It was silent for a few seconds. Then, a thirty-year-old muscular man with a metal rod in his hand
stepped forward. Wearing a vicious look, he pointed the metal rod at James. He roared, “Who the hell
are you? What makes you think you have the right to speak?” He was frothing at the mouth and was
behaving aggressively. Thea was scared out of her wits. Fearing she would be assaulted, she hid
behind James’ back.
”That’s right. There’s no need for you to speak We demand compensation!”
“If you don’t pay compensation, we’ll wreck Eternality Hospital.”
“What a useless place. If you aren’t up to standards, don’t establish yourselves at Medical Street. Get
out of here!”
The crowd started heckling.
Not even a single Callahan dared show up.
The situation outside was volatile. It would be problematic if things got out of control. “Shut it, all of you.
Wait for your turn to speak,” James roared with an annoyed look. He would not have cared less if this
was not the Callahans’ hospital.
The man armed with a metal rod pointed at Thea behind James, “Thea, get your *ss over here. You’re
the chairman of the Callahans. My father died from your medicine. If you don’t provide me with a
satisfactory explanation, I’ll tear this place down.”
“Tear it down!”
The crowd started heckling once more. Some who tried to rush forward were stopped by the security
guards. “I was feeling sick and came to Eternality Hospital. After using their medicine, I started to feel
irritation all over my body.” “Me too. I came here because I had headaches. After using their medicine, I
started losing my hair.”
“We strongly urge the relevant authorities to close down Eternality!”
The crowd heckled.
As reporters were present, the scene was broadcasted live. Anxious, Thea asked, “Jamie, w-what
should we do?”
James frowned.
Was something wrong with the medicine prescribed by the Callahans? Or was someone looking for
trouble?
Both possibilities exist. There might have been something wrong with the medicine, or there might be
someone
looking to fan the flames.
“Alright now, wait for your turn to speak.”
James tried his best to calm them down. Then, he walked down the flight of stairs and headed toward
the stretcher. He glanced at the elderly who had lost his vital signs. “What do you want?”
The muscular man pointed at James with his metal rod. He lashed out, “Don’t touch my father.”
James turned and looked at him.
His gaze was penetrating. The muscular man was intimidated and stepped a few steps back
He roared, “He’s already dead. What more do you want?”
James extended his arm. “Give me the list of medicine prescribed.”
Upon hearing this, a middle-aged woman threw a handful of receipts toward James and cursed, “These
are the receipts for the whole year. My father was here at your hospital.” James picked them up and
scrutinized each word.
Inside Eternality Hospital, the Callahans were watching the spectacle unfolding outside
They were hoping James would resolve the problem.
Megan pulled Tommy aside and asked, “Tommy, nothing will go wrong, right?”
Tommy whispered, “Everything’s fine. Our plan is flawless. There’s no way anyone can see through it.
Thea has been gaining ground in the family, and it’s been extremely disadvantageous to us. If we don’t
deal her a blow now, she’ll be unstoppable.” No one heard what they were saying.
James looked intently at the list of items on the receipts.
“Here, I’ve even brought the medicine. There’s still one he hadn’t managed to finish. I was planning to
bring it to the Food and Drug Association for examination.” Someone tossed a bottle of medicine
toward James.
James opened the bottle and went through it casually.
He grabbed a handful of medicine, smelled it, and even chewed it in his mouth.
Then, he stood. “Name the price. How much do you want?”
“Ten million dollars.” As the muscular man knew the Callahans were wealthy, he shamelessly asked for
ten million dollars. He added menacingly, “If you don’t give me ten million dollars today, this won’t be
the end of it. I’ll fight till the end. I’ll stop at nothing to make a living hell for the Callahans.”
