Chapter - 192

Zeke replied nonchalantly, “Actually, it isn’t a big deal. I reported the ex-director of the hospital who has been involved in bribery to Shawn. He lost his cool and decided to terminate the ex-director. Hence, he decided to hand over the hospital to me instead.”

Lacey voiced out her doubts, “He actually gave you a hospital because of the report you made? You must be lying!”

Zeke replied, “That’s not the sole reason! Do you remember the Global TCM Forum held previously? I was the one who defended the TCM practitioners’ dignity and turned the table on the Western doctors instead. In the end, they had to apologize to us fellow TCM practitioners.”

“Shawn had offered me the position of the TCM Practitioners Association’s president back then, but I turned him down. He had to give in to me then, so he decided to give me this hospital instead.”

Lacey finally figured out what had happened. “Oh… That’s more like it.”

Thump!

Daniel’s chopstick and bowl fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Hannah scolded him, “What are you doing? I’ve never seen someone of your age dropping their food!”

Daniel ignored Hannah’s word and stared at Zeke instead. “Zeke, w-what… did you just say?”

Zeke tapped on his head and replied, “Oh, right! Dad! I didn’t get the chance to tell you yet because you didn’t pick up my call back when I had called you in the afternoon!”

“Shawn handed over Heartland Hospital to me. You’re the boss of the hospital from to…”

Daniel immediately rushed into his room and searched high and low for his tuxedo. He was about to rush out of the house right after he found

Hannah stopped him, “Hey! Where are you going?”

“The hospital! Where else can I possibly go? I have to carry out my duty as the supervisor!” replied Daniel.

Hannah scolded him, “Supervisor? Stop bluffing! You merely want to show off, right?”

Suddenly, Daniel rushed back into the house moment he made his way to the entrance and shouted, “Thanks, Zeke!”

His eyes brimmed with tears; he could barely hold back his excitement.

Zeke replied, “You’re welcome, dad.”

Lacey’s grandmother couldn’t hold back her emotions as well. “Sigh… I can’t deny the fact that Thave belittled Daniel back in the day. I didn’t expect the day he becomes a hospital’s boss would ever come.”

Hannah replied, “Mom, he got the position thanks to Zeke. I mean, he didn’t get to be the boss of the hospital through his own effort, right?”

“If it weren’t because of Zeke, Daniel would have long lost his job as a doctor…”

“Hmph! How dare he get ahead of himself when he’s not even officially the boss yet? What a wimp! He’s no match for Zeke at all!”

“That’s enough, mom! Let’s forget about it!” Lacey stopped her mother and stood up for his father.

“Dad has always been a wimp ever since he got attached to that particular hospital for thirty years. It’s normal for him to get rid of his grudges he has been holding now that he’s the boss, right?”

They wrapped up their dinner session soon after.

Dawn packed a piece of red velvet cake and brought it home with her as a late-night snack.

Hannah and her mother slept in the same room.

Zeke would get to spend a night in Lacey’s room again.

However, Lacey held her ground and insisted on Zeke sleeping on the floor.

Zeke felt helpless because he couldn’t get around his wife. “Lacey, when do I get to join you in bed?”

Lacey sized her husband up. “It seems like you’re keeping a lot of things from me, huh? There must be plenty of secrets yours which I have yet to figure out!”

“I’ll allow you to join me in bed once I’ve figured out everything you have been keeping from me!”

“That’s simple! I’ll just tell you everything! Actually, I’m a super-wealthy man! I can easily outmatch the country in terms of money!”

“Hmph! Why don’t you tell me that you’re the Great Marshal instead?” asked Lacey sarcastically.

Zeke was speechless because she managed to hit right on the spot.

Zeke received a text from Olivia, his ex-classmate, the moment he got everything ready.

“Mr. Williams, I’ve already figured out the things you requested me to work on. Are you free at the moment?”

Zeke replied. “I am. Tell me, who was the one who broke Hudson’s leg?”

Olivia replied. “It’s a tyrant from the Hill village. His name is Jayden Hill.”
