Before Lacey and Zeke arrive home, she receives a call from her mother, Hannah.
"Lacey, are you trying to piss us off? Look what you did today! You have brought so much disgrace to our family. Your father had a heart attack, and he's at Heartland Hospital now. Hurry up."
Hit it!
Struck by lightning, Lacey dropped her phone to the ground, her face paled.
He had not expected that today's incident would be a huge blow to his father.
"Hurry, to the hospital!" Lacey screamed with all her might. "My dad had a heart attack."
"Hmm okay." Zeke turned sharply and drove towards the hospital.
Along the way, he calls Lone Wolf, who picks him up at the airport. "Send me the Ammunition Needle."
Zeke is ready to save his future father-in-law and give him a good impression.
Other than the Great Marshal, he had another identity, the God of Needles!
He created the Ammunition Needle that had been saved
There are many lives, from generals to civilians.
A little heart attack is a piece of cake for him.
On the other end of the phone, Lone Wolf's eyes flared. "After five years, the God of Needles has finally moved again! I wonder who the man who deserves for the Grand Marshal to take action personally."
"Don't be a spy" Zeke continued. "Also, for the Great Returning Ceremony three days later, set the Clemons' family to be servants."
"Geez," replied Lone Wolf.
After hanging up the phone, Zeke realized Lacey was looking at him strangely.
"What are you doing?" ask Lacey.
"I'll save your own father" Zeke replied.
"Also, I've arranged for Emily's family to be servants at the Great Ceremony." |
Lacey desperately lay on the chair, sighing in disappointment
Why didn't I find this man so arrogant before?
Was the Grand Marshal's Ceremony something he could camp out?
How ridiculous.
Shortly after, the two arrived at the hospital.
The scene in the hospital made Lacey feel like a knife had pierced her heart.
Her mother, Hannah, was kneeling before Emily, begging her forgiveness while Jeremy and Scott's family stood beside her, saying nothing.
Emily seemed proud and aloof, being indifferent to Hannah's request.
Zeke frowned. "Why is Emily here?"
Lacey got out of the car and darted towards Hannah. "Mom, wake. Why are you on your knees?"
Hannah wiped her tears and said, "You came just in time, Lacey. Hurry up, beg Emily to save your father. She's in the emergency room, but Emily's mother is the attending physician and refuses to save her."
Both Madeleine and Daniel work at this hospital. They appear to be outwardly united but divided in heart. They had recently competed for the position of Head of Department to each other.
Coupled with what happened at the wedding today, the two families were arguably sworn enemies.
It would be weird if Madeleine saved Daniel after what happened.
Now that it's too late to move to another hospital, Hannah can only beg Emily on her knees.
Lacey's head is pulsating.
He didn't have time to think too much now. The most urgent matter right now was to save his father.
He had no choice but to give up his pride and plead, "Emily, my father is critically ill. Please help me and let your mother save my father."
Emily sneers. "Is it too late to beg me now? Didn't you take your husband with you? Ask Zeke to help you. What are you begging me for?"
Only then did Hannah know that the person who came with Lacey was Zeke.
A new wave of anger appeared within him at once.
"Lacey, what? Why are you taking this trash with you? You're blind to like it... Don't you know he's not just a useless guy? who lives off a woman but also someone who has served five years in prison?"
"I warned you, Williams. Don't think you can get into my house. My house has no place for trash like you."
"Don't worry, Emily. I'll definitely teach Lacey a lesson when we get back. It's Lacey's fault today."
Emily felt much better after hearing those words. "OKAY. If you want my mom to save him, give us three hundred grand for medical bills, but it's gotta be paid by Zeke."
The Hinton family is in a dilemma.
Since Zeke could not pay three hundred thousand, the marriage engagement was annulled.
Emily accidentally makes a hole by forcing Zeke to pay for the medical bills.
Zeke sighed. She didn't expect Emily to be so rude and cruel.
How did I spend five years with him?
"Haha. I believe we can end this happily, but now it seems like you are determined to dig your own grave. If that's what you want, I can only fulfill your wish."
"Hmph! Don't change the subject with nonsense" Emily giggled.
"Why? You can't get the money? Okay, I'll give you another chance. Kneel down and apologize to me, both you and Lacey. Then admit that you're a simp who doesn't deserve me."
"And Lacey it was just a loose woman who took my things!" Emily continued.
Lacey's eyes were red as her heart trembled.
This request is too much!
However, thinking about her father does not make
Her…
He had no choice but to compromise on the cruel reality as he bent his legs, about to kneel down.
But Zeke quickly stopped him.
"Lacey, don't beg him. I'll treat your father's illness."
Emily chuckles haughtily, "Lacey Hinton, I'm sure you don't know her true colors."
"Forget that he is poor and cannot afford medical bills. Just look at him, unwilling to submit to anything, even to save your father's life. All he does is talk big! She's my lover who was denied her love, and you're only worthy to take what I've decided."
Each of his words pierced Lacey's heart, which had long been hollowed out, like a knife on a cutting board.
The slap!
Suddenly, Zeke punches Emily in the face, drops her to the ground and throws one of her teeth.
"As I said, Lacey is my wife. No one can insult him. Since you didn't remember it last time, let me remind you again!"
Zeke's voice tone was strong and high.
The Hinton family almost exploded in anger.
You rascal. How could you hit him while we were still asking for help?
He will not help us at this level.
Lacey staggered backwards, away from Zeke.
Is he a demon?
He's gonna get my dad killed!
He was disappointed, regretting his previous choice.
"Why... Why are you doing that?" Lacey's voice was shaking.
"Even the gods cannot insult my wife" Zeke said seriously.
Lacey wanted to scold him but held back her words because of that statement.
His current mood was beyond words.
After a long time, Emily regained consciousness.
His smile was terrible.
"Haha, good boy, Williams. The Hinton family has been an amazing daughter-in-law. Remember, it wasn't our family that killed Daniel, it was Zeke."
He walked into the office and slammed the door.
Hannah collapsed to the ground with a thud, her face deathly pale.
"You ... You go ... Getting lost!"
At this moment, Zeke's phone rang.
He looked for his phone and turned around after glancing at the screen.
Of course, he didn't leave. He went to the emergency room instead.
Lone Wolf had just sent a message telling him that he had sent the Ammunition Needle to the emergency room door.
Looking at Zeke's retreating figure, Lacey was crushed.
There was no greater sorrow than when his heart died, and that was precisely his feelings towards Zeke at this moment.
On the other hand, after Zeke took the silver needle, he went to the emergency room to treat Daniel who was in shock.
"Many prominent families are willing to give up their family possessions to ask the Great Marshal for help, but he will always ignore them" Lone Wolf murmured to himself.
"But today, he made an exception for ordinary people! Is that love? Why do people live for it? And die for it?"
At the side, Hannah leaned against the wall, looking lonely and desperate.
"It's over. It's all over. Zeke Williams has ruined our family."
"Lacey, Jackson a hundred times, a thousand times better than Zeke. Why do you insist on choosing Zeke?"
Jeremy and Scott's family begin to criticize Lacey, condemning Zeke.
They are also angry about this.
Of course, they were not angry that Zeke was going to kill Daniel, but because Lacey did not choose the Hamilton family.
How can we steal the glory of the Hamilton family if he doesn't marry Jackson?
Jeremy has brain waves. "Hey, stop crying. I have an idea."
"Lacey, call Jackson right now. Apologize to him and beg his forgiveness, then ask him to help us."
"The Hamilton family has an extensive network of connections. They even get an invitation card from the Great Marshal through a connection. So they should get to know the hospital leaders!" |
Scott chimed in, "Jackson said earlier that he could make your father the Head of Department through his connections, so he definitely knew the hospital leaders."
Hana's eyes sparkled. "Darling, call Jackson, hurry."
Lacey instinctively wanted to resist.
She could not imagine her life after marrying Jackson.
However, when she looked at her mother's lonely and desperate eyes and thought about her father's current situation, she gritted her teeth and called.
He decides to sacrifice himself to save his father.
Connected calls.
"Hello, Jackson? I have something to ask." Lacey's voice was slightly choked.
On the other end of the phone, Jackson was shocked.
Lacey would normally be cold to him, but why would she look for him first today?
Why did he suddenly ask for my help?
"What kindness?" Jackson asked.
"Do you know the leaders of Heartland Hospital? My father had a heart attack and needed a cardiologist to save him ..."
Jackson rejoiced in his heart.
It was the perfect opportunity for her to have Lacey, and imagining her perfectly sculpted body made her thirsty.
"I know the director of Heartland Hospital. It just so happened that he was a cardiologist," he said.
"Thank you?" Lacey was very happy. "Please save my father!"
"I can save him, but" Jackson stopped. "You have to promise me something."
"What's that?" ask Lacey carefully.
"Come to my place tonight." Jackson put on a nasty grin. "Let's put on a little show."
Lacey was disgusted by his words.
But on the thought that his father might ...
It seems he has no other choice.
Biting her lips, she gave up on him in the end. "okay."
"Haha, I'll see you tonight!" said Jackson.
Tonight, your long hair will be the control of my horse. This is gonna be good!
After hanging up Lacey's phone, she immediately called the director.
But no one answered.
He just threw away his phone and stopped trying.
"Darling, I'm coming," he began, throwing himself upon a woman in bed.
"Time is precious. Hinton's life was not worth my time. I'd just say that the director was on a business trip later and then found a random doctor to go and stop him."
