Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 525

Gideon squeezed his way into the wardroom. When he saw the patient lying on the bed, he bellowed furiously, “Who’s the person-in-charge of this hospital? Tell me now, what on earth is going on?”

Before Daniel could even speak, Jeremy cried out loud, “Mr. Allen, you have to help us stand up against injustice and crime. The deceased lying on the bed is my father, as well as Daniel’s. And Daniel is the owner of this hospital.”

He paused for a while before pushing on, “A few days ago, my father was angered by Daniel and collapsed due to a cerebral congestion. So, I sent him to Daniel’s hospital for treatment. But never in a million years did I expect that Daniel was addicted to money, to the point of putting our father to death, all for the sake of his inheritance. A hospital led by someone like him must be shut down at all costs! This kind of doctor, no, this man, Daniel Hinton had committed patricide, and he does not deserve to be a doctor!”

What?

Gideon trembled with fake anger and gritted out, “For the sake of money, he killed his own father? He’s worse than an animal!”

Daniel push through the pain and attempted to defend himself. “I’m innocent. Mr. Allen, I’m being framed. Jeremy was the one who did this, and he’s framing me!” He straightened and quickly said, “Mr. Allen, please! Help me call the doctor. My father could still be saved!”

Gideon swiftly walked towards Adam to check his pulse and breathing.

A moment later, Gideon swiveled towards Daniel and roared, “Don’t pretend to be a filial son. He’s not breathing and doesn’t even have a heartbeat. What’s there to be saved?”

Then, he urged the others, “Quick. Get some doctors from the laboratory. Tell them to take a blood sample and find out the cause of death.”

There were already a few doctors from the laboratory standing among the crowd who had joined in to watch the free entertainment. After hearing Gideon’s shout, they pushed their way through the throng of people. “Mr. Allen, we’re from Heartland Hospital’s laboratory.”

“We’ll take the patient’s blood sample to be tested immediately.” Another one of the doctors said.

Gideon nodded and said, “Alright. All of you better be impartial when carrying out the tests. If I find out that the test results were falsified in an attempt to protect your boss, none of you will be shown mercy.”

The doctors were genuinely afraid. “We won’t dare. We will never violate the law.”

“Mr. Allen, you can even monitor us if you have any doubts.”

Gideon nodded in approval. “Good. I’ll monitor the whole process then.”

The doctors got to work immediately, drawing blood from Adam.

Daniel sat weakly on the floor, teetering on the edge of despair.

He couldn’t help but suspect that Gideon was in on it with Jeremy.

Gideon was showing too much biasness towards Jeremy.

In his despair, Zeke flashed across his mind.

Maybe Zeke can help me.

Hope swelled in him and he quickly took out his phone to call Zeke.

To his dismay, Jeremy rushed over and kicked away the phone in his hand.

“Hmph! Are you trying to call someone over to cover your ass?” Jeremy looked down at him with disdain. “Let me tell you, even God can’t save you now. You should pay for your sins!”

All the strength left Daniel’s body, along with the last ray of hope.

With a defeated look, all he could do was shout, “I’m innocent. I’m innocent. I’m innocent.” Again and again, he shouted until his voice became hoarse.

The crowd crusade against Daniel lessened by a whole lot.

The emotions on Daniel’s face didn’t seem to be fake.

Could we have been wrong about him?

Forget it. Let’s wait until the test results come out.

In order to prove that the test results weren’t tampered with, Gideon had specially brought two media reporters to take photos of it as evidence.

Before long, Gideon came back with the test results in his hand.

He angrily threw the test sheets right in front of Daniel. “Daniel Hinton, the test results show that the deceased died from an amoxicillin drug allergy. What else do you have to say now?”

Daniel was taken aback. “Amoxicillin drug allergy? How is that possible? My father was suffering from a cerebral infarction and didn’t need amoxicillin at all!”

He suddenly recalled something, grabbing the infusion sheet from the bedside table and showing it to Gideon. “Mr. Allen, look. There’s no amoxicillin prescription written on the infusion sheet.”

After Gideon took a look at it, his brows knitted into a frown. “That’s true.”

“It wasn’t prescribed, so maybe you administered the amoxicillin into Dad by yourself.” Jeremy added.

With a glint of malice streaking across his eyes, he continued, “By the way, Mr. Allen, I just remembered something. When I came in just now, I noticed that he seemed a little panicked and had shoved something into his pocket.”

Then, he turned to look at Daniel with a trace of smugness in his eyes. “Daniel, why don’t you let us check your pockets?”

“I have nothing to be afraid of! Go ahead!” Daniel spat back.

With that, Daniel turned his pockets out to prove his innocence.

To his utter shock, a syringe fell out from one of them.
