Chapter 1540

Desperate Measures

That said, seeing Xavier there confirmed their speculation that the main executor was

still the Tanner family of Onza.

It seemed that the Tanner family of Onza wouldn’t stop avenging Aidan until they

destroyed the Quillens. At that, they also realized either the Quillens or the Tanner

would survive in Nuthana.

Entering the ward again, they saw the patients having a meal together while some who

couldn’t eat were receiving intravenous drips.

Emmanuel was a doctor and the person in charge of the case, so he was quite

sensitive. Seeing this scene, he immediately ordered Shane and Frederick, “Stop them,

don’t let them eat this meal!”

Bang!

Desperate Measures

The next moment, Emmanuel slapped all the food out of their hands and off the

bedside tables. Not only that, but he quickly cut off the IV drips.

“W-What are you doing?”

“Get out! You’re not welcome here!”

The surrounding patients began to roar at him, and some even lunged at him. Shane

and Frederick quickly pushed them back.

Emmanuel quickly picked up the food, sniffed it, and then exclaimed loudly, “Do you

know that if you eat these things, you’ll die the next moment?!”

Despite his loud shouts, the patients remained indifferent, and it terrified them.

Emmanuel didn’t care why they wanted to die. He quickly used pressure point

techniques to make those who had eaten the food vomit it out.

Desperate Measures

“Let

of me! If you do this again, I’ll bite my tongue and die in front of you!” A

it

middle-aged man with balding hair struggled desperately, refusing Emmanuel’s help.

“Emmanuel, hold on.”

Mackenzie, who had been in the rear all along, ignored Beatrix and Lexi’s attempts to

stop her and stepped into the ward. Her aura and beauty caused all the patients

présent to marvel, their eyes involuntarily focusing on her. They never dreamed that as

lowly people at the bottom of society, they would still be able to see a goddess descend

to Earth before they died.

“Mackenzie, the air in this ward isn’t good, and you’re pregnant. You can’t come in-

Beatrix, Lexi!” Emmanuel stopped his actions and hurried over. But before he could

finish his words, Mackenzie blocked his mouth with her fingers. Then, ignoring his

resistance, she approached the struggling middle-aged man and asked with a smile,

“Even ants struggle to live. Can you tell me why you don’t want to live?”

“How much was your monthly income before? How much money could you spend

every day? Is the mortgage and car loan heavy?” Mackenzie knew she was on the right

track. She needed to understand the situation clearly to trigger these people’s will to

live. Otherwise, if they died, Terence Group would fall with them. Saving these people

saved Terence Group and her family.

“Alas, how can we afford a mortgage and car loan? We can’t even afford to eat a full

meal or send our children to school normally. My mother died at home last month

because we couldn’t afford medical treatment…” The middle-aged man spoke, tears

streaming down his face, devastated.
