Everly immediately pulled Hera back and shook her head.
Wayne also moved to stand in front of Hera and said, "Our doctors don't make house calls. If the patient needs treatment, I can pick him up and bring him here."
"Damn it. Are all of you deaf? Smash this damn clinic!"
Nicholas kicked another chair over and waved his hand, prompting his men to thrash the place.
The other patients and children in the clinic were terrified and started crying loudly.
"I'll go with you," Hera said.
Wayne and Everly tried to dissuade her, but Hera stopped them. She reassured them and asked them to calm the patients. Then, she told them she would return soon.
Impressed by Hera's courage, Nicholas licked his lip piercing and signaled his men to retreat. Then, he took Hera to the car and drove home.
He had shown up at the clinic to cause trouble and to defy his father, who had inexplicably decided to ditch the famous Dr. Shadow and insisted on seeing Dr. Youngworth.
Even when something went wrong, he still insisted, and that infuriated Nicholas.
More importantly, Nicholas was following Camille's instructions to go and hold someone accountable.
He didn't expect to encounter the beautiful Hera, which made him change his mind.
40 minutes later, they finally reached the Sandersons' residence.
Hera followed Nicholas inside, noticing the lack of people in the large villa. They eventually reached Geoffrey's room and saw a caretaker there. Geoffrey lay in bed with his eyes closed.
Hera glanced at him and asked the caretaker, "How is he doing?"
The caretaker, a woman in her 40s, looked down at the floor and said, "Mr. Sanderson will tell you."
"Oh? So, Mr. Sanderson is also a doctor?"
Hera looked at Nicholas.
Her calm and penetrating gaze made Nicholas uneasy.
He raised his voice and said, "Are you blind? Can't you see he's paralyzed? Tell me, how will you resolve this?"
