Charlton looked at Stephanie and shook his head, “I’m fine.”
Stephanie understood Charlton. He wanted her to leave him alone and run away.
Her face darkened as she said, “Don’t touch him. I’ll go with you.”
Douglas smiled wickedly and added, “You should have done it earlier to avoid injuring innocent people. Hand over the communication device, and don’t try any tricks!”
“I didn’t bring any,” Stephanie said.
Douglas gestured to the man in suit. “Check her pocket.”
The man in the suit nodded after checking. “There is only a set of silver needles with her, and there is no communication device.”

The man stared at him and said in a low voice, “Do you want to die?”
Giovanni sneered. “I’m not scared of you. If you don’t come out, I’ll come in!”
Before the man in suit could react, Giovanni leaped over the counter. He aimed punches at the man’s face, but the man quickly brandished a knife.

“How can you blame the doctor for the patient’s problem?” Stephanie retorted.
Douglas grabbed her by the neck and said, “You’re so stubborn. You better cure me now, or else I’ll kill you.”
“Okay. But will you let me go after I cure you?” Stephanie smiled.
“Of course!” Douglas let go of his grip.
