Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1905

“I went through hell for Emma, so what's wrong with getting a little compensation?” shouted Thomas rudely. “What are you implying, Desmond? Are you also against Emma and me-”

“No, that's not it!” Desmond quickly shook his head. “That's not what I meant, Mr. Fleming. I think you've made a fair point. It's only that Emma is very shrewd, so it won't be easy to trick her into your bed. We must find a way to lure her to your house.”

“I'll leave this matter to you then. Come up with a plan, and if you succeed, you'll definitely be rewarded,” Thomas replied.

As soon as Desmond heard a reward being mentioned, an idea popped into his mind.

He slapped his own head and said, “Mr. Fleming, I suddenly thought of a good plan.”

“Spit it out.”

“Didn't you mention earlier that you're able to invite the famous doctor from the medical company under Linton Group to treat Amelia's legs? I presume you must've gotten his contact details, am I right? Why don't you invite him to your house tonight, and I'll bring Emma over to discuss Amelia's condition,” Desmond proposed.

Thomas immediately nodded upon hearing that. “All right, let's follow your plan. I'll contact the doctor in a while.”

However, the truth was that he had yet to contact the doctor, as not only was the doctor reluctant to treat patients without invitations, but he was also unconcerned over Amelia's condition.

He had merely said those words to deceive Emma.

Desmond got out of the car mid-journey and contacted Emma's mother, Madeline.

“I bring great news, Madeline,” he said.

“What kind of news?” asked Madeline with a look of anticipation. “Have you found a doctor who could treat Amelia's leg?”

“That's right! Mr. Fleming told me just now that he has invited a famous doctor to his house tonight. Let's bring Emma there as well to discuss the treatment plan.”

“Really?” Madeline shed tears of joy. “Thank God! Amelia can finally get treatment for her leg! Should we prepare a gift for him since it's our first meeting, Desmond?”

Desmond's first instinct was to reject her proposal, as he was well aware that Thomas' true objective was to trick Emma into visiting his house. He was not even sure if they would meet the famous doctor.

However, he changed his mind after some thought. “Of course. After all, we're meeting a famous doctor. Otherwise, Amelia might suffer if he tampered with the treatment process.”

Upon hearing that, Madeline hurriedly said, “I don't know much about buying gifts, Desmond. Why don't I transfer you a thousand, and you can help me buy the gift.”

Desmond scoffed. “Aren't you looking down on both the famous doctor and me, Madeline? Do you think that he'll acknowledge a gift worth a thousand? He might even think of it as an insult.”

“Well... What would be considered a suitable price range for the gift, Desmond?”

“How much money do you have now?” he inquired.

“I only have a little more than a ten thousand on hand,” she said.

“Transfer ten thousand to me then. I'll add a little more to it. We should buy a gift that costs at least twenty thousand.”

Madeline felt her heart sink upon hearing that. “If we spend everything on buying the gift, how are we going to afford the medical fees?”

Desmond replied, “If we upset him now and he refuses to treat her, there wouldn't be any medical fees to afford. Besides, what you have now is also not enough for the fees. Don't worry. Since Mr. Fleming had offered to cover all the expenses for Emma and Amelia's treatment, he'll definitely see it through.”
