Chapter 1778 You Have Been Fired
The king personally cut the steak, his movements gentle. Upon hearing the news, he showed no surprise, not even lifting his gaze.
"I know," he said, his voice eerily calm.
Rowan was taken aback. "How did you know?"
"The court physician told me," the king raised his gaze. "He ctoyesterday and complained that you had beaten Taylor
badly. He didn't know the reason, and neither do I."
The father and son locked eyes, but instead of blaming him, the king's eyes held a hint of amusement, a sight that surprised
Rowan.
This left Rowan puzzled. What did it mean?
"Father," his son's magnetic voice was deep as aged wine, "why didn't you ask me? We met seven times today, didn't we?"
The middle-aged man smiled, retracting his gaze to continue cutting the steak, his tone casual. "Because | don't want to know the
reason. Why should | ask?"
Such a response caught Rowan off guard.

The father said, "We are all adults. We should handle our own conflicts. | think it's good. Only a three-year-old would need a father
to mediate."
After the shock, Rowan felt deeply moved.
His father's actions also considered Taylor's feelings, completely easing Rowan's mind.
As the father and son dined, the king deliberately changed the subject. "Have you reviewed the procedures for the inheritance
ceremony day?"
"Duke Byrne has already sent detailed information to my email. | have reviewed it, and | also had a pleasant discussion with him
about the unclear points."
"Good." The son's composure and stability made the king feel relieved and especially reassured.
Prince Taylor had taken medicine three times, recovering beyond Catherine's expectations. In the morning, he struggled even to
get out of bed, crying out in pain. But by evening, he could move freely around his room and even turn over in bed.
Without the obvious pain, his happiness returned.
That morning feeling was too torturous! Unforgettable!
In comparison, his mood improved significantly.
As night fell...
Seeing her son gradually recovering, Catherine's anxiety lessened somewhat. Looking at her son's face, she estimated that he
would gradually improve, but for now, he was not ready to be seen by others.
The next morning.
The court physician had just woken up and was leisurely practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard when a guard cto inform him,
"Court physician, you have been fired. Please pack up your things and leave the royal palace immediately."
"What did you say?!" The court physician was stunned. Did he hear it correctly?
"You have been fired," the guard repeated.
"Whose decision?!"
"The future king's decision."
Louis?!
The court physician's brows knitted. He was suddenly furious. How could he do this? He had been loyal to the royal family his
entire life! On what grounds?!

"The future king also said to leave before noon, or else he will send someone to clear out all your personal belongings." With that,
the guard turned and left.
This news infuriated the court physician!
Did he find out about the complaint?
But still, to fire him? This was too much! He hadn't caused any major medical accidents.
With intense dissatisfaction and a last glimmer of hope, the court physician went to the royal palace.
At this time, the king, whose body had almost fully recovered, had risen early and was feeding the fish by the pond in the
courtyard, accompanied by several guards.
"Your Majesty," the court physician stood by the king's side, his concern evident as he began to complain, "Prince Louis wants to
fire me. Do you know about this?"
"lI don't know," the king's tone was gentle and calm, showing no surprise.
Hearing his leisurely tone, the court physician becanxious. "But now... do you know?"
"Yes, | know."
The court physician said with a grievance, "You have to speak up for me. You cannot let him act so recklessly! | have been with you
for nearly twenty years!"
