Paul did not stay for long. After exchanging simple greetings with Joshua and Eleanor, he left.
After he left, Zeke led Sage and her family away from the mess and the stunned crowd.
Hollie wiped the blood by the corner of her lips and grunted, “Sage, you’re dead! The whole Walters family will have
to die! That young man beside them has to die too!”
Shock struck the crowd again.
The Moore family of Atheville had gone mad.
It was the end of the Walters family.
A martyr’s certificate was not a guarantee of their safety.
Soon, Zeke and the group returned to the house in Trey Alley.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSage’s house was in disrepair. They barely had any functioning electronics; even their furniture was centuries-old.
After asking Zeke and Sole Wolf to take a seat, the family of three stared at Frederick’s certificate in a daze. They
mumbled to themselves, feeling an assortment of complicated emotions swirling within them.
Upon realizing that they were neglecting Zeke and Sole Wolf, Sage said to Hollie, “Mom, cook some good dishes for
my brother’s comrades.”
“Sure, sure.” Eleanor smiled as she nodded. “We have two bottles of good wine at home too. Let my husband
accompany you for a drink later. Frederick would be glad if he knew you were here to visit.”
“Thanks, Ma’am.” Zeke smiled politely.
“Thanks, Ma’am.” Zeke smiled politely.
To please his possible mother-in-law, Sole Wolf followed Zeke and politely muttered, “Thanks, Ma’am.”
Zeke looked at Sage and asked, “Sage, tell me, why were you marrying Xander? Did he force you to do so?”
Sage sighed and shook her head.
“No. I was marrying him willingly.”
“Huh?” Zeke frowned. “Why do you want to marry him? He’s not worthy of you.”
Sage had a bitter smile on her lips.
“It’s a long story. Xander used to cling to me a long time ago, but I never said agreed to anything involving him.
However, my dad’s ascites are getting worse, and it’s endangering his life. If he doesn’t get an operation, my dad
might... With my family’s situation, we can’t afford the operation fees. Left without any other choices, I
compromised.”
Huh?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbruptly, Joshua shouted in agitation, “You silly girl, w- why didn’t you tell me this earlier? If I messed up the rest of
your life, I’d rather die. Silly girl, I’ll disown you if you come up with plans like this in the future.”
Sage’s frown remained. “But, Dad, your illness...”
Joshua sighed, “I should’ve died five years ago. I’m already glad to have lived this long.”
Zeke winked at Sole Wolf. Sole Wolf, it’s your chance now! Don’t let it slip by you.
If Sole Wolf were to beg Zeke to treat Joshua, he would leave a good impression on the Walters family.
The gears in his mind turning slower than usual, Sole Wolf stared at Zeke, confused.
It was only when Zeke sneakily revealed his silver needle when Sole Wolf realized what he meant.
He quickly requested, “Zeke, Joshua’s like my father. Please save him.”
Joshua and Sage turned to stare at Zeke, shocked. “Are you a doctor?”
Zeke nodded. “Yes, I used to be an army doctor. I’ve saved more than thousands of soldiers.”
Sage began to beg, “Mr. Williams, please save my father.”
Zeke shot her a gentle smile. “Sage, just call me Zeke from now on.”
She shyly nodded. “Zeke.”
