"Then you should just stay here for a week. Name your price," said Karen.

"But..." The doctor was slightly tempted. A week was not very long, after all. Plus, he had an assistant at the clinic to help, so there should not be any major problems.

After all, things were relatively peaceful in A City these days. Usually, it was just some people from various organizations getting into fights. At most, they just ended up getting slashed a bit.

These injuries were not troublesome. If there were any life-threatening injuries, they would go to the hospital rather than his black market clinic. Therefore, being away for a week was really no problem, and he could even make money.

"How much? If you're not willing, I can find someone else," added Karen. There was more than just this one black market clinic in A City.

"5,000 dollars a day," replied the doctor.

Five thousand dollars was a lot for an ordinary person. If they went to the hospital, they would not even spend that much on treatment in a day.

However, he knew that amount of money hardly counted as anything for Karen. Thus, he added, "That's just my personal fee. As for medications and such, they'll still be charged according to my clinic's rates."

Karen could not be bothered to haggle with him. Even though she was very unhappy about what happened tonight, no matter how dissatisfied she was, it was all over.

No one would keep harping on this matter. Hence, she handed over the money readily, writing a check for the doctor.

"Here's 35 grand. We'll settle the medication expenses after the week. You'll stay here from today onward, and you can choose any bedroom you like. Your main job is to look after him. Whatever you need, my subordinates will get it for you.

"There are two men here whom you can boss around, but no matter what, someone must always stay here to keep an eye on him. Any issues with that?" asked Karen.

The doctor's eyes lit up as he looked at the check for 35 grand.

Most of the time, business at his clinic was just average. After all those expenses, he could not even earn 35 grand in a month.

Now he could earn 35 grand in a week. He suddenly felt like he had priced himself too low.

Judging from Karen's personality and the condition of the man upstairs, he could have charged ten grand a day.
