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 have 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."
