Lucas' face was contorted in pain as he accused, "You… you're trying to kill me!"
He was sweating profusely from the pain. Despite his stomping his feet repeatedly, the sharp ache in his knee joints showed no signs of easing.
"Honey…" Despair flashed through the young woman's eyes briefly before she threw herself at Lucas dramatically while complaining, "Everyone at Willow Creek Clinic is heartless! You bully good folks like us!"
Some of the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and started speaking up.
"Young lady, how can you say that?"
"Dr. Henderson saved your husband's life. Shouldn't you be grateful?"
"Exactly! If it weren't for Dr. Henderson, your husband would be dead!"
"Willow Creek Clinic truly lives up to its reputation as a century-old clinic. The doctors here can even bring the dead back to life—they're miracle workers!"
Aside from a few troublemakers who were trying to smear the clinic on purpose, most bystanders could judge for themselves as to what was going on. It was clear that this group of people had used some dirty tricks to fake Lucas' death and then deliberately caused a scene to extort money.
Moreover, even if Lucas had truly died in the beginning, it would only serve as a testament that Yolanda's medical skills were exceptional. If Yolanda could revive the dead, then what was there to worry about for those who were coming here for treatments?
Lucas and the young woman's expressions turned extremely grim. Upon realizing the tide had turned against them, they exchanged a quick glance with their accomplices and tried to escape.
"Trying to run away? Not so fast!" Daniel bellowed.
With his command, his men immediately dragged out those who had been stirring the crowd and caught all the accomplices pretending to be Lucas' friends.
"Let go of me! What do you think you're doing?" Those people resisted angrily and struggled fiercely.
Meanwhile, Lucas and the young woman nimbly dodged Daniel's men and swiftly dashed toward the door. However, just as they thought they were about to reach the entrance and escape, a figure appeared before their eyes.
