Ava was hesitant. “But that man said…”
Brenda snapped, “Don’t worry about him. He’s crazy.”
Once she made sure Ava finished her bowl of medicinal soup, she carried Ava and left without a care.
While Frank shook his head exasperatedly as he looked on, Ferdy was grinning smugly.
“Time to go, Mr. Nutjob, or we’ll make you.”
The towering security guards strode up around Frank, surrounding him.
At the same time, Abel glanced coldly at his grandson. “Jim, you have some explaining to do.”
Jim bit his lip. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’m on it.”
After all, Frank’s diagnosis aside, he was still absolutely right about Ferdy forcing patients to purchase expensive medicine.
It was clear he had built a profit chain in Loggins Apothecary.
Even Jim was caught off guard since he had never expected this-what Ferdy did was undoubtedly a slap to his face, since he had hired Ferdy.
At the same time, Abel walked up to the security guards, frowning as he snapped, “That’s enough. Unhand Mr. Lawrence now.”
“Eh? Isn’t that Abel Loggins?”
“Abel Loggins?!”
“Mr. Loggins? Please, you have to save me…”
The room was abuzz with excitement at the very sight of Abel, as every patient rushed toward him, eager to get a moment with him.
Abel seemed to expect the situation and smiled at Frank as he said, “Mr. Lawrence, please come
with me. Our patient this time is the retainer of an illustrious family.”
“That girl…”
Frank frowned in turn, staying in place as if waiting.
Naturally, he did not want to leave since he was still worried about Ava.
Seeing that, Abel thought he was angry, and hurried to him, speaking under his breath, “There are too many people watching. Let’s head to the back…”
“No.” Frank shook his head and sighed. “You should go, Abel. I’ll catch up soon.”
“Eh?” Abel was left a little confused-he could not discern any anger in Frank’s tone, so why would he stay there?
“Frank Lawrence, was it?” Jim walked up to them, a lot less respectful than Abel, even leveling a look of contempt and exasperation at Frank.
“My grandfather is the top healer of Morhen, and him being here is going to get the other patients restless. Why don’t you do us a favor and come to the back with my Grandpa?”
Frank remained impassive and shook his head again, leaving Jim impatient. “Hey, kid.”
Ferdy strode over to them as well, nodding politely at Abel before turning toward Frank, looking at him pointedly from head to toe and snorting in disdain.
“You’re the Frank Lawrence that Mr. Loggins has been mentioning so frequently?”
He chuckled. “I would never have guessed. Also, Jim is nice enough to ask you, so could you fucking leave already? You can’t even properly diagnose a cold, so you can quit pretending already. What, are you feeling guilty?”
