A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 240 Troubled Waters.

We can’t even make it through a week?

Liam’s brows furrowed. “Old Mr. Quiroz, is there any way for us to manage at least a week?”

He was confident that within just a week, Jerome Medical Clinic would be completely defeated, never to open its doors again.

Kenneth thought for a moment and said, “There is a solution, which is to increase the number of doctors on duty. However, the cost at this time…”

Upon mentioning this, Kenneth fell silent.

However, Liam understood what he meant. “Old Mr. Quiroz, please make the arrangements. Anyone willing to come, we will pay them four times their usual salary!”

“All right; I’ll get in touch now.”

Upon receiving Liam’s promise, Kenneth immediately made a phone call.

After making several phone calls in a row, Kenneth’s expression turned somewhat awkward. “Mr. Sable, perhaps you should consider transferring staff from the hospitals and clinics under Regi Group.”

Liam frowned. “Are they unwilling?”

Kenneth replied, “I’ve reached out to a few people to work part-time at the clinic, but they told me that the Department of Health just issued a notice. The Jadeborough medical system is under strict scrutiny right now, and no medical staff are allowed to practice outside of their own workplaces! Otherwise, their medical practice license will be revoked, and no healthcare system should employ them!”

Upon hearing this, Liam’s frown deepened. “Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?”

Although the Department of Health conducted strict inspections once or twice a year, Liam felt that this. one was too much of a coincidence.

Kenneth said, “Mr. Sable, there’s no room for manipulation in the notice from the Department of Health. You should consider other options. Otherwise, even if we work around the clock, it won’t help!”

He paused before suggesting. “Perhaps we should cancel the free medical treatment? Otherwise, starting from tomorrow, the number of people coming will definitely exceed ten thousand. That’s a number even a large hospital can’t accommodate!”

Liam suddenly became emotional. “No, it can’t be cancelled!”

I’ve just started targeting Finnegan, so I can’t cancel this plan now! I’d be making a laughing stock of myself if I do! I simply cannot afford to lose to Finnegan!

Kenneth was curious as to why Liam was so agitated, but he didn’t probe further. “Even if you manage to mobilize people from the Regi Group, you might only be able to get by today. What about tomorrow? Even if you manage to get by tomorrow, what will you do the day after?”
