Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 256

Jude personally escorted Yolanda out of the police station and then drove her back to Willow Creek Clinic.

"Dr. Henderson, your soiled documents will be processed quickly. Someone will deliver them within three business days. During this time, Willow Creek Clinic can continue operating as usual," Jude said.

He seemed eager to curry favor with Yolanda. After all, he needed her to treat his illness. If Willow Creek Clinic couldn't resume operations and Yolanda couldn't get back to work, he would have to endure his suffering for a few more days.

Yolanda invited Jude into the treatment room and performed acupuncture on him. Throughout the entire process, Jude's brother, Joel, watched coldly as Yolanda administered the treatment. His expression was indifferent and full of disdain.

After Jude finished his acupuncture session and was asked to go to Dunstan for a prescription, only Yolanda and Joel remained in the treatment room.

At this point, Joel finally spoke. "Your little tricks might fool my brother, but they won't work on me."

He didn't believe in acupuncture or alternative medicine—not one bit!

"Jude went to the hospital and underwent all kinds of tests. When they couldn't identify the cause, he panicked and sought random treatments. I refuse to believe that a few random needle pricks from you could cure his illness.

"If acupuncture really had the power to cure diseases, all those hospitals would have shut down by now," Joel ranted.

"So?" Yolanda looked at Joel, her expression unchanged. There was even a faint, mocking smile playing on her lips. "Are you planning to arrest me and accuse me of practicing medicine without a license again?"

"Since Jude believes in you now, I don't want to burst his bubble," Joel stated.

Then, his tone shifted. "Besides, it's just acupuncture. Even if it doesn't work, it won't harm his body. But the moment I catch you exploiting his trust to sell him expensive medicine, I'll expose you and personally have you thrown in jail."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the sarcastic smile on Yolanda's face deepened. "Then go ahead and check if the medicine I prescribed complies with Havaria's pharmaceutical regulations.

"And while you're at it, you'd better get your pancreas checked. You've been eating irregularly for years and tend to overeat. It's only a matter of time before you have pancreatic issues."

After saying this, she ignored Joel and turned to leave the treatment room.
