Chapter 275 Cut Off From Hope

Roxanne and Anya were both deeply shaken.

Zeke’s condition had always been difficult for one key reason-not because it was incurable, but because the right treatment was nearly impossible to obtain.

High-tier medicine, like the life-saving drug, was completely out of their reach, while ordinary medicine did nothing. It left them stuck in an unbearable middle ground.

And now, there was an energy drug that could actually cure Zeke.

“This is a good thing, isn’t it?” Roxanne said with a smile. “Hazel, why do you still look so upset?”

“Exactly,” Anya chimed in. “Just ask your parents where they got the energy drug.”

In their eyes, even though Stefan and Cynthia had already taken the pills, it at least proved one thing-the energy drug existed. And more importantly, it was something people in their social circle had a chance of obtaining.

That alone was enough.

As long as they could trace the source, they could follow the trail.

But beside them, a flicker of displeasure flashed through Zeke’s eyes.

This was the medicine that could cure him–and it had been so close, practically within reach. Why hadn’t Hazel found out about it sooner? It had been snatched away by those two old fools first.

Rage burned inside him.

He resented Stefan and Cynthia for not leaving him even a single pill. But he blamed Hazel even more for not noticing sooner.

If she had paid just a little more attention… wouldn’t that medicine be his now?

Instead, it had all been wasted on those two. A complete waste.

But this time, he didn’t lash out. After losing control once before, he was far more cautious about managing his temper. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t let himself explode again.

Taking a steady breath, he asked where the energy drug had come from. Everyone turned to look at Hazel, but she hesitated, stammering, unable to say it.

“What’s wrong?” The expressions around her began to change.

“My parents… they won’t tell me where it came from. They even kicked me out…” Hazel admitted, her voice awkward and strained.

“What?”

The room fell into stunned silence.

No one had expected that. She was their daughter-how could they refuse to tell her?

Zeke, in particular, felt his anger surge violently. His face twitched uncontrollably. ‘Those two old fools… not only did they take my energy drug, but they won’t even tell us where they got it? Are they trying to cut off every path I have left to survive?’

Things were no longer the same.

Evan and Hazel were divorced. They were no longer husband and wife-there was no way Evan would continue giving blood transfusions. The Leighton family’s medicine could only suppress his condition at best.

Which meant that he had no way to control his illness anymore. Once it flared up, it would almost certainly be a death sentence.

No one was more desperate than him.

‘If they dare block my way out, I’ll make sure they regret it. Even if I have to force it out of them… so be it!’

At that moment, Zeke’s expression twisted with something dark and feral. The thought of killing had already begun to take root. He didn’t care that Stefan and Cynthia were Hazel’s parents.

Anyone who cut off his path to survival… he would cut off theirs.
