Lord Protector Novel

Bryan's greed started to well up within him again.

Since he could earn thirty million from Thomas and take fifty million from Sasha, he would have a whopping total of eighty million.

With such a large sum of money, he could escape the country and spend his twilight years in bliss.

Nonetheless, he pretended to ponder about it before replying, “Sure. It's no problem. You can send the patient to Vital Clinic.”

Vital Clinic was a subsidiary under Linton Group, where Bryan usually treated his patients.

His reply made Sasha beamed with joy.

Without hesitation, Emma and Sasha split ways to carry out their tasks.

While Emma brought Amelia to Vital Clinic, Sasha returned to the company to prepare the money to pay for the medical expenses.

However, Amelia was against having Bryan treat her leg, and she repeatedly told the adults that Zeke had already cured her.

Despite so, the words of a little girl had little power to persuade the adults. In the end, she still ended up in the Vital Clinic.

Meanwhile, Zeke went to look for Amelia after dealing with the secret documents Sole Wolf and the rest had passed him.

If it went according to his plan, Amelia would be able to walk by herself that night, and he was sure Emma would be over the moon if she witnessed it.

Unfortunately, after Zeke found Emma, he noticed that Amelia was nowhere to be seen.

He quickly questioned, “Emma, where is Amelia?”

Before Emma could even reply, Madeline cut her off by screaming, “You b*stard, how dare you come back here? Get out of my sight right now! If you try to look for Amelia again, I will call the police and tell them that you are harassing her.”

Zeke frowned, confused by Madeline's hostility toward him.

Yet, his inaction only made Madeline angrier. In the heat of the moment, she grabbed the broom beside her and wanted to chase him out with it.

It was only natural for her to lash out at him since she thought Zeke was responsible for knocking her out last night.

Almost immediately, Emma stopped her mother. “Mom, what are you doing? Why are you raging at him when he is only here for Amelia?”

Her response only agitated Madeline further. “Y-You... You unfilial child! Why are you speaking up for him? Do you know what he did to me last night?”

Confused, Emma asked, “What did Mr. Williams do to you?”

“He knocked me out! I reckoned he would have killed me if Scott weren't present. Are you hoping to see my death too? Otherwise, why are you so close to him?”

Emma looked doubtful.

Zeke was at Thomas' house last night, trying to save me. So how could he have attacked Mom? Besides, he has no motive to do it.

Looking at Zeke, Emma questioned, “Mr. Williams, is my mother telling the truth? Did you knock her out last night?”

Zeke shook his head. “I didn't even see her last night, so how could I be responsible for hitting her?”

Despite his denial, Madeline refused to believe him. Hah! Look at the nonsense he's spouting!
