Chapter 529
Lord Protector Novel
Laceyâs devastated and darkened eyes lit up with hope once more, she asked, âZeke, can you really revive my grandpa?â
Before that, she held no hope, but when she realized Zeke had come prepared, she saw a glimmer of victory.
Zeke grinned and answered, âWeâll let our dad save him when the time comes.â
Lacey got nervous then. âZeke, I think itâs better if you save grandpa. If dad couldâve saved grandpa, he wouldâve already done so.â
âThe most important thing is still to save grandpa, so please donât beat around the bushes and get to it.
I-Iâm scared.â
Zeke sighed deeply and said, âLacey, you underestimate the gravity of the situation.â
âEven after we proved dadâs innocence, this incident would still affect his reputation.â
âA doctorâs reputation is more important to him than his own life, and you wouldnât want dad to live the rest of his life burdened by this incident, right?â
âIf we get dad to revive grandpa, dadâs reputation will be saved.â
Lacey wanted to argue some more, but Daniel came over at that moment.
Daniel was nervous and sweating when he said, âZeke, the herb is ready. What do we do next?â
Zeke replied, âGive it to grandpa.â
Daniel agreed immediately and pried Adamâs mouth open before forcing the medicine down his throat.
After that, Daniel quickly backed away to the side and said, âYou may start, Zeke.â
Daniel didnât hold out for much hope either, but he would definitely be out of luck if he didnât at least try.
Zeke replied, âDad, I think itâs better if you do it. Treat him like you would any patient who had an allergic reaction.â
Huh?
Danielâs face turned eerily pale, and he said, âZeke, w-what does that mean?â
âI-I canât do it.â
Zeke encouraged Daniel, âDad, itâll be fine.â
After that, Zeke removed the five silver needles at the back of Adamâs head and put Danielâs hand on Adamâs chest.
One touch got Danielâs entire body to tremble immediately, as if lightning had struck him.
His heart is beating!
Itâs an actual heartbeat!
It was weak, but it was real.
A dead manâs heart had started beating again.
Oh my gosh, itâs a miracle!
Daniel couldnât think of any other word to describe the situation.
Zeke... is he an angel?
Zeke urged, âDad, what are you still standing here for? You need to save him right away.â
Daniel returned to reality then, and he barked, âQuick! Send him to the emergency room right away and prep for surgery!â
âHave the director of the vascular department, the allergy specialist, and the anesthetists get ready for the surgery.â
âSecurity! Security! Barricade that door and donât allow anyone to leave.â
Daniel was worried that Jeremy and Lily would flee once they realized that something was off, so he had the security guards lock the doors.
Both Jeremy and Lily were stunned.
Just a moment ago, Daniel was devastated, so why is he that excited after touching Adamâs chest?
Could it be...? Did Adam Hinton really come back from the dead?
Can he really be saved?
That revelation surprised both Jeremy and Lily.
If Adam woke up and clarified that they were the ones who tried to murder him, would the two of them be able to survive through it?
The answer was obviously no.
No. We canât let Daniel save Adam.
Jeremy growled angrily, âStop right there, Daniel Hinton! Donât think I donât know what youâre planning.
You just want to destroy the evidence!â
âYou will not touch dadâs body for as long as I am alive.â
Gideon realized that something was off too, so he halted Daniel, âDaniel Hinton, if you touch that body, I will sue you for disrespecting the dead.â
âIn Eurasia, the dead is to be respected. If you disrespect the body, it will be a criminal offence too! Iâm warning you. Donât make things even harder for yourself.â
Daniel refuted, âBody, my ass! Dad still has a heartbeat, and heâs not dead!â
âLet me save him right now, or itâll be too late.â
Adam Hinton really was alive!
In that case, we definitely canât let Daniel save Adam.
Jeremy shouted angrily, âLeave! Your parlor tricks canât fool us! Youâd have to kill me before you can touch our dad!â
Zeke sneered, âDirector, you are being careless with a human life. Committing a crime while being aware of the law is a grave sin.â
