Chapter 1742: Are You Human or Ghost?
Upon hearing these words, the King sitting on the stool was almost steaming with rage!
Ian Shelby was also boiling with anger! This was simply madness!
Does he still want to redeem himself? Does he not intend to plead guilty? Does he still want to cling to life? Has he not realized the severity of the situation?
Julie, hiding behind the curtains, was utterly shocked!
The King’s illness was actually Eden’s doing! He had poisoned him! Moreover, he had been plotting this for years!
"I ask you, you wanted to inherit the throne, so you poisoned me, do you admit to this?!" Mia Lane suppressed her fury, asking in place of the King.
Eden’s psychological defenses completely collapsed, amidst the thunder and lightning, he felt immense fear, not wanting to be haunted by ghosts every day!
Boom!! Thunder roared!
"I admit!" He nodded like a pecking chicken, his heart flustered, "I admit, I admit... But I already know I’m wrong, I believe in cause and effect, my end won’t be good, I dare not harbor any thoughts of the throne, I beg you to rest in peace! Rest in peace! I will burn paper offerings for you! I will assist Louis, I will correct my mistakes! You can depart peacefully!"
By this time, even the King couldn’t bear it, his blood pressure soared, the person he trusted the most had indeed poisoned him!
This hurt not just his body, but also his soul!
The King stood up, then with a walking stick, step by step walked forward, appearing in the bedroom.
Under the illumination of the lightning, Eden saw him again, "..." First he shuddered in fright, then steadied his nerves.
"Are you human or ghost?!" Eden raised his guard, sometimes firmly believing in the absence of gods and ghosts, sometimes scared out of his wits.
"Eden, you really surprise me." The King was very disheartened, leaning on his cane, staring deeply at him, "You actually... drew such a long bow." Then he couldn’t help but cough softly.
This left Eden a bit confused, why was his state completely different from just now?
Rumble!
Another ear-piercing flash of lightning and thunder let Eden clearly see the King’s sickly face!
A sudden thought flashed through his mind—this is human! Not a ghost!
Thus, Eden instantly felt less afraid, there are no ghosts in this world!
He stood up, step by step walked towards the King, saying nothing, his face expressionless, no one knew what he was thinking.
And the King’s face grew darker, meeting his gaze, wanting to see what he would do after all!
"King...?" Step by step, he approached, trying to call his name.
"Uncle."
Ian Shelby appeared out of nowhere, directly standing in front of the King!
The lightning flashed in, Eden saw clearly his nephew’s face, and was so scared he quickly halted!
Ian Shelby stared deeply at him.
Eden paused for a while, then laughed, he laughed aloud, "Are you playing a trick on me? There’s no such thing as a ghost?!"
"Louis, you’re just a small doctor, can you tell he’s been poisoned?"
Eden had doubts, he wasn’t scared at all, "On which side do you stand? Is he still your father? He’s already remarried and has kids with someone else! He soon discarded your mother!"
He was smart, hitting Ian Shelby’s sore spot.
"Louis, wake up! The throne can only be yours! It must be yours! Otherwise, I’m failing my sister!" Eden burst out! He raised his voice to give himself courage.
"Do you want me to become King?" Ian Shelby asked mildly, hitting the nail on the head, "Or do you more hope to take this position yourself?"
