Lord Protector Novel

Weak kidney?! Impotent?!

How did you f**king judge that I’m impotent?

The silly Dawn finally came to the realization. “Oh! No wonder my sister is reluctant to share the same bed with you. Because you’re impotent!”

“Brother-in-law, do not despair. I have faith in you.”

Zeke scowled at Dawn and flicked her on the forehead. “Shut up, stop thinking nonsense.”

“Ouch!” Dawn cried in pain and rubbed her forehead.

“It hurts! Brother-in-law, I see your fingers are pretty agile and powerful.” Dawn made a dirty joke. “Your fingering skill can definitely make up for your impotency, ya know.”

“Dawn, shut up. How could you pick up these skittish behaviors from Nancy!?” Lacey reprimanded; now even Lacey had enough of it.

Nancy raised an objection, “Hey hey hey, Lacey! What do you mean? You’re saying I’m skittish?”

Hannah and Daniel were delighted to see them getting along with each other.

“Zeke, we’re sorry for misunderstanding you,” Hannah made a sincere apology.

“Next time, if there is any misunderstanding, it’s better we deal with it face-to-face. You shouldn’t fly the coop for days.”

“You don’t know how worried we were about you during the three days when you were missing.”

“Mom, don’t worry. I promise I won’t do it again,” Zeke gave Hannah his words.

Then, he explained, “Lacey said she would only believe me if snow fell in June. I have no choice but to go to Northern Xinjiang and collect snow.”

“Wait!” Lacey cut in, “You said... You went to Northern Xinjiang to collect snow?”

Zeke nodded. “Yes, what’s wrong?”

Lacey grabbed hold of Zeke’s hand. She looked at those calluses and gashes on his fingers and said, “So, you got these frostbites when you’re digging for snow?”

Zeke let out a sigh. “Well, yeah. We were running out of time and lacking workers. So I needed to get my hands dirty.”

“You... You’re out of your mind.” Lacey hit Zeke’s chest and fell into his arms, weeping hysterically, “You’re putting your life at risk!”

“Northern Xinjiang is a war zone and if anything happens to you... What should I do?”

Zeke tried to introduce a note of levity, “Don’t worry. Your husband is a hero. Bullets can’t take me down.”

“Stop fooling around!” Lacey thumped on Zeke’s chest.

“Lacey, hold your ground! Look at you, all touched by his small gesture...” Nancy said, rolling her eyes and dragging Lacey back into the hall, “Let’s go. I want to have the lunch buffet instead of having you guys rubbing your lovely acts in my face.”

As they reached the entrance, Lacey turned around to face Zeke. “Zeke, you’re not going anywhere. Come with us.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be there soon,” Zeke said with a smile on his face.

After Lacey was out of sight, Zeke looked at Daniel and Hannah and asked pleadingly, “Dad, mom, please tell me what else is there to be done? I couldn’t seem to figure it out.”
