Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1202

Missy immediately nodded, “Missy misses mummy too.”

The two of them got into the car to look for Lacey.

On the way, Missy whispered, “Uncle, are you a soldier too?”

Zeke replied, “Yes, I am.”

“Uncle, my Daddy is a soldier too. But he hasn’t seen me for a long time. Uncle, can I call you Daddy?”

Zeke felt an inexplicable sadness rise in his heart.

Seems like Missy’s father could not be with Lacey and Missy often as well.

He immediately agreed to her request. ‘All right.”

“Daddy.”

Sigh.

Zeke began to tear up.

If only she were Lacey and my daughter!

However, when I left three years ago, Lacey was not pregnant.

There is no way that she is my child!

Under Missy’s directions, Zeke arrived at the Salvation Hall.

The Salvation Hall was a well-known clinic at Atheville.

Zeke frowned. What is Lacey doing at the Salvation Hall?

Is she getting medical treatment?

The Linton Group covers the medical industry as well, and they should be able to settle most matters.

Lacey didn’t get some complicated disease, did she?

With Missy’s hand in his, Zeke walked into the Salvation Hall uneasily.

He noticed Lacey immediately.

Despite the fact that she as still wearing her old clothes, she was still as bright and beautiful as always.

There was nothing that could cover up her disposition.

At that moment, she was talking to a men dressed in a suit.

He noticed that she seemed to be pleading with that man.

Instead of interrupting them, Zeke found a place and sat down.

He wanted to listen in on their conversation.

Lacey said, “Mr. Wood, I beg you, you must save my daughter. If you don’t help us, there will be no one who can heal my daughter here at Atheville.”

Mr. Wood looked conflicted. “Sigh, it is not that difficult for me to help you. However, the tricky thing is that we need this particular expensive drug in order to heal your daughter. Even I may not be able to obtain this drug.”

Lacey immediately said, “Mr. Wood, please tell me the name of this drug. I will do anything in order to get it.”

Mr. Wood sighed. “It’s not just about the money. It is one of the ten rarest herbs in Eurasia, Rhodiola rosea. Have you heard of it, Ms. Hinton?”

Ssss!

Lacey immediately felt as if someone had just flung a bucket of ice cold water on her.

Rhodiola rosea.

It is a herb that is under strict control by the military, and it is banned from private sales.

It’s not even available in the black market!

It would be an impossible task to get her hands on it!

Suddenly, Mr. Wood’s tone changed. “Ms. Hinton, all hope is not lost. I am suddenly reminded that my mentor has one stalk of Rhodiola rosea among his prized collection. If I beg him, he might just sell it to me.”

Hope was suddenly reignited in Lacey.

“Mr. Wood, please... You have to help obtain the Rhodiola rosea. Just name the price, and I’ll get the money to you no matter what.”

Mr. Wood said, “Didn’t I make myself clear? It is not just about the money when it comes to this herb. Agree to one more request, and I’ll get the herb for you. How about that?”

Lacey immediately asked him, “Just name it, Mr. Wood. If it is within my capability, I will definitely satisfy you.”

His smile suddenly became a little ambiguous and he slowly picked up Lacey’s hand.

“Of course you are more than able to handle this request. All you have to do is to lie down on the bed and leave the rest to me.”

Ahhh!
