Under the Heiress' Facade

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?"

"And how would you like me to resolve this?" Hera asked unblinkingly.

Nicholas licked his lip piercing and said, "Here's the deal. My father's biggest wish is to have a grandchild. If you sleep with me and give him a grandson, we'll forget about this."

Hera chuckled.

"And that will wake him up?"

Nicholas cleared his throat awkwardly.

"That's not your concern. Anyway, your clinic can't cure my father, so you need to compensate in another way."

Hera sneered and put her bag on the table. Then, she took out a set of silver needles and chose the thickest one before looking over at Geoffrey.

Seeing this, Nicholas felt a chill and immediately shouted, "What are you trying to do?"

"I'm showing you if our clinic can cure people or not," Hera said coldly.

"This ten-inch silver needle is perfect for paralyzed people. Once inserted into the sole of the foot, even a person who's in a coma for ten years will wake up."

As soon as she finished, Geoffrey opened his eyes, gasping.

Then, he scolded, "You brat! Are you trying to get me killed so you can inherit my money?"

Hera pretended to be surprised.

"Oh, so Mr. Sanderson Senior is not really paralyzed?"

Nicholas was speechless.

Afraid of being pierced with the long silver needle, Geoffrey quickly said, "No, I'm not. It's just that I can't move my lower body!"

He had never intended to pretend, but when he woke up that morning, he suddenly found out he couldn't move his lower body. The family doctor insisted that it was Dr. Youngworth's fault. Meanwhile, Nicholas insisted on stopping him from seeing Dr. Youngworth and called for Dr. Shadow instead.

Camille had treated Geoffrey before. Although he felt some effects initially, she only treated the symptoms. She didn't really cure him, and the symptoms kept coming back.

She even gave him the special medication recently. But it made him feel nauseous and dizzy and made him vomit. So, he stopped taking it.

Geoffrey immediately booked an appointment when he saw that Dr. Youngworth, who had treated his wife before, had reopened her clinic.
