CHAPTER 649: CHAPTER 649: BITING OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW?

At this moment, Simon Hale stepped out from the crowd.

"Let me take a look at this old gentleman."

Simon Hale interrupted Julian Norman, almost blurting out the truth, while locking eyes with him.

His eyes seemed kind and smiling, but in fact, he was warning Julian not to ruin his good plan. Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable for him.

Indeed, he noticed a change in the situation next door, which is why he skipped the initial plan of having someone invite him, and hurried over instead.

Fortunately, he arrived just at the critical moment.

Otherwise, if Julian exposed the truth, not only would the plan fail, but his good reputation in Esteria would also be shattered. He might even face a lawsuit.

After being warned by Simon Hale, Julian quickly expressed his admiration for him, just as they previously agreed.

"Dr. Hale? Is it you? I saw reports about you on the news before and wanted my father to visit you for treatment. But our financial situation really can’t afford it..."

"In fact, our clinic hosts free clinics, although only once a month. But I can assure you that we are responsible for every patient. You just need to check our official website, pay attention to the free clinic times each month, and then you won’t have to worry about the medical expenses."

In front of the crowd and the media, Simon Hale spoke quite eloquently.

He subtly criticized July Quinn for running too many days of free clinics without taking care of each patient properly and timely promoted his own clinic’s free services, showcasing his benevolence as a doctor.

Sure enough, netizens watching this scene in a media live room were all giving thumbs up to Simon Hale’s words.

Some even started asking about the free clinic times at Apothecary Hale’s clinic, saying they would come for consultations during those times in the future.

But in reality, Apothecary Hale’s clinic never had any so-called free consultations.

This sudden free clinic was specifically set up to counter Serenity Clinic’s free services.

Once July Quinn is imprisoned and Serenity Clinic becomes history, this free clinic day will find a reason to be canceled too.

After all, for Simon Hale, making money is the real business.

A free clinic that makes no profit, only benefiting others without bringing any wealth to himself, is utterly meaningless.

Now, after criticizing July Quinn, Simon Hale cast a subtle glance at her.

However, July Quinn didn’t even look at him, busy tapping away on her phone, appearing very occupied.

This was somewhat different from the script he had imagined.

He originally thought July Quinn would question his presence, and he had prepared a plethora of arguments to convince her and the onlookers to trust him more.

But July Quinn didn’t say anything, and even seemed indifferent, something felt a bit off.

Yet their performance had come to this point; if they didn’t continue, the old man might really die.

So he just signaled Julian Norman with a glance.

Receiving his cue, Julian continued his act, "Thank you, Dr. Hale, then I’ll leave it to you..."

Under the scrutiny of everyone present, Simon Hale approached the seemingly lifeless old man to diagnose his pulse.

"He ingested the wrong medication, causing a disturbance in his heartbeat. As long as I perform some acupuncture to restore the heartbeat to normal, he’ll be fine."

After his diagnosis, Simon Hale took out golden needles, ready to start the procedure.

Everyone else held their breath, eagerly awaiting the arrival of this "revival" moment.

But at this point, July Quinn, still busy with her phone, suddenly dropped a comment, "Amateur. I advise you not to take on tasks beyond your ability."
