Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1835

The cashier immediately got to his knees and frantically apologized to Lacey, “I'm so sorry. I'm truly sorry. It was dumb of me to offend the wife of the Great Marshal. Please forgive me...”

Immediately, ten spies brought over several cars and sent Nancy and Dawn to the hospital.

The crowd remained on their knees long after they left.

They were still traumatized by the incident, unable to snap back to reality.

They could not believe they were in such close contact with the Great Marshal's wife.

Most of all, the crowd did not expect her to live such a normal life. They did not expect her to shop in a mall just like them without emptying the area.

Even when some civilians offended her, she did not make a fuss out of it.

The Great Marshal's wife is such a benevolent person!

Before arriving at the hospital, Lacey, who was getting restless, gave Zeke a call. “Zeke. Oh, Zeke. Something's happened.”

Zeke, who was trying to get some shuteye on the supersonic aircraft, opened his eyes immediately as soon as he heard Lacey's choking voice. “What happened, Lacey? Calm down and tell me everything slowly.”

Lacey recounted everything about the incident at the mall.

Zeke's heart skipped a beat, and he ordered at once, “Sole Wolf, turn the jet around. We need to go back this instant.”

“Got it!”

Sole Wolf had a thousand questions in his mind, but he knew something urgent must have happened, judging from the serious look on Zeke's face.

Without asking for the details, he immediately instructed the pilot to turn the jet around.

Lacey said hurriedly, “You don't have to come back now, Zeke. I'm not sure about Dawnie and Nancy's situation yet. They've always been in good health; there shouldn't be any major issues, so there's no point for you to come back. You must not hold up your business.”

Zeke heaved a long sigh. “The fact they've always been healthy is the reason I need to go back.”

He suspected someone might have done something to harm the two women. And that someone could be the president of United Group, Robert Quinn.

Otherwise, things would not have happened so coincidentally.

Meanwhile, the spies at the North had sent Nancy and Dawn to the best hospital in the city—Combat Hospital.

After a long wait of half an hour, the red light at the operation room finally turned green and the attending doctor walked out.

Lacey rushed forward and asked, “Doctor, how are the patients? Are they okay? Are there any major problems?”

The lead surgeon, Caleb Lewis, shook his head. With a polite smile, he reassured, “Don't worry. The patients have pulled through and they're awake now. There aren't any major issues. Based on our preliminary diagnosis, they fainted because of hypoglycemia.”

Upon hearing that, Lacey heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you so much.”

Missy, too, murmured, “Thank you for saving them.”

Just then, the green light outside the operating theatre turned red and an anxious voice sounded.

“What's going on?” the lead surgeon shouted.

A nurse rushed out of the room and reported, “Dr. Lewis, something bad has happened! The patients... The patients have suddenly passed out again. They're burning up, and they keep talking nonsense!”

How's that possible?

Horrified, the lead surgeon ran into the operating theatre to check on them.

“The patients' vital signs have been stable all this while. This shouldn't be happening,” he said to himself.

Lacey wanted to enter the theatre as well, but she was stopped by the nurse.

She paced back and forth at the entrance, not knowing what to do.

Just then, a towering figure stood at the door, blocking the light and creating a large shadow that surrounded Lacey completely.

She lifted her head instinctively.

Zeke! Zeke is back!

Unable to restrain herself, she walked forward and threw herself into Zeke's embrace. “Zeke, you're back! I... I really don't know what to do.”

At that moment, she felt like a drowning person who had caught hold of a floating plank. She was unwilling to let go of Zeke, no matter what.
