Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 51

Miranda was all smiles and full of warm greetings to Anna, even conducting a further check-up.

Mr. Ashcroft had also been treated by Miranda, but he couldn’t help but feel a bit miffed that she seemed to be ignoring him entirely.

After all, Miranda was the only doctor who had ever been able to ease his condition without meds over these years. So, he had to ask.

Miranda's treatments wasn't just about the mood - there was always a price to pay. Whatever the cost, payment was necessary. That was the rule at NexMed Labs.

Their practice wasn't the everyday traditional medicine.

The art was passed down with high expectations for the healer. They could seemingly snatch someone from the clutches of death, heal the sick, and restore the ailing.

Most folks at NexMed Labs lived long, healthy lives, free from worldly impurities.

They believed in fate, but they also believed they could challenge it. They saw luck as something bestowed by the heavens. If a patient was cured without any cost, it might disrupt both the patient’s and the healer’s fortunes.

Thus, it was a longstanding rule at NexMed Labs that patients must pay a price.

In contrast, modern doctors often stuck to standardized treatments - one symptom, one cure. They paid the price and got the treatment. It didn't demand much of the doctor beyond proper training.

That was why hospital doctors and the folks at NexMed Labs were worlds apart.

The simplest and most direct price? Money.

Lavinia smiled, defending Miranda. "Mr. Ashcroft, everyone knows Miranda has her own way of doing things. We don’t interfere with that."

Ever since Mrs. Anna Lancaster's recovery, everyone wanted to know more about Miranda. Frankly, folks were lining up for her treatment.

Lavinia kept Miranda’s details under wraps, only letting slip that the Lancaster family had a connection.
