My Useless Ex-husband is Secretly A Medical Genius

8. Poison

Chapter 8

Upon hearing the words from Rooney, the Doctor suddenly felt agitated. He cowered in fear, he knew what the Gallagher's family could do. 

Anything coming out from them, they really mean it. Quickly, he stuttered as he tried to beg for forgiveness. 

“Please Mr Rooney, I'm sorry for the mistake. It won't happen again, my injection hasn't worked on him. It was Killian who treated the Lord.” He claimed, trying to appease Rooney. 

Everyone was glaring at him disdainfully, and wondered how he could be shameless to claim what he didn't do. 

Obviously, his apologies won't work. Rooney shot him a deadly glare and said, “If you've claimed you're not good enough to save the Lord's life, it would be better and okay." He paused, and looked into his eyes sternly, “But you tried to stop Mr Killian from saving the Lord just only to save your dignity. Do you think I will forgive you for that? No!”

“Please Mr Gallagher, accept my apologies! Just use this as a warning to me. It won't repeat itself." Dr. Herald begged fearfully. 

Rooney gave a deaf ear to his pleas, and ordered the security guards to beat him to a pulp. 

Dr Herald cried for help as he was dragged out by the hefty security guards. He was in trouble and couldn't escape from suffering. 

After that, everyone rushed towards Killian, and appreciated him for saving the Lord's life. 

“Thank you Mr Killian! If not for you, the Lord would have died of poison. You save the Gallagher's life.”

Rooney came forward and began to say, “I'm really stupid for not giving you a chance earlier. With your appearance, I thought you wouldn't be able to know anything about Lord's illness. But I was wrong, you treated, cured, and redeemed my father's life. 

Thank you so much, Mr Killian! I will always be grateful for what you did for the Gallagher's family today." he appreciated Killian's kindness. 

Killian nodded his head while he smiled deeply. He could see he was sincere about his apologies. 

“You don't have to worry about that, Mr Rooney! You don't need to thank me, it is my job to save life. I just want to tell you not to look down on people anymore. You shouldn't judge a book by its cover.” Killian muttered. 

Quickly, Rooney nodded his head, “Sure! I learnt my lesson today! It won't ever happen again. Thank you once again, Mr Killian!”

Killian nodded his head gently, “Good! One more thing Mr Rooney, it was not the fault of the medicine produced by Paige's Pharmaceutical company but it was someone who used an ancient poison in Africa to assassinate the Lord.”

Everyone exclaimed, “Poison! Assassinated! Who could that be? And what's the reason for that?" They wondered aloud as they felt shocked by Killian's revelation. 

“So it wasn't Paige's Pharmaceutical company and we've humiliated her severely." Rooney muttered in anger. 

Quickly, he turned to Paige, “Ms. Bellingham, can you forgive our family like this? We've humiliated you on this matter not knowing it was from another place, and not your company. 

Ms. Bellingham, Please, we are very sorry for the rude approach, and comments. We deserve to be punished but please forgive us!”

Every member of the family nodded their head in support. Some even went on their knees to tender their apologies. 

Paige, on the other hand, was feeling elated. Killian had just cleared her name. She couldn't be more than grateful, only God knows where she would have been if not for Killian's skills. 

“Apologies accepted! I'm grateful the Master is getting better, and also there wouldn't be charges against the Pharmaceutical company, right?” Paige said, with a smile beaming on her face. 

“Sure, there won't be charges anymore. We will definitely look for the person who tried to kill the Lord." Rooney affirmed, his tone was laced with authority. 

“From now on, we will resume the co-operation with your company, Miss Bellingham and also, Mr Killian will be one of our most respectful guests in the Gallagher Family. 

You are welcome at any time, and if you need any help in anything, we are here to render.” Rooney muttered, and everyone nodded their heads in support. 

Killian was overwhelmed by Rooney’s antics. He was respectful and kind. 

“You don't have to say that, Mr Rooney. I'm just doing my job!" He muttered, yet the Gallaghers didn't bother about it but appreciated him more. 

After the Lord himself appreciated Killian for saving his life, Paige and Killian left the Gallagher's mansion. 

At the garage, Paige couldn't help but tear out appreciatively, and said, “Mr. Holland, you don't know what you've done for me. I would still be in the hands of the Gallaghers if not for your intervention. 

Thank you! Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kindness, you just saved the company and I. If there's anything you want me to do for you, I will surely do it.” Paige Bellingham cried out in appreciation. 

Killian was surprised, though it was something to be thankful for but he had never expected her to cry out in front of him. 

“You don't have to worry about anything, Paige! I just have to do what's right and that's by saving the Pharmaceutical company and the life of the Lord.” Killian said. 

Paige felt happy once again, and said to Killian. “Now that they proved the medicine had no problem, is it the time to convene a press conference and a business party to save the company's reputation?”

Killian nodded his head in support, “Sure, that's the right thing to do!"

Paige chimed, “Really? Okay then, What about I invite you to join the party? I would really love to give you a surprise at the party! Please, would you love to attend?” She asked, staring keenly at Killian while she longed for his response. 

Killian noticed the brightened expression on her face, and couldn't decline her invite. 

“Sure! If that is what you want, I will be there.” Killian answered.
