Chapter 232
After such a thought, she felt slightly embarrassed. Alex was a married man after all.Alex chuckled. “Oh don’t joke with me, Mr. Yoke. I’m married.”Wallace replied, “So what if you’re married? You can always get a divorce, right? And if you can’t, you can change your nationality to become Arabian. I have connections to help with that.”Both Alex and Cheryl fell silent.‘This old man is such a jester.’Within just a few moments, they arrived at the patients’ ward.Since all of these patients were filed as special cases, they were all placed together in one ward. This was more convenient for the medics responsible for their checkups.The first patient that they saw was a petite young girl.Next to her was her mother. Her mother’s eyes were red, she seemed to be on the edge of a mental breakdown. Who wouldn’t treasure their children? Having her daughter fall victim to such disaster, she felt as if the world was collapsing in front of her eyes. “Her name is Rose Carson, a stude

“She’s alive, she’s revived! She’s actually revived!”“How did he do it? This doctor is amazing! I thought she was dead for sure!” The family of other patients rushed over as soon as Rose’s heart started beating again. They pointed, and hush chattering quickly surrounded her bed.Cheryl stopped them. “Please be quiet and give the patient some space.”Alex was able to sense the culprit within Rose’s body, an extremely odd and hidden deadly Chi.It was this flow of deadly Chi that was destroying her body little by little. Her body was already weak as she was drained of Yin, and this flow of Chi had pulled her into the depths of hell.Cheryl could tell that Alex’s expression was grim, as she quickly asked, “What wrong? Did you figure something out? Can she be cured despite her condition?”Alex, however, didn’t answer any of her questions. He replied with another question instead. “Have the cops arrested the culprit?”Cheryl shook her head. “I don’t think so.”Wallace added. “I hea

However, some of them were only there to see Alex go down with humiliation, especially Clarence. After being slapped by Wallace, he couldn’t hold in his anger.“That Rockefeller guy must be a liar. He’s really skilled in his tricks. I have no idea how he managed to trick Mr. Yoke.” He said, visibly annoyed. He walked over to the two middle-aged men who came with Wallace and asked, “Do you know anything about that guy?”The two men were Wallace’s apprentices, and they were just as confused as well, as they have never seen Alex before. On the contrary, their master had always treated them harshly, supposedly as part of the training. Yet here he was, showing such adoration toward a young man, and they found it unacceptable.One of them shook their heads. “This is the first time we’re meeting him. We didn’t know that our country had such a young, capable expert.”Clarence said, “Then I was right. This guy must have used some sort of trick and fooled Mr. Yoke. He could've used voodoo fo

Just then, Dorothy could feel every ounce of energy in her body draining away as her heart ran cold. She was so upset at that moment that tears instantly welled up in her eyes.She had wanted to give herself away to the man. She even wanted to pin him down and go on top of him. She had imagined so many different scenarios in her head. Yet, she didn’t think that the man would lie to her and be with some other woman.Dorothy wanted to hang up and block his contact right there and then. They wouldn’t have to see each other ever again and live their separate lives from then on.Even so, her heart ached so much. She felt like she was suffocating.Tears trickled down her cheeks.“What is he doing?” Dorothy asked without thinking. She felt stupid after asking such a question. ‘What else could he be doing, for a woman to answer his phone at night? It was obvious that they had just done the deed!’However, Cheryl replied, “He’s doing his duty as a doctor. Do you need anything? If not, I

“Uhm, doctor, are you sure that he’s not treating the patient?” a middle-aged man asked.He was the father of one of the victims. His daughter was the last one to receive Alex’s treatment. Hence the deadly Chi within her was yet to be removed. Everyone else’s bodies had been cleared of the Chi except for her.Clarence looked determined. “I’m sure of it, I swear on my life!”The man already had doubts about Alex. ‘How could such a young man be so skilled?’He turned to Alex and said, “My daughter doesn’t need your help. I could already tell that this was no treatment. You’re obviously just trying to molest her. You’re disgusting.”Alex’s gaze turned cold. “Are you sure? If your daughter doesn’t receive treatment now, her life would be at risk.”The man was stern. “I’m very sure. Don’t you dare curse my daughter. She doesn’t need a liar like you to save her.”Alex shrugged, nodded, and left immediately.Since he was just here to help Cheryl out, providing treatment was just out o

Dorothy stood at the door, staring at the two. Her cold expression pierced Alex’s heart, and he was terrified.She then turned around and left without a word.“Dorothy! Dorothy!” Alex immediately chased after her, disappearing from the office.Cheryl walked to the door, watching Alex run off down the halls. She touched her face, blaming herself, slightly regretting her actions. However, she was relieved after putting some thought into it...‘It’s better if they get a divorce. Since they don’t love each other, they shouldn’t cause each other any more pain. If you don’t know how to cherish this man, then I would!’She waltzed back into her office, still eating her ice cream and thinking about the kiss. Her face flushed once more. ‘I was so bold!’“Dorothy, please, let me explain!” Alex rushed out of the hospital and grabbed Dorothy’s hand.Dorothy turned around and slapped Alex across his face. The slap was loud and crisp. “What is there to explain? I saw it with my own eyes. I ca

The woman was squirming, trying to take off her clothes. Her jacket was already off at that point in time, and her foxy figure could be seen under the dim moonlight.They seemed to be in the middle of something.Dorothy was slightly taken aback. She apologized and turned around to leave. She thought she wouldn’t get into trouble if she quickly walked away and pretended like nothing happened. However, the man in black rushed towards her and blocked her way.“Where are you going?” The man stared at Dorothy intently. His eyes lit up.With just a whiff, he could smell the fragrant scent of perfume on her body too.This was the effort that Dorothy had put in for Alex, and she had on a rather sexy dress too. Everything that she had done to impress Alex was now the main cause of her getting into trouble.She could tell that the man was up to no good. Backing away, she asked in a quivering voice, “What… what are you trying to do?”The man cackled. “It’s night time. What else would I be

Alex laid his eyes on Anne’s body for a few seconds.After averting his gaze, he couldn’t help but take another glance, fixating his eye on her for a few more seconds.‘This is too much for the eyes!’She looked even sexier compared to when she was wearing a bikini.At that moment, the man in black was able to see Alex’s face clearly. He realized that he was just an average person and didn’t seem to radiate a fighter’s aura. Relieved, he spat on the ground and said, “F*ck, I thought it was someone from Divine Constabulary again. I didn’t expect a weakling. Who the f*ck are you, huh? How dare you try to butt into someone else’s business?”He walked closer to Alex.The man had decided to kill this insensible fool with a single slap and throw him into the river to feed the fishes.Alex stepped in closer as well, as his gaze laid upon Dorothy. He said softly, “I’m her husband.”“Huh?” The man in black froze and immediately burst out with laughter. “And I was wondering who the hell
