Chapter 1715 - Deceived by Eden
A deep sadness filled the room as everyone remained silent.
Although Rowan did not look at his uncle, he could sense his gaze fixed on him, observing his
expression.
So Uncle just used the excuse of Prince Taylor wanting to see Father to barge in and probe the
situation.
Although he did not yet have evidence, Rowan was more convinced in his heart that Uncle was the
murderer who wanted to kill Father.
Rowan looked silent on the outside but rage boiled within. He was usually quiet and appeared to havenovelbin
no power or influence, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.
"Send him away. I won't see anyone," the king said as he took the cup of water from his son and
painfully drank a sip before weakly closing his eyes again.
Rowan quickly set down the cup and helped Father lie back down slowly.
Eden also bent down to help since the patient's body was very weak. Although the king had lost some
weight, he still weighed around 150 pounds.
After the two helped the king lie down comfortably, Rowan tucked him in with the blanket.
Eden looked at the king, then at Rowan, before stepping away towards the exit.
To avoid arousing Uncle's suspicions, he had to detoxify Father's poison first. So Rowan also followed
him out with a still grieving expression.
"Uncle," Rowan said heavily as they reached the grand hall. "Father coughed up black blood again this
morning. I estimate... he probably won't make it through the week."
Eden stopped and looked at Rowan expressionlessly before consoling, "Sickness and death are
natural parts of life."
Then he reached out and patted Rowan on the shoulder. "Louis, try to take it easy. Since he wants your
company, it's best if you stay by his side without leaving so you'll have fewer regrets in life."
Watching his burly uncle's back as he walked away, Rowan's eyes flashed with something.
Uncle did not empathize or show any sadness or distress.
The division of labor was very clear now - Mr. Marsh was in charge of finding evidence while saving
Father was his own responsibility. Claire was responsible for relaying information between them.
Rowan withdrew his gaze and returned to the room, locking the door behind him.
Hearing the familiar footsteps, the king also slowly opened his eyes. "Louis."
Rowan came to stand by the bed and listened as he said, "I want to pass the throne to you now and
notify all royal family members to convene a meeting."
"No," Rowan said cautiously. "The fewer people you come in contact with now the better. Eden can't
see your true condition, but that doesn't mean others can't either. There are some shrewd people and
doctors who will notice you look much better."
The king was silent as his son's words made sense.
It wasn't that the king lacked confidence in his health, but he desperately wanted his eldest son to take
the position so he could feel at peace, not wanting anyone else eyeing the throne.
At that moment, in the palace with two beautiful peacocks standing guard at the door,
"Why did Mrs. Marsh come?" Jolie had a bad feeling she couldn't pinpoint. "I heard she's pregnant.
Shouldn't she be home safely nurturing the baby?"
"Although their eldest son and daughter are six or seven," Catherine said lightly while sipping tea on
the couch, "they've been separated all these years. Strictly speaking, they're still in their honeymoon
phase." So she could understand.
But Jolie remained suspicious, feeling something was off.
Catherine had absolute faith in Ivan. Construction on the castle had begun and she was very involved,
as was Ivan. The two often ran into each other at the construction site.
Catherine was confident they had become good friends fighting side by side.
