Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 64

“Why, you open an evil clinic and don’t let me report it! The medicine you gave me, made me like this! You don’t want admit it, do you?” the man who is angry says, while the other two watch the drama play out, not supporting the man’s opinion. As soon as the man finishes speaking, many people start criticizing Alice Roberts. This man is the most serious victim among the three, and also the one who makes most of the noise outside the door. By contrast, it seems like the two men have accompanied the other man who must have2 gathered them together.

“Sir, please don't make such a fuss. If something has really happened, tell me your symptoms and I’ll take a look at it for you.”

Alice Roberts patiently explains she doesn’t want to make a big fuss about things, and that she is very confident about her medical skills. She would never prescribe the wrong medicine. There must be some misunderstanding. Unexpectedly, the men who came to make trouble don’t listen to her, and start to unreasonably verbally abuse her. “I won’t believe you anymore.” He says, refusing her. “If you commit a homicide, then who can I go to?”

“I don’t care. If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation today, I’ll take you to court!”

The man turns his face sideways, his gaze fearless as if his determination is decreasing, which doesn’t make it easy for Alice Roberts. The two men next to him also indignantly agree. “Yes, we will take you to court! You won’t continue to make money and cheat people here! You will be punished!”

The man seems so outraged, that she doesn’t think of it. These people have no idea what they are talking about. They don’t seem to be rich, and are just ordinary folk. Only if family conditions permit it, can they go to a large hospital for examination. The people who don’t have a lot of money, come to small clinics like hers to be treated.

If they want to go to the court, they will have to pay a lot of money to hire lawyers! Hearing the man’s angry words, she feels strange. During the time when she’d first opened her clinic, there had been no problems whatsoever. How to exchange for those days, when she would just diagnose patients and prescribe medicine, going about her own business.

But it isn’t as simple as it seems. Alice Roberts thinks about how she is sure that she did not prescribe the wrong medicine. Since she is sure about that, the attitude of the men today and their trouble making must be on purpose. But why would they aim themselves at her, and her private clinic!

There was no time for her to carefully think about this. The three men are now silent as they glare at her fiercely. However, several indignant passers-by come forward to fill the silence. “Such an evil woman should be taken to court!”

“Yes, since she refuses to admit it, she will be brought to court so she is exposed. If she refuses to admit it, she will be forced to admit it! How can such a woman be a doctor?”

“My brothers, we all support you. Take her to the court, let the court give you justice!”

There was a lot of discussion going around, but no one turns to Alice Roberts.

“Please calm down! Since my small clinic opened, there have been no problems at all. We all know this! Since these three gentlemen are saying that there is something wrong with my medicine, I am willing to help you solve it!” Alice Roberts says as she tries to placate the crowd.

“Look! She is trying to deny it!”

“We’ve already been made like this. What else do you want to solve? Don’t think that giving us money will make us forget. This matter can’t be solved with money. If we can’t recover our health, we will see you in court.”

Several of the men don’t listen to her explanation, and seem determined to take her to court. In the eyes of everyone present, Alice Roberts has already been cornered. “Gentlemen, I can solve your problems. But first I must know the specific situation. I don’t know what your situation is now. Can you come in so we can talk?”

Alice Roberts softens her voice for fear of upsetting them again. She doesn’t want to make things worse.

“We don't believe what you’re saying!”

“Yes! You cheated us once, and you want to cheat us again. In your dreams!”

“Even if you lose your fortune, we won't let you continue to harm people!”

Alice Roberts wants to explain, and tries to calm them down. But they aren’t going to listen to her anymore. With the sign in their hands, they slam it against the clinic door. She is so frightened that she steps back, further into the clinic, barely missing being hit by the white sign.

When the glass door of the clinic is smashed, she looks behind the door, seeing that the three men who had led the attack on her clinic have left. Seeing that the trouble is over, the passers-by do not stay any longer, and scatter to do their own things.

But Alice Roberts observes that a few passers-by follow the three men, keeping a short distance before disappearing. She remembers that the passers-by who had just taken the lead in speaking were the ones who had just followed the three men. Their criticism had aroused the dissatisfaction of other passers-by who had been watching.

Alice Roberts heart is chilled down. This matter isn’t a simple one. How could something like this happen to her clinic for no reason!

Now it seems that someone must be secretly playing tricks. She feels afraid that these people who had come to make trouble were all under the command of others!

After everything that had happened today, this wouldn’t surprise her. If it was the case, then she has nothing to fear. At first, she’d thought that because she’d prescribed the wrong medicine and caused the patient to become like this, she would have to find a way to solve the problem and make amends. Now it seems that all of that is unnecessary. What she has to do, is to find out the truth.

As expected, no one comes to the clinic the next day. Alice Roberts comes to clinic as usual, and is suddenly visited by a few police men.

“Are you Alice Roberts? This is from the victims of your clinic.” The police say as they hand her a list.

“Oh.”

With a frown she takes the list from the police man’s hand, feeling dignified.
