Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1896

The suspicion in Desmond's eyes intensified at that moment.

“Will you still insist that the of you are just friends? If you are really just friends, Emma would not be so ready to die for you!”

Zeke did not know how he was going to explain himself to that old man. Luckily, Madeline reappeared with several nurses in tow.

The nurses lifted Emma onto a stretcher and wheeled her into the hospital.

Madeline was about to follow them when Desmond reached out and grabbed her arm.

“Hold on, Madeline, there's something you need to know.”

“What's the matter?” Madeline looked at him suspiciously. “What is it that I need to know?”

Desmond pointed at Zeke and said accusingly, “This is the man that Emma has been sleeping with. If Mr. Fleming finds out, well, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be.”

What?

“Are you Emma's boyfriend?” Madeline turned on Zeke and screamed hysterically. “I won't accept this! I will not accept this! Even if Emma insists, I still will not give in!”

“Young man, I advise you to give her up. You are not worthy of Emma,” Desmond said coldly. “To tell you the truth, Mr. Fleming has taken a fancy to Emma. He owns a company. He is a very wealthy man. You may court her once your net worth is over one hundred million.”

Zeke was dumbfounded.

One hundred million? You must be kidding me! One hundred million is not even enough for my pocket money!

Desmond reached out to grab Amelia from Zeke's arms. “Come on, Amelia. Young man, you'd better make yourself scarce. If Mr. Fleming hears about you, you won't be able to live another in peace.”

Desmond led Amelia and Madeline into the hospital.

Zeke was left all alone in front of the hospital. His thoughts were a mess.

I very kindly saved Emma, healed Amelia's legs, and delivered them to your doorstep, and yet, I am the enemy now? They really have misunderstood my good intentions!

However, Zeke could not just leave.

He was still waiting for Emma's father to implant a dream into her mind so that he could use that dream to track her dad's mental energy and locate him.

So, Zeke strode into the hospital after the Jones.

As soon as he reappeared in Emma's ward, Desmond exploded in a rage.

“Why are you here again? Get out!” he growled angrily. “I told you, you have no chance to get with Emma. She's out of your league.”

Madeline pulled out some cash from her pocket and tossed them at Zeke. “I beg you. Please leave Emma alone. If you insist on staying with her, you won't be the only one suffering the consequences. Emma and Amelia will suffer as well! If you really care about her, you will leave quickly. Take this money and go!”

“I'm on an important military mission. I need Emma's cooperation,” Zeke said coldly. “Please do not interfere. Otherwise, I won't think twice about bringing you to the military court.”

Hmph!

Desmond chuckled.

“It seems you're some hotshot soldier. No wonder he's so arrogant. However, you are nothing next to Mr. Fleming! After all, he has a family member who is a general! Go on! Bring us to the military court! Trust me. If you don't get out right now, I'll send you to jail!”

Emma was awakened by their loud quarreling.

She glanced around in confusion and asked, “Where am I?”

Madeline hurried to her side and said, “Oh, Emma, you're awake! I was worried to death! You're in the hospital now. It's alright, don't worry.”

Emma sat up, struggling a little as she did so. “Mom, I'm fine, really. Let's go home. I don't need to be hospitalized.”

“Emma, just stay here in the hospital. Don't worry about the medical bills,” Desmond quickly said. “Mr. Fleming will pay off all your bills.”

Emma looked stunned for a moment. She glanced at Desmond, “Mr. Fleming? “Thomas Fleming?”
