Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 1074

Zach wailed in despair at the thought of being crippled for life.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already reattached your tendons so you’ll be able to move again. However, you won’t be able to do anything too strenuous in the future, such as manual labor. Then again, I’ll be paying you a huge sum of money so you won’t have to work so hard anyway.”

Phew!

Zach breathed a long sigh of relief.

At last, everything was over. He would finally be able to live without worry.

When Lennon returned home triumphantly and the rest of the family heard about how he had personally crippled Zeke, they cheered and celebrated.

So what if Zeke managed to cure the poison himself? He would still be a cripple!

Now, Zeke was about as much a threat to them as a worm.

Esme questioned, “Lennon, why didn’t you use this opportunity to bring Lacey back? Nobody should be able to stop you now, least of all Zeke Williams.”

“Grandma, in seven days, I want her to watch as I dig out Williams’ heart right before her eyes. It will serve as a warning to her so she’ll be more obedient in the future as our guinea pig,” Lennon explained.

Esme nodded in agreement. “Ah, that’s not a bad idea.”

Meanwhile, Lacey was not expecting a phone call from Lennon Sullivan, of all people. When he told her about what he had done, her mind went blank.

He wants me to WHAT? Since when did he arrive in Atheville? Oh no, Zeke!

Previously, Zeke had broken all four of Lennon’s limbs. There was no way Lennon would not make Zeke suffer for that!

She rushed home as quickly as she could, tears trailing down her face all the way.

However, when she stepped inside the house, she was dumbfounded at what she saw.

Zeke was lying on the bed, seemingly fine with not a hint of injury on him.

In fact, his complexion looked even better than when she left.

She threw herself into his arms and started to bawl.

“Zeke, you scared me to death! I had thought you were... I was so worried!”

“Lacey, what’s wrong? I’m fine, aren’t I? What are you worried about?” Zeke deliberately acted confused.

Lacey told him about how Lennon had called her to come back to save his life.

When she was finished talking, Zeke consoled her. “Relax. Lennon was just scaring you. I didn’t even see him at all. By the way, I want to discuss something with you.”

“Yeah?”

“Lacey, it must have been exhausting for you to take care of both me and the company these past few days. I’m worried your body can’t handle it, which is why I plan on staying with Mom and Dad tonight. That way you can get a good night’s sleep.”

If he were right, his enemies would be meking their moves tonight. Zeke wented to be by Deniel end Henneh’s side so he could protect them if enything wes to heppen.
