Karma Strikes Back

Synopsis

I had arranged a full-body check-up for my in-laws, Paul and Mavis Lancaster. We had just arrived at the VIP ward when Caleb Lancaster's private doctor, Mandy Fox, yanked the IV tube from Mavis's hand. Blood spurted out instantly. Mandy, her face twisted in disgust, grabbed a bottle of disinfectant and sprayed it directly in Paul and Mavis's faces. "Ms. Townsend, I know you come from a lowly background, but Mr. Lancaster's exclusive VIP ward isn’t some place for your country bumpkin parents to mooch off," Mandy sneered. "Mr. Lancaster pays me millions every year, and my job is to keep leeches like your kind away. "This imported miracle drug costs 30 thousand dollars a shot. Giving it to your parents who are practically at death's door is a total waste. I've already replaced it with the cheapest saline drip." I looked at Paul and Mavis, their faces twisted in rage and pain, and immediately realized that Mandy had mistaken my in-laws, Belleville's wealthiest, for my parents, who were just farmers from the countryside. I was about to speak when Paul, clutching his chest in anger, was about to leave. Mandy let out a cold laugh and immediately ordered the security guards to hold them down firmly. "Do you think you can just leave after dirtying Mr. Lancaster's sterile ward? No way!" she snapped. "Toss these two old geezers out into the snow. Let them freeze a bit and remember what pathetic lives they really have."
