Rowan saw Hugo staring at Matthew and calling him a miracle doctor.
He thought Hugo had made a mistake. Hugo's eyesight had always been poor. Sometimes, he couldn't even distinguish between men and women.
"Dad, this man is just a fraud. Don't pay him any attention. Nowadays, there are all sorts of scoundrels trying to trick their way into our family."
Hugo squinted. He examined Matthew closely. The more he looked, the more convinced he became. "Are you… Miracle Doctor?"
Matthew responded coldly, "What? Now that you've recovered, you don't recognize me anymore?"
Upon hearing his voice, Hugo immediately stepped forward. "It really is you! It's such an honor to have you here. Your presence graces our humble abode!"
Rowan frowned. Even if Matthew had treated Hugo, there was no need for such enthusiasm. Medical treatment was just another business transaction.
Given the Lloyd family's current status, should Hugo be this respectful to a doctor?
Matthew snorted. "Stop pretending. Your son just tried to kick me out. He called me a scoundrel. Your family's standards are too high. I can't measure up!"
Hugo froze. He turned to Rowan and rebuked him. "Apologize to Dr. Grant! How dare you disrespect him?"
Rowan frowned. Not only was Matthew there, but three guards were also watching. He was the head of the Lloyd family, yet he was being humiliated like this.
Unable to hold back, he retorted. "Dad, even if he cured you, we paid him to treat you. Do we really need to be so grateful toward him?"
Hugo trembled with anger. "Do you even know what disease I had?"
Rowan dismissed it. "Wasn't it just…"
