"Is that really necessary?" Baxter was surprised as he raised an eyebrow.
"Of course it is! She keeps interrupting and affecting my treatment!" Dunstan pointed at Yolanda. "Besides, the Five Elements Divine Needles is our family's unique technique. If it falls into the hands of someone with ill intentions, it would tarnish the Davidson family's reputation!"
Dunstan was boldly claiming the technique as his family's proprietary method. When he saw Baxter hesitating, he added a threat, "If she stays here, I won't continue treating Kelly. It's up to you to decide."
Tina seized the opportunity to persuade, "Uncle Baxter, you need to get Yolanda out of here! We can't delay Kelly's treatment!"
"Are you really intent on slandering Yolanda?" Zach could no longer hold back. "You know very well if Yolanda is as incompetent as you claim or if it's just jealousy on your part!"
"And who are you? This is a family matter, not for an outsider like you to meddle in!"
She didn't recognize Zach and thought he was someone Yolanda had brought for backup, so she didn't take him seriously at all.
No one had ever spoken to him like that before, and he was about to retaliate when Yolanda stopped him.
"Why waste my breath on someone like him?"
She glanced coolly at Dunstan before saying, "I can leave, but I want to remind you—when you needle the PC 1, make sure you find the right spot, or it could cause irreversible harm to Ms. Pattinson. Dr. Pattinson, as a fellow practitioner, you should be aware of PC 1's location. Just keep an eye on it."
Baxter hesitated, then nodded apologetically at Yolanda.
"How do you know I'll needle the PC 1 next?" Dunstan was momentarily taken aback.
