face.
Lachlan felt her gaze and couldn't help but frown, a sense of indignation rising within him. He had saved her son, but it seemed that Mrs. Ramos held no gratitude for him.
Fifteen minutes later, Lachlan checked his phone and asked, "Have the herbs not arrived yet?"
"Any moment now, any moment... Hehe..." Nelson evaded and procrastinated.
Lachlan raised an eyebrow, a trace of suspicion crossing his starry eyes. He began to sense that something was amiss.
"That jerk! Who dares to insult my wife? Come out!"
At that moment, a loud shout echoed through the pharmacy. A burly man, leading a group of people, stormed into the store with baseball bats and other menacing objects, clearly a gang of troublemakers.
The lead man had a thick gold chain around his neck and looked like a nouveau riche thug.
Upon hearing the commotion, Mrs. Ramos quickly ran out of the consultation room and tearfully cried out to Aditya Ramos, the leading man, whom she addressed as her husband.
"This is the guy. This despicable scum took advantage of our son's life-threatening situation and threatened me to kneel before him!"
"Honey, deal with him!"
"Break his damn legs and make him kneel in front of me, begging for mercy!"
Mrs. Ramos pointed at Lachlan, her face full of bitterness.
Seeing this scene, Nelson couldn't help but revel in schadenfreude. Sonny, who had been supervising the loading of the medication onto the truck, also had no intention of leaving.
They all wanted to witness Lachlan's predicament.
"Kid, you're really arrogant! You even dared to make Mrs. Ramos kneel. Tsk, tsk..." Nelson laughed.
"Is Willis in for some bad luck?"
