Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Such a Long Wait
"There’s two million in here. As long as you give me the acupuncture treatment, this money is yours."
The male patient thought that July Quinn would definitely accept the bank card gratefully, after all, two million isn’t a small amount.
But to his surprise, July Quinn didn’t even glance at the card, bypassed them, and left.
"Two million is still too little? Doctors these days sure have big appetites."
"No medical ethics at all. In the next life, they’re surely going to be animals."
The father and son sang in harmony, and as a result, Owen Shaw couldn’t help but remind them, "Divine Doctor Quinn is the director of our hospital, and those who want her treatment are already booked until next winter. Moreover, she never accepts kickbacks and donates all her income to the poor patients of the hospital."
"Sorry, sorry, I didn’t know that Divine Doctor is the hospital director. Could you help us schedule an appointment with Divine Doctor?"
The father and son changed their tune immediately.
But Owen Shaw said, "No. July believes in fate when it comes to treating her patients. People like you, cursing her to be animals in the next life, definitely have no fate with her."
After saying this, Owen Shaw invited Zachary and others to his office, unable to resist complaining.
"No sense of decorum at all, deserves to be in a wheelchair for life."
He didn’t lower his voice intentionally, and it reached the ears of this father and son.
For a moment, both of their faces didn’t look good.

When July Quinn returned to the small room, it was in complete darkness.
"Power outage?"
Just as July Quinn spoke, she fell into a familiar embrace.
"Why did it take you so long to come back?"
The familiar male voice was hoarse, unfamiliar.
As he spoke, Kyle Keaton leaned in to kiss July Quinn.
"Just got back right after work. Only three hours."
July Quinn tried to push Kyle Keaton away.
Kyle Keaton, failing to steal a kiss, could only bury his entire face in the crook of July Quinn’s neck, inhaling her fragrance.
"Only three hours? Why does it feel so long to me?"
It felt as long as three centuries!
July Quinn knew she couldn’t push Kyle Keaton away and knew if she didn’t separate them, this man would certainly seize the opportunity to act against her.
"Stop fussing, go make me some food."
"Already prepared."
Kyle Keaton led July Quinn to the dining table and lit the candles on the table with a lighter.
When the flickering candlelight illuminated everything, July Quinn noticed there were two prepared steaks and wine, along with some vegetable and fruit sides on the table.
As soon as July Quinn sat down, she was entirely focused on eating.
She didn’t say a word or listen to any.
Not until the steak, wine, and sides had all been eaten, and she burped contentedly, did she say, "Oh, I might need to go to Esteria for a while."
Although she got Simon Hale sent to the station today, July Quinn expected he’d eventually evade conviction.
The issue is, the feud between the Hale Family and The Monroe Family can’t be resolved by just a few days in jail.
So, this trip to Esteria was necessary.
"Esteria?"
Under the flickering candlelight, Kyle Keaton’s eyes turned dark.
"How long will you be gone? What for?"
"Time is uncertain, and what for is also uncertain."
Anyway, it involves resolving the feud between The Monroe Family and The Hale Family, reclaiming the stolen ancestral home and honor of The Monroe Family.
But she didn’t notice Kyle Keaton’s squinted eyes.
"Do you need me to send some people to help you?"
In Esteria, he has influence.
He’s unsure if July Quinn disclosed this trip knowing that.
July Quinn’s response was, "No need, I’ll just take our son with me."
Kyle Keaton: "..."
