“Mom!” Alex came to the hospital and visited his mom again. She was awake at the time. His anger towards the Assexes dissolved as soon as he saw her.Examining Brittany with his knowledge of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, he noticed that she was doing a lot better than the day before. Relieved, Alex smiled widely and said, “I bought this porridge from a stall nearby. The doctor said that you could only eat soft foods as of now. I’ll feed you, alright?”Brittany stared at him lovingly, “Alex, I heard that you came to take care of me every day, you’re even more professional than the nurses now. I’m sorry that I’ve been such a burden on you.”Alex could feel his chest tightening. His mother was the absolute sweetest. His mother-in-law, Claire, however, only treated him as a slave.He fed the porridge slowly to Brittany, then gave all four of her limbs a massage.Brittany had been in a coma for more than six months, so her muscles had been slowly wasting away.However, Alex’s massagi
Claire was queuing up outside of the clinic with the other patients. She was at the very end of the line, currently talking to the woman next to her...“The legendary Dr. Coney is really something. I had to ask quite a few friends to help me get an appointment with him which I had to wait for another three months to happen.”“Yeah, I had to wait for more than three months too. Well I can’t complain, no doctor is better than him!”As she conversed, Claire felt someone approaching her and turned around. She frowned when she realized it was Alex. “Why are you here?”Alex greeted her out of habit, “Mum.”Claire exploded with anger, “What do you mean Mum? Who’s your Mum? Let me tell you something, you useless piece of sh*t. My daughter will soon divorce you and we’re cutting clean! Stop trying to crawl back to us! Heck, were you stalking me? You probably couldn’t find a place to stay, right? Are you going to beg me to take you back?”Alex shook his head and said, “Ma’am, don’t you wor
“Huh, what happened?”“A little girl! Her face is pale and bluish! She’s not breathing!”“This is terrifying… would Dr. Coney be able to save her?”The crowd started discussing among themselves, hoping for the best.Just then, a middle-aged man carried a five-year-old-girl into the room. He was crying hysterically, with panic written all over his face. With a loud thud, he knelt down.Cheryl immediately got into action. She briefly checked the little girl’s vitals.As she checked, her expression darkened. The little girl wasn’t breathing and had no pulse.Cheryl immediately started doing CPR, asking the middle-aged man as to what had happened.The man cried, “I don’t know, I… I was just paying at the counter. Then, my little girl just fainted behind me. She just fell unconscious.”James approached the little girl as well, he said, “Examine her throat.”Cheryl did as she was told, yet she didn’t find anything blocking the airway.James smacked the little girl’s back a few tim
“Huh?” Everyone stared at the little girl.Her eyelashes fluttered gently as she slowly opened her eyes.She actually woke up.Cheryl’s eyes widened, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.However, after waking up, the little girl felt extremely uncomfortable. She placed both of her hands on her neck area as if she was suffocating.“There’s something in her throat. It’s still stuck!” James said panickedly.“Let me handle this!” Alex said and pressed his hand against the little girl’s chest. He lightly poked on her chest again, as if he were playing a lute.Cheryl recognized this method. Alex had massaged his mother’s limbs the same.With a loud thud, Alex pressed down hard on the little girl’s chest. An object flew out of her mouth as she spat it out.It was a kumquat.The man suddenly remembered something and exclaimed. “It’s the mountain hawthorn. I bought some for Zoey a while ago. I thought she had finished it earlier. I didn’t think it…”Alex said, “It was stuck to
Alex had just left Ganoderma, walking at a slow pace.He thought, ‘Mom will be discharged in two days, but we lost our property. Plus, I was kicked out by Claire, so we won’t have a place to stay. Buying a property is my priority now.’But he also knew that his father had hidden Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s existence from his mother. He had heard this from Lex himself. ‘Should I tell her?’ He thought.He wouldn’t be able to use any of his funds if he didn’t give her a proper explanation.He decided to keep it a secret for now.Thousand Miles Conglomerate was involved with underworld work, so most people would view them as mafias or thugs. This could be the reason his father had hidden the conglomerate from his mother.It wouldn’t be wise to reveal the truth to her right now.‘Then… I’ll just get a small apartment. I’ll tell her the money came from my savings.’It was decided.Just as Alex was about to call a cab to go back to the hospital, Cheryl yelled out to him from behi
Alex’s expression turned colder. “Who sent you?”Scarface scoffed. “Do you really want to know? Kneel down and slap yourself then. If you give me a good show, I might consider telling you.”Alex nodded. “How about this? You kneel down and slap yourself a hundred times. Then, I might consider letting you off easy.”“What?” The thugs were confused as they thought they had heard wrong.Before arriving, they heard that this guy was a good for nothing bloke. He wasn’t even allowed to be intimate with his own wife and he had to slave away for his mother-in-law.How could someone as worthless as him dare to say such words to them?Was he out of his mind?“You’ve got some guts, I’d give you that you brat. Looks like you’re going to have to say goodbye to your lower half and your arms!” Scarface smirked cockily, raising the bat above his head, about to smash Alex’s legs.There was a loud thud followed by cracking.The wooden bat smashed right into Alex’s shin and into two halves from t
During the Assexes’ annual celebration, Spark was incredibly shocked that Lord Lex Gunther from Thousand Miles Conglomerate had stood up for Alex. He couldn’t understand why Lord Lex would ever help a useless piece of shit like Alex.If Lex ever wanted to beat up his grandfather, Bill Rockefeller, all Spark would be able to do was watch. He wouldn’t ever dare to show any signs of vengeance. That would mean that he wouldn’t be able to seek revenge on Alex for breaking his arm.Besides, Rockefeller Group was still worried about Thousand Miles Conglomerate seeking vengeance against them as well.However, he later found out that Lex owed William a favor. Now that he paid back the favor, he no longer owed the Rockefellers anything. Moreover, Alex had tried calling Lex once, yet he ended up being yelled at and threatened.Spark had nothing to fear then!So, he immediately hired some people to deal with Alex.Ring ring ring...At that moment, a young model was massaging Spark in a cl
The punch was filled with a strong flow of Chi. It would damage Spark’s reproductive organs over time and in just a month, he would lose his ability to engage in sexual intercourse completely.Alex left the rundown house and met up with Cheryl, who was waiting in the restaurant. They were going to have lunch together.Before dealing with Spark, Alex had asked Cheryl to order some food and wait for him.As he watched Alex walk away, Spark chided Scarface, “F*ck! Scarface, you scammer! I agreed to pay you so much money, and you’re trying to scam me? Didn’t you say you were the best fighter in Teal Street? How are you the best if you can’t even deal with a mere boy toy?”With a fractured shin, Scarface was just as angry. “How dare you f*cking scold me? You said he was a weakling! But he was strong and his movements were swift too. He could tear you into pieces with one arm! You know what? I, Scarface, wouldn’t just leave it this way. My big sister will be back in two days. We’ll deal
