Chapter 1740: The King Steps Forward
"No...!" Eden panicked, he wanted to escape, but as soon as he turned around, he accidentally bumped into the corner of the table!
The burly body was tripped at the edge of the bed, "No...brother! Brother! I was wrong! Please spare me!! I didn’t mean it, I was wrong!! I really know I was wrong!"
He kept apologizing, but in his heart, he thought, he absolutely cannot die! He still has to be the King of Lorelei!
"Do you admit it?"
"I admit, I admit, but I didn’t mean it, I really didn’t mean it..."
"Eden, why did you poison me then?" Mia Lane changed her tone, turning into the King’s voice.
Eden’s face instantly turned pale! His heart almost jumped out! His whole body felt numb!
The King!
It’s the King!!
He tried several times to stand while leaning against the bed, but couldn’t get up; his sharp gaze swept around like knives, but he couldn’t see anything clearly!
Until the lightning brightened the room!
He could only see the curtain flapping in the wind and the pages of the book being blown open, not seeing any figure.
Julie also inexplicably began to feel nervous because of the King’s state...how can someone speak with such presence? This is clearly a good person, is the illness just an act?
"Eden, it’s not auditory hallucination, it’s me, it’s me! Have you forgotten everything you did to me?"
"..." Eden’s face turned white with fright.
"You want to sit on the throne, don’t you? Hahaha, so you’ve been poisoning me since a few years ago?" Mia Lane’s tone was calm and unhurried.
The more composed the ’King’ was, the more fear Eden felt; he thought this voice was unnerving—the breath too steady.
"Eden..." Mia Lane called again, still using the King’s voice.
"No...!" Eden’s heartbeat was in his throat, and he suddenly felt a splitting headache, "Who are you?! Come out!!" How can the King’s mental state be so good?
Who exactly is the trickster??
"Who are you? Who exactly are you??" Eden forced himself to calm down, telling himself there were no ghosts in this world!
Moreover, the King isn’t dead yet!!
Hence, he used all his strength to stand up by supporting the bed, even though his legs were still weak, making himself appear unfazed!
"Come out!!" He began to shout, seeing no one answered him, Eden couldn’t help but muster up boldness, "Come out! Who the hell is pranking me!"
At this moment, the King slowly stood up from the chair, supporting himself on a cane, in the lightning and thunder, under the flickering light, he stepped forward step by step.
Even though his health was bad, he’s been taking antidotes on time recently, so he wasn’t bedridden.
Hearing the footsteps, Eden focused and looked, and when the lightning lit up, he saw the King’s face!
In an instant, Eden was so scared that he widened his eyes and fell back onto the bed!
While the King remained standing a short distance away, he didn’t approach him because his son had instructed that they must maintain a safe distance.
Ian Shelby’s gaze was always on his father, watching over him!
"Eden, do you think this is a prank?" Mia Lane spoke again, still using the King’s voice, the tone full of vigor, spirited, not at all like someone who is ill, with a hint of interrogation.
This state scared Eden completely dumbfounded!
Is the illness just an act??
"You’ve been poisoning me for at least five years, indeed you’ve gone to great lengths!"
"Eden, you want to sit on the throne, you want to be King, you want to rule the whole of Lorelei, isn’t that so?!"
"Who are you?!" Eden couldn’t believely stared at him, raising his voice, "You’re not the King! The King has been poisoned to the brink of death, who exactly are you?!"
