The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 636-640
Chapter 636
Charlie Wade sensed Jasmine's affection but avoided it, deciding to deal with it later. The next day, Donald awoke anxious about his son Kian, whose condition—being forced to eat excrement—was worsening, causing significant emotional distress. Kian, spoiled since childhood, found the ordeal terrifying. Desperate for a cure and revenge, Donald bypassed breakfast, gathering bodyguards and heading to the Serene World Clinic. While Donald felt excited, Sean, his other son, secretly hoped his brother's condition remained unchanged. He tentatively questioned his father about Dr. Simmons' ability to cure Kian. Donald expressed unwavering confidence in the doctor's skill, citing his success with high paraplegia. Arriving at the clinic, they found a long queue. Donald sighed at the doctor's popularity. An assistant explained that patient selection wasn't based on queue order but illness severity. Donald, disgusted, instructed his bodyguards to pay each person in line $1000 to leave.
Chapter 637
The bodyguards announced the clinic's closure and offered the bribe. The crowd reacted with dissatisfaction. One man protested, highlighting his mother's serious illness and the unfairness of the situation. The bodyguard leader responded with violence, ordering his men to beat the man. His elderly mother pleaded for them to stop. The bodyguards eventually dispersed the crowd using force and bribes. A clinic staff member intervened, questioning the bodyguards' actions. The bodyguard leader arrogantly cited the Webb family's power and influence. Sean then added that the Webb family's rules superseded the clinic's, asserting their right to prioritize themselves. The staff member argued for fairness and adherence to the clinic's established rules. Sean defiantly challenged the staff member, implying that even Dr. Simmons would bow to the Webb family's authority. His intention was to provoke a refusal of treatment for his brother. Donald remained silent, accustomed to the Webb family's domineering behavior. He was, however, beginning to find Sean’s actions excessive.
Chapter 638
Donald recognized Anthony's importance and reputation, contrasting Sean's actions with the necessary respect owed to a renowned doctor. He attributed Sean's behavior to spoiled privilege and a lack of temper control. Donald corrected Sean, emphasizing the need for respect when seeking Anthony's help. He then asked the staff to inform Dr. Simmons of their presence. Anthony appeared, coldly confronting Donald and Sean about dismissing his patients. Donald introduced himself, highlighting the Webb family's influence. Anthony, however, pointed out that he'd only just witnessed the full extent of their power firsthand and responded with anger. Donald attempted to smooth things over and invited Anthony inside, but Anthony refused, citing the Webb family's overwhelming power as a reason to decline treatment. Donald attempted to justify the situation, stating that focusing on influential families would be more beneficial to Anthony's financial situation. Anthony countered this, arguing that he values helping people above profit and often treats poorer patients without charge. Donald was surprised by this altruistic claim.
Chapter 639
Anthony, accustomed to respect from influential figures, expressed his disgust at the Webb family's behavior. He firmly refused their request. Donald, taken aback by this outright rejection, became annoyed and subtly threatened Anthony with the Webb family's power. Anthony remained defiant and unafraid. Sean, sensing an opportunity, further escalated the situation with aggressive words towards Anthony. Donald attempted damage control but Anthony flatly refused to treat Kian. Donald felt the growing resentment toward Anthony and considered the consequences of his actions.
Chapter 640
Donald, angered by Anthony's continued defiance, considered but ultimately rejected violence. He reasoned that harming Anthony would create more problems. Instead, he threatened to destroy the clinic and any future clinics Anthony might open. Anthony responded with defiance, challenging Donald to carry out the threat. Donald made a final attempt to compel Anthony to treat Kian, offering a large sum of money, but Anthony remained steadfast in his refusal, citing Kian's character and behavior. Donald, enraged, ultimately ordered his bodyguards to destroy the clinic. Anthony stood firm, unafraid of the Webb family's threats.
