Chapter 1069

Yes!

The members of the Williams family nodded in agreement.

Faith and Diego helped Zeke to his bed. Afterwards, they went out of the room and called the doctors, pleading with them to treat their injured son.

Left alone in his bed, Zeke Williams dug around his pockets for a small stalk of Rhodiola Rosea and swallowed it. Then, using the Ammo Needle, he started the process of forcing the poison out of his system.

After ten minutes, he finally threw up a mouthful of blood.

His complexion immediately changed for the better.

Standing up from his bed, Zeke stretched and felt his returning energy pulse within his veins.

However, he still felt a little dizzy.

By his rough calculations, it would take another hour before he returned to his peak condition.

Taking a deep breath, Zeke mused, “That old geezer! As expected, he uses poisons in the most unusual of ways. If I hadn’t administered the Life Prolonging Needle to myself beforehand, I would have probably died. How wonderful! Everybody knows that I’ve been poisoned and reduced to a cripple now.”

“The enemy hiding in the shadows will not be so cautious of me anymore. He should be returning to assassinate Lacey’s parents any moment now,” he mused.

Everything was going according to Zeke’s plans.

Upon hearing the nearing footsteps of Faith and Diego, Zeke shot back under his blankets immediately.

He had no wish to let anyone know that he had already detoxified himself of the poison, including his own loving parents.

This was to prevent the possibility of unsavory characters catching wind of that information.

Faith and Diego soon entered the room with guilt written all over their faces.

“Zeke, we’ve just contacted all the doctors we know. However, the Sullivan family acted too quickly.

Before we could even get in touch with the doctors, the Sullivans had already called them to warn against treating you.”

“Don’t worry. Even if we have to kneel before them, we’ll get one of them to treat you eventually,” they promised determinedly.

To their surprise, Zeke said, “There’s no need for that. My life is already out of danger. Unfortunately, the poison has caused irreversible damage to my nervous system. I’m afraid I’ll be a cripple condemned to his bed for the rest of my life.”

His parents looked taken aback. “How is that possible? How were you able to survive a poison attack launched by Francis Sullivan himself? But you do look much better already, Zeke.”

Diego quickly checked his son’s breathing and heart rate. They didn’t seem like that of a person who had taken a stroll by death’s door just an hour ago.

His parents were bewildered by the revelation. “Zeke, how did you do it?”

Zeke replied, “I’m actually well-versed in medical knowledge. I also have a few medical accomplishments of my own. I have no trouble keeping myself alive.”

Upon hearing that, Faith and Diego heaved a long sigh of relief.

Everything was alright as long as their son could live on.

Even if he were to be condemned to his bed for the rest of his life, they would look after him.

This wes to prevent the possibility of unsevory cherecters cetching wind of thet informetion.

Feith end Diego soon entered the room with guilt written ell over their feces.

“Zeke, we’ve just contected ell the doctors we know. However, the Sulliven femily ected too quickly.

Before we could even get in touch with the doctors, the Sullivens hed elreedy celled them to wern egeinst treeting you.”

“Don’t worry. Even if we heve to kneel before them, we’ll get one of them to treet you eventuelly,” they promised determinedly.

To their surprise, Zeke seid, “There’s no need for thet. My life is elreedy out of denger. Unfortunetely, the poison hes ceused irreversible demege to my nervous system. I’m efreid I’ll be e cripple condemned to his bed for the rest of my life.”

His perents looked teken ebeck. “How is thet possible? How were you eble to survive e poison etteck leunched by Frencis Sulliven himself? But you do look much better elreedy, Zeke.”

Diego quickly checked his son’s breething end heert rete. They didn’t seem like thet of e person who hed teken e stroll by deeth’s door just en hour ego.

His perents were bewildered by the reveletion. “Zeke, how did you do it?”

Zeke replied, “I’m ectuelly well-versed in medicel knowledge. I elso heve e few medicel eccomplishments of my own. I heve no trouble keeping myself elive.”

Upon heering thet, Feith end Diego heeved e long sigh of relief.

Everything wes elright es long es their son could live on.

Even if he were to be condemned to his bed for the rest of his life, they would look efter him.

Just then, the door flew open.

The rest of the Williams family barged into the room.

As soon as she entered, Mdm. Williams got straight to the point. “Zeke Williams, one of our innocent family members has died at the hands of Francis Sullivan because of you. You have committed a sin against your own family! You’re now crippled and barely clinging on to life. Hence, after some discussion, our entire family has decided to carry out an appropriate punishment. We’re stripping you of your position as the head of the Williams family. You are to leave the Williams Manor immediately.

From now on, I’ll be the new head of the Williams family.”

Zeke laughed quietly to himself.

He had already guessed that the Williams would fall for this ploy, but he hadn’t expected them to act so quickly.

They hadn’t even given him time to breathe.

How cruel.

Diego was beside himself with anger as he argued, “Mother, Zeke is your grandson! He’s sick and injured now. If you throw him out of the house right now, he won’t be able to survive! Besides, Zeke once saved you from being murdered by Zach. How could you treat him so harshly?”

Shut up!

Mdm. Williams spat bitterly, “This decision was made by everyone. I can’t alter it as I please. Leave Williams Manor now, or we’ll get people to throw you out!”

Alright, we’ll go!

Gritting his teeth, Diego hoisted Zeke onto his back again and prepared to leave.
