Ch. 311..320

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 311

Hailey Lawson!

The woman who slept in the same bed with him turned out to be Hailey. For an instant, Alex felt like he had been struck by lightning. The extreme grief he felt made him want to cry, but the tears just wouldn’t come.

“How could this be?”

If it had been someone else such as Maya, he could have still accepted it and not feel like his entire world had come crashing down like this. Why did it have to be Hailey?

If Charles were to see this, he would definitely have him killed.

But he clearly remembered that after the dinner last night was over, the few of them had found a hotel nearby to stay. He should have slept alone… Right?

Alex quickly ran his hands down his body and his world began to crash down even harder.

He was done for. He crept up slowly.

But just at this moment, Hailey awakened with a soft hum. It was unclear whether it’s a habit of her or not, but she lifted one leg up and pressed Alex down, before pullng him in for a hug as her eyes remained close.

Alex’s brain was abuzz.

Even if he had mastered Foundation Establishment, and it was difficult for him to get hurt in fights, he was completely helpless in these kinds of situations. He was at a complete loss for what to do.

In the next moment, two pairs of eyes met.

Hailey was obviously confused for a while.

“I must be dreaming!”

She closed her eyes, then opened them again.

It wasn’t a dream.

“I… Could it be that I sleep walked again?”

Alex shook his head, how would he know? He didn’t even remember how he ended up sleeping with her. Drinking had really botched things up!

Hailey was someone who had experienced being in this kind of situation before, and was able to collect herself quickly. She chuckled and pinched him hard, saying, “I’ll let you off this time. Don’t tell anyone else.”

She tossed the quilt aside, and got up.

She was still fully dressed, and her clothes were neat though there were just some wrinkles on it.

“F*ck, it was just a false alarm.”

Alex took one glance, then he was suddenly vigorous and lively again.

Hailey was tidying up her messy hair with both hands when she looked at him teasingly. “Did you want it to be real? Gosh, look at how pale you’ve turned. What a coward.”

Her memory was coming back to her now.

Everyone had drank too much last night, and she was the one who had helped Alex into the room. Then, it seemed that after she had used the toilet and took a call, she fell asleep in bed with him in a daze.

At this moment, a knock came on the door of the room.

“Alex, are you awake?”

It was Brittany.

“What do we do?” She mouthed to Alex.

Alex looked around, then quickly pointed to the wardrobe.

The bathroom wasn’t a very safe place to hide, and people usually wouldn’t open a wardrobe in a hotel.

Hailey trotted over bare footed, but the wardrobe was a bit tall and only the top part could be used as a hiding place. Alex quickly picked her up and hid her. Once she was hidden, he checked once more before opening the door for Brittany.

“Mom, you’re up so early?” Alex said as he put on his clothes.

Brittany said, “It’s not early anymore, it’s almost 9 AM. I drank too much last night, I can’t do it again.”

Then she asked, “Where’s Hailey? Have you seen her? That’s weird, she should have been sleeping with me in the same room, but I haven’t seen her.”

“She… I don’t know. Could she have gone out?” Alex replied, feeling a hint of guilt.

As for Hailey who was hidden in the wardrobe, she was dumbfounded. Being forced to hide in the wardrobe like this felt like she had done something shameful.

Fortunately, Alex managed to convince Brittany to leave, and she was able to get away.

It was easier to handle the aftermath just find a random excuse to muddle through.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 312

Afternoon, after a meal.

Hailey had managed to successfully avoid suspicion and was getting ready to drive back alone to California. California was actually close by, an hour and a half journey by car.

Before leaving, Hailey grabbed Alex and said, “Stinking brat, tell me honestly, did you touch me last night?”

Alex was disheveled for a moment. “Sister, I really didn’t. Weren’t your clothes all neat?”

“Hmph. Who knows? You could have straightened up my clothes after you did it. Anyway, if I get pregnant, you’ll have to take responsibility.”

“What?”

Vroom!

The car started and Hailey sped away in her Mercedes Benz.

Hailey sniggered as she observed Alex’s expression in the rearview mirror. “Let’s see how scared you get!”

Then, she rubbed her chest where her heart was. “Stinking brat, how sneaky. It hurts!

The next week.

Belle Blossom, the skin care product assembly factory was changing at a rapid pace. Money is good as long as you have enough of it, you can accomplish anything, you would be able to see success.

Soon, Nicholas Hudson and Chloe Zea also came to report.

In the Research and Development Center, Brittany and Maya have also made a sample of a new anti-freckle cream.

“This is the new anti-freckle cream that your dad and I have nailed down before the car accident,” Madame Brittany said. She was pleased and obviously had great hopes for it. “The formula for the Bounty Acne Cream was actually obtained by accident from an ancient relic. It was an ancient royal prescription and produced excellent results!”

“However, our current formula uses the original one as a base with a few improvements. Now, its efficacy has increased by 20%.”

“With this, I’m confident we can beat the Rockefeller family.”

Alex took the sample box and gave it a whiff. Very quickly, he could tell what kind of medicinal ingredients had been used in it. It was also clear to him the benefits of each ingredient used.

Alex shook his head. “Mom, it would still be difficult to beat the Rockefeller family, especially since it’s only a 20% increase in efficacy. If you’re really planning to achieve it in 3 months, the chances are not looking good.”

Brittany smiled. “What if I told you that our new cream would also be able to remove the residual effects of the original Bounty Acne Cream?”

“What?!”

“There’s a residual effect from using Bounty Acne Cream. It can remove freckles, but it leaves behind some no-so-obvious white spots. Although they aren’t obvious, they can still be seen on your face if you look closer. However, my cream will be able to remove those white spots.”

Alex smiled. “So it seems that you’re already well prepared with an ace up your sleeves, Mom.” After a pause, he said, “Then, let me give you another hidden card.”

He quicldy took out a piece of paper and scribbled a formula on it.

Brittany looked at him, stunned.

“Alex, you… Have you seen my new formula before?”

The formula that Alex wrote was almost exactly the same as the one she currently used, except that the amount of some of the ingredients had been reduced, and a herb had been added. However, she was sure that her son had never laid eyes on the formula before.

So, how did he know?

Alex smiled and shook his head. “Mom, if you try this formula, you may get some unexpected results.”

Brittany was puzzled, yet surprised. “This is…”

“Just match it up together and do a test, you’ll find out soon enough.” Alex didn’t give her a direct answer. No matter what he said, it would not be as convincing as witnessing the results of the actual test.

After pondering for a moment, Alex picked up another piece of paper.

He wrote a completely different formula and handed it over to Brittany with a smile. “Mom, I’ll give this one to you too. Since we’re going to launch a sneak attack in this war, we must make sure to do so brilliantly and completely overtake them! We’ll create a bigger and greater Rockefeller Group, and create an even bigger legend than before.”

He had promised Claire that he would make Dorothy the richest woman in California before they were to have children. He couldn’t possibly wait ten or more years for that, right?

The Ultimate Book of Medicine was all encompassing, containing many extraordinary methods. He could easily extract many more medicinal formulae like the ones he had just written down. However, it was not good to be too greedy. Quality over quantity, two types were good enough.

When Brittany heard his words, there was a bright glint in her eyes.

Just then, Alex’s phone started to ring.

He saw that it was Cheryl calling. Her helpless cries came through as soon as he answered, “Alex, where are you?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 313

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 rushing out.

“Alex, be careful on the roads!”

“I got it!”

As soon as he rushed out of the R&D Center, he ran into Holly who was watching cartoons on her tablet.

“Brother, where are you going in such a hurry?” she asked cutely.

The two had gotten closer after the seven days. One was partly because Alex deliberately coaxed her. Secondly, because the little girl had asked Alex for her to call him so. After all, they were both practitioners of the same arts and spoke a common language. She naturally acknowledged him as an elder brother.

“I have urgent business to attend to in California!”

“Hey, bring me along, please?”

“You’re the head of security, how can you leave? I’m entrusting my mother’s safety to you. In return, I’ll help you find some medicine for your injuries. Be good!”

There were scoundrels working in the factory after all, so he couldn’t help but worry if Holly wasn’t around. With her presence, his mother would be a lot safer.

Alex reached out to touch her smooth nose, then immediately jumped into the car, not daring to waste anymore time. He slammed the pedal down, racing the car towards California at full throttle as the engines roared.

The car sped through the roads, continuously accelerating.

One hundred and two kilometers per hour!

One hundred and five kilometers per hour!

One hundred and nine kilometers per hour!

“D*mn, who the heck was that? Driving a banged up Mercedes as if he’s in an F1 race. He even dared to overtake my Lamborghini! How disrespectful!” cursed a long haired young man driving a white Lamborghini.

He immediately slammed the pedal down hard, speeding up and chasing after Alex like a mad man. There was another man sitting beside him.

He had closed his eyes to rest. He opened one eye slightly before closing it again as he lazily said, “You don’t even know the person, and he’s probably just a country bumpkin. Why do you even bother to chase after him?”

The long haired man didn’t listen to his words, and continued his wild chase. “Boss, I’m only willing to let my sister-in-law, Michelle Yowell, beat me in street racing. I won’t lose to anyone else who wants to step on my head, otherwise, wouldn’t my title, the Drift King, lose its worth?”

“Do as you please!”

Hearing the name Michelle, the youth in the passenger seat smiled slightly. “Oh, Michelle. I haven’t seen her for three years. She should have changed a lot, right?”

The passenger was the eldest son from the Pattingson family, Scott Pattingson, who has a marriage contract with Michelle. He had come from Imperial Capital.

The long haired youth said, “She’s changed a lot. The last time I saw her, she was the campus belle in California University. Oh, and that chest… Ahem. I mean, I’m not interested in her at all though.”

As he spoke, he continued his wild chase.

But immediately after that, he cried out in confusion, “Is that guy a lunatic? He dared to cut into such a small space?! What speed is he driving at?!”

He looked at his own speed meter and saw that it was already at two hundred and three.

The other person was going faster than him. What a deathly speed!

A large truck in front of him was blocking the road, so he had to brake, discontinuing his chase.

“It’s a California license plate. I’ll remember it! He better hope I won’t find him again,” he said angrily.

Scott was indifferent as he said, “You’re just making trouble for yourself.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 314

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 cried softly, like a helpless little girl who was lost and unable to find her way home.

“What should I do, Alex?” she asked, her voice trembling.

Alex was about to comfort her, but he suddenly saw a figure float through the door of the operating room.

F*ck!

A huge shock came over Alex, because it was James’ soul that had floated out. He was still in a daze but his soul would completely dissipate if he didn’t return to his body soon.

Alex didn’t dare to drag his feet any longer.

He pushed Cheryl away, and grabbed James’ soul with one hand, using his Soul Shifting technique to forcibly restrain the soul in his hand. Then, he kicked the door to the operating room open forcefully.

Although it was extremely impolite to do so, it was a matter of life and death.

The foreign doctor who was trying to save James shouted. “Who are you? Get out! Get out of here immediately!” How could someone kick the door to the operating room so brazenly?”

But Alex paid him no attention.

He cleared away anything within a radius of two meters from him with his Chi and immediately slapped James’ forehead with his palm, slamming the soul right back into the body.

Then, he used his fingernails to make a cut on himself and dripped the blood on him to conduct Blood Lock. Everyone in the operating room was stunned. Then, they started yelling and screaming, someone even made a call to security.

Cheryl also ran in. Once she saw what was happening, she immediately said, “Mr. Andrew, please don’t do anything rash. This is my friend, a legendary doctor. He’s saving my grandfather.”

So, it turned out that Cheryl knew him.

The doctor named Andrew was an extremely talented and intelligent doctor that had come from Switzerland. That was also the reason he and his team had come to this hospital so urgently in order to save James.

“0h, no, no, no. He definitely isn’t a legendary doctor. He’s a pseudo-scientific witch doctor. His behavior is basically an insult to scientific medical treatments, even trampling on life itself. I will never allow him to make trouble here, this will affect my efforts in trying to save a life.” Andrew said heatedly.

He moved to pull Alex away, but the other wouldn’t budge at all.

“You can’t save him!”

Alex had already used the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell on James, and placed a blood energy pill in his mouth, getting ready to help James absorb it with his own Chi.

Andrew exclaimed vehemently. “Stop, stop! You witch doctor, what have you fed him?! Oh my god, you don’t even have any medical knowledge. You are going to kill him! You’re making him miss the best window of opportunity to save him. You are murdering a person!”

Just as he said that…

Beep!

The heart monitor started beating again.

Cheryl was overjoyed. “He’s alive, he’s alive! Grandpa is alive! That’s great! Andrew, you’ve seen it with your own eyes! Alex is a very talented traditional doctor. His medical skills are the best I’ve ever seen.”

Andrew scoffed. “You’re being deceived by him, Miss Coney! Your grandfather’s heartbeat has been restored only because of the CPR I performed previously, as well as the adrenaline that I injected. There is no such thing as traditional medicine in this world! All these so called traditional doctors are just cheap tricks… Oh, though Korean doctors may still be a little bit useful.”

Alex didn’t like any of those words that just came from Andrew’s mouth.

He coldly said, “I can use traditional methods to restore the patient’s heartbeat, make him healthy and be up and about within half an hour. Can you do it?”

Andrew waved his fists. “That’s impossible. It would already be a miracle for this patient to regain consciousness within three days. To make him jump up in half an hour… Well, unless you’re a god.”

Alex looked at him with a confident smile on his face. “Well, I’m sorry to break it to you, but I am your god.”

Having said that, he touched James’ forehead with his finger.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 315

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 retracted his hand and let out a long breath.

Cheryl immediately grabbed Alex’s hand. “How is it? Will my grandpa wake up?”

Alex looked at the tear-stained and worried face of the beautiful woman, and he couldn’t help but wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. “Don’t cry, it’s alright. Didn’t I say it already? Your grandfather will be awake and kicking in half an hour.”

“Hmph. Don’t count your eggs before they hatch. You can talk about it once he actually wakes up!” said one of the local doctors in the room disdainfully. Although he believed in traditional medicine, he didn’t believe that Alex was a master of one.

After all, his techniques using his blood to seal the soul and performing Thirteen Acupuncture of Hell were just superstitious and weren’t actually traditional medicine. He looked more like a sham who was trying to play god.

At this moment, the security rushed over.

“Who’s making trouble here? Even daring to kick open the operation room door. Are they tired of living?!” The head of the security was extremely angry to the point that his eyes had turned red, as if they could pop out at any time. He had been a security guard for many years in California Main Hospital and this was the first time he had encountered such a scene.

Cheryl hurriedly said, “It’s a misunderstanding. The patient is my grandfather, and this doctor saved him. He is someone who is passionate in saving lives.”

Alex was now a Divine Constabulary, which meant that he had the license to kill.

It was difficult to explain things that were too out of the ordinary, but kicking open an operating room door was a trivial matter. It wasn’t something to be concerned about.

“It’s actually not that hard to wake a patient up, you know?”

He reached out a hand and lightly flicked James’ head before snapping his fingers. Immediately, James’s eyes really did open.

“What?”

“How… how is this possible?”

“Could it be magic?”

Everyone started shouting and screaming, including Mr. Andrew from Switzerland.

“Grandpa, you’ve finally woken up! This is great!” Cheryl was so moved that she was about to throw herself at him, but was quickly caught by Alex.

“Cheryl, be careful. Your grandfather still has a lot of fractured bones.”

“Oh, right. I’m sorry.”

The security guards looked at each other, but their duty was to detain Alex who had destroyed lhe operating room door and interfered with the operation. Whatever compensation that needed to be paid should be paid. They should report to the police too, if needed.

James was furious when he heard what the security team had to say. “My *ss. Mr. Alex has great medical skills and extraordinary methods. If he didn’t come in to save me and just depended on these foreign doctors, I would have already been dead!”

“I am James Coney. If you dare take him away, I will not let you off.” James’ voice was loud and full of vigor. This stunned Andrew and the other doctors.

In truth, Andrew was about to give up and announce James’ time of death earlier if he hadn’t been interrupted by Alex’s sudden appearance.

For such an old man with severe brain hemorrhage, he was basically already knocking on death’s door. For him to be able to regain consciousness in such a short period of time and still swear so loudly and lively, his sudden come back can no longer be explained as a medical feat.

It was simply a miracle.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 316

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 yell, “Promise me, just promise me first. If you don’t, I won’t be able to go in peace.”

Alex felt a pounding headache coming. “Fine, fine. I promise you. What is it?”

“As a man, once he gives his word, the promise must be kept. You would be considered untrustworthy if you go back on your word.” James suddenly seemed to have recovered as he looked at Alex with a piercing gaze.

“Grandpa, what in the world is the matter with you?” Even Cheryl was confused by his actions.

“It’s simple. I want you to be his wife.” James’ face turned sly.

“What?! Grandpa… Why are you being like this? In such a moment too?!” Cheryl’s face flushed red, embarrassed.

Alex shook his head. “Grandpa, I can agree to anything else but this. I really can’t do it, I already have a wife. I will never divorce her.”

His words pierced Cheryl’s heart and made her a little sad.

James persisted. “Then, how about a mistress?”

Everyone present was shocked. James had a great reputation and Cheryl was beautiful and voluptuous. Many men would want to be James’ grandson-in-law, but this old man wanted his granddaughter to be someone’s mistress?!

Had he completely lost his mind?

They didn’ t know that James had been so impressed by Alex’s medical skills to the point that the latter became akin to a god in his eyes. He wouldn’t have behaved in this way if Alex had only taught him the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell. When his soul had left his body, he personally witnessed firsthand Alex grabbing his soul and forcefully pushing it back into his body at the last moment.

With such medical skills, he could only be described as a miracle doctor.

How could he let go of such a man that was impossible to be found anywhere else?

Moreover, because of her father, Cheryl had always found men repulsive. However, Alex was the first man she had willingly accepted and even proactively approached. James may be old, but his eyes could clearly see that letting his granddaughter be his mistress would make her happier than being the wife of another man.

“Alright, alright!” Andrew couldn’t stand to it anymore. “We can talk about your family affairs later. A patient regaining consciousness is normal anyway. It has nothing to do with your witch doctor trickery. Didn’t you say that you could make it so that he would be healthy and able to be up and about in half an hour? It’s already been ten minutes, but both his legs are still broken. I wonder how he will end up as you predicted?”

The others also couldn’t help but burst out laughing. To have a patient with broken legs be up and about, it was truly an idiotic thought.

Alex rolled his eyes. “And what if I prove it?”

Andrew waved his fist and sneered. “If you can do it, then I’ll worship you as my teacher.”

Alex shook his head. “Your qualifications are too low, and you’re too old. I wouldn’t even give you a second look.”

Andrew didn’t get it. “What does he mean?”

A nurse replied, “He means that you’re not qualified to be his disciple, Mr. Andrew.”

“What? Preposterous!”

Alex said, “Fine, how about this. You will publish an article in your professional Swiss medical journals within your capacity, admitting that traditional medicine is not inferior to your Western medicine but that the former’s even better than the latter. How’s that?”

“Hah, fine. I won’t lose anyway. If you lose, then let’s have Mr. James Coney admit that traditional medicine is just a sham.”

Cheryl’s face contorted, but James agreed readily. “Fine, I agree!”

He had his utmost faith in Alex’s medical skills.

Alex nodded, then tore off James’ clothes and said, “Alright, then feast your eyes, Western doctor, on the subtle wonders of my traditional medicine skills which are a hundred times better than your Western medicine.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 317

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 milliliters of blood from the wound on James’ hand. Under normal circumstances, James wouldn’t have been able to endure having this amount of blood drawn after losing so much earlier. However, as he already consumed a blood replenishing pill, this amount was nothing.

What happened right after even rendered Andrew speechless. Alex used the blood that he just extracted to paint on James’ legs.

“Oh, I have to say, making a bet with you may have been the most absurd thing I have done in my entire life.” Andrew wailed, clutching his forehead once again.

Just as he said that, Alex suddenly stamped his foot down and shouted, “Mend!”

Everyone present jumped up in fright, before thinking the entire thing was extremely ridiculous. A nurse who was quite good-looking couldn’t help but rolled his eyes as he said in a low voice, “Isn’t this some folk style exorcism? Even my grandma can put on a better show than this oldies like her would at least chant some spells.”

When the people near him heard this, they snickered and laughed, not able to hold it in anymore.

Cheryl also couldn’t help but face-palm herself secretly. She couldn’t help but think, once they lose this bet, would her grandfather really admit publicly that traditional medicine was a scam? If that was the case, the reputation that he had built his entire life would just go down the drain. Or, people would say that he had gone out of his mind after being involved in an accident.

Even Cheryl did not think that Alex could completely heal severe fractures in ten minutes. However, in the next second, Andrew was the first to exclaim in surprise.

The drawings Alex painted on James’ legs started to wriggle and creep like tadpoles, faster and faster until they finally merged violently. It was actually some kind of talisman that had different effects and uses depending on its arrangement. The ultimate talisman could also change the fate of a person.

Alex wanted to make sure this foreign doctor, Andrew, truly opened his eyes and to be more mindful. That was the reason he had chosen this extraordinary method to treat James. Besides, it was impossible for normal traditional medicine methods to heal a broken leg in ten minutes.

Woosh!

The blood went into a strange formation, flowing down James’ legs. The injuries healed quickly at a speed that was even visible to the naked eyes.

Everyone was stunned speechless.

How was this still considered medical skills? It was simply a miracle.

Andrew rubbed his eyes, deeply doubting whether what he had just seen was an illusion or not, before Alex shouted once again, “Retract!”

The symbols and formations drawn by blood disappeared completely, as though they were never there in the first place.

The entire room fell deadly silent. A full minute passed.

“What just happened just now?”

“Did I… Fall asleep and had a dream?”

 

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 318

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 lost, please keep your promise and help me rectify the reputation of traditional medicine.”

James was nodding his head, agreeing wholeheartedly as he listened to Alex’s words.

He had been using traditional medicine his entire life, and his feelings for it ran deep.

But when Andrew heard that he needed to keep his word about the publication, he still refused to admit defeat.

He stood up. “I still have some doubts about it. Did you use some form of hypnotism on me that made me hallucinate the entire thing? It’s impossible that there are such medical skills in this world.”

Alex sneered at him. “Swiss medical experts act all full of airs and graces. But they turn out to be such uncultured barbarians who don’t even understand basic etiquette.”

“What are you talking about? Now you’re just insulting my dignity.”

“Your action speaks louder than words. You’re the one who’s trampling over your own dignity right now. Who else do you have to blame for that? Don’t get so worked up, you have severe pancreatitis and diabetes. It’s better to be less angry, or you might pop a bubble somewhere,” said Alex as he rubbed his temples, feeling slightly tired.

Andrew was taken aback. “You… How did you know that I have pancreatitis?”

Alex replied, “I can still cure it. However, you have such a rotten character. Why should I bother treating you? If there’s nothing else, Cheryl, Grandpa, let’s leave!”

Andrew suddenly chose this moment to kneel on the ground again, hugging Alex’s legs. “Legendary doctor, master, please forgive my rudeness. Your teachings are absolutely right. I, Andrew, swear in the name of God that I will abide by the terms of the bet. I will publish an apology in our most prominent medical journal in Switzerland. Please don’t leave. Please help me. My pancreatitis and diabetes are killing me.”

All the other doctors and nurses were shocked by what they just witnessed.

Andrew was the big shot of their hospital, and he usually had a rotten temper. They never would have thought that he would be on his knees in public, begging Alex for medical treatment.

However, thinking back to Alex’s superb medical skills just a moment ago, this shouldn’t be too surprising.

Alex raised an eyebrow. “I’m tired today. Perhaps another day!”

As they were leaving, Alex handed his keys over to Cheryl. He asked her to drive as he huddled into the backseat.

James was still full of excitement and wanted to talk to Alex, but he quickly realized that the other had fallen into a deep sleep, he even snored faintly.

“The method that Alex used to save you just now must be tiring, Grandpa. Plus, he rushed here from California, he must be exhausted. You should let him rest,” Cheryl said.

“Oh, okay!” James paused after that, before continuing, “Cherry, as you saw just now, Alex’s powers have endless potential. This kind of man would definitely soar into the skies in the future! Countless women will definitely be fighting for a good man like him. When I said I wanted you to be his mistress, I wasn’t joking. I see that you have also taken a liking to him, am I right?”

Cheryl was silent for a long while, before nodding unexpectedly.

Alex slept for a long time. When he woke up, he found that he was still in his car, but James, who had been sitting next to him, was gone and had been replaced by Cheryl. And his head was actually on her thigh, using it as a pillow. No wonder it felt incredibly comfortable. However, he caught a whiff of something, and he sniffed harder.

“Alex, you’re awake?”

“Yeah!”

“What are you sniffing?” Cheryl felt a little embarrassed by his strange behavior. He faced her directly and his hands were on her waist.

Alex’s brows furrowed slightly, and he said, “You’re on your period.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 319

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 seat, it felt like the air was becoming warmer.

Alex said, “I’ll give you a massage… Well, on your stomach. If you mind it, then let’s forget about that method. I’ll prescribe a medicine for you, but the effect may not be as good.”

Unexpectedly, Cheryl lifted her shirt up right away. The expression on her face also told him to get on with it.

Alex glanced at her stomach, then he carefully pressed on it.

Neither of them said anything, but it felt even more strange not to speak.

Cheryl broke the silence and said, “Thank you very much for today. If it wasn’t for you, the situation with my grandfather would have been disastrous.”

“Don’t worry about it. It was just a small effort on my part.”

“To you it may have been small, but to me, it was a matter of entrusting something to you that would otherwise make my world collapse. So, I have to show my gratitude properly in order to repay you… What do you want?”

Alex’s hands paused for a moment. “There really isn’t a need to. You already allowed me to enjoyably lay my head on a beautiful woman’s thigh. That’s enough of a repayment”

Cheryl felt a warm sensation from the place he was pressing.

It felt like there was a warm current swirling around, and the pain amazingly gradually disappeared. However, her entire body also felt hot, and she suddenly felt dizzy in her head again. She shyly asked, “You think I’m beautiful?”

“Uh… Y-yeah. You’re quite beautiful.”

“Then, do you like me?”

‘Dammit, did you have to be so direct?’

‘If he said he didn’t, wouldn’t that just hurt her?’

However…

“Ahem, you’re so beautiful, I’m sure every man likes you!”

“Then… I think you can consider what you promised Grandpa.”

“What did I promise your grandpa?” Alex was taken aback as he tried to recall.

‘What was it he said about being his mistress?’

He slapped the back of his head suddenly. “I just remembered that I asked Dorothy out for dinner! Cheryl, you don’t feel the pain anymore, right? I’ll give you a better treatment that will treat the root cause of this next time. I have to go.”

Having said that, he pushed open the car door and leapt out, running away.

Cheryl was stunned for a long time, then she covered her face with her hands. “Oh, that was so embarrassing, so embarrassing… I don’t have the guts to face him again.”

After a while, Alex ran back.

Cheryl’s eyes trembled as she thought, ‘Could it be that he’s going to agree to it?’

But all Alex said was, “I just realized that this car is mine, Cheryl. Do you mind getting out?”

Thirty seconds later.

Cheryl stomped her foot violently as she watched Alex drive off. “You cowardly henpecked husband!”

It was unclear when James had appeared, but stood there and shook his head as he said, “There is not a wall under the sky that can’t be scaled. If at first you don’t succeed, try again. If you still don’t succeed, try a different spot.”

Alex first called Brittany to inform her that everything was fine and that he was safe.

He also told her that he would remain in California for the time being, and wouldn’t be returning to Michigan. He could also play a role in confusing the Rockefeller family by pretending to still be in Michigan.
