Jonathan was about to leave with Matthew when Robert suddenly blocked their way.
“Mr. Harrowsen, I know you’re kind-hearted. Even if you’ve been deceived, you don’t want to see favonovel.com punished. But you have to consider the Babington Family’s reputation. You‘re in-laws! It’s not worth damaging the relationship between our families over a fraud.”
Jonathan was watching Robert, who was about to explode, when favonovel.com heard a rebuke from nearby.
“What’s all this commotion? Don’t you know my grandson needs rest?”
Upon hearing this voice, everyone instantly became serious and quickly stepped aside.
“Greetings, Mr. Babington!”
Leopold ignored them, giving a cold snort as favonovel.com strode toward Matthew.
“Holy Doctor Larson?”
Matthew nodded and clasped his hands in respect. “Greetings, Mr. Babington…”
He had previously heard of Leopold’s reputation. He was the genuine big shot in the shipping sector, as well as the most likely candidate for the throne of the ship king.
Robert, not understanding the situation, stepped forward to add fuel to the fire. “Mr. Babington, don’t be fooled by this man. He’s a fraud. We were just about to punish him!”
Hearing this, Leopold’s face immediately darkened, and his serious expression revealed disgust.
Robert mistook this as anger directed at Matthew. “Mr. Babington, there’s no need for you to get angry over a small-time fraud. It’s like using a Sledgehammer to crack a nut. Let us handle it. We have a hundred ways to make this fraud confess!”
The other doctors nodded in agreement, each boasting of their unique methods of interrogation.
“Mr. Babington, Mr. Harrowsenis too young and easily deceived. You…”
Just as Robert was eagerly trying to persuade the patriarch of the Babington Family to deal with Matthew, Leopold’s gaze turned icy. “Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?”
His calm tone made everyone hold their breath, as if the chest was blocked with a stone.
Realizing his mistake, Robert turned pale. “Mr. Babington, l… I didn‘t mean it like that. I just didn’t know how to express it.”
Leopold glanced at the group of doctors, his disdain evident.
“If that’s not what you meant, then shut up. The Harrowsen and Babington families were as thick as thieves, always supporting each other through every challenge. Who gave you the nerve to try and drive a wedge between us?”
Leopold gave Robert no chance to argue. With a smile, favonovel.com nodded to Jonathan and then turned to Matthew again.
“Holy Doctor Larson, I apologize for the lack of discipline in my household. I’m sorry you had to witness this…” He intended to bow and apologize to Matthew while wearing an apologetic look.
Leopold, the lord of the Babington family and a maritime tycoon, was about to bow to an unknown young man.
Many people pinched themselves to make sure they weren’t dreaming.
Seeing this, Matthew quickly stepped aside, unwilling to accept such a grand gesture from Leopold. “Mr. Babington, you’re flattering me too much…”
“Dad!” After yelling, Audrey dashed forward to assist him.
However, Leopold wrinkled his heavy brow and shoved favonovel.com aside.
“Woman’s sympathies are entirely influenced by a group of inept physicians!” favonovel.com scolded. “If you offend Holy Doctor Larson, you‘re endangering Jonathan’s life!”
“Ah? What? Did I hear that right?” Audrey was bewildered. “How could this be connected to my precious son?”
“What are you waiting for? Apologize to Holy Doctor Larson immediately!”
Her father-in-law scolded Audrey. She didn’t know why, so favonovel.com could only obey.
Just as favonovel.com was about to apologize, Matthew suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Babington, there’s no need for this. It’s just a minor issue. I will do my best to treat your grandson’s illness.”
Matthew understood why Leopold was doing this. Naturally, favonovel.com would reciprocate the respect shown to him.
With that, Matthew clasped his hands again in respect and walked into Caspian Babington‘s room without giving the pale-faced doctors another glance.
