"I need to take my friend to the hospital. I don't have time to argue with you. Let's do this. You compensate us with five hundred thousand, and we won't pursue this any further!" the young man said.
Dunstan's expression changed. Seeing how familiar the young man was with this money-making tactic, he couldn't believe they weren't here to stage an incident.
However, it didn't matter what he believed. The key issue was that Yolanda had kicked the man first, and with the situation not being cleared up, Willow Creek Clinic was definitely in big trouble.
Even if they were to compensate these two with half a million dollars, the clinic's reputation would be completely ruined. There was no telling if they could get any business in the future.
Yolanda remained unfazed by the young man's suggestion. She stated, "I'm not giving you any money. If you don't call the police, I will."
"Better know what's best for you, young lady. I'm trying to help you! Do you want to go to jail for running an illegal clinic? Intentional injury is a serious crime!"
Yolanda smiled faintly and raised her voice. "And what about swindling at a clinic? How many years could you get in prison for that?"
"Swindling?"
The onlookers around them grew even more excited. It seemed like there was a plot twist. The drama was really heating up!
"What nonsense is that?" The young man roared, his face turning red. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man continued to clutch his stomach and writhe on the ground. "When did we swindle anyone?"
"Do you really have appendicitis as you claimed?" Yolanda pressed on.
"O-Of course!" the middle-aged man retorted, his tone dripping with frustration. "I came here because of an appendicitis attack. If you can't treat it, just admit you're a quack!"
"But how could you have appendicitis if you don't even have an appendix?"
When Yolanda was examining the middle-aged man, she discovered that he had already had his appendix removed. No wonder Dunstan hadn't been able to detect it.
