Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1216

The soldiers fighting in the battlefield were the heroes of the nation.

As the Great Marshal’s disciple, Zeke had undoubtedly joined in the war and emerged a hero!

Suddenly recalling something, Lacey walked towards Zeke and lifted his sleeve.

It was just a glance, but she could not help but cover her mouth and weep.

There were numerous scars all over Zeke’s arm. In fact, there was not an inch on his arm left uninjured.

There were wounds from knives, guns and swords...

Some of the scars had just healed. However, as he was carrying Missy, they were torn and bleeding now.

Lacey choked out, “I’m sorry, Zeke. I misunderstood you.”

My husband is not a heartless man at all. He is a hero who has protected the nation.

He did not go to Atlantis to enjoy a life of luxury. Instead, he used his flesh and blood to protect Eurasia’s peace!

With a smile, Zeke said, “As long as you are safe and healthy, I don’t care if I die.”

“Stop saying nonsense!” Lacey clapped a hand over Zeke’s mouth. “In the future, never say that word again.”

“Okay,” agreed Zeke as he chuckled.

Missy wiped Lacey’s tears away and said, “Don’t cry, Mom. Dad said that he doesn’t like children who cry. If we cry, he will leave us again.”

Lacey squeezed a smile out. “You’re right. I won’t cry.”

“Carry me, Mom. Dad must be tired from fighting in the war. Let him rest for a while.”

Like the thoughtful child he was, Missy jumped into Lacey’s arms.

Hannah and Daniel were also weeping.

Oh no! We’ve misunderstood Zeke.

We should’ve known that Zeke is not a man like that. We did not trust him.

Luckily, the misunderstanding is resolved now.

Lacey and her child finally have a family.

Captain Quinn said respectfully, “Mr. Williams, you are our great hero. I salute you on behalf of the army.”

Zeke replied, “The real heroes are the soldiers who remain on the battlefield forever, unable to come back. You must give them a proper burial.”

Captain Quin promised, “Don’t worry. We’ll definitely settle everything well. Mr. Williams, we won’t disturb you any longer. We still have to take care of other matters.”

Zeke said, “Wait a moment. Someone here has acted on his own accord and broke up a military marriage. Please act as you deem fit.”

What?

With a frosty gaze, Captain Quinn scanned the room.

“The nature of a soldier’s job is very unique. Hence, they cannot accompany their wives frequently. For that, the nation are indebted to them. If someone dares to break up a military marriage, he will be punished severely! Who is it? Step forward!”

Clyde’s face turned pale.

He was the culprit who masterminded Zeke and Lacey’s divorce.

Now that Zeke had been awarded the Medal of Peace and was placed in the limelight, he would not spare Clyde so easily.

On the other hand, Ichiro did not seem so terrified.

As the Prince of Japanio, the Eurasians had to be respectful to him. They would definitely not dare to convict him of a crime.

However, it was such a pity that he could not marry Lacey today.

Clyde stepped forward and tried to defend himself, “I did not break up the military marriage. Zeke left without any explanations. Without hearing from him for three years, I thought that he had abandoned his wife. Hence, as the head of the family, I told Lacey to divorce him, and she did so willingly.”

Lacey interrupted quickly, “You’re lying. Never have I once said that I wanted to divorce Zeke. You’re the one who filed for the divorce behind my back. I knew nothing about it.”

Clyde was enraged. “Lacey, I’m your biological sibling. How can you bear to sabotage me?”
