Chapter 556
Meanwhile, the sound of conversations grew louder in the hall. As the day
progressed, many medical professionals invited by the Lenoir family began
to feel antsy. They wanted to leave but lacked the courage to do so because
Adolph had not spoken a word. They had been waiting since the morning,
and Emmanuel and Rhea had not exited Claudette’s room.
“He must’ve killed Ms. Lenoir, right? Why else would he be too afraid to come
out?”
“That has to be it. We should send someone in to take a look!”
“You’re absolutely right. We can’t let that brat escape!”
They sounded completely confident that their hypotheses were correct. After
all, they assumed that Claudette was beyond saving.
On the other hand, some of the sleazy men suspected that Emmanuel was
using this opportunity to take advantage of both Claudette and Rhea. Since
he’s a goner anyway, he might as well go out feeling good!
The commotion became increasingly loud, and Laura became restless, so
she turned to Adolph, whose eyes were closed, and suggested, “Why don’t
we go in and take a look, General?”
When he heard this, his eyes popped open, and he leaped to his feet. “Come
with me, Colonel Yancy, and bring some men along!”
“Yes, General!”
The colonel in question, Gordon Yancy, immediately assembled a group of
twelve armed men who marched behind Adolph.
In the meantime, Elizabeth was so anxious upon seeing her father march
toward the room that her fists squeezed together. What should I do? I can’t
let Dad kill Manuel!
Nonetheless, the crowds were eager to see the whole thing go down in
flames. They couldn’t save Claudette, and in their twisted hearts, they hoped
no one else could either. They would even be pleased to see someone lose
their life for this cause. That way, they would appear competent and wise
rather than incompetent and foolish.
Soon, a large crowd marched toward Claudette’s room.
“Get out here, Emmanuel Lowe!”
When Rhea heard the commotion and shouting outside the door, she left the
room immediately. “What are you doing?! The patient needs a peaceful
environment to rest, don’t you know?” she scolded Gordon coldly, who was in
the lead.
–“Hah! Rest, huh? I’ll bet she’s resting, and probably for good! Get out of the
way!” After saying this, he shoved her aside without a care.
“Hey-” She lost her balance and fell, and when Juan noticed this, he rushed
over to help his daughter up. “Hey! You can’t go in yet!” she continued to
shout loudly.
“Stop it, Rhea! General Lenoir is already furious!” Juan quickly stopped his
daughter since he didn’t want her to be the subject of Adolph’s anger.
“This way, General!” After clearing the path, Gordon stepped aside for Adolph.
Adolph snorted and was about to head in when Elizabeth quickly stood in his
way and begged through her tears, “Dad, even if Manuel failed to save
Claudette, please don’t kill him! I’m begging you, please!”
