Hearing Cheryl’s distressed cries, Alex felt a stab of inexplicable pain in his heart and quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t cry, tell me. I’m here for you, no matter what it is.” Cheryl sobbed. “Grandpa… got into an accident…”“What? Is it serious?”“Yes… the operation is underway, but the doctor just came out and said that the situation is not looking good. He just gave me the critical illness notice for me to sign so that I would be mentally prepared. I’m so afraid… can you come over?”She continued crying.Alex could completely relate to the situation she was going through right now.When the doctor had told him that his mother only had five days of her life left, it felt like the ground had split open beneath him; like his entire world had completely collapsed. “Which hospital are you at?”“California Main Hospital!”“Alright. I’m in Michigan right now, I’ll head over right away.”Alex hung up the call and informed Brittany immediately before taking the car keys and r

Alex had seen someone chasing him from behind, but he ignored it. The only thing on his mind was to get to the hospital as fast as possible. On the highway signboard, his license plate was listed under the speeding list.Screech!A journey that should have taken an hour and a half had been cut down to just thirty-five minutes.Incredible.California Main Hospital was a local hospital that had research collaborations with other foreign hospitals. It’s an extremely high-end aristocratic first-class hospital in California. Most of the people who came here for treatment were wealthy people.Other hospitals would charge fifteen dollars for a common cold, but California Main Hospital would charge three thousand dollars. The registration fee alone costs two thousand dollars.“Cheryl!”Alex arrived outside the operating room and caught sight of Cheryl fidgeting restlessly.She looked terrible. The moment she saw Alex, she rushed towards him, throwing herself into his arms. She crie

Alex had already mastered his Foundation Establishment. His ability to utilize the Ultimate Book of Medicine had also improved and developed accordingly. Thus, Andrew’s words had made him very angry. Though Alex may not be a traditional doctor, this foreigner actually said that traditional medicine—which had been passed down for thousands of years—was a sham. He also compared it to Korean medicine, further insulting traditional medicine.It was absolutely unacceptable.Condensed Chi gathered at his fingers through the Force, flowing into James’ body continuously.One of the other doctors looked on in confusion and asked, “What the heck is he doing?”Andrew glanced at Cheryl, before replying in broken English, “Putting on a show.”As Alex continued to transfer his Chi, he watched the heart monitor connected to James as it indicated that his condition was steadily improving—his physical condition was recovering at an incredible speed.This was unexplainable.Finally, Alex retr

James Coney’s name was well known in California. So when security heard it and saw how the other doctors in the room weren’t making any moves, they didn’t take any further action either. As for James, he suddenly grabbed Alex’s hand. “Alex, this old man’s life won’t last long, and I will probably die soon. Before I go, can I ask you for a promise?”Alex was startled. “Grandpa, you won’t die.” James ignored his words, clinging onto him. “You have to promise me, otherwise I won’t be able to go in peace.”Alex studied his complexion carefully, and was convinced that he hadn’t made any mistake. He said helplessly, “Grandpa, you really won’t be dying. I guarantee it.”Who would have thought that James would ignore him again and shouted, “I won’t go in peace, if you don’t promise me! I won’t be able to go in peace!”Cheryl felt her heart break when she watched the scene in front of her. “Alex, just promise him!” Alex was dismayed. “I don’t even know what it is!”James continued to

Alex’s medical skills were different from ordinary ones. The Ultimate Book of Medicine wasn’t one for the mere mortals after all. It was a medical library targeted towards martial artists and their masters—it had all kinds of unpredictable, formidable powers. As the wielder of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, treating an ordinary person would only demonstrate a small portion of his impressive powers.Therefore, he was definitely qualified to make such claims.Under everyone’s stunned gaze, Alex picked up a scalpel and slashed open James’ palm.“Oh my god!” Andrew screamed as he clutched his head. “What are you doing?! Didn’t you say you were going to treat Mr. Coney’s legs? Why did you cut his hand? What is the point of this? Is this what you call in traditional medicine—to treat the foot when you have a headache, and the hand when your leg hurts? Going for the root cause instead of the symptoms?”Alex calmly said, “Stay calm, don’t get impatient.”He quickly took out about fifty

As for Alex, he was a little tired and felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. His Chi had been consumed too quickly. Using the talisman skills with his current foundation was really pushing it too far. However, the effect was still worth it. Andrew, who clearly believed in God, was kneeling down in front of and worshipping him. “Good gosh, this must be the work of God.”James had already stepped off the operating table and was standing on the ground, even hopping around on his feet.Alex turned to Andrew and said, “This is not the work of God. This is the miracle of traditional medicine. Traditional medical skills are broad and profound, and they have been passed down for thousands of years. Traditional medicine has all kinds of mysterious and unpredictable abilities. However, there are many who use its name to gain fame and fortune, even scamming others under the guise of being a traditional doctor. That’s why the world misunderstands what it is. So, since you’ve los

Cheryl felt all the blood in her body rush to her brain as she felt increasingly dizzy. Her face felt like it was on fire. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.“Don’t sniff anymore!” She screamed, covering Alex’s nose and mouth with her hands. The touch became more intimate than that, and Cheryl felt a throb she never did before. Her beautiful eyes quivered and rimmed red from embarrassment. She felt like a tomato that could explode at any moment. Alex secretly scolded himself for being so stupid. What the heck did he say that for?He quickly got up and tried to find an excuse for his behavior. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to disrespect you. I just… oh, yeah, didn’t I say that I could help you treat your dysmenorrhea?”Cheryl had indeed felt that her cramps today were particularly painful, mainly because it was the first day of her period, and also perhaps due to the fright that she had got previously.“How will you treat it?” She blinked. In the small, crowded back

Moreover, the ninja from Japan who had killed Pepper was likely to come for him. It was more convenient for him to act alone anyway. In addition, there were many things for him to settle in California. He gave Dorothy a call. Dorothy was obviously happy when she knew that Alex had returned to California. The two agreed to meet at the lobby of the company to go for dinner together. The married couple met up at 5 P.M. in the evening. Alex’s brows furrowed when he looked at her. “Why do you look more dispirited than usual, and your complexion looks bad too. What have you been doing recently? Did the old lady from the Assex family cause trouble again, as if she has all the time in the world?”Dorothy closed her eyes and said, “No, that’s not it. It’s just that I’ve recently signed a contract with Waylon Realty, with Charles. You’re also aware that with my company’s current capabilities, we simply can’t handle the amount that we need to supply to them so suddenly. I had to seek o
