Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 523

Adam was on the verge of blowing his top!

Scumbag! Animal! Worse than a dog!

He could hardly believe that his own granddaughter dared to speak of such heinous atrocities in front of him.

Oh God. What crimes did I commit in my past life to be cursed with these two inhumane people!

Lily’s words ignited the flames of determination in Jeremy.

In the end, he steeled his resolve and took out the syringe. “Dad, I’ll give you the shot. Don’t worry, all your pain and sickness will be gone for good.”

A dead person obviously wouldn’t feel pain or fall sick.

Adam worked every muscle in his body and struggled to move, but it was to no avail.

He could only watch as Jeremy inserted the needle into the vein on his shoulder and inject the liquid into his body bit by bit.

Hot tears rolled down his cheeks.

Failure. My whole life has been nothing but a failure!

As his life flashed before his eyes, scenes from the past replayed in his mind.

There was only one apple left at home. He ignored a crying Daniel, and gave it all to Jeremy...

Two of his sons needed money to pay for their school fees. He could only scrape together enough money for one person. So, he left Daniel at home to do hard labor, while he sent Jeremy to school...

When Jeremy got married, he had given him a dowry of one hundred and eighty thousand. However, he didn’t give a single cent of dowry when his second son got married. Daniel had worked hard on his own to earn enough money for his marriage...

After his sons had their own daughters, he only ever helped Jeremy to take care of his daughter, while neglecting Daniel and his family. He had stood by and watched as his daughter-in-law worked a day job while taking care of her baby daughter, to the point of dozing off while walking...

His consciousness was gradually slipping away now, and he could no longer gather a proper string of thoughts.

Just before he lost consciousness, only one thought ran through in his mind: God, what have I done with my life?

Beep!

A blaring alarm sounded from the medical equipment, and Jeremy hastily turned it off.

Lily warned in a strained voice, “Dad, pull yourself together. Uncle is coming back!”

Jeremy drew in a deep breath and kept his emotions in check.

Just then, he realized that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

When Daniel came back, he handed Jeremy and Lily some breakfast. “You both should eat too.”

“Okay.” Jeremy took the breakfast from him and left the ward with Lily.

As soon as Daniel sat by his father’s bed, he noticed that something was wrong. His father’s arms and face were flushed.

This... This seems to be an allergic reaction!

His father had just escaped a life-threatening situation. If he had an allergic reaction now, it could cost him his life!

He quickly glanced at the medical equipment, and his mind was blown.

The equipment was switched off!

He hastily checked Adam’s breathing and pulse, then slumped to the floor.

There was no pulse, or any sign of breathing.

Adam Hinton was dead!

Doctor. Doctor. I need to call the doctor...

Daniel used every ounce of strength he had left to push to his feet and run out to call the doctor.

However, the moment he swung open the door, he was met with Jeremy’s face.

He briefly looked into the room before yelling angrily, “Daniel! You... You beast! You killed our father! Someone! Someone, help! He killed his own father! Is anyone there?”

Swoosh!

A group of people barged into the hospital, all carrying heavy filming equipment. They rushed towards the door to Adam’s wardroom and came face to face with Daniel. The sound of camera shutters clicking filled the space as those people rapidly snapped photos, with some of them even preventing Daniel from going out.

A shiver ran down his spine.

He realized then that this was a trap set by Jeremy.

And that he had used their father to set it up!
