Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Bullying with Power
"But I have no choice either..."
Eric Yates had worked hard to reach his current position, so how could he not recognize that Simon Hale was of unscrupulous character?
The problem is, this man possesses excellent medical skills and can cure his mother’s illness.
Reluctantly, Eric Yates only followed his instructions.
"Mom knows you’re doing it for her, but if it truly requires you to do something against your conscience just so Mom can live a little better, Mom would rather not."
Leanne Hall also said, "If even the Serenity Clinic can’t help my illness this time, then just stop wasting your efforts. It’s just my fate."
No matter what, Leanne Hall wanted to sever ties between Eric Yates and Simon Hale, to avoid him going astray.
Although Eric Yates nodded in agreement, he still couldn’t let go of his obsession.
No matter what, he was determined to cure the headache that had plagued his mother for years.
So, even if it meant colluding with someone like Simon Hale, he would not hesitate.
Under Leanne Hall’s urging, the mother and son went to Serenity Clinic.
Because a large number of Westmarch’s local patients had not yet arrived, the entrance to Serenity Clinic was still quite deserted and quiet.
However, the receptionist in charge of registration still greeted them warmly.
"Please write down your names and contact information here, so we can follow up later. Once Divine Doctor Quinn finishes with the previous patients, it will be your turn."
Eric Yates took the registration form and filled in the information for his mother.
Just then, Jessica Chase, a receptionist from the neighboring Apothecary Hale’s clinic, recognized the two of them.
Recently, Jessica Chase and the other receptionists, besides recording information for their clinic’s patients, spent most of their time watching the farce at the neighboring clinic.
"Oh, isn’t this Director Yates and his mother?"
Previously, when Eric Yates brought Leanne Hall to Apothecary Hale’s clinic, it was Jessica Chase who received them.
Since neither of them was wearing any luxury items, but due to Eric Yates’ offer to help Simon Hale investigate the neighboring clinic, they were given treatment, so Jessica Chase remembered them well.
Eric Yates and Leanne Hall glanced at Jessica Chase and didn’t respond much.
After all, the cold reception they received from the group of receptionists at the clinic last time was still fresh in their minds.
Seeing that neither of them paid her any attention, Jessica Chase got more spirited.
"What’s wrong, you couldn’t help Dr. Hale, and now you can’t get treatment?"
Eric Yates, a bit annoyed after filling out the form, felt the urge to argue with Jessica Chase, that busybody.
But Leanne Hall pulled him back and shook her head, "Better to avoid trouble whenever possible!"
Eric Yates decided to heed his mother’s advice and prepared to help her into the clinic.
But Jessica Chase began to mock them: "Our Dr. Hale did say, once you’ve stepped into Serenity Clinic, it will be hard for you to return for treatment at our clinic in the future."
"So you’d better think it through before entering Serenity Clinic; it might not just fail to treat your illness but also close the door for future treatments at our clinic."
Hearing this, Eric Yates hesitated in his steps.
Even though the people at Apothecary Hale’s clinic weren’t any good, they did hit Eric Yates’ weak spot.
However, unexpectedly, his usually gentle mother suddenly scolded Jessica Chase: "You’re just a bully with backing!"
Eric Yates was stunned: "Mom?"
The two of them had depended on each other for years, and he had never seen his mother argue with anyone.
But today...
Jessica Chase also didn’t expect the meek Leanne Hall to dare curse her, and she immediately responded with a vicious look: "Who’re you calling a bully?"
