Chapter 1742: Are You Human Or Ghost?


    Chapter 1742: Are You Human or Ghost?


    Upon hearing these words, the king, seated on the chair, was furious, fuming with anger.


    Rowan, too, was brimming with rage. This was simply outrageous!


    He still wanted to make amends for his deeds? Was he not nning to confess? Was he intending to


    escape punishment? Had he not grasped the severity of the situation?


    Jolie, hidden behind the curtains, was not just shocked but utterly astounded!


    The king''s illness was actually caused by Eden! He was the one behind the poisoning! And this


    scheme had been in motion for years!


    "I ask you, did you poison me in order to inherit the throne? Do you admit to this?!" Jennifer


    suppressed her anger, speaking on behalf of the king.


    Eden''s psychological defensespletely copsed. Amidst the thunder and lightning, he felt an


    overwhelming fear, not wanting to be haunted by guilt every day!


    Boom! The thunder roared!


    "I admit it!" He nodded vigorously, feeling incredibly anxious. "I admit it, I admit... but I''ve realized my


    mistake. I believe in karma. I know my fate won''t be good. I dare not covet the throne anymore. Please


    rest in peace! I will burn offerings for you! I will assist Louis, I will mend my ways! Please depart in


    peace!"


    At this point, the king, unable to endure any longer, felt his blood pressure skyrocket. The person he


    trusted the most had indeed harmed him!


    This was an injury not only to his body but also to his soul!


    The king rose, leaning on his cane, and moved step by step, appearing in the bedroom.


    Under the illumination of lightning, Eden once again saw him. Initially trembling in fear, he then


    steadied himself.


    "Are you human or ghost?!" Eden''s guard went up, at times staunchly believing in a godless world, and


    at times, being frightened out of his wits.


    "Eden, you truly astonish me," the king said coldly, fixing a piercing gaze upon him. "You... have spun


    such a long yarn." Then, unable to contain himself, he began to cough softly.


    This left Eden somewhat bewildered. How had his demeanor changed so drastically from just a


    moment ago?


    Rumble!


    Another round of jarring thunder and lightning, and Eden finally saw the king''s ailing face clearly!


    A thought shed through his mind - this is a person! Not a ghost!


    Instantly, Eden felt less afraid again. There are no ghosts in this world!


    He stood up, advancing toward the king, not uttering a word, his face inscrutable, leaving everyone


    wondering what he was thinking.


    Meanwhile, the king''s expression grew even graver, meeting his gaze, eager to see what he would do!

    "Uncle...?" With each step forward, he tried to call out his name.


    "Uncle."


    Rowan appeared out of nowhere, directly blocking the king!


    Under the lightning''s illumination, Eden got a clear look at his nephew''s face, which made him quickly


    halt his steps!


    Rowan stared at him with an intense gaze.


    Eden paused for a moment, thenughed. It was augh filled with disbelief. "Are you all ying a joke


    on me? How could there be ghosts?!"


    "Louie, as a mere doctor, can you tell if he''s been poisoned?" Eden expressed doubt, unafraid. "Whose


    side are you on? Is he still your father? He''s already remarried and has a child with someone else!


    Soon, he''ll forget about your mother entirely!"


    He was clever, aiming at Rowan''s sore spots.


    "Louie, wake up! The throne can only be yours! It must be yours! Otherwise, I would not be doing right


    by my sister!" Eden exploded. He raised his voice to bolster his own courage.


    "Are you trying to make me the king?" Rowan''s tone was calm, hitting the nail on the head with his


    question. "Or do you just hope to take that position for yourself?"
