"Right! We offended Dr. Shadow because of you back then. There's no taking back your word!"

"Tell us, when are you going to pay us? If you don't, we'll tear this clinic down!"

"Y-You!" Everly almost fainted due to anger.

A supplier with credibility shouldn't act this way. They were acting no less different from loan sharks!

At first, they caused a racket to demand their stock back. Now that they couldn't sell them off, they returned to her to demand payment!

Despite the fury, she did her best to talk some sense into them. "Listen, I've paid the deposit, and you don't have to return the money. Think of it as borrowing the herbs with interest. You can take the herbs back, and I don't have to make the final payment."

The suppliers began discussing among themselves. As businessmen, they figured that it wasn't that bad to earn the deposit without supplying anything. If they could retrieve the herbs, they could sell them to Dr. Shadow too!

Perfect!

Just when Everly thought that she managed to convince the suppliers, a nurse hurriedly ran out of the clinic. "Ms. Chime, this is bad! The storage is leaking, and the herbs are wet due to the rainstorm!" Everly was crestfallen. "What?"

"The water in the storage wasn't disposed of in time, so many of the herbs have rotten. We're counting the stocks right now to see how many are intact," the nurse continued. Everly flopped onto the ground, her eyes losing their focus and her head buzzing.
