Yolanda squatted down beside Lucas and took out her silver needles.
"My husband is already dead. How can he be cured? Stop talking nonsense!" the young woman exclaimed with a frown, trying to figure out what Yolanda had up her sleeve.
Then, she suddenly broke free from Dunstan and threw herself onto Lucas' body while screaming frantically, "I won't let you touch my husband!"
"How strange. Shouldn't you be excited when you hear that your husband can be saved? Why do you seem apprehensive about your husband coming back to life?" Yolanda asked with mock puzzlement.
This further agitated the young woman. "You're talking nonsense! Of course, I want my husband to come back to life! But you've already killed him, you quack doctor! And you still want to torment him now? I won't allow it!
"We don't trust your medical skills. Besides, the dead can't be brought back to life. Stop stalling and give us the money!"
Lucas' friends rolled up their sleeves and moved forward to pull Yolanda away.
"Daniel, clear the area!" Yolanda suddenly raised her voice and called out to Daniel, who was standing at the entrance.
"Got it!" Daniel didn't even ask what Yolanda wanted to do. He led his men over to form a human wall in front of Yolanda. In a split second, all of Lucas' friends were blocked outside.
"What are you doing? Do you want to fight?" The leader, a middle-aged man, shouted loudly and even deliberately bumped into Daniel.
Daniel raised his hands high and said with a smile, "Everyone, you saw what happened. I didn't touch him. He's the one who's trying to make it seem like I attacked him!"
"I'm not doing anything like that! A life for a life, and the debt must be paid! This won't be over if you don't give us the money today! We won't let Lucas die in vain!"
No matter how these people made a scene, Daniel remained unfazed. He was only responsible for keeping them away from Yolanda. They wouldn't intervene in any other matters.
"Ms. Henderson, are you going to perform acupuncture on him?" Dunstan stared at Yolanda, dumbfounded.
