Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Why are you getting agitated ? I have said nothing, since talking to a fool is a waste of time."

"And you think you are too smart? You do not even know how to present yourself in front of others and how to write and do other things.

This is not you but your inferiority complex is talking. If you are so worried about what others think of you, then you should have spent more time learning things rather than insulting others to feel good." she snarled as she took her hands back from his shocked look.

"Now stop blaming the person who is handling everything just because you are jealous of him. Got that!" she added as she heard the sound of steps and soon the physician came in.

He was shocked to see her standing well on her feet and walked towards her but she shook her head.

"You are not called here to check on me but on father. He fainted while talking." The physician frowned as he looked at the sofa where Leo was holding his father.

Only then did Ethan notice that while he was busy arguing with Evan, Leo had already gained brownie points by helping his father again.

They both must have planned it. They wanted to insult him to show that he was worth nothing while they were so great! He gritted his teeth as Evan walked away from him and stood beside the so -called great Leo who knew everything.

"That is bad! His heart almost gave up with the attack! He was traumatized and agitated.

From the past few months, he was not in good health and now it has worsened. If it continued, he would not be able to live more than a month.

I advise you to give him peace. If it is not possible here then send him to a summer palace or any other place with tranquility or else.." he shook his head as he opened his bag and took out various herbs and started mixing it when Eli and Leo exchanged glances.

There was no way that their father would live peacefully in a palace! Especially when Eve was missing.

"How did you know that she had left? There might be a chance that she is just roaming in the garden or orchids?

She is not a fool to leave like that." asked Leo with a sigh! He ran a hand in his hair and took out a cigar from the box of his father.

Evan raised her head, this was the first time she had seen him smoking. He must be at his limit too.

His eyes were sunken, his face was pale like a vampire. His actions were full of tension. Eli noticed the cigar too but said nothing.

"She had left a letter. She had told me not to worry about her and she would write a letter and invite all of us to her marriage later.

She even said that though we would not understand her actions, she expected that we would respect it knowing that she was not a kid." Eli rubbed her forehead as she wanted to shout how running away from her house could be taken as the actions of an adult.

She passed the letter to Leo who continued to stare at the letter for some time when Ethan snatched it from him.

"Are you happy that a happy family is destroyed now?" Leo frowned as he did not understand why he was picking up a fight with him when he was trying his best to avoid it.

"Ethan, I understand that you want the rights of a brother and son. And you must be worried about Eve too but that did not mean that others did not care about her.

We have spent our childhood together and we have a lot of good memories with each other and deep affection.

I would never try to take your place but i expect that you would do that too.'' Leo's voice was calm and magnetic, completely opposite to Ethan who was howling and shouting that he felt embarrassed.

He wanted to refuse his kind actions but had no word to refute Leo who was not even looking angry.

"It was a long day. Go and rest. I will stay with father." he patted the shoulders of Ethan who was lost in his thoughts when Ethan's eyes narrowed again.

"No! I will be the one staying with my father. You all can leave." he said in a commanding voice when Leo closed his eyes but nodded.

"Fine, suit yourself. But then, do not sleep. He might wake up anytime. Take all the directions for the physician and make sure to follow them while feeding medicines and try to feed him water too.

And if you feel that you need help, you can knock on my door any moment, I will be awake all the time." Ethan who was about to open his mouth and ask why did he need to do such things when there are so many maids closed it once again.

He was sure that if he said that, Leo would shake his head again in a dramatic manner and then announce that he would take care of father and be great once again in front of everyone.

He had seen how everyone looked up to him but when it comes to him, they all treat him like a kid even when he was three years older to Leo.

He could not give him another chance so he nodded and walked towards the physician after that he would be given more instructions.

Everyone gave a last look to the man when Theo placed him back on his bed and then left slowly.

After giving instructions, the physician also left telling he would come back with more medicines later when Ethan was the only one left in the room with few maids when the door knocked and Hannah stood up with a sweet smile on her face.

"Can I come in, master!"
