Lord Protector Novel

“Let me go!” Bryan screamed at the top of his lungs. “Who are you? What in the world are you doing?”

Chuckling, Zeke stated sarcastically, “Do you feel pain now? When you wanted to do this to Amelia, why didn't you think about the pain she would have to go through?”

“I-I was only doing the best for the patient. She is weak, and there are signs that she may suffer heart failure. I wanted to inject her with the cardiotonic so she could safely make it through the operation.” Bryan came up with an excuse.

“Haha, even an adult like you cannot withstand that dosage of stimulant. What do you think would happen if you gave it to a little girl?”

Bryan continued to deny. “I wasn't planning to give her all of it. I only wanted to administer a portion to her.”

Rolling his eyes, Zeke scoffed. “I would be a fool to believe you. Besides, even if you administered a small amount to Amelia, she would still die. The anesthesia you already gave her will react with the cardiotonic in her body.”

Bryan groaned. “I already told you that I did not sedate her yet.”

At that moment, Madeline cautiously whispered to Zeke, “Zeke, can you take responsibility for what you said? Is he really trying to kill Amelia? He does not have a feud with her, so why would he do this to her?”

Zeke nodded. “Of course, I can take responsibility for my words.”

Instantly, Bryan recognized Madeline's voice, and he roared, “Madeline, it's you? Hey, I agreed to help you out of goodwill. I did not expect you to trick me! I am the only doctor in this world who can save Amelia. You'd better let me go now. Otherwise, if anything happens to me, Amelia can only dream about recovering.”

Emma and Madeline exchanged looks, unable to make up their minds on which side to take.

They were clueless about the medical field and unsure of who to believe.

Sensing their hesitation, Bryan added, “If this man did not create trouble for me, Amelia would have been able to walk in a few days. However, since he has botched the surgery, both of you will see Amelia being stuck in a wheelchair for life.”

The mother and daughter pair looked to Zeke for answers.

They did not know who to trust, given the gravity of the situation. After all, Amelia's life was on the line.

Grabbing a lab rat from a cage that was used for experiments, Zeke thought of proving his point. “I will inject some of the anesthesia into this rat.”

Following his words, he injected the anesthesia into the rat. Within seconds, the rat was unconscious.

Then, Zeke picked up the syringe with the stimulant and injected the remaining contents into the rat. “This is the remaining amount of stimulant. I will only give the rat ten percent of what he wanted to give Amelia.”

Immediately, the two women stared intently at the rat to witness the consequences.

By then, Bryan's expression dimmed. He knew if Emma and Madeline saw the tragic end of the rat, he would have no hope.

Thus, he began to struggle with all his might.

Despite so, Zeke had tightly secured him to the chair. No matter how hard he tried, he could not loosen the belt around him.

Time passed, and the rat started to move after less than three minutes.
