Cody explained, âMr. Swanson, I didnât mean to disrespect the Swanson family. âBut these ruffians caused a scene at Harmony Healers; I had to step in.â
Despite being just a butler for the Swanson family, Zion had the support of Ezra Swanson, the familyâs scion. Cody wouldnât dare to go against Ezra unless it was necessary.
âCausing a scene? But I heard that Harmony Healers are mistreating patients,â Zion remarked casually. your
âZiggy told me that your quack doctor failed to treat his condition and made it worse. He came here seeking justice, and I find that reasonable.â
âThatâs rightâ¦â Ziggy nodded, expressing his grievances. âMr. Swanson, Harmony Healers are so unreasonable. Their treatment worsened my injuries, and I was close to death.
âNot only did they refuse to admit it, but they also accused me of causing trouble. Please, be fair and help me!â
âNonsense! Heâs just lying!â Harper couldnât contain her anger. She had never met such a shameless. person before. Ziggy told blatant lies and was trying to extort money. Now, he even portrayed himself as the victim.
âLying? Look at my wound!â Ziggy raised his shirt once again, revealing the festering wound.
âMr. Ostrower, did you see this? Harmony Healersâ doctor caused this condition. âAre you still going to defend them?â Zionâs tone grew more confrontational.
âItâs just a minor injury. We can offer compensation. How much do you want? âCody asked. He would pay if it meant resolving the issue.
âCompensation is a must, but I donât want money.â
Ziggy shook his head and pointed at Harmony Healersâ sign. âI donât want money. I want your shop. Then we can consider this matter settled.â
Cody retorted, âThis injury is minor, and you want Harmony Healers? Thatâs absurd!â Ziggy replied, âMr. Ostrower, this â minorâ injury nearly cost me my life. Iâd trade Harmony Healers for my life, wouldnât you?â
âHmph! Whatâs your life worth? Itâs not even worth the restroom at Harmony Healers!â Cody replied firmly.
Zion interjected abruptly, âZiggy is part of the Swanson family. Calling his life worthless is like saying the Swanson familyâs life is worthless.
Would you take responsibility for your words?â
âYou-â Cody felt frustrated. Dealing with Ziggy was one thing, but Zionâs words made matters complicated.
âMr. Ostrower, donât blame us for being unreasonable. If you wonât compensate, thatâs fine. âJust heal Ziggyâs injury, and we can move on,â Zion stated, crossing his arms.
âThatâs right! If you wonât compensate, heal my injury right now. Letâs see if you can,â Ziggy challenged, pointing menacingly at his wound.
âHmph! Even if we prescribe medicine, youâll replace it when you go home. How can it heal then?â Harper felt indignant.
They had seen this tactic before. Even Harmony Healersâ best medication couldnât treat a patientâs ill intentions.
âMs. Busch, mind your words. Iâve always been living an upright, honest life. âWhy would I do something thatâs harmful to me?â Ziggy replied, smirking.
âMr. Ostrower, Iâve given you an opportunity. Whether you can heal Ziggyâs injury depends on Harmony Healersâ doctorâs abilities,â Zion said, looking as if he had everything under control.
Cody clenched his teeth, his lips frowned with displeasure. Brooke and the others also had furrowed brows, feeling helpless. They truly felt powerless under the persuasion and intimidation of the Swanson family.
âWhy the fuss over a minor skin injury? Just heal it on the spot, and itâs done, right?â Dustin, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up.
