SWNOVELS Chapter 276
The large clinic echoed with only Arely's mad screams.
The eight seasoned physicians exchanged uncomfortable glances. After all, this was a family scandal; it was awkward for outsiders to witness. They signaled to Felicia exaggeratedly, suggesting they should give the family some privacy to handle their matters. Felicia, however, was short on patience. She looked at the Adlers and Arely and said, "You have five minutes."
She turned and went to the storeroom to prepare her supplies.
Five minutes later, they had resolved. Lewis handed Arely a sum of money as compensation, agreeing they would go their separate ways.
Olivia remained silent, her head bowed as if lost in thought.
Afterward, Felicia carefully removed the venomous creatures from Lewis and Arely and placed them inside a prepared glass container.
With the matter settled, Arely left expressionless, check in hand.
Grateful to have his life back, Lewis thanked Felicia profusely. He paid her the two million in fees and bought up all the Panax pseudo-ginseng on her shelf, spending another eight million in the process.
As the father and daughter exited the clinic, Olivia seemed to have made a decision. She said, "Dad, I won't interfere from now on. Whether you want to be with Arely or anyone else, marry her as long as you're happy."
But to her surprise, he shook his head vigorously. "No, no! I've learned my lesson. I'm done with women for good!"
Their convoy of luxury cars sped off.
Across the street, everyone-whether from the rival Harmony Medical Center or other competitors watching Union Clinic closely-could see that Lewis walked out, brimming with energy after being carried in. Felicia's claim of no bad reviews was starting to seem credible. The sight nearly drove Harvey mad with frustration.
Inside the Union Clinic, the eight seasoned physicians stood around Felicia, looking as if they wanted to ask her something but didn't dare.
Still studying the two venomous creatures inside the glass container, she noticed their hesitation and said, "Go ahead. What do you want to know?"
One of the seasoned physicians
finally asked, "Ms. Fuller, this twin
venomous creature is extremely dangerous. If Mr. Adler hadn't
managed to find the person with the primordial, would he really have
been beyond saving?"
"That's true, but not entirely." In a good mood, she explained, "An ordinary person couldn't save him, but I could."
His eyes brightened but then grew even more puzzled.
By Felicia's logic, she could save him, so why not just remove the seedling and end the problem? Why did she insist on having the Adlers find the person with the primordial?

Thinking this, he voiced his question.
She turned to him and answered without a trace of shame, "Because I wanted it!"
A primordial and seedling pair was far more valuable together than just the money she had been paid.
The seasoned physician was taken aback, momentarily speechless in the face of her blunt self-interest. She smiled. "Don't look at me like that. I didn't lie."
It was true removing the seedling would have meant certain death for Lewis. She simply hadn't mentioned that she could keep him alive with her skills.
Looking at the two venomous creatures inside the glass, he shivered. "Ms. Fuller, what do you want these for?"
"You never know when they'll come in handy. I'll keep them for now." Felicia tapped the glass lightly.
After being removed, the pair of worms nestled together, slipping into a dormant state, completely still.
Pondering over them, she thought about modifying their properties. With the right adjustments, they could be highly useful someday.
