Chapter 428

"Stop talking nonsense!" Autumn glared at him.

"Uncle, I

have a healing pill here. Shall we let Grandfather try it?" Patrick sudde

nly stepped forward from the crowd, holding a Gemiphen. He wouldn't take

such a risk if his grandfather's condition weren't critical.

"A healing pill?" Torben furrowed his brow. "This thing looks suspicious.

Where did you get it from?"

"A friend gave it to me," Patrick answered truthfully.

"Hah! Your friends? They're a bunch of useless people." Torben sneered. "

Take that pill away quickly, and stop embarrassing yourself here."

"Grandfather's condition is not looking good right now. I want to give it

a try. What if it actually works?" Patrick

Insisted.

"I said it's not going to work! Take it away!" Torben slapped the Gemiphe

n out of Patrick's hand.

"You-" Patrick frowned.

"What? You got a problem? Should we settle it with a fight?" Torben clenc

hed his fist, displaying his robust

muscles. Patrick was known to be a weakling in their family. Torben could

easily knock him out with a single

punch.

"I can't be bothered to talk to you!" Patrick took a deep breath and fina

lly held himself back. As he was about to pick up the Gemiphen from the g

round, a foot suddenly appeared and crushed the pill.

"What are you doing?" Patrick's face darkened.

"Hmph! What's the use of keeping such a worthless pill? What if it upsets

grandfather's

stomach?" Torben said arrogantly. While saying that, he stepped

on the pill even harder, grinding it into powder.

"Torben! You've gone too far!" Patrick clenched his fists.

"Disrespectful brat! How dare you talk to your older cousin like that?" S

pring glared at Patrick and immediately began protecting Torben.

"Uncle, he was the one being unreasonable!" Patrick furrowed his brow.

"Nonsense! My son is just concerned about his grandfather's safety. Who k

nows if that pill of yours is

poisonous?" Autumn spoke arrogantly.

"That's right! What if you're trying to harm grandfather?" Torben said ha

ughtily. With his father backing him up. they could easily bully Patrick.

"That's enough! Father is sick, and you're still bickering here and there

. What do you think you're doing?"

Spring spoke sternly. Instantly, the guys shut up.

As the eldest brother, he still carried some authority.

"They're here! Mr. Turner from Stoneray Valley has arrived!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the entrance. Soon after, a thin man in

a black robe slowly walked in with a

medicine box.

"Mr. Turner, you've come just in time. Please hurry up and take a look at

my father!" Spring quickly led the man to the bedside.

"Everyone, please remain calm. Allow me to examine him first." Nicholas s

at down slowly and began feeling Paul's pulse. After a while, his eyebrow

s furrowed. "Everyone, the patriarch's situation is grim. The internal in

juries have accumulated too long and suddenly erupted with great force. H

is meridians are shattered, and his vital energy is in disorder. With my

abilities, I'm afraid I can't do much to help."

"What?" Spring panicked.

"Mr. Turner, you're an elder of Stoneray Valley. If even you can't treat

him, who else can?"

"Unless my master comes out of seclusion. Otherwise…" Mr. Turner shook hi

s head.

"My father would have passed away by the time he comes out of seclusion!"

Autumn frowned.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Nicholas sniffed and said, "What a fragrant medicinal s

cent. Do you have any miraculous panacea here?"

"What do you mean by panacea? We would have let Grandfather take them if

we had any." Torben replied rudely.

However, Nicholas ignored him. Like a hunting dog, he kept sniffing and t

ried to search for the smell Soon, he fixated his gaze on the crushed Gem

iphen, and his face fell immediately.

"What… Who did this? Such a waste! Such a terrible waste!"
