Chapter 291 – Know This Much?
"Where are you having pain, my lord?" Once the door was closed shut, the physician looked at Leo with knowing eyes and Leo rolled his eyes in exchange but did not say a word.
"You should have made a better plan! Using ink to gain the attention of the girl! Since when the young lord of Thawyne family need such cheap tricks!?" Instead of being embarrassed by the words, Leo had a sly look on his face.
"But it did not work well. She had found out that something was amiss and even tried to sniff me!" His voice seemed to be aggrieved as if he was the victim here that even left the physician speechless.
"But since you are here, tell her that old wounds seem to be affected or I have developed an infection. Anything would do which made her feel I need all the care and help!" he shrugged his shoulders once again without an ounce of embarrassment!
"……." if he had not felt the cold emitting from the body of the man, he would have thought that he was fake, not real.
"Why not tell her that you have gone handicapped due to a poison that was mixed in your food and it will keep you weak for a whole month!" The physician mocked and the face of Leo was covered with a thin sheet of ice. He was looking so cold that he would kill the physician that instant.
"Evan had cooked lunch for me today!"
"…….." so, if someone else had cooked it, he was ready to lie that he had been poisoned! Hadn\'t he been given a small dose of poison for months while training and his body was poison resistant?
"How about I say that it was due to the wrong medicine!" he contemplated and the pupil of the physician shrank!
"Hmm, I think that would sound better!" He stood up abruptly leaving the stunned man behind as he took out an ink nib and a parchment and passed it to the physician.
"Make a report that I am suffering from an infection and I have to take medicine for a week! I need close attention and care all the time! Add the list of a few herbs to make it sound real! Now!" When the man did not respond, Leo added the last word in a frozen voice that shocked the man!
He forwarded his hands instantly and wrote everything as per ordered by the man.
With a satisfied smile on his face, he held the hand of the stunned physician very conveniently and took him out of the room to get his lover back. His eyes trend frosty when he saw her standing in front of the duke Grasitias.
How he had forgotten that the father of Olivia, also worked here!
"Evangeline!" Both of them turned to look at him at once and the face of duke Grasistias turned ugly.
He had just come back from the royal palace when he heard that not only was the girl there but she had already created havoc and even fired an employee.
He could not bear the insult he had faced indirectly by her actions and came personally to ask for an explanation from Leo but before he could knock the door, he saw Evan coming out and leaning on the door as if she had been running away from the ghosts.
He had just opened his mouth to scold her when the door opened again and Leo stood there with a dark face.
He was permeating cold air which was turning the whole passage chilly!
"Is there anything I can help you with, my lord?" Although Duke Graisitias was lower than them in power, he was still an elder and held a high position in the ministry.
Leo, addressed the man with respect but he continued to look at him with cold eyes as if warning to not cross your limits.
"I am here to discuss some terms with you since you are here to handle his work in his absence!" the man replied with an air full of arrogance and power as he stared at lei with challenging eyes.
"Sure, then I must welcome the lord in!" looking at the strange conversation, the physician slipped away passing the parchment to Evan as instructed.
Even she felt that she should not be there. He had just slapped the daughter of the duke due to her! If she would be there it would only create further rifts.
"I shall escort you back to your room!" she muttered but the physician declined as he took hasty steps and left from there leaving the girl to save herself on her own.
Both men were already looking at her as if waiting for her to follow them while she did not understand why she was needed in their discussion of urgent matters.
She bowed her head and followed them in with her head hung low.
As the both man seated on the sofa, duke Grastitas sat comfortably with his one leg crossed over the other as he looked at the girl and parted his lips,
"I would have one cup of freshly brewed tea. Do not add milk or sugar!"
"….." he ordered her as if she was a maid not the future duchess of the Thawyne family.
"I will call a maid and order that!" trying his best to maintain his composure, Leo stood up to ring the bell as if he did not understand the meaning behind the words of the man when he chuckled and spoke again,
"Why would that be needed? Isn\'t the girl working as your aide for today? She should be competent to do all the work done by an aide or she did not even know that much!?"
