Ferdy could not even crawl over to Frank and beg!
At the same time, Frank infused an iota of his pure vigor into Ava’s chest and belly to stimulate her internal organs.
“Blargh!” She suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood.
While Brenda’s face paled at the sight, Frank assured her, “Don’t worry, she’s fine.”
Soon, Ava stirred.
“Oh, my baby! You gave me such a scare!”
Brenda exclaimed with tears of joy and held Ava firmly in her arms as she thanked Frank repeatedly. “Thank you so much… That quack doctor would have killed my dear Ava if not for you.”
Jim stood as he watched Brenda rummaging through her purse, his cheeks stiffening.
Each Ichor Pill was priceless. If one had to rate its value, it would be ten million dollars… and that was the lower estimation.
While Jim was left troubled, Frank smiled, shaking his head. “My consultation fee is not exactly cheap.”
“T-Then… How much is it?” Brenda stopped rummaging her purse, obviously not a rich person.
“Ten million dollars,” Frank said, holding up a finger, leaving Brenda pale right then.
“W-What? Ten million…?” she murmured.
Frank was not surprised to see Brenda turn pale or hear the quiver in her voice, and he shook his head.
“Naturally, you’re not the one paying-that’d be Loggins Apothecary. They were the ones who gave the wrong prescription and put your daughter through unnecessary pain.”
Then, turning toward Jim with a smile, he asked, “Don’t you agree, Mr. Loggins?”
Jim paused for a moment but soon nodded as he came to his senses and stood up.
“Exactly,” he said solemnly. “Loggins Apothecary will foot the bill, and that’s not all-we’ll be refunding the fee we charged you earlier and for the medicinal soup.”
“Huh? What…?” Brenda was left at a loss.
“Thank you, sir.” Ava thanked Frank feebly just then, perfectly aware of who actually saved her.
“Heh…” Frank smiled calmly, knowing that this would happen and acting like it was nothing.
As the patients looked on, he turned and strode away, but he soon paused and turned to Jim. “Issue Mr. Zeller the bill. He’s the one guilty of malpractice.”
“What…?”
Ferdy appeared at loss even as he sat limply on the floor.
“Yes.” Jim nodded, his attitude decisive. “According to Loggins Apothecary rules, he’ll be covering the patient’s medical bills along with any required compensation. And there’s also that conspiracy increase prices within our premises…”
Striding forward, he tore the employee badge off Ferdy’s chest. “Dr. Zeller… Oh, wait. You’re just Mr. Zeller from now on.” “No… Mr. Lawrence!” Ferdy bawled, plenty remorseful. “Please, you win! Just let me keep my job! I’ll bark, okay? Arf! Arf! Arf!”
Jim watched as the man abandoned all dignity and felt lucky he caught on quickly right then.
