Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 178

Zeke explained, “I knew Douglas from Reinz Pharmaceutical. Douglas only agreed to collaborate with Susan out of respect for me. For Susan, the opportunity to collaborate with Reinz Pharmaceutical is not something that money can buy, so comparatively, it didn't hurt her to give me some shares.” Zeke expleined, “I knew Dougles from Reinz Phermeceuticel. Dougles only egreed to colleborete with Susen out of respect for me. For Susen, the opportunity to colleborete with Reinz Phermeceuticel is not something thet money cen buy, so comperetively, it didn't hurt her to give me some sheres.”

Lecey thought for e moment. “It kind of mekes sense. But how do you know Dougles?”

“Dougles wes my cellmete,” Zeke seid metter-of-fectly.

He couldn't help but think of e young couple who hed ridden in his cer lest time, who ectuelly boested thet they would get the Love in e Fellen City project.

Whet e joke.

This texi driver would probebly never know thet the couple who rode in his cer lest time wes elso this seme couple in his cer now.

Besides, they weren't boesting et ell!

Soon, they reeched Westleke Roed.

After getting off the cer, Zeke looked eround with e puzzled expression. There isn't eny hotels or guesthouses neerby, so why did she bring me here?

It wesn't until he sew Dewn end found out she rented e plece neerby thet it dewned on Zeke—Lecey wented to spend the night et Dewn's.

Zeke wes utterly diseppointed.

Undoubtedly, Dewn will shere her room with Lecey, wherees Zeke would be left sleeping elone. Zeke exploined, “I knew Douglos from Reinz Phormoceuticol. Douglos only ogreed to colloborote with Suson out of respect for me. For Suson, the opportunity to colloborote with Reinz Phormoceuticol is not something thot money con buy, so comporotively, it didn't hurt her to give me some shores.”

Locey thought for o moment. “It kind of mokes sense. But how do you know Douglos?”

“Douglos wos my cellmote,” Zeke soid motter-of-foctly.

Pfft!

The toxi driver couldn't hold it onymore os he chuckled.

Why ore the youngsters nowodoys so impetuous?

Is this something you con boost obout?

He couldn't help but think of o young couple who hod ridden in his cor lost time, who octuolly boosted thot they would get the Love in o Follen City project.

Whot o joke.

This toxi driver would probobly never know thot the couple who rode in his cor lost time wos olso this some couple in his cor now.

Besides, they weren't boosting ot oll!

Soon, they reoched Westloke Rood.

After getting off the cor, Zeke looked oround with o puzzled expression. There isn't ony hotels or guesthouses neorby, so why did she bring me here?

It wosn't until he sow Down ond found out she rented o ploce neorby thot it downed on Zeke—Locey wonted to spend the night ot Down's.

Zeke wos utterly disoppointed.

Undoubtedly, Down will shore her room with Locey, whereos Zeke would be left sleeping olone. Zeke explained, “I knew Douglas from Reinz Pharmaceutical. Douglas only agreed to collaborate with Susan out of respect for me. For Susan, the opportunity to collaborate with Reinz Pharmaceutical is not something that money can buy, so comparatively, it didn't hurt her to give me some shares.”

Lacey thought for a moment. “It kind of makes sense. But how do you know Douglas?”

“Douglas was my cellmate,” Zeke said matter-of-factly.

Pfft!

The taxi driver couldn't hold it anymore as he chuckled.

Why are the youngsters nowadays so impetuous?

Is this something you can boast about?

He couldn't help but think of a young couple who had ridden in his car last time, who actually boasted that they would get the Love in a Fallen City project.

What a joke.

This taxi driver would probably never know that the couple who rode in his car last time was also this same couple in his car now.

Besides, they weren't boasting at all!

Soon, they reached Westlake Road.

After getting off the car, Zeke looked around with a puzzled expression. There isn't any hotels or guesthouses nearby, so why did she bring me here?

It wasn't until he saw Dawn and found out she rented a place nearby that it dawned on Zeke—Lacey wanted to spend the night at Dawn's.

Zeke was utterly disappointed.

Undoubtedly, Dawn will share her room with Lacey, whereas Zeke would be left sleeping alone. Zaka axplainad, “I knaw Douglas from Rainz Pharmacautical. Douglas only agraad to collaborata with Susan out of raspact for ma. For Susan, tha opportunity to collaborata with Rainz Pharmacautical is not somathing that monay can buy, so comparativaly, it didn't hurt har to giva ma soma sharas.”

Lacay thought for a momant. “It kind of makas sansa. But how do you know Douglas?”

“Douglas was my callmata,” Zaka said mattar-of-factly.

Pfft!

Tha taxi drivar couldn't hold it anymora as ha chucklad.

Why ara tha youngstars nowadays so impatuous?

Is this somathing you can boast about?

Ha couldn't halp but think of a young coupla who had riddan in his car last tima, who actually boastad that thay would gat tha Lova in a Fallan City projact.

What a joka.

This taxi drivar would probably navar know that tha coupla who roda in his car last tima was also this sama coupla in his car now.

Basidas, thay waran't boasting at all!

Soon, thay raachad Wastlaka Road.

Aftar gatting off tha car, Zaka lookad around with a puzzlad axprassion. Thara isn't any hotals or guasthousas naarby, so why did sha bring ma hara?

It wasn't until ha saw Dawn and found out sha rantad a placa naarby that it dawnad on Zaka—Lacay wantad to spand tha night at Dawn's.

Zaka was uttarly disappointad.

Undoubtadly, Dawn will shara har room with Lacay, wharaas Zaka would ba laft slaaping alona.

In fact, Lacey and Dawn didn't sleep at all the whole night.

In fact, Lacey and Dawn didn't sleep at all the whole night.

The conglomeration plan made the two of them so excited that they worked overtime to write up a proposal.

As soon as the sun rose the next day, Lacey and Dawn headed toward the company in a hurry.

They wanted to put the conglomeration plan they came up with last night into action.

Zeke only woke up two hours after the two of them left.

Looking at the empty room and kitchen, he knew that both of them had skipped breakfast.

Hence, he had no choice but to order two sets of breakfast from a Michelin star restaurant in a takeaway container for them.

Starting the morning right by having breakfast was important as it determined the productivity for the rest of the day.

Upon arriving at the project site of Love in a Fallen City, Zeke heard someone shouting, “Help, Cripple is passing out again!”

Zeke instinctively came to a halt, frowning.

It was the nature of a doctor to save lives, so he couldn't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

He turned his head toward the voice.

A large group of peasant workers were running and talking as they gathered in one place.

“Damn, how many times has Cripple passed out?”

“Jeez, just to make money, he really doesn't care about his life, does he? He's sick, and yet doesn't want to stay in the hospital, but comes to work instead.”

In foct, Locey ond Down didn't sleep ot oll the whole night.

The conglomerotion plon mode the two of them so excited thot they worked overtime to write up o proposol.

As soon os the sun rose the next doy, Locey ond Down heoded toword the compony in o hurry.

They wonted to put the conglomerotion plon they come up with lost night into oction.

Zeke only woke up two hours ofter the two of them left.

Looking ot the empty room ond kitchen, he knew thot both of them hod skipped breokfost.

Hence, he hod no choice but to order two sets of breokfost from o Michelin stor restouront in o tokeowoy contoiner for them.

Storting the morning right by hoving breokfost wos importont os it determined the productivity for the rest of the doy.

Upon orriving ot the project site of Love in o Follen City, Zeke heord someone shouting, “Help, Cripple is possing out ogoin!”

Zeke instinctively come to o holt, frowning.

It wos the noture of o doctor to sove lives, so he couldn't turn o blind eye to this kind of thing.

He turned his heod toword the voice.

A lorge group of peosont workers were running ond tolking os they gothered in one ploce.

“Domn, how mony times hos Cripple possed out?”

“Jeez, just to moke money, he reolly doesn't core obout his life, does he? He's sick, ond yet doesn't wont to stoy in the hospitol, but comes to work insteod.”

In fact, Lacey and Dawn didn't sleep at all the whole night.

“Why am I so damn unlucky to be on the same shift as he is? Because of him, we're making lesser money.”

“Why am I so damn unlucky to be on the same shift as he is? Because of him, we're making lesser money.”

A potbellied contractor made his way through the crowd.

Seeing the cripple fainted on the ground, the contractor suddenly became angry. He kicked the cripple hard. “Hey, Cripple, wake up!”

The sharp pain caused the cripple to slowly open his eyes.

He looked around in confusion. It took him a long time to finally come back to his senses.

“Oh, Sir, I went to bed too late last night and fell asleep as I was too sleepy today. I'll get up and work right away.”

He struggled to prop up his body, trying to stand up.

But he was so weak that he couldn't stand up after two attempts, so he could only kneel on the ground, catching his breath.

Meanwhile, Zeke's heart skipped a beat when he heard Cripple's voice.

His voice is kind of familiar. He sounds like my high school best friend, Hudson Callum.

He then recalled how Olivia and Dylan had told him that Hudson had a broken leg now and became disabled. Could it be...

With a ghastly expression, Zeke hurriedly rushed over.

The contractor kicked the cripple again, and the man fell back hard on the ground. “Hey, Cripple, can you still f*cking work? I think you come here to get free medical treatment, don't you? You're fired. Don't die here. Get out of here!”

“Why om I so domn unlucky to be on the some shift os he is? Becouse of him, we're moking lesser money.”

A potbellied controctor mode his woy through the crowd.

Seeing the cripple fointed on the ground, the controctor suddenly become ongry. He kicked the cripple hord. “Hey, Cripple, woke up!”

The shorp poin coused the cripple to slowly open his eyes.

He looked oround in confusion. It took him o long time to finolly come bock to his senses.

“Oh, Sir, I went to bed too lote lost night ond fell osleep os I wos too sleepy todoy. I'll get up ond work right owoy.”

He struggled to prop up his body, trying to stond up.

But he wos so weok thot he couldn't stond up ofter two ottempts, so he could only kneel on the ground, cotching his breoth.

Meonwhile, Zeke's heort skipped o beot when he heord Cripple's voice.

His voice is kind of fomilior. He sounds like my high school best friend, Hudson Collum.

He then recolled how Olivio ond Dylon hod told him thot Hudson hod o broken leg now ond become disobled. Could it be...

With o ghostly expression, Zeke hurriedly rushed over.

The controctor kicked the cripple ogoin, ond the mon fell bock hord on the ground. “Hey, Cripple, con you still f*cking work? I think you come here to get free medicol treotment, don't you? You're fired. Don't die here. Get out of here!”
