Chapter 1203

Lacey paled from the shock and quickly retracted her hands.

“Mr. Wood, please mind your manners. Don’t make that kind of request anymore. I will never agree to it.”

Mr. Wood was dissatisfied with her answer, “To my knowledge, Ms. Hinton has been alone all these years. You’re still in your prime. It’s such a pity that you are widowed at such a young age.”

“This suggestion benefits both of us. Don’t worry, I promise that it’s going to be a pleasurable experience for you.”

Lacey felt like vomiting looking at his hideous face.

However, she forced herself to stay for the sake of treating her daughter.

“Mr. Wood, please stop saying these. It’s impossible. If you really want to treat my daughter, I will sell everything in my possession to pay you the amount you’re asking for.”

Mr. Wood looked disappointed, “Hmm, okay. Let’s just pretend that didn’t happen. What about if you accompany me for a drink and pay me ten million for your daughter’s treatment? I don’t think this request is over the line, right?”

Lacey could only force herself to accept his terms, “I... I can only drink a little. My alcohol tolerance is quite bad.”

“Sure.”

Mr. Wood poured the alcohol right away.

Zeke, who was sitting beside them, noticed that Mr. Wood had dipped his finger into the drink.

Damn it, he’s drugging Lacey.

There’s no doubt it was aphrodisiac.

However, Lacey did not seem to notice it and was about to drink the spiked drink.

“Stop, don’t drink it!” bellowed Zeke.

Mr. Wood and Lacey were stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of the voice.

When Lacey noticed that it was Zeke, she felt goosebumps all over and burst into a cry.

It’s him, he’s finally back!

The man that she had yearned for in her dreams; the man that she spent every waking moment thinking about had finally appeared before her!

Lacey got very emotional at the sight of him.

However, most of it were anger.

Where were you when the Thisletons bullied me and took over Linton Group forcefully?

Where were you when I was experiencing excruciating contractions in the hospital?

Where were you when I was chased out by the Thisletons because of a minor error? What about when we were roaming the streets as homeless people?

Why are you only back when I’ve become stronger and able to support myself?

Why? Why?

Indignation she felt all these while turned into tears and rolled down her cheeks.

She hugged Missy in her embrace and cried, “Let go!”

“You don’t have the right to touch my child.”

Zeke felt his heart constricting when he saw Lacey suffering.

Only God knew how Lacey got through all these years.

Zeke said guiltily, “Lacey, I’m sorry for your suffering all these years.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll explain to you why I’ve disappeared these three years. I believe that you’d be able to forgive me when you know the reasons.”

Lacey could only snort at his delusion.

Didn’t you go Atlantis to look for Princess Leia?

And you expect me to forgive you?

Missy wiped the tears off his mom’s face with his fingers, “Mommy, don’t cry. You said daddy doesn’t like crybabies. Daddy will not come back if we cry.”

Lacey hurriedly wiped her tears dry, “Okay, mommy won’t cry.”

“Lacey, please go out and get some fresh air. I need to talk to Mr. Wood here,” Zeke added.

Lacey knew exactly what he was up to.

She hurriedly replied, “Williams, you’re not allowed to touch Mr. Wood. He’s the only one who could save Missy right now. Besides, he did not hurt me in any way.”

“Really?” Zeke retorted. He proceeded to pour some of the spiked drink into the fish tank.
