Hera slowly put on her gloves and said, "Go behind the curtain and lay down. Then remove your clothes."
Half an hour later, the woman's face was noticeably rosier than before when she emerged from the consultation room.
The other patients saw her and asked, "How did it go?"
The woman gave a thumbs up and said, "I wrongly accused the young lady earlier. Her medical skills are indeed superb! It's way better than the treatments at Reinland. The pain in my stomach was gone after just a few needles insertion."
The other patients felt much more reassured when they heard this.
"Mrs. Abbot, your medicine's being prepared. You may have a walk in the nearby streets and return an hour later to take it. You may also wait here if you want," a nurse reminded the woman.
"Can I bring it home and prepare it myself?" the woman, known as Mrs. Abbot asked.
"Sorry. In order to prevent our prescriptions from being leaked and misused, and to ensure patients' quick recovery, our clinic doesn't allow that. We'll prepare it for you, and you can come to take it on time," the nurse explained.
Although she found it inconvenient, the woman had to compromise since she had witnessed the effectiveness of Hera's treatment.
"Alright. I'll wait here."
At noon, Hera was about to take a lunch break after finishing with the last patient of the morning when there was a sudden commotion outside.
Several men forced their way into the clinic, ignoring Wayne's attempts to stop them.
Leading the group was a man with short, wine-red curly hair with a lip piercing and ears full of earrings. His black leather jacket looked expensive, indicating that he was a brash man from a rich family.
One of the nurses recognized him as Nicholas Sanderson, the son of the prominent Sandersons in Jedburgh. So, she quietly informed Hera.
"Mr. Sanderson, do you have an appointment? If you don't, please leave," Hera said expressionlessly.
When Nicholas saw Hera, his eyes lit up immediately. She was just his type. Still, he didn't forget his purpose and kicked over a chair.
"Appointment my ass! Where's Dr. Youngworth? Get her out here!"
