“He did come, but Zeke scared him away.” Desmond sighed.
“What? Zeke came too? Why?”
“It's pretty obvious, isn't it? He wants to be with Emma but not her daughter. That's why he didn't want the divine
doctor to help Amelia. After knocking you out, he stormed into the room and beat up Mr. Fleming and me. He even
broke my arm.”
When she saw Desmond's bandaged left arm, Madeline believed the man. “That b*stard! If I ever see him again,
he'll feel my wrath!”
Seeing how upset Madeline was, Desmond smirked secretly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe knew Zeke had beat up Thomas the night before, so he decided to blame everything on Zeke.
In order to convince Madeline, Desmond had even wrapped up his left arm and pretended to be injured, which
proved to be effective.
Madeline was still cursing Zeke when her phone rang.
After seeing Emma's name on display, she hurriedly answered the call. “Where are you, Emma? Are you okay?”
Madeline was worried that Zeke had kidnapped her daughter.
“I'm fine, Mom. I'm at Sha's right now.”
Upon hearing that, Madeline let out a sigh of relief. “Good. I'm glad to hear that you and Amelia are okay. Now you
know Zeke for who he really is, don't you?”
Emma did not understand what her mother meant by that because Zeke had helped her a great deal.
Instead of responding to the rhetorical question, Emma decided to mention the reason she called Madeline. “I have
good news, Mom! There's hope for Amelia's legs! Sha happens to be Linton Group's business partner. She has set

“Really? Thank heavens for Sha! If everything really does work out in the end, we're going to owe her big time! So
when's the meeting? Let me come along.”
“We're getting ready for it now. Where are you, Mom? We can go pick you up.”
Immediately, Madeline turned to order the driver. “Stop the car now, Desmond. Emma has found someone who
can help Amelia, and she's coming to pick me up.”
Desmond knitted his brows. He could not believe that Emma had managed to contact the divine doctor herself. It

seems like I've underestimated them.
Desmond had no choice but to stop the car since Madeline had repeatedly urged him to do so.
Still, he was not happy about how things had transpired. If Emma managed to get a divine doctor to treat Amelia's
legs, Thomas would lose his leverage. And if Thomas can't get his hands on Emma, how am I supposed to please
him? No, I cannot allow this to happen.
At that moment, Desmond knew he had to call Thomas, who had been admitted to a hospital after enduring the
Boxing King's brutal beating.
For the first time in Thomas' life, he was injured so severely that he almost died.
However, all the pain he suffered quickly became his hatred for Zeke.
He wanted nothing more than to smash the man into smithereens then.
“I have bad news, Mr. Fleming!” exclaimed Desmond the moment Thomas picked up.
“What is it?” questioned Thomas, frowning.
