Chapter 654
‘The western gate is where the security is the weakest. You can take
Claudette away from there, Laura noted at the end of her note.
After reading the note, Emmanuel tore it into pieces, flushed it down the toilet,
and walked out as if nothing had happened. Then, he followed the Lenoir
family’s guards and came to Claudette’s room.
At their first encounter, Emmanuel felt his heart sink. Claudette looked pallid
and lifeless, and guarding her were still the four women Magnus brought.
“Go away!” Emmanuel pushed the four women away rudely. He knew very
well that they were not here to save Claudette but to harm her.
He checked Claudette’s breathing, dreading the fact that she might already
be dead. Fortunately, she was still breathing, but just barely.
The machinery was also still running.
He wondered, though, if Magnus was hesitant to kill Claudette openly or if he
was unwilling to harm the woman he loved.
“Dr. Lowe, from our observations, Ms. Lenoir’s condition is worsening. If she
doesn’t wake up by tomorrow morning, it’s unlikely she’ll ever wake up again,”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsaid one of the nurses with a hint of concern.
Her words alerted Emmanuel, and he confirmed these four nurses had
impressive medical skills.
She was right. If he didn’t come and remove the two silver needles from the
back of Claudette’s head, she wouldn’t be able to hold on for another 24
hours in her current condition.
“I’m going to wake her up now. You all can leave,” Emmanuel commanded
icily. However, the four women remained indifferent. They knew very well
whose orders they should follow.
“You scoundrels! I am the appointed chief physician by General Lenoir
himself. If you don’t cooperate with me and something happens to Ms. Lenoir,
can you bear the responsibility?”
Emmanuel deliberately tested the four women, and sure enough, no matter
how angry he was, the four women wouldn’t leave. Their task was evidently to
monitor Claudette.
Rumble!
Just then, a loud rumble came from outside the building, causing the entire
room to shake slightly.
The four women showed signs of unease, unaware of what was happening
outside.
Emmanuel, on the other hand, smirked. Looks like Eve has arrived with
reinforcements.

Sure enough, the commotion erupted instantly outside, and Emmanuel,
taking advantage of the women’s distraction, waved silver needles at them.
“Watch out!” shouted one of the nurses. Unfortunately, at such a close
distance, Emmanuel’s sneak attack left them with no chance to evade.
In an instant, each of them had several silver needles inserted into their
bodies.
“Hmph, childish tricks.” A nurse smiled disdainfully, thinking the silver needles
were probably just dipped in an anesthetic. They were well–versed in
medicine, and the room was prepared with various drugs to counteract such
attempts easily.
But in the next second, they were affected by the needles, feeling in disarray.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm-Strange energy circulated through their meridians, causing excruciating pain
with every movement, driving them to the brink of insanity.
“The silver needles aren’t poisoned. I merely infused a trace of inner energy to
disrupt your meridian system,” explained Emmanuel, smirking.”
Thanks to the Ghost Doctor, his meridians had undergone significant repair.
Coupled with his past training as the Wolf Warrior, dealing with a few women
was a simple task.
in the next moment, Emmanuel removed the two silver needles from the
back of Claudette’s head, and almost simultaneously, piercing alarms rang
outside the villa.
“Someone has intruded into the Lenoir residence!”
“Take them down quickly!”
The commotion outside grew increasingly louder, indicating that the Lenoir
family’s guards were mobilizing on a large scale.
However, Emmanuel couldn’t bother himself with the situation outside at the
moment, shaking Claudette, calling to her nervously, “Claudette! Claudette,
wake up!”
Unfortunately, Claudette was too weak and had been unconscious for too
long. She couldn’t wake up in this short time.
