Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 528

“Having no sign of life doesn’t mean that the person is dead,” said Zeke.

“He had a sudden cerebral infarction and has already survived the critical period. His allergy to the medication would only cause a temporary shock, but it won’t kill him.”

Gideon was delighted to hear Zeke say that. “You think you can treat and revive him?” said Gideon.

“Of course,” claimed Zeke.

Gideon laughed aloud and said, “This is the funniest joke in the world.”

“Fine. I will give you a shot at saving him since you claimed you can do so.”

“If he doesn’t live, I will sue you for murder! After all, you have verbally admitted that he is still alive.”

“Then would you be admitting to attempted murder and gross misconduct if I save him?”

Gideon replied, “Sure.”

Daniel was nervous then.

If they had realized what had happened sooner and had rushed to rescue Adam, they might actually have a shot at saving him.

However, it had been too long, and the body was practically cold. Even the gods couldn’t save Adam under those circumstances.

Daniel quickly instructed Zeke, “Zeke, don’t touch your grandpa’s body.”

“They obviously came prepared and if you lay a hand on your grandpa, they might actually accuse you of murder.”

“I am old, and I have no regrets because I am blessed with a great son-in-law like you. I can die happy, so you don’t have to fight for me.”

Zeke comforted Daniel and teased, “I can’t let anything happen to you, dad. I am still counting on you to help babysit.”

As Zeke spoke, he fished a plant out of his pocket and handed it to Daniel. “Do me a favor, dad, and turn this into powder. I’m going to need it,” said Zeke.

After that, Zeke rushed towards the patient’s room.

“Zeke...” said Daniel, who still wanted to advice Zeke against helping. However, Lacey spoke up, “Dad, hurry and do as Zeke say.”

“We’re out of options and can only bet on him.”

Daniel was still anxious, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and rushed to the lab to grind that herb into powder.

The herb Zeke gave Daniel was one of the ten rarest herbs, the Rhodiola Rosea. Only five farms in the entire country produce that herb, so it was extremely valuable.

Naturally, no one on site had seen the herb before because they don’t have the status nor right to learn about it. Hence, no one recognized it.

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Can someone please explain the situation to me? Did that guy just said that he could bring someone back from the dead?”

“You bought that? I suspect that he is just trying to buy some time.”

“I think so too. The body is already cold, there is no way he could revive him.”

“Quick, everyone barricade the door. Don’t let them escape.”

Lacey hurried into the patient’s room to help Zeke out. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Zeke was calm when he examined Adam.

He checked the pulse, the iris, the tongue...

After examining everything, Zeke took a deep breath and stated, “The murderer is cruel and injected him with an extremely huge dosage of amoxicillin.”

“A dosage that big is not just deadly for someone allergic to amoxicillin. Even a regular human being could not withstand a dosage like that.”

Lacey felt hopeless when she heard that, and she asked, “Zeke, is my grandpa gone?”

Zeke shook his head and answered, “Don’t worry. My life-preserving needles are helping him hold on to the last thread of life, so he won’t die.”

“Life-preserving needles? What are those?” asked Lacey in confusion.

Zeke turned Adam’s head to the side and revealed what was behind. “Look.”

That was when Lacey realized that five silver needles had been inserted into the back of Adam’s head and formed the shape of a star.

“You did that?” asked Lacey excitedly.

Zeke nodded and said, “Yeah. Last night, I saw the injury at the back of his head and was worried that he might get into an accident, so I placed the needles to protect him.”

“I didn’t realize that they’d actually be of use this way.”

What Zeke had use was the Ammo Needle technique, the Life-Preserving Needle!

The ones being treated by this technique would have his or her life extended by one day. It was true for all illnesses and injuries except beheading and massive loss of blood.
