Chapter 15 Spread The Message And Blacklist The Gibson Family

• Gavin was passing by and decided to give it a shot when he saw people receiving treatment. He never expected to get better, let alone feel like kneeling, when he learned that Wynter didn’t charge a penny. Wynter stopped him and wiped his hands. “Mr. Colt, your condition isn’t severe. It’s just a routine bone alignment. This is something any traditional medicine practitioner can treat.” “Routine bone alignment?” Gavin looked puzzled. “But Dr. Gibson said I needed surgery, and it would cost a million.” A million? The people around him frowned at the vast number. For ordinary folks, it was overwhelming. “What is Dr. Gibson doing? Exploiting people?” Susan was the first to express dissatisfaction.
• As leaders, they were most concerned about the people’s welfare. Others chimed in, directing their frustration at Dom. “Domie, you need to handle this properly!” Dom wiped away his sweat. “I'll try my best.” After all, he wasn’t from a medical background. “A million for what kind of surgery?” “There’s definitely corruption involved!” Gavin was perplexed. “Corruption? Isn’t Dr. Gibson the best doctor in Southdale? People from our county say getting an appointment with her is tough. “My son lined up for three days to get me one. I saw many people outside the hospital waiting to consult her. Would such a doctor engage in corruption?”
• Dom sighed. “I can’t blame you for asking. The Gibson family is indeed the foremost of the four prominent medical families in Southdale. They are unparalleled in treating illnesses. Especially in the past six months, they’ve cured many terminal patients.” “That’s what I’m saying.” Gavin chuckled foolishly. “The Gibson family wouldn’t deceive me.” Susan was even more pissed. “They’re bullying honest folks!” “You’ve forgotten what I told you.” Wynter raised her gaze to Susan. “Don’t get angry.” Susan turned away. “I’m just annoyed. You see, this…” “Forgetting one’s roots will inevitably lead to retribution.”
