As Dunston struggled to his feet, he dashed over to block Raven and the man's path again.
"Who am I?" The young woman sneered. "You're just a nobody, so there's no reason for me to tell you! Just get the Ice Lily for my father's legs! Keep stalling and I'll tear this clinic apart!"
Raven commanded with an utterly dismissive and entitled attitude.
"This is outrageous! I've never seen such rude and indecent people in all my years dealing with patients!"
Though he had been humbled by Yolanda, Dunston was from a wealthy family himself and had never been disrespected that way before. He shot back angrily, "So what if we have Ice Lily? Who says we're obligated to give it to you?"
"Enough!" Raven walked ahead and slapped him hard. "Keep talking, and I'll rearrange your face!"
"How dare you dare slap me even when everyone's watching you? How arrogant!" Dunston held his cheek as he stared at her. He was shocked at how violent she was.
"Young lady, what's wrong with you? Everyone here waits their turn! What gives you the right to act this way?"
"You're at Willow Creek Clinic, not your personal playground!" The waiting patients were frustrated with Raven's behavior, so they spoke up.
"Listen here, he is the grandson of Dr. Davidson, the miracle doctor in Riverdale! You're practically making an enemy of Dr. Davidson himself by slapping him. Good luck finding anyone in Riverdale to treat you after this!"
Though once carefree, Dunston had become a dedicated student under Baxter. Recently, his medical skills had also improved dramatically until he could handle cases independently. The clinic's regular patients supported this young doctor and would not stand by while he was being bullied.
