Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1934

“Are you sure?” The man looked at her questioningly.

“I am.” She raised her chin and challenged him with a firm stare.

With her clinic messed up like this, she had to stand her ground! The doctor’s hands balled into two tight fists.

“Let me warn you, old hag. Come clean, and save yourself a world of pain,” the man said as he lashed his whip menacingly.

What a joke! Does he think I’m afraid of him?

The woman pursed her lips in contempt.

“Let me say that apart from you lot, I’ve never had animals in here. Besides, I’m a doctor, not a vet!”

The man regarded her with suspicion.

Was she not fearful before? How is she so calm now?

“Aren’t you afraid?” he asked.

She rolled her eye at him and smirked.

“What’s there to fear about you? Do you think you can get away with killing me? Hilarious.” The doctor shook her head and taunted, “For all you know, we might be on a live stream right now,”.

The man immediately relinquished his grip on her and checked his own attire.

“Search the place for surveillance equipment. Now!” he barked.

What a bunch of fools!

The doctor rubbed her hands and regarded the men with displeasure. She was curious to see what they could find.

“Nothing, Boss!”

“I’ve nothing here either.”

When the leader made a beeline for the doctor, she panicked.

She thought that her little lie would scare them off. Never did she expect them to be this thorough.

Larry, oh Larry. When are you going to show up?

The doctor shrunk and retreated.

“To the best of my knowledge, this is the village’s public clinic,” he said as he twitched his nose.

Larry sneered. Although he knew the men would come, their arrival was sooner than he had expected.

“I’ve already bought over the clinic. It now belongs to me,” he replied.

The air became stilled in an instant.

“Look at what they’ve done, Mr. Norton. The medicine is no longer usable.” The doctor purposefully ran up and complained to Larry.

Damned hag!

The leading thug glared at her with fists clenched.

F*ck it. I’ll just take you down with me!

“We’re just looking for one of our guys, Larry. I saw him come in here myself,” the leader whispered as he looked at his whip.

“What’s that you say? Looking for someone? Surely this is not the way to go about with it?” Larry pointed at the mess on the floor.

“Let’s get out of here, Boss. We can’t afford to offend Mr. Norton.” A young man said as he nudged at the arm of his own leader.
