Chapter 205
“Trust me, Rowan. A good friend of mine introduced Dr. Wilder to me. He might be young, but he’s an excellent doctor. Just have faith in me and let him treat Dad,” Esme explained worriedly.
“Nonsense! Dad is in a poor state. We can’t have random strangers experimenting on him. Kick him out right now!” Rowan yelled.
Frowning, Sebastian addressed Rowan coldly, “The patient is in critical condition. If we don’t intervene, he’ll cough up blood and die in half an hour.”
“How dare you curse my dad?” Incensed, Rowan felt like he should take Sebastian down. Given Rowan’s martial talent, killing a man was as easy as crushing a bug
“I’m not cursing your dad. I’m just stating the facts,” explained Sebastian.
“Bullshit!” Rowan retorted flatly, “My dad might not be in the best of health, but nothing’s going to happen to him for now. If you continue spouting such claims, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
“Rowan, let Dr. Wilder try. You miss all the shots you don’t take. Trying is better than doing nothing, right?” Esme was close to pleading with Rowan.
He merely chuckled. “Of course, we’re not doing nothing. You might not have heard, but Travis has gotten in touch with Ezekiel Monas, and they’re on
their way here.”
“Did he just get hold of Ezekiel Monas?” She sounded surprised.
After all, they just met in Ravenview hours ago. It sounded more than a coincidence for “Travis to get hold of Ezekiel Monas in a few hours. Nevertheless, she was happy at the news, knowing that there was hope for her dad. Ezekiel Monas was the prodigal healer, after all
Rowan gleefully remarked, “Dad will recover soon with the help of Ezekiel Monas. As for this rascal here, get him out of our house. Travis will be upset
to see him.
Marie nodded in agreement. “Esme, Rowan is right. Travis hates it when you’re close to other men. You should get this young man to leave.”
Esme cast an apologetic glance at Sebastian. “I’m really sorry. But don’t worry, you didn’t make this trip in vain. Here’s a check for ten million dollars, Please accept it. I’ll arrange for someone to drive you back to Ravenview.”
“I don’t need the check. I just hope you don’t regret your decision.” Sebastian turned around to leave without even taking a look at the check. Rowan merely looked at him with contempt
“Dr. Wilder!” Esme ran after Sebastian and apologized again, “I’m really sorry. Since you’re Gina’s friend, I’m sure you’re well–to–do. But as you can see, my brother doesn’t trust you. There’s nothing much I can do but apologize to you.”
Sebastian had been miffed, but Esme’s endless apologies calmed his anger. He stated, “Ezekiel is a decent doctor, but he’s not at the level to treat your dad.”
Esme flashed him an awkward smile, thinking that he was bluffing. If the prodigal healer, Ezekiel Monas, failed to cure her dad, who else could?
Sebastian sensed her distrust, but he did not bother to explain himself. He handed her a pill, saying, “I refined this pill. Although it won’t cure your dad’s illness, it can save his life at the most critical moment. Please take it.”
“Thank you,” Esine expressed her gratitude and kept the pill even though she wasn’t fully convinced.
Right after Sebastian left, Travis showed up at the Bailey residence with an old man the renowned Ezekiel Monas, also known as the prodigal. Dragotha.
