"We'll leave now."
"Miranda, see Mr. Henderson out and write him a check for 500 thousand dollars. Consider it compensation for his trouble."
The amount was clearly meant to insult Harold and Yolanda, who hadn't done anything. Then, Lennox spoke to Miranda in front of them, "Also, I won't see anyone else apart from Dr. Smith!"
His illness and fatigue had left him in poor spirits lately. If everyone was allowed to bring their second-rate doctors and disturb him, he'd never get any peace to recover!
"Got it, Dad. I'll warn the security guards right away." Miranda nodded earnestly.
Watching the father and daughter, Yolanda silently shook her head. Clearly, there was no point in offering treatment now. Since the high-and-mighty Lennox trusted Russell's medical team so much, they could only hope for the best.
"Mr. Cavanaugh, in a week, you'll experience severe angina, with bruises appearing near your heart. But that's just the beginning. Without proper treatment, you'll go into shock, lose your sight... and die within a month."
Before leaving, Yolanda offered this warning to Lennox. "If you don't want to end up as a cold corpse in a funeral home, come to Willow Creek Clinic and beg for my help."
With that, Yolanda turned to leave. Though Harold disapproved of Yolanda's offensive words, he stayed quiet since Lennox had first questioned and mocked her.
