Ahh!
The Ammo Needle inflicted as much pain as the cardiotonic did, and Bryan could not take double the pain.
As such, he finally gave in. “It was Thomas! He made me do it. He promised me three million if I could get rid of Amelia.”
What?
Emma and Madeline were livid.
“That b*stard! How could he bear to take away a child's life like that? “I-I misjudged him, and I can't believe I wanted Emma to marry him. I must've been blind!” Madeline hollered hysterically.
Breaking Bryan's arms with his foot, Zeke growled, “You have no right to remain as a doctor. You are a disgrace to the medical profession!”
As Bryan's screams filled the air, Zeke left the building with Emma and Madeline.
When they were out, Zeke glanced at the roof of the opposite building.
Boxing King was standing there with a complicated expression on his face.
As their eyes met, Boxing King quickly averted his gaze and backed away until he disappeared from Zeke's sight.
Immediately, Zeke secretly sent Sole Wolf a message to keep an eye on Boxing King.
There is something about Boxing King. I'm sure there is a connection between the North and him.
Meanwhile, Emma gave Sasha a call.
“Sha, you don't need to sell the company to prepare the medical fees anymore.”
Puzzled, Sasha asked, “Why?”
She panicked. “But I've already found a seller. We can pay for the medical bills soon. Why don't we have to pay it anymore? Did the Divine Doctor go back on his words? I could plead with him till he agrees to help if that's the case.”
Emma could only sigh. “No Sha, it's a long story. It turns out that the Divine Doctor is working with Thomas to murder Amelia.”
Then, Emma told Sasha the whole story.
Oh my gosh!
When Sasha heard about what had happened, she felt a shiver run down her spine.
After getting over the initial shock, she cursed vehemently at Thomas and Bryan.
“Emma, wait for me at home. I'll be right over. Don't panic or be scared. I will find a better doctor for Amelia.”
After some contemplation, Emma said, “Sha, I don't think you should come over.”
Sasha froze. “Why?”
“Since we have unveiled Thomas and Bryan's plans, they will most likely send men after us to get revenge. It will not be safe here. I've decided that once we return, we will move to a place where no one can find us,” Emma explained.
A moment of silence followed before an idea struck Sasha. “Emma, don't act rashly. I can find someone to protect you.”
Emma seemed unconvinced. “Thomas and Bryan are wealthy and powerful people. Who can you hire to protect us against them?”
Sasha replied, “Well, the person I'm looking for is my Prince Charming. He's a mighty warrior who is unbeatable. I'm sure he can fight off anyone who comes for you.”
Emma smiled bitterly. Would her Prince Charming be as formidable as Zeke? After all, he can even beat Boxing King. With Zeke with us, no one can touch us.
Little did Emma know that the person Sasha was referring to was none other than Zeke.
Before Emma could reject her, Sasha ended the call.
Moments later, Zeke's phone started to ring.
Looking at his phone screen, Zeke noticed it was an unidentified caller.
“Who is this?” Zeke asked after answering the call.
Sasha's voice sounded on the other end. “Hello, Mr. Williams. It's me, Sasha. I was the only person that bet on you when you fought with Boxing King. Do you still remember me?”
“Yes. So, why are you calling me?”
Sasha asked, “Well, I have a favor to ask of you. Do you provide protection services?”
