Chapter 318
Most importantly, Frank was just too young!
It would have been fine if he were an elderly healer.
Scratching his head, Eron asked, “Is there no other way?”
Frank shook his head. “There’s only one way to treat her. You reserve the right to refuse, naturally.”
Jan snorted coldly right then. “Hmph! The way I see it, you just want to take advantage of my fiancee! Needing her to take off her clothes? I’ve never heard anything more ridiculous!”
Frank glanced at Jan’s piggish face and rattish eyes, with the latter looking at Kim as pervertedly as possible.
To think an upstanding maiden like Kim would have to suffer a fiance like him……
Still, he was not inclined to meddle with anyone’s engagement and shrugged. “If you don’t believe me, then forget it.
“Mr. Lawrence intends to treat me,” Kim said just then. “Gender isn’t a factor when it comes to treatment. Just let him do it.”
Unlike the others, she was actually convinced that Frank had no ill intent.
However, Jan quickly reasoned, “No, that won’t do. You’re my fiancee how could you let someone see you naked even before we get married?”
Kim frowned–she absolutely loathed people like Jan who brought others down to their level.
Perverts like him must think everyone else was the same!
“So you’d rather I do nothing and die?” she asked.
Jan promptly realized that he had misspoken and corrected himself. “No, that’s not what I
can. Kim–there’s plenty of others in Riverton we could ask to hel
Liv nodded in full agreement. “Yes, Ms. White. Jan is right–there’s no way there’s just one healer in all of Riverton.”

Even Kuno, who had been staying silent throughout, laughed just then, “There are many, fact, the most famous being Dan Zimmer of Flora Hall. We just happened to be acquainted too, so I can call him right away.
Eron was delighted too. “Wonderful! Thank goodness you know your way around!”
Then, turning toward Hali, he snapped, “You should have asked him earlier too. Why would you get me some greenhorn?”
Hali was speechless. “He’s the best healer I’ve ever met-”
Forget it!” Jan waved him off in disdain. “He’s no older than me, and you have the cheek to say he’s the best?”
Wheeling on Frank right then, he snapped, “Get out of here, kid. We don’t need you here.” He was all too eager to chase Frank away since his father was calling Dan.
Kim absolutely despised Jan’s behavior and asked her father, “Mr. Lawrence did save my life. You can’t just chase him away like that, can you?”
Eron nodded since that was reasonable.
He pulled out a checkbook, wrote a number, and handed Frank the check. “Here’s your reward for saving my daughter’s life, kid. There’s a million in there–we’re even now.”
“No, you can keep that spare change,” Frank growled as he rose to his feet and stormed off. “Hey, Mr. Lawrence…” Hali was shrewd enough with people to see the anger on Frank’s face. He quickly gave chase and caught up to Frank at the stairs. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Lawrence–I didn’t know that the White family could be so… stubborn.”
