Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1836

Feeling heartbroken, Zeke held Lacey in his arms and patted her back. “Don't worry, Lacey. I'm back. Everything will be fine. Tell me quickly. What on earth happened?”

Lacey said, “Nancy and Dawnie suddenly fainted at the mall a while ago, so I had them sent to the hospital immediately. And just a few minutes ago, the doctor was telling us he had saved both of them. But now, they passed out again. The doctor said they were fine. I... I don't know what caused them to faint again.”

Zeke pondered about it and assured her, “Don't worry, Lacey. The doctor I've hired is the world's most well-known specialist. If he says there's nothing major, then they must be fine.”

At that very moment, the green light outside the operation theatre returned.

That meant that the patients had pulled through once again.

As the attending doctor exited the theatre, he got to his knees as soon as he saw Zeke. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Great Marshal! I'm the combat medic of the North, Harry Collins.”

Zeke nodded. “Get up. Tell me about the patients, Dr. Collins.”

Harry reported, “We've done a thorough medical checkup on the patients and we couldn't find anything wrong with them. In fact, they're extremely healthy. However...”

Upon hearing the final word, Zeke knew there must be something strange about the two women's condition.

Not wanting to make Lacey worry, he quickly flashed Harry a look.

The attending doctor knew what he meant, and he rectified, “However, the patients will be very weak once they wake up. They'll need lots of rest.”

That's good.

Lacey felt a sense of relief wash over her.

Right then, a commotion broke out from the operating theatre.

“What are you people doing? Where are we?”

“Don't touch me! Let us go!”

Lacey charged into the operating theatre at once.

Zeke, too, rushed in as well with Missy in his arms.

When they arrived at the operating theatre, Dawn and Nancy, who were already awake, were avoiding the doctors and nurses with fear written all over their faces.

The nurses tried their best to calm them down. But the more they did so, the more agitated the women were.

Lacey rushed into the theatre and shouted, “Nancy, Dawnie, don't be scared. You're at the hospital. I was the one who had you two sent here.”

Both Dawn and Nancy finally calmed down when they noticed Lacey.

“Lacey, we're fine. Why did you bring us to the hospital?”

Zeke replied, “We'll talk about this later.” He then turned to the medical staff. “Thank you, everyone. May I have all of you leave the room for a while?”

The doctors and nurses nodded and left.

Missy rushed into Dawn's embrace. “Ms. Castaneda, you're finally awake. I was so scared earlier.”

Dawn held the little girl in her arms, feeling sorry for the latter. “My poor little Missy, I'm sorry for scaring you. Don't worry, I'm here. By the way, Lacey, Missy said that I fainted a while ago. When did that happen?”

Nancy nodded as well. “I remember we were still shopping at the mall. Why are we here now? I don't even remember anything about me fainting.”

Zeke inquired, “How are you two feeling now? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?”

The two women shook their heads.

“I feel totally fine. Zeke, now that you're back, you should accompany us. I'm not done shopping yet,” Nancy replied.

Lacey was dumbfounded by the response.

You've just fainted a while ago. How are you still thinking about shopping? Are you a shopaholic?

Zeke examined the two women, only to find them in good health. In fact, there was nothing strange about them.

This is weird.

He said to them, “You two should get some rest here. I'll go talk to your doctor to find out more about your condition.”

“Okay,” the women responded.

When Zeke found Harry, the combat medic, he asked, “You didn't finish telling me about their condition. Did you find something odd?”

Harry nodded. “Great Marshal, I suspect the two women are not sick... They could be poisoned. Maybe... it's witchcraft, a poisonous worm, or something similar.”
