My Fabulous Girl Boss

Chapter 5

Kayson nodded and replied. “I know she’s very kind. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given a passerby like me $150.” “Haha! Good that you understand!” About ten minutes or so later, Liam led Zachary into the hall. The latter greeted courteously, “Kayson!” “Dr. Ewell!” Kayson quickly got up to return the greeting. Liam still did not look quite happy with Kayson. Sadie and Beatrice came out of the kitchen, and Beatrice greeted the physician. “Dr. Ewell, you’re here. Come, have a seat!” Zachary chuckled. “Mrs. Wolfenden, you’re too nice. I feel bad that you have to prepare such a lavish spread.” “You’re my father’s savior. These dishes are nothing compared to the favor you’ve done us,” replied Beatrice. Zachary waved in dismissal. “You flatter me. If it weren’t for Kayson—” Sadie was unable to hold back any longer. “Dr. Ewell, stop speaking so nice of him. This b*stard wanted to deceive my grandfather with sh*t! “He took a few goat droppings, claiming they’re pills, and wanted my grandfather to consume them!” Liam was startled and questioned icily, “Really?” Zachary was astonished as well, feeling doubtful. “That’s impossible…” Hugh did not look too delighted, but he mediated the situation with a smile. “Nothing like that. My granddaughter’s making things up. Kayson wouldn’t do that to me.” Liam spoke tersely. “Dad, Sadie wouldn’t lie. I think it’s best we get to the bottom of this. It’ll be unsettling having someone with ulterior motives in the house!” Hugh looked worse. Liam and Sadie’s prejudice toward Kayson was truly too strong. It was just that Hugh thought they should at least save Kayson some pride when there was an outsider around. Kayson was calm, like he did not mind what was happening. Zachary could not say much, but he felt that the young man was not someone like that. “Hmm?” Zachary suddenly sniffed and asked, “Why’s there a scent?” Sadie quickly answered, “Dr. Ewell, it must be the goat droppings. I threw them away!” Zachary was alarmed and looked at the trashcan, catching sight of four pills the size of goat droppings in there. He did not care that it was a trashcan and picked one of the pills up to take a whiff. Immediately after that, the famous miracle doctor of Skyriv wore a look of disbelief. “H-How is this similar to the long-lost Panmederi pill!?” Sadie froze and felt her heart lurch. “Dr. Ewell, you must be mistaken. What do you mean Panmederi—” Zachary ignored her and looked at Kayson in thrill. “Kayson, did you concoct these? Is it the

Panmederi?” “I think so. It’s similar to the name my mentor mentioned,” answered Kayson. Zachary gasped. “Can you sell me the pills, Kayson? Whatever price you name!” Kayson chortled. “Leave one for Grandpa Hugh, and you can have the rest, Dr. Ewell.” Zachary was overjoyed as he held his breath from the excitement. “R-Really!? Thank you so much!” Liam wore a flurry of emotions while Sadie froze in shock. “D-Dr. Ewell, these are… actually medicinal pills?” Hugh asked awkwardly with a grimace. Zachary replied with a firm nod and carefully placed all four pills on the table as if they were gems. “Mr. Wolfenden Sr., the Panmederi pill is a long-lost wonder drug for healing. The formula was lost centuries ago. “In the ancient times, this was something only high-ranking military officers could enjoy! “If I weren’t a little more knowledgeable thanks to my ancestors, I wouldn’t be able to recognize these gems. These are genuine pills here, Mr. Wolfenden Sr.!” Hugh was dumbstruck. ‘They are such precious panaceas?’ Sadie was in disbelief as well. These balls that looked like goat droppings were so valuable? And she had thrown them away!? The Wolfenden heiress felt quite ashamed of herself as her face burned in embarrassment. If there were a hole on the floor, she would have buried herself in it. Liam did not expect the turn of events either and coughed dryly. “Dad, since Dr. Ewell says that it’s a potent panacea, take one.” He looked at Kayson doubtfully after that. If the medicinal pills were that effective and valuable, where did the young man get them from? Hugh snapped back to reality and chuckled. “Dr. Ewell, Kayson gave these to me. You can’t just take them!” There was no way Zachary would lose these precious gems, so he argued without a care for his image, “No way! Kayson gifted them to me just now! I can give you two of them at most! “You threw them in the trashcan, so you obviously didn’t want them anymore. I picked them up, so they’re mine.” Sadie was mortified. She would never have thrown them if she knew how precious they were! There was no use regretting it now. Hugh snorted in annoyance and turned to ask, “Kayson, can you get more of these?” “Uh…” Kayson was at a loss for an answer, but he changed his mind and shook his head upon sensing Zachary’s eager gaze. “No more, Grandpa Hugh.” Hugh was regretful and asked, “Can you concoct more then?” Kayson spread his hands weakly. “It’d be challenging since I don’t have the herbs now.” Zachary spoke up hastily. “I have a medical center, and I have herbs! Tell me what you need! I might have them!” Kayson listed off a few rare herbs casually, and Zachary replied in disappointment, “It’s

hard for me to get the herbs you mentioned too… They’re too rare!” Kayson smiled and did not answer. He actually did not need such rare materials. It was just that he was the only one who could produce the Panmederi pills, but he did not want to be making them all day long. Hugh was positively scowling. Did that mean these four Panmederi pills were all they had now?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
