The Revenge Of The Rejected Son-in-law

Chapter 6 | Quack Doctor? You can't Save the Lord

CHAPTER SIX

After listening to Jennifer's raging words, he gave out an exasperated sigh. 

He didn't want to argue anything with her, he just cut off the line. 

Jennifer fumed when she saw the call was aborted. She turned to her Mother, “The bastard just cut me off! Can you imagine, Mother?”

Jessica Rodriguez snorted angrily, “Roman needs to be arrested. He had offended us and surely, we must take revenge.”

“Try getting some thugs and get him captured.” She added, gritting her teeth furiously. 

Jennifer nodded her head in response, “Sure Mom! I will get it done. Atkinson must have his revenge on Roman.” She sneered. 

In a luxurious mansion, people were gathered in one place. Worries were displayed on their faces. 

The Lord of the Xander Family was unconscious on the bed. The Xander Family had worries and fear on their faces. 

They were anxiously waiting for someone, they felt restless. 

One of the Xander family members spoke out in rage. “Where is she? When is she bringing the cure? We've been waiting for the past two hours and nothing is yet to be done.” 

“If anything happens to the Lord, I won't take it easy with her. I assure you!” He added, walking to and fro in the room. 

Everyone was worried as well. They looked at the Master of the Xander who had turned pale. 

While the room was tense, someone ran into the room and announced. 

“She is here! Angelique Brown is here!” the person uttered.

The moment Angelique Brown walked into the room, everyone stood up to her. 

One of them spewed out angrily, “What makes you come late? You want the Master of the Xander to die. If anything happens to him, you are going to face my wrath.”

“You are to be blamed for all that is going on with the Master! Your company produced a fake drug which caused the Master's sudden illness.”

“If anything happens to the Master, your companies will be liquidated and I'm going to make sure the Brown Family suffers!”

Hearing the angry words of the Xander Family members, Angelique sighed frustratingly. 

They wouldn't have been talking to her like this if the Pharmaceutical companies hadn't made mistakes on the drug. 

For the sake of the company's reputation, she had to tolerate the insults. 

Angelique voiced out, “Everyone, you need to be calm. I'm also trying my best to save the Lord of Xander.”

She continued to say, “Look here, I brought a doctor that could treat the Lord's illness.” She pointed at Roman, putting smiles on her face. 

Everyone's gaze turned to the direction she was pointing at. When they glanced at the person, they were disappointed because Roman was young and he wouldn't have had any experience in Medicine.

The first son of the Lord of Xander, Reuben, angrily shouted at her. “Angelique, what do you mean he is the doctor?  Don't you see how young and inexperienced he is? I don't believe this, are you trying to get my father killed?” 

The other members supported him, “Yes, you are right! Is this how you are going to treat our Master? Don't be ridiculous, Angelique. Could your Doctor know about what's wrong with the Master?” 

“I can see you are trying to kill the Master of the Xander Family. Look at how shabby your Doctor looks! Are you sure he isn't a quack Doctor?”

Everyone bursted into laughter as they stared at him in disgust. They all looked at Roman as an inexperienced doctor and wouldn't be able to treat the Old Master of the Xander. 

Roman frowned slightly, they didn't know him and now, they are mocking him. He could see how arrogant they were. 

Still, he didn't bother to utter anything from his mouth. 

Reuben spoke directly at Angelique, “As if we knew you are incompetent. We've called an experienced Doctor and he will be here anytime soon.”

At that moment, the Doctor walked into the room, and Reuben rushed towards him instantly, “Dr. McKenzie, Please save my father! You are our last hope!”

The Doctor known as McKenzie is ranked among the Top 20 doctors in the city. 

So everyone believes he is the right person to cure the Lord's illness. 

Smiling, he uttered. “You don't have to worry about anything! The Lord of Xander will wake up soon!”

Hearing that, the family members heaved a sigh of relief while Reuben turned to Angelique Brown, “By the time my father wakes up, the Brown's corporation is going to be ruined.”

“You are going to be punished severely, I will never go back on my words!” He added, his tone tinged with fury and wrath. 

Angelique cowered in fear, and stuttered, “Mr. Xander, you don't have to do this; Let's settle this amicably. The Lord will be up on his feet very soon!” She implored,  “Why don't let Mr Roman gives it a try first?’’

Reuben flared angrily, “What nonsense are you sputtering out of your mouth? How can you suggest that I let your quack doctor treat my father? You really want my father dead, Angelique!”

Angelique was short of words. She didn't understand why they all disagreed to let Roman treat the Lord. 

Roman, on the other hand, didn't bother to meddle into their conversation. He walked closer to the bed and inspected the Lord of Xander. 

Due to his ability, he was able to identify the type of illness. 

“The Lord's illness is not ordinary, and it won't be easy to cure it.” He stated, and all attention turned to him. 

Reuben refuted. “What are you doing over there? You are nothing but a quack Doctor. You don't know anything about the illness, so move away!”

The Doctor walked closer to him, and smirked rudely, “What do you know, gentleman? Are you telling me you know what's wrong with the Lord? C'mon, you are just an ordinary doctor, and you wouldn't be able to know what is wrong with him.”

With that, the Doctor pushed him slightly away from the bed and inspected the old man. 

He turned to Reuben, and mumbled, “The Lord's sickness can't be cured completely but it has to be maintained through drugs!” 

Roman frowned deeply at the doctor, and disagreed, “That isn't true. The illness can be cured but it's not an easy task. It has a cure.”

Doctor McKenzie grabbed him on the collar, and refuted. “Gentleman, you have to keep shut. Do you want to teach me how I'm going to do my job?”

Roman was angry. He pushed the doctor, and reaffirmed. “I'm telling the truth. The Lord's illness can be cured. You just have to trust me!”

Reuben snapped angrily, “Angelique, where have you gotten this man? Can you see how he manhandles the doctor?”

“Please, Mr McKenzie! Can you continue with the treatment? I just want my father to be alive, he doesn't deserve to die now!”

Dr McKenzie nodded his head slightly, and started to inject the Lord. 

Roman was terrified and shouted at the doctor, “You are killing the old man! You can't cure him using this.” He turned to Reuben, “You need to stop him! He is killing the old man!” He muttered but no one believed him. 

Yet they shouted at him, “You are nothing compared to Dr McKenzie! Do you know who he is? He is one of the Top 20 doctors  in our city and you are claiming he doesn't know what he is doing!”

“You really need to be punished for slandering Dr McKenzie! This is an embarrassment to him!”

“If you utter any more words, you are going to be beaten to a pulp!” This time around it was Reuben. He flared him contemptuously. 

Noticing how Xander's family had threatened him, Roman decided not to say anything again as he watched the doctor perform his duties. 

However, within some minutes, the Lord's face turned pale and his heart rate reduced sharply. 

“What's going on, Doctor? Why is the Lord's condition getting worse?" 

Roman was the first to notice it, and attracted the attention of others. 

Murmurs filled the room instantly, as they all looked panicked.
