“Hey, you’re being unreasonable!”
“Right? How dare she scolds the others when she’s the culprit? I’ve never seen someone as
outrageous as her!
“Talk no more. Let’s report her to the police!”
The crowd was annoyed at Jane’s arrogance and pointed fingers at her.
“Shut up! All of you!” Hands on her waist, Jane yelled at them, “Do you know that we’re the Nicholsons
from Glenstead? Even your mayor has to show us respect, let alone you worthless plebs! Make more
fuss, and I’ll get you arrested!”
The usatory voices instantly died down. An average citizen would not want to get on the bad side of
the famed aristocratic Nicholson family from Glenstead.
“Mom, just ignore those peasants. Look at this. I’m hurt.” The young woman, Dakota Nicholson,
suddenly spoke up as she pressed against her wound and winced.
“Are you hurt? Let me take a look!” Jane’s expression crumbled, and she hurriedly checked out
Dakota’s injury. “Gosh, it’s bleeding. This is not good. Her face paled, and she scanned the
surroundings until her eyesnded on Dustin. “Hey, you’re a doctor, aren’t you? Quick, give my
daughter a checkup! She’s hurt!” Anyone would have thought that Dakota contracted a terminal
disease from the worried look on Jane’s face.
“She’s fine. It’s just a scrape on the elbow.” Dustin turned around and nced at Dakota’s injury before
looking away.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
“What do you mean? A scrape?” Jane immediately looked irritated. “My precious daughter has never
suffered injuries. But she has a huge wound now. Of course we’ll have to treat it with caution. What if
an infection happens?
“If you’re worried about wound infection, buy a bandaid at the pharmacy next door. If you keep dilly–
dallying. the wound’s going to heal by the time you get to it,” Dustin.mocked her. He had never seen a
woman as ridiculous as Jane, who kicked up a fuss over a tiny wound.
“What did you say? How could you ignore my daughter’s injury when you’re a doctor? Are you even
human, you fuckface?” Jane was truly cross. No one had ever turned down her requests ever since
she married into the wealthy Nicholson family.
“I have to set my priorities. This girl is fighting for her life. Your daughter’s wound is nothingpared
to hers! * Dustin chided her.
“How dare youpare that peasant to my daughter?” With a re, Jane rebuked him, “Dakota is the
daughter of the Nicholson family–she’s important and precious! You cannotpare her to a
commoner!”
“Yeah! She’s just a nobody. Well, if she dies today, just consider it her wretched fate!” The haughty
Dakota towered over them. “Treat my wound now! It’s an order. If I get a scar from this, I will not let you
off the hook!”
“Are you even human? Nobody speaks in that way.”
“That’s right. Is a life worth less than your minor scrape?”
The indignant crowd gave their opinions.
“What now? Are you testing me? The audacity to talk back to the Nicholson family! Come here! Which
one of
you wants to be the hero?” Jane hissed maliciously as the onlookers held in their rage in silence in the
face of her insolence. Indeed, the average citizens were helpless when harassed and bullied by the
rich.
“Madam, my daughter is in a critical state. Can you kindly allow her to get the treatment? Just think of
this as my plea!” The woman in white plopped onto the ground with teary eyes.
“Hmph! Knock it off! I don’t care! My daughter has to be treated first!” Jane refused to budge.
“Are you deal? Do you hear what my mom said?” Dakota kicked Dustin but was infuriated when the
man showed no response. “So, you’re refusing to treat my wound. Great! Don’t bother saving anyone
today!” With
that, she went up to the young girl and pulled out the gold needle.
With the gold needle removed, the young girl started bleeding profusely again, and her face grew paler
because of that.
“Hm?” Dustin frowned and spun around with a deadly stare in his eyes. “Do you know what you’re
doing? You might kill someone by pulling out the needle without thought!”
“So what? You can’t save any life without my permission.” Dakota crossed her arms on her chest,
looking bold and arrogant.
Jane chimed in with the same attitude. “That’s right! If you don’t treat my daughter’s wound, you won’t
get to
save that uselessmoner!”
“Please Please show mercy and stop making things difficult for the doctor. I beg of you!” The woman in
white kneeled and pleaded to the Nicholsons, all while hitting her head on the ground. She knew she
could not
afford to get on the bad side of the wealthy; her only wish was to keep her daughter safe.
“Try messing around again, and I won’t go easy on you next time!” Dustin warned Dakota.
She scoffed. “Oh! You got the guts, don’t you? Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me in
that way? Did you tell me not to touch anything? Well, I’m going to do it anyway!” While speaking, she
moved to remove the needle again.
“Get lost!” Fuming. Dustin gave her a p across the face. She yelped as she was flung ten feet away,
even rolling on the ground afternding. Her fair skin was red and swollen. She even lost a few of her
dental
“Shit! That doctor is mad! How dare he p a Nicholson?”
“Being hot–blooded is one thing; offending the Nicholsons is another. He might suffer because of it.”
The crowd murmured and cast sympathetic nces at Dustin.
“H–how dare you hit me?” Dakota got up from the ground, still a little dizzy and utterly baffled by
Dustin’s move. From a young age, she was treated like a princess wherever she went. She had never
been pped, not to mention being pped in public.
“So what? Don’t you deserve the p for being rude?” Dustin wore a hostile expression on his face.
“How dare you hit my daughter? I’m going to fight you!” After the initial shock, Jane recovered and, her
blood boiling, sheunched an attack on Dustin. He merely pped her, and she copsed from the
impact. The mother and daughter both fell t onto the ground.
