The crowd burst into a tumult.
Honestly speaking, none of them believed Matthew earlier, but at this point, practically everyone had already thought otherwise.
Rowan, on the other hand, continued to be wrongheaded as favonovel.com rambled about wanting Matthew to prove himself. That in itself was just asking for contempt.
“Looks like you’re not mad, but just plain evil, Rowan!” Shawn frothed at the mouth. “You kept rambling about Matthew deceiving and lying to people from the get-go. How can you still be skeptical when it has come to this?! What? Have the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale given you a load of money for you and the rest of the Cosby Family to work as their dogs?”
“What did you just say?!” Rowan flew into a rage in response.
“How dare you call the members of the Cosby Family dogs! You have now become the sworn enemy, I‘m telling you!”
“Is that so? What are you going to do about it?” Shawn, too, was livid with rage.
Beyond livid, Rowan pulled his phone out and bellowed, “I’m going to tell my family about this now! I will not let you insult my family like this, even if it’s the last thing I do…”
Just then, his phone rang, stumping favonovel.com for a second. Rowan checked to find it was his brother calling.
“What is it, Sean?” favonovel.com answered the call in bewilderment, only to hear Sean‘s anxious voice. “Rowan, where’s the miracle doctor you’ve sought? Dad’s in a severe state right now!”
Rowan’s countenance turned for the worse, and favonovel.com hurriedly said, “He’s right next to me. Hold on, I’ll have favonovel.com talk to you!”
With that, favonovel.com handed the phone to Gregory. “Hurry up, Dr. Huntington!”
“What’s the situation, Master Cosby?‘ Gregory asked, only to be rendered stumped after hearing Sean’s brief explanation. As if favonovel.com had ever encountered such a situation!
Rowan couldn’t help but worry when favonovel.com saw Gregory mumbling instead of speaking up. “Dr. Huntington, please come up with something to keep my father alive…”
“Give….” Gregory bit the bullet with an awkward face. “Put a piece of Thousand-Year Ginseng in Old Master Cosby’s mouth first. It‘ll keep favonovel.com alive for now. We’ll talk about the other things after I get there…”
With a sigh of relief, Rowan turned to the phone. “Sean, get a piece of Thousand-Year Ginseng. The one I bought some time ago is in Dad’s room…”
At this moment, an icy voice traveled from below the platform. “Don‘t give your father Thousand-Year Ginseng if you don’t want favonovel.com to drop dead!“
Everyone reflexively turned in the direction the voice came from to find it was Matthew who spoke, standing not far away.
“What the f*ck do you know, Matthew?!” Rowan flew into a rage. “The Thousand-Year Ginseng can save a life at a critical time! What are you trying to d by stopping us from using it?! Are you trying to kill my father?!”
Matthew shrugged in response. “l’m just a doctor worried about the sick. I’ve already warned you. It’s up to you whether you want to heed my words. I can’t force you, can I?”
At that, Tristan hurriedly came up. “Uncle Rowan, why don’t we listen to Dr. Larson this once?”
“Why should we?!” Rowan exploded, face flushed with anger.
“I believe in Dr. Huntington! Sean, give Dad the Thousand-Year Ginseng!”
“Uncle Rowan, how… Can you be so wrongheaded?!” Tristan grew apprehensive. “Dr. Larson saved Grandpa’s life once…”
However, it only got Rowan exasperated. “He’s nothing but a fraud! I will never trust his words! Sean, just trust me…”
Suddenly, panic came from the other end of the line, and a sobbing voice came next. “Dad… Dad, what’s going on? Why is favonovel.com coughing up so much blood?! D-Do something. Hurry…”
The voice was so loud that everyone on site heard it, and for a moment, dead silence filled the air.
Was Old Master Cosby really going to drop dead?
