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 planning toconfess? Was he intending to escape punishment? Had he not graspedthe severity of the situation?

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

The king's illness was actually caused by Eden! He was the one behindthe poisoning! And this scheme had been in motion for years!

"I ask you, did you poison me in order to inherit the throne? Do youadmit to this?!" Jennifer suppressed her anger, speaking on behalf ofthe king.

Eden's psychological defenses completely collapsed. Amidst thethunder and lightning, he felt an overwhelming fear, not wanting to behaunted 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 myfate won't be good. I dare not covet the throne anymore. Please rest inpeace! I will burn offerings for you! I will assist Louis, I will mend myways! Please depart in peace!"

At this point, the king, unable to endure any longer, felt his bloodpressure skyrocket. The person he trusted the most had indeedharmed 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, appearingin the bedroom.

Under the illumination of lightning, Eden once again saw him. Initiallytrembling in fear, he then steadied himself.

"Are you human or ghost?!" Eden's guard went up, at times staunchlybelieving in a godless world, and at times, being frightened out of hiswits.

"Eden, you truly astonish me," the king said coldly, fixing a piercinggaze upon him. "You... have spun such a long yarn." Then, unable tocontain himself, he began to cough softly.

This left Eden somewhat bewildered. How had his demeanor changedso drastically from just a moment ago?

Rumble!

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

A thought flashed 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 faceinscrutable, 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'sface, which made him quickly halt his steps!

Rowan stared at him with an intense gaze.

Eden paused for a moment, then laughed. It was a laugh filled withdisbelief. "Are you all playing a joke on me? How could there beghosts?!"

“Louie, as a mere doctor, can you tell if he's been poisoned?" Edenexpressed doubt, unafraid. "Whose side are you on? Is he still yourfather? 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. Heraised his voice to bolster his own courage.

"Are you trying to make me the king?" Rowan's tone was calm, hittingthe nail on the head with his question. "Or do you just hope to take thatposition for yourself?"
