Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1895

It was Emma's mother and uncle, Madeline and Desmond.

Zeke got out of his car and walked over to the two of them. “Are you two Emma's family?”

The two of them looked at Zeke in surprise. “Who are you?”

“I am a friend of Emma's,” Zeke replied. “Emma is ill, and there is no one to watch over her. So, I've brought her home.”

Their eyes flashed at the mention of Emma's name.

“Where is Emma? Bring me to her.”

Zeke gestured at his car. “She's in there.”

The two of them hurried over.

Madeline caught sight of Amelia as soon as she pulled open the car door.

She pulled Amelia into her arms. “Amelia, you're finally home! I've missed you so much.”

Amelia wrapped her little arms around Madeline. “Grandma, I missed you too.”

Madeline scanned Amelia from top to bottom for any injuries. Then, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Oh, Amelia, I'm so happy that you're not hurt! Oh, but what happened to your Mommy? Let me see her.”

Amelia nodded.

Madeline gazed at Madeline, who was still unconscious, and realized that most of the latter's injuries were superficial.

The wound on her head was the most serious.

Madeline's face darkened. She turned to Zeke. “Young man, tell me, how did my daughter get injured?”

Zeke did not want Emma's family to worry. So, he decided to hide the truth. “It was an accident. She fell.”

However, Desmond and Madeline looked skeptical at his answer.

“Hmph! If I'm guessing correctly, I'd say this silly girl must've provoked someone and got herself beaten up as a result!” Desmond said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “This woman is always living such a wild life! She opens up a bar and hangs out with punks all the time. It was only a matter of time before this happened!”

Madeline's expression turned sour as Desmond ridiculed her daughter.

She quickly changed the subject. “Young man, please send us to the hospital quickly.”

“Don't worry. Emma is fine. She only needs to rest,” Zeke said reassuringly.

However, Madeline could not help worrying and insisted that they go to the hospital.

Zeke had no choice but to concede.

“Desmond, you can stay back and watch over the movers. I'll go with Emma to the hospital,” Madeline said to Desmond.

“It's fine. I'll go to the hospital with you, too,” Desmond said, getting into the car.

“There's no need for that, Desmond. I can manage Emma by myself,” Madeline countered quickly. “It's better if you stay here and supervise the movers.”

“Don't worry about the workers! They were sent by Mr. Fleming. You can trust them. Nothing will go wrong!” Desmond insisted. “Besides, you may not have enough cash on you to pay for Emma's hospital bills. I still have some money on me.”

Madeline had no choice but to give in to Desmond's insistence on going to the hospital with them.

Zeke was puzzled by the exchange.

According to the report that he had received from Sole Wolf, Desmond was far from nice to Emma and her mother.

So, why is he so concerned about Emma now?

Zeke got into his car and drove. Soon, they arrived at a nearby hospital.

Madeline quickly got out and hurried into the hospital to get some nurses to help them with a stretcher.

Desmond was about to carry Amelia out of the car.

However, when Amelia saw that Desmond was about to pick her up, her entire torso tensed up.

She stretched out her little arms to Zeke and said, “Zee, pick me up. I want you to carry me.”

Zeke saw that Amelia was very afraid of Desmond. He immediately scooped her up into his arms.

“She wants you to carry her?” Desmond narrowed his eyes at Zeke. “Are you and Emma really just friends? How come Amelia is so close with you?”

“Yes, we really are just friends,” Zeke replied indifferently.

At that moment, Emma fell into a dream.

“Sixtus, I beg you... Have mercy on Zeke and Amelia... You can take me instead... Zeke, take Amelia and go... Don't worry about me... Go!”
