Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 209

Zach could easily afford the 200 million dollars and would even consider buying the clinic for Yolanda if her funds fell short. The issue was that the clinic simply wasn't worth that amount.

As a businessman, he despised price gouging and dishonesty. Baxter was doing both, and if Baxter weren't a friend of his elder, he would have already left with Yolanda.

"What's the matter? If you can't come up with 200 million, how about curing my granddaughter's illness then? If you can truly do that, I'll give you the clinic for free!" Baxter said as he settled into his chair and began examining the first patient in the waiting area.

Zach's frustration grew since Baxter was being unreasonable. "You can't even diagnose your granddaughter's illness, yet you want Yolanda to treat her. Isn't that just putting her in a difficult position?"

Baxter ignored him and focused intently on the patient before him.

The other patients exchanged bewildered glances as they sensed that he was acting unusually aloof—completely unlike his usual warm demeanor.

"Yolanda, let's go!" Zach didn't want to waste any more time here.

"You should have left long ago!" Baxter retorted coldly. "If you can't produce 200 million, get out then!"

"Is this how a doctor should act?"

Zach was genuinely angry. He originally intended to leave with Yolanda, but he now felt compelled to confront Baxter.

"For a doctor to be dishonest, to raise your price so outrageously, and to speak so harshly—you're not worthy—"

"Uh…" He blinked as he began to understand the situation.

"Dr. Pattinson thinks I'm too young and doubts my medical skills. Even if I had the money to take over the clinic, he believes I wouldn't be able to treat patients effectively. If I were to mess things up, it would tarnish Willow Creek Clinic's reputation.

"That's why he's raised the price to 200 million—to dissuade me. However, he's also given me a challenge—if I can't produce that money but can cure his granddaughter, it proves my skills surpass his. Then, he wouldn't have to worry about handing over the clinic.

"Dr. Pattinson may seem contradictory, but he's actually considering the welfare of the regular patients here, which is what truly makes him a doctor."

After explaining, Yolanda turned her gaze back to Baxter. "Well, Dr. Pattinson? Am I right?"
