NovelStartChapter 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 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 schhad been in motion for
years!
"I ask you, did you poisonin order to inherit the throne? Do you admit to this?!" Jennifer suppressed her anger, speaking on
behalf of the king.
Eden's psychological defenses completely collapsed. Amidst the thunder and lightning, he felt an overwhelming fear, not wanting
to be haunted by guilt every day!

Boom! The thunder roared!
"lI admit it!" He nodded vigorously, feeling incredibly anxious. "lI admit it, | admit... but I've realized my mistake. | believe in karma. |
know my fate won't be good. | dare not covet the throne anymore. Please rest in peace! | will burn offerings for you! | will assist
Louis, | 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 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 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, then laughed. It was a laugh filled with disbelief. "Are you all playing 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, | would not be doing right by my sister!" Eden
exploded. He raised his voice to bolster his own courage.
"Are you trying to makethe 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?"
