Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2280

Lacey looked at the attending physician with pleading eyes. “Doctor, can you please show us mercy? Our company is in bad shape now. I'm afraid I can't fork out fifty million—”

Unperturbed, the attending physician argued coldly, “Everyone has their price, including me. I can cure her only if you can pay. Think about it, and let me know your answer as soon as possible. For your information, I might be departing to America tomorrow because an important patient would like to make an appointment with me.”

With that, the attending physician wanted to leave his office.

Lacey gritted her teeth and quickly stopped the attending physician from leaving. “Doctor, I'll get fifty million as soon as possible. Please save Dawnie.”

The attending physician nodded in satisfaction. “All right. You'd better make the full payment by tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise, I can't guarantee you that I'll stay in the country.”

After the physician left, Lacey gazed at Nancy and asked, “Nancy, how much money do you have now?”

Nancy heaved a sigh and responded, “Lacey, I think I can get five million by selling my house and car. As for my savings all these years, I have invested them into Linton Group as its operating funds.”

Scratching her head, Lacey said, “I can only fork out ten million now. In other words, we still lack thirty-five million. If worst comes to worst, we might have to sell our headquarters.”

Nancy got nervous upon hearing it. “Lacey, if we sell the headquarters now, it will be equivalent to shutting down the company entirely. We can't do it.”

Unperturbed, Lacey argued, “So what if we sell the company? All I want is to save Dawnie. All right, Nancy. You don't have to persuade me because I've made up my mind. We can earn the money back but not her life.”

Nancy lowered her head, not daring to say a word.

She's right. Nothing matters more than Dawnie's life.

While Nancy was deep in thought, Lacey said, “Nancy, didn't someone contact you and propose to acquire Linton Group's headquarters? Do you have his contact number?”

Nancy nodded. “Yes, I have his business card.”

Then, Nancy gave Lacey a business card with a few words. CEO of Eminent Group, Daisy.

Lacey carefully kept the business card and asked Nancy, “Make an appointment with her tonight to discuss the acquisition.”

Nancy murmured an affirmative response.

Meanwhile, Zeke had arrived at Dawn's ward in a rush.

Initially, Dawn was half-asleep. However, she was instantly full of energy upon seeing Zeke. She stood up and shouted, “Zeke, you're here!”

Zeke's heart wrenched when he saw Dawn's pale face.

Zeke came closer and consoled her, “Dawnie, don't move. You should lie on the bed and rest well.”

Dawn forced a smile. “Zeke, I'm all right. You worry too much. I feel sorry that I disturb your work.”

Zeke immediately replied, “I'm the one who should apologize.”

Cesar, the sorcerer, wouldn't have targeted Dawn if it wasn't for me.

Later, Zeke held Dawn's wrist to take her pulse.

Dawn blinked her eyes adorably as she stared at Zeke.

After Zeke finished taking her pulse, Dawn probed impatiently, “Zeke, am I all right? You can cure my illness, can't you?”

Zeke caressed Dawn's hair and replied, “Don't worry about it. Your illness is like an ordinary fever and can be cured easily.”

Once Zeke assured her, Dawn heaved a sigh of relief. “That's good. Since Lacey and Nancy were secretive about my illness, I thought I had contracted a terminal illness and was scared!”

Zeke flashed Dawn a smile and asked, “By the way, where are Lacey and Nancy?”

Dawn replied, “The attending physician asked them to head to his office to discuss my conditions.”

“I see. Lacey said there's something important that I should know. In that case, I guess it's about your illness,” Zeke said.
