Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2281

Dawn said to Zeke, “I think so. It's either about my condition or matters related to Linton Group. By the way, Linton Group is in a mess now and might even go bankrupt. Zeke, do you think Linton Group can make a comeback?”

Zeke chuckled and responded, “No worries. Linton Group is the testimony of love between Lacey and me. I won't let Linton Group vanish into thin air.”

Feeling relieved, Dawn said, “Zeke, I believe you.”

Just then, Lacey and Nancy opened the door and came in.

Both of them were more at ease once they saw Zeke. Unknowingly, they also felt that the burden on their shoulders had lessened a lot.

Lacey put on a bright smile they hadn't seen for some time. “Zeke, I thought you wouldn't arrive so early.”

Zeke nodded in response. “Yes. Lacey, Nancy, I'm sure you guys are exhausted. Now that I'm here, you can get some rest.”

Lacey was straightforward with her words. “Indeed! I might die of fatigue if you didn't come.”

After a while, Dawn probed, “Lacey, did the doctor say what kind of illness I have?”

Pretending to be calm, Lacey answered, “It's nothing serious.”

However, Dawn didn't buy it. “There is a name to every disease. What kind of illness do I have? Please don't keep it from me.”

Lacey quickly made up something to palter with Dawn. “Well, you're fatigued. People refer to such symptoms as part of the suboptimal health status. Nowadays, a lot of people are sub-healthy, with the only difference being the intensity of the symptoms. The doctor has said you'll recover by getting enough rest and keeping yourself in a good mood.”

However, Dawn was a little doubtful. “Lacey, why do I feel like you're fooling me?”

Lacey calmed herself down and said, “Why do I have to fool you? You can ask Nancy if you don't believe me.”

The next moment, Dawn glanced at Nancy, hoping to get an honest answer.

Nancy immediately nodded and stammered, “Right, right. Suboptimal health... Remember to eat more and smile a lot. You'll recover very soon.”

Apparently, Nancy was rather tactless and not good at lying. Dawn couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Even Lacey and Zeke could instantly tell that something was wrong with Nancy.

Dawn begged Nancy. “Nancy, I know you have never lied. Can you please tell me the truth?”

“I... I...” Nancy was at a loss.

The next moment, Zeke took a deep breath and interrupted, “Nancy, Lacey, tell us the truth. Let's see if the doctor's diagnosis is the same as mine. No worries. Regardless of the type of illness Dawnie has, I can cure it. Even if she has contracted a terminal illness, I promise that I can help her.”

Zeke paused for a while and added, “Don't forget that I'm the Great Marshal who can mobilize all the resources in Eurasia. Hence, I can surely cure Dawnie's illness.”

After glancing at Zeke, Lacey sighed helplessly and said, “All right. I'll tell you the truth. Zeke, I'm afraid that even you can't cure Dawnie's illness this time. “However, don't worry about it. The attending physician happens to have the expertise in curing the illness. Dawnie will be all right.”

Oh?

Zeke felt intrigue by Lacey's revelation.

The Cygnus Room nearly had top elites from every sector. In other words, it represented the highest level of expertise across various sectors.

Is there something the elites from the Cygnus Room can't do, yet a hidden master can do it? Zeke was full of doubts.

“Lacey, tell me about it. Let's see if the doctor is indeed an expert.”

With a stern expression, Lacey explained, “All right. Dawnie's illness is called Horzdo-hidrosis, which is a rare disease. Currently, there are not more than ten cases around the world. So far, only a handful of doctors can cure the disease. Fortunately, it happens that Dawnie's attending physician has the expertise.”

When Lacey was explaining, Zeke couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Horzdo-hidrosis? What kind of a disease is it?

Despite his years of experience in medicine, Zeke had never heard of such a disease.

There are not more than ten cases around the world... It's ridiculous! From a medical point of view, a symptom with not more than ten cases recorded won't be considered a disease at all.
